i sense a sarcastic tone to your reply WP. That's fine your entitled to your opinion.
Your only as good as your last game and that was putrid from the RFC
Not disputing last Sunday was terrible.
But overall the the season gave us what we all wanted (if we are truly honest) and that was making the 8 and playing in September.
But considering where we were as a club 4 years ago to right now. I'd take right now. We've improved that cannot be disputed
I can honestly say WP that I'd rather anything other than what happened Sunday. It would've been better not to have made the finals. Sunday was the most humiliating day I've experienced as a Richmond member.
You'll probably disagree but maybe losing to the scum & the whole scenario of it hurts more than any game I've seen. Maybe its because I'm a wog and it adds more weight but there's no doubt in my mind that this was the worst loss that I can remember and we've all seen plenty in 30 years.
Sunday was the icing on the cake to the biggest joke in the AFL.
Mr Tigra, if we hadn't made the finals this year, then this forum would have gone into meltdown because the vitriol form people would have been worse than anything dished up since Sunday. It's been clear all through this season that no finals was clearly unacceptable to the masses.
We made finals and yes we lost a game we should have won but after 12 years of not making finals I reckon we've taken the first step. If you can't see past Sundays result to recognise what's been achieved in 2013 then that's your choice.
But for me after getting past the disappointment I've realised that I'd rather be where we are now than where were 2, 3, 4 years ago
And BTW Sundays loss doesn't come close to the insipid, non-competitive, gutless, dishonest performance they dished up to against Carlton back in 2011 in the FTF game when we wre thrashed by 100 odd points. That's still the worse loss I've ever seen
sorry would have to disagree here.
in that game and in that year we were no good so didnt really come as a surprise.
the only game that comes close to being as humiliating is the benny cousins hamstring game.
forget about what you thought in round 1 or what we were like 4 years. I myself looked trim and terrific 4 years ago but that was then this is now
Facts are we lost to the same team for the second time in a month after hearing how we have "learnt from our mistakes" our win/loss record against them was mainly in the past. Give me a spell.
Take maric, rance, ellis, nick v, cotch, king we have no men left in this team next year. Rest are faggots if you want the truth.
maric and cotch go down in 14, we are royally screwed.,
GRIGG, Edwards, Lids, Houli, Jack. are they even men?? There DNA is made of estrogen if you ask me. Jack is not even half the player richo was.
When was the last time we did what carlton did to us in a big game on the big stage. 95 semi?
Is it better than not making it. Im not sure, i doubt it. That was as bad as it gets if you ask me in the last decade.
The only positive and its a slight positive of the year, is that because of that loss we will surely make finals
If thats not incentive to redeem yourselves as a footy club i dont know what is.
WP until we bring ruthelss never give up type of footy into our club we wont be doing much apart from the lower reaches of the 8 and just outside. We are as lethal said a club with no ticker on the big stage.
