I thought his article was excellent.

It's a real shame that it has taken them this long to realise that there were poor standards at the club.
The Prima-Donna paradise, near enough is good enough, substandard mediocre culture is what a lot of us on OER were screaming about last year besides the first final in 13 years and because of this we weren't suprised that the cycle of Skata was repeating.

It's mind boggling that they couldn't see it or that the standards went backwards instead of being raised to another level after losing to the 9th place cheating scum.  :banghead

We can only hope this is the correction  & wake up that was needed, but how do we really know if Tigeritis™©® is finally gone?

Got that 100% right did Garry.  And I hate to admit that because he is a Richmond-hating sycophant.

Pains me to say it but it's a good article. he makes a lot of points that many on here have during the course of the season

He may hate us and it is a genuine given he does but in this case IMHO there's not much you can whack him for
x2 the one thing id add is, and he doesnt say is.
THE LIST IS GROSSLY OVERRATED.

While you make some valid points about us, worry about your own basket case of a club, Garry. You never have the guts to heavily criticise your own joke of a club while you continually take potshots and write critical articles about Richmond. No doubt tomorrow night on Footy Classified, it'll be another soft and quick dee-flection like "yes, it was a very disappointing day for all connected with the Melbourne footy club but Roosy and the players know that and they have this week to atone for such a disappointing display and effort"  ::). The same goes for Mike Sheahan who is another who won't go to town on his beloved Dees. Red and blue protected species  :sleep.

Not really, most people rate it a 7-12 list which is about where we're at.

No 100+ point defeats this year. Happy days. :help

Next year our aim is to win a home game at the G. 0/11 this year.

Any new franchises coming through?

I thought we had won 4 games at the G and probably 5 with the saints this year.

Think he is talking about the mighty Dees, the goal kicking sensations of 3 goals in a game of footy

LMAO@Lyons beloved demons losing at home to a GWS side by 64 points with 19 players and no captains on the field after half time.

Spot on article, and very pleased that the playing group may have been instrumental in the turnaround.
Maybe our group is finally coming together............Remember the Titans!!
