Crowd down a bit but many more than most will expect.  And yes, I'll be there too.

73,000 to see Judd's first game
86,000 to see Cuz's first game
91,000 to see Richo's farewelll

Richo will pull a fair crowd.

The game doesn't have the football hype of last year, which could change if we have a good showing in the NAB cup. Silly bet i know but given the unknown effect that Hardwick has had on the players, what are our odds to take out the NAB cup?

Ratten saying he expects Murphy and Waite to play. I wonder if they will.

Both Ratten and Waite would be underdone.
If Ratten is starting with this crap three weeks before NAB Cup you know the Filth are well short of their best 22 come March 25.

As for the crowd I would say somewhere betwen 75 and 80K.

If Murphy and Waite played for Richmond and that was a RFC website article then after last year you could virtually right both off for the whole season    . At Punt Rd "we reckon he'll be right to play round 1" translates into you won't see that player until round 10 at best .

Sadly,2010 for me,signifies the pinnacle of loss of interest in the game and the RFC.
I'm over being over it.

I'll be there but this post could not have put it better. My sentiments exactly.

[FNM]

I'll be there for Richo
Expecting to leave at half time lol

If I could suffer through to the end of last year's debacle then there is no way I can't suffer whatever they decide to throw up this year.  Having said that, I am expecting a far different Richmond side - literally and in attitude - to the one that turned up last year.  And I WILL be there - the trip down for the first game is a bit of a tradition as a father and sons boys weekend - wouldn't miss it for quids.

[WilliamPowell]

I will be there as always...

 

[cub]

I'll be there  - stuff knows why  It is one of my lifetime habits that will die hard, but it's starting to stink to high heaven.
I don't have any feeling towards the start of this season yet .

[richmondrules]

I'll be there and I'm looking forward to it.

Win, lose or draw I love the opportunity to see the Tigers. Last year I sat in the stands with my mouth open and a sinking feeling in my heart more often than I care to remember. Even so I was always up and excited for the next week. I hated the mid season break and I was impatient for next season by the first week of the 2009 practice matches ... errr I mean finals.

Bring on 2010!!!

I don't know his name but did anyone else here one of the fill-in SEN commentators this morning say the Carlton-Richmond rivalry doesn't really exist these days?!
