They conducted a full independent club review last year.
They made drastic changes.
Haha! Drastic? Really?
Yes.
Balme, Caracalla and Leppitsch all came in for starters.
Fairly significant I would have thought.
...and the board and key personnel have been much the same for some time. Good on 'em for holding their nerve I suppose, after last season the last thing they needed was to cause wholesale destruction via instability. That's our job.

This will be a real test.

I think they'll do ok until proven otherwise.
They won the flag

Ross Lyon was a liability.
Should have done better with that list.
At one stage in the interview process, Longmire was the standout candidate until they interviewed Lyon

Couple things went well - very few injuries allowed for stability in the side. Listening to Leppa he spoke about the importance of own VFL team as allowed a player such as townsend to develop into the role they required and come in and play that role when ready. Also have a number to first round draft picks which they accumulated . They then traded in more first round picks in Caddy and Prestia ( and yes overpaid at the time) but added to quality.

Also had players who played their role. We almost had that in 2009/2010 with McQualter , Eddy, Peake etc but just couldn't deliver enough.

Caddy was a first round three clubs ago.
Richmond paid pick 24 for him.
The VFL thing is a myth. We have full control over where and how our listed players play at Sandy. If Sandy wanted to win for Sandy they wouldn't be playing three ruckmen every week.
