So you are saying that supporters should never be critical of any aspect of the club?
Who isn't a fan of the thinking man's orange Tim Fleming?

Gerks 27/6/11

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

No, criticism based on fact or real perception is fine.

The ill-informed crap and bias that happens on forums such as this one, although started with the best intent, is bulldust from people who imply that they support the club and players.

Abracadabra.

The players don't read your crap...or mine... so they don't feel any heat except from within the club.

Get it....from within the club.....negative wacko's like you ARE NOT WITHIN THE CLUB.....and neither am I.

Can you play state footy or VFL?  Nah.

Can you even hit a target with at least your preferred foot.....even in your lounge room?  Nah.

Are you a mouth?.......yeah.

Place your wand in your right hand, you know the hand that is attached to the wrist without a watch on it.....sorry a watch is a device that most people have that shows them what time it is......

Wave the wand over your head four times.

Say the Magic words.................I love every Richmond player and official..........and stuff off.

Just keep the fuel coming.

Mate, I've had a hard day. crappy weather, but four take-offs and four successful landings....the punters down the back had a ball too.

I get to take off again tomorrow so I am ecstatic.

In response to the OP.. we the Richmond Tigers have THE biggest bandwagon in the entire world of sport, i remember being at games in the 90's with crowds of less than 20,000 sometimes IIRC less than 10,000. Its a sad indictment on our supporter base that this happens.

But it is only a game and not everyone puts the importance on it that others do.

Even though it is wriiten with rage, there is some semblance of sense in what has been written

Why would you bother busting your guts to play footy at the highest level for Richmond?

It can't be the effort and performance because no matter how hard you work or how you perform the so called "supporters" drag you down.  Edwards

It can't be passion for your club, because no matter how hard you work or how you perform the so called "supporters" drag you down.  White

It can't be ability because the so called "supporters", who never even got close to making the grade, drag you down.   Deledio

It can't be because your dad was a Tiger superstar, because the so called "supporters" drag you down, no matter how hard you worked to achieve your own success and won, before succeeding at another club after being supported by the so called "supporters". Raines

It can't be because you are a life member player or administrator of the club, because the so called "supporters" think you are a dud and want you out.  Campbell

It can't be because you have kicked a squillion goals, because the so called "supporters" think you could never kick and should have kicked forty squillion. They also know what you need to do to correct those kicking errors, but they can't kick for nuts themselves.  Richo

It can't be because you are literate but have outstanding footy skills and know how to spell weather in the correct context whether it is raining or not, because the so called "supporters" live too close to a railway line.  Jackson

It can't be because you love playing footy because the so called "supporters" don't love you because you are too skinny, too big, too fast, too many tattoos, too many grey hairs, too cute, two years too long in the system, too many injuries, too nice a bloke or too much bandwidth.    Kingy, Graham and others

So why would you so called "supporters", who constantly knock most Richmond players, be bothered playing for Richmond, if you ever had the ability to have a chance?

How'd i go
