If I drop my scarf, membership card or any of my Richmond gear, through the week or before a game, it’s a sure sign we’re gonna lose. My heart sinks every time this happens, because I already know the result before the game has even been played.
Before anyone wants to blame me for the 9 losses in a row in 2002, however many losses in a row we had in 2003 and us losing 14 straight last year, it wasn’t all my fault. It’s true that my sporting ability and hand-eye co-ordination need work, but I’m just not that much of a butter fingers.
I’m prepared to accept responsibility for about 4 or 5 losses, maybe 6 at the outside, but that’s it.
