A person did ask the question about our association with Richmond at a recent football club meeting.Spoke to the Mexicans. Apparently it's nothing too official and mostly at coaching level. Damien Hardwick (AFL Tigers Coach) took over that team in 2010 when they were at their lowest ebb (hadn't won a comp for 30 years) and within 10 years has guided them to two premierships.
So before the bleaters come out swinging, it's not about The Dogs aiming to win a premiership within 10 years - it's about culture, loyalty and the mission as you're in the build phase. Apparently Deano wanted no stone unturned in preparing for 2020 - or so I'm told.
That's as much as I could get - and the Tigers also regularly do tackling and other drills with the Storm as they train across the road from each other (Punt Rd & AAMI Park).
Paul Dunn responded in brief,
He said that we were looking at the general running and structures
In particular their membership growth over the years.
How they went from such small numbers to being massive was very impressive
