All MCG car parks closed over long weekend.

The closure will affect Sunday's Richmond v Gold Coast clash ...

i just can't wait to see his inclusions this week ::)

he's actually holding the long term success of the club to ransom by trying to save his own (and his mates) arses.

He truly believes his position is more important than a viable successful club, and us 70000 members and 500,000 supporters can go to hell

Hardly unusual for a coach, particularly one under the pump, to coach for his career and immediate results, at the expense of their club's longer term prospects.....Wallace virtually built his entire career around it....you could probably almost say the same for Ross Lyon before this year...although at least he gets close to flags...(but then so did Wallace at Footscray)

The media is hoping we lose on Sunday so they can rant about us for another week to boost their ratings.

This from Barrett:

IF ... the Suns beat the Tiges at the 'G on Sunday ...    

THEN ... oh boy. Don't want to sound like Bruce McAvaney here, but they couldn't, could they?

Oh...but we can can't we.....we can...

Of course we will win ......this year reeks of the Wallace era , in particular 05 , 06 , and 08 . Miles off the top teams but good enough to beat teams around us or the ones who have already put the cue back in the rack.

Another vanilla pick 10/11/12 to look forward to.

I recall you saying practically the same thing when the experts of the forum tried to point out over the off season that our list and the club were on a backwards slide from finals.

Anyway, I hope everything works out for you in the long run and please do believe your opinions and you are special

I'd eat my hat if there was even the slightest proof I ever said such a thing. Unless you are trying to say I defended the club when others attacked it after finals which if that's the case is completely different. Enjoy your continued skepticism, I hope it brings you more joy than it appears to be.

How is it skepticism ?

It's a measured assessment of the current and ongoing circumstances, that are the RFC.

If you disagree, research the supporting statistics.
