Happy clappers generally have trouble separating things......like a football club from it's paid employees.....

And  conditioned losers are a miserable bunch but then again - misery loves company

It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

You probably still think we should beat Geelong because a tiger would beat a domestic cat in real life...

Obviously of u lose the first Elimination final after a 9 game streak, it's not worth it.

If we had of lost any of the 9 games we would not have played finals. So by extension we played 10 elimination finals in a row and lost one.

You know it makes sense  :snidegrin

I apologise for not talking about Richmond like they are my least preferred club.

What's the bet Stalin, these rose coloured glasses supporters happily clap the team off after every loss?

Clap opposition goals because it's good football, even when we get spanked?

And feel indifference to suceeding in finals, as per the quote in my signature below.

Don't you know Dooks - we're not "real" supporters like Matty & HRT because we actually give a stuff and express our concerns as to whether or not the club has the right coach, recruits the right players and hires the best people to run it, because we highly value & desire finals success and premierships... all of which are so obviously the hallmarks of people who hate the club....:shh

I am not too sure if that is what they are saying or thinking at all.

My reading of it is that they know we can improve and hope we do but they also acknowledge that the RFC is improving and despite some "experts" on here (that are conspicuously quiet at the moment) saying we are going backwards.

Anyway just my take.

Carry on.
