Brendon Gale defends plan for three Richmond flags by 2020 - Footy Classified Vault - Footy on Nine 

Yeah he's okay. Doesn't go too bad on the big stage either

Melbourne didn't think he was any good. Scully and Trengrove were their future premiership stars.

He shows a bit of potential

Understatement of the decade!!

@@AlonsoRules Of course they and every other club knew he was good, but they thought guys like Scully and Trengove were more 'solid citizen' types who would be 'captaincy material' they could build their list around. Crazily making Trengove the youngest captain in the history of the league (albeit co-captain with Jack Grimes who was only 2 years older) didn't help him or them.

Thanks very much WCBoy and Di all the very best for the big dance and I hope you guys have a great day/time:)

They know we're coming

by 2020. its 2020 so not as good

'ol Gazza must be livid because Melbourne should have picked Martin in the 2009 Draft

It's not like Gaz wasn't echoing the sentiments of everyone. Richmond were disgraceful and if you disagree you have low standards.

@@lachiesmart8710 wow 😂

Everyone’s an expert 10 years on. You’d have laughed at Gale 10 years ago. You’d have laughed harder 5 years ago. What they’ve done is amazing and they deserve enormous credit, but these interviews need to be viewed in the context of the time it was shot.

You can't say you aren't surprised by Richmond's recent purple patch. They were a joke since the inception of the AFL

@@ilikegamesandtech6712 Of course everyone was surprised. I'm really pointing out how the media love to kick a dog while it's down, and how excellent a job Benny has done.

Even if they don't, still have to give to him. He and Peggy along with Dimma have absolutely turned this club around.

You mean Dusty and Prestia

Ues

Their window is still good for 2021 & 2022 that’s the scary part.

And 110, 000 members, should of been 4 flags but for a really bad day.

Particularly Caroline that absolute slug.

Excellent idea John

So, Grant Thomas, what have you done?

I bet you didn’t believe him 10 years ago either. Experts in hindsight are a broken record

@@Superfly1503 probably not, but I would of given him the benefit of the doubt as he was a more qualified man for the job at task than myself. I wouldn't of shown him a complete disregard for what he was trying to.say, and had a little more respect for the mans genuine prospective thought. He genuinly raised the concerns and said this is our plan. To which they( The journalists who seem to know more about running a football club than anyone else) said in no better terms "you fool" Instead of " ok, well.we see thats quite ambitious, but hey, you seem to know what your idea is. Good luck. We'll see you in 10 years for a follow up

Mate, it took them about 30 years to acknowledge and rectify it. I think we've made that step this year

@@jayfiled lmao Essendon's dogshit

@@stimpy6968 it's only relative. We've had a good run in the past and will again in the future and no one will judge us based on this period of mediocrity. Carlton has been worse over a longer period with so many number 1 picks it's funny people now feel sorry for them so they leave them alone.

Carlton is closer to a flag then Essendon is and that makes me feel sad. Both clubs were once big clubs that were competing every year for flags and since the new decade both clubs have failed Richmond early on were a basket case and Same with hawthorn and also Geelong but they have all won multiple flags and were all not great early 2000 because they rectified the issues early enough we have not developed anyone of note since Watson we have a couple good players that are coming through and some players of some ability come through but we have been so disorganised this year was hard to watch but it makes sense when your president is outgoing and doesn't do media, your captain is on the sidelines for most of the year your coach is sending mixed messages and taking cheap shots at the clubs and your incoming coach has done bearly any media it's hard to say our club is healthy ATM and unless we get some consistency and structure in place we will stay mediocre. I want Essendon to succeed and be successful it's just hard to stay the course when your club is in no where land.

I think woosher should come back to fix things up at Essendon. Maybe another 10 years at the Helm ???

If only he could’ve turned into a great player like joe Daniher or mason cox. Sigh

​@@fullysickshuffler666 or Tom Scully/Trengrove - the twin towers from Melbourne

@@AlonsoRules We made some errors as well!! Every club does them!! Buddy - Tambling and Fiora - Pavlich!!

too* well

Lmao, stfu. Don’t give a sh!t if this was 2 years ago, I remember on the bus ride to school the next day and hearing Richmond fans calling KB’s ‘Hungry for Sport’ talk show the next day calling the plan delusional and how the club was all talk. Hindsight is always beautiful. 🤡😂

I would work for BG in a heartbeat

Richmond wouldn't necessarily have won in 2019 without learning the hard lessons of 2018.

We havent finished yet!!! Could very be back to back to back!!!

Honestly I was pretty gutted port vs Doggies. As a tigers supporter last years game was phenomenal, and would love to see u guys win next year :)

Look at them now they are better than then now this is coming from a tigers supporter

Tbh no one would have predicted that Richmond would win two flags and going into 2020 a chance of going back to back

3 will be sweet

@@kevsmagpies1306 Except Benny Gale?

@@tomomikirkwood8638 would*

@@kevsmagpies1306 huh? Benny did.

Garry Lyon was a very good player.

Melbourne's vision is just to make the finals! Thats the difference between Richmond and Melbourne!!!

Name your price? He can't be bought sorry Brendon Gale is a Richmond man through and through. The only other place he might go in football is to run the AFL. He would never be involved with any other club in a million years. His grandfather even played a few games for the Tigers way back when.

Well you didn't need him.

Prophecy competed indeed.

We did

She was so keen on driving her own agenda and opinion in this interview.

She is what annoys me most about this interview. Can't stand her as a journo. The constant negativity, the muck raking, the total faith she shows in her sources who she can never name, her opinions she often trots out as "facts". She hasn't changed a bit. Hutchy not far behind her.

Actually 100,000 plus members 3 years running

Pretty close mate Overtaking your mob for premierships in next couple of years and a culture you lame golf clappers could only dream of Overrated Boring Yesterday Lol

Equal on 13 VFL/AFL flags now. It's only a matter of time before Richmond overtake Hawthorn on flags
