Win lose or draw will be there.
Players are mentally weak as is the coach.
Club is a failure, however will be there nonetheless.
I'm not a martyr or a warrior far from it.
My support is not conditional.

Up for my morning constitutional and thought I'd drop by. I've been RFC free for 2 years now and never felt better. The AFL and RFC fraudsters aren't really to blame ......it's like jumping into a snake pit and complaining when you are inevitably bitten. It's the sheeple who continually show up for this punishment (and part with their cash) who perpetuate this swindle

But in the end it's just a a bunch of egoists organising a game where the inflated skin of a dead animal is kicked around a circle....there is more to life than this...move on.

That's enough for me, not until Hardwick is gone and better recruiting decisions are made.  I'm a fool to keep throwing good money after bad to watch that crap dished up.

Agree no more until we make some personnel changes, people who keep going and keep paying to "support the team" just perpetuate this whole vicious cycle by not making them accountable for their actions. Tiger supporters are too loyal and it's done more harm that good ultimately

I get much more enjoyment out being involved in local footy than this, and have for a while now.

was planning to go to melb later in the year to catch a game, but after last night not sure, though the main reason for heading down may still apply .

Not spending the money just to watch this mob live though, as you cant even pick a game that they should win and be comfortable about it happening.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

what you only go to the games you know we will win. That's taking the excitement out of the game AL. Richmond v Collingwood would be the game to see. l pray we will beat them this year  :pray  :pray :pray  :snidegrin

when you need to fork out $500 odd dolars for the airfares, yeah I selectively pick my games. Even then, there was a period of time where i had not seen a richmond win live for a bloody long time.

Poor old smokey got burned this weekend, but he also had a good reason to be down there besides the footy

Lol TM.  Worst game of football I've seen them play in a long long long time.  Thankfully the rest of my weekend home was well worth the effort and money!

I'm not sure AFL is enjoyable anymore. Definitely not for the players in 17 of 18 clubs. Flooding, zones, high rotations are killing the game as a spectical. The hands in the back rule has been the best rule in 10 years, since the 50m penalty.

But all this protecting the head, no sliding in to the ball type rules are just crazy and these rules are being put in because of the way the game is played and coached now. If anything they should be have a raising the arms rule so when Joel Selwood raises his arms and the tackle slides up then he doesn't get a free. Like the ducking the head rule.
