Azeeto brushless home and garden power tools are built to work. Do it with Azeeto. Do you. And the Ford Ranger triple stack deal. Participating Ford dealers now. You're listening to Crunch Time.
For Ed and Sanderson, Cam Luke, it is crunch time for the Ford Ranger triple stack deal. And Osito Brushless Power Tools, built to work. Osito, do you. The MCG, gorgeous Melbourne morning as we gear up between the Tigers and the Hawks. And the CEO of Richmond, Shane Dunn, has joined us here in the Sunday crunch time studio. Mate, how you doing? Cam Brinson, good to be with you. Yeah, great day for footy today. It is. It's beautiful. We're having a nice winter, actually, football weather-wise. It's not obviously warm, but we aren't seeing a huge amount of rain outside of the monsoon last Saturday night between the Hawks and the Blues. But you've played some nice weather games, actually, last month.
I'm kind of hoping winter's broken and we're already into spring. But yeah, it's been fantastic. Great weather for footy and hopefully draw a decent crowd here today.
Hey, talking great weather. We'll go back just about a month or so. You played a home game at Hobart and down in Tassie, and on the back and the wash-up of that, are you happy with how it all went?
Yeah, it was a wonderful weekend down in Hobart. It was dark mofo weekend on, so there was something buzzing and people everywhere. Tough for a comm. Yeah, it was tough for accommodation, but we managed to get that in nice and early. It was a wonderful weekend. The Hobart people welcomed us. There's so many Richmond people down there, such a... Great stories of Richmond people. Some people caught up with Royce Hart while down there. Dustin Martin played a game down there. Jack Riewoldt was down there. So it was a really good weekend and we'll go back again next year and then we'll vacate and let the Devils have a run at it after that.
How much frustration is within the club? When you make the decision a couple of years ago and you go to the draft and you bring all these talented juniors in and you attack the draft and the way you went about it has been continually applauded. But at different times... struggled to get those players on the park. Circumstantial injury, whatever it might well be. Has frustration crept in within the four walls of the football club because you haven't been able to see all these kids have a crack and develop in their first two years together?
I think frustration is a great way to describe it. We're all frustrated. I think everyone can see the plan that we're putting in place and like you said, we went to the draft, we got ahead of the Tasmanian entry in the draft and those concessions. So there's certainly a sense of frustration. There's frustration with individuals when they're injured. There's frustration with our with our fans and our supporters, our coaching staff. All of us are frustrated when we can't get these young, talented players with really high potential out there so we can start to get them developing on the field. Yeah, absolutely. That's probably a fair way to describe it.
And how would you define then success, Shane, over the next, say, three to five years? So I know we're lazy. We look at wins and losses. So what gives you the most confidence that the club is on the right path at the moment?
Yeah, look, winning is absolutely imperative and important to us, and that's what we're aiming to do. But while we're going through this development phase, we want to make sure we can see the young players come through and play in the positions that ultimately they're going to be playing in. So you'll see Sam Cumming going through the middle, Sam Lawler will be back today.
What was Shane Dunne's impression of Richmond's Hobart/Tassie home game weekend?
And so giving them midfield minutes time, making sure they're playing in these positions that they're ultimately going to be playing in. Some of our more mature players do step away and retire once they get to the end of their careers. So that's ultimately what we're looking at, developing young players, seeing improvement in them across the list and playing a style and a way that we know is going to win games of football.
