As far fetched as it sounds....
« on: May 23, 2017, 12:44:16 AM »
Is the club cursed??
We seem to endure unbelievably excruciating losses and bizarre moments that could only be described in the twighlight zone.

There was some discussion today on talkback radio and apart from tigeritis it's probably the next most believable scenario given how unbelievable poohouse are luck is..

Thoughts?

This club of our is great at making stupid decisions.

Like not renewing Tommy Hafeys contract beyond '76.
Sacking Tony Jewel in after '81. Sacking Sir Francis after '83.
Not renewing KBs contract. Employing Jeans, not giving Northey any assurances.
Employing Robert Walls who lost the passion to coach. Unleashing the Giesch. Getting Frawley, Wallace & Hardwick etc.

And these are only coaching decisions.

What about all the ridiculously stupid recruiting and development decisions the club has do.
The club is a Jobs for mates club. We are the PC ambassador of the AFL.
We are The leagues social concious, campaigning at every opportunity for any perceived cause because the club exists to change the political landscape.
Everyone knows, with Richmond, utimately it's not about winning premierships.  At the moment it's about our U.S president & the wall of stability she is building.    :rollin

 That Richmondy gag actually makes him gag. Such a camp joke coming from Footscray's campest comedian.
If they ever re-boot the Carry On movies, Wil can play Kenneth Williams character

Not cursed.

Just a victim of its own, selfish, narcissistic culture....the one from behind those "4 walls"

If you believe in curses, you'd be an imbecile
