I didn't know we were tipped to go the season undefeated.

If at the start of the year we were told that we would be 7-4 including a win in Perth, with the losses coming from Geelong, Collingwood, Essendon and Freo in Perth, I don't think anyone would bat an eyelid. I bet we'll lose to Hawthorn and Sydney, and possibly Essendon and Fremantle again and knobs and the media will carry on about us not being able to beat teams above us. Well when you're around 6th/7th on the ladder there aren't that many teams above you. The teams above are trying for top 4 and pushing to win a flag, and the reason all the other teams are below you is because you beat them. Simples.

I thought the Essendon loss we blew it because I thought we were no chance against West Coast.
That West Coast game was one of the greatest wins we've had in a long time because as a club,We have never got off the canvas after a bad loss and drew the line in the sand.
That game we did and it showed to me this group is going places.

Talk about emotions in two weeks.I was crying in my beer at the Social club after the Essendon game.

I was doing handstands at the Waterside Hotel in the City when we beat West Coast.

 ;D

Most of the patrons left me alone(left the pub),a West Coast fan retorted that I will never see a flag, after they knew Richmond would win.
Every man and his dog in there was going for West Coast.

THE FEAR IS COMING!

Would rather play Collingwood in the elimination

I want revenge for Round 4 ! The look on Pies fans faces after being eliminated by us would be priceless!
