Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
Richmond have the worst fans in the AFL atm, they have the most whining, crybaby supporters existing in the world out of any sporting club period Yeah even worse than Collingwood
I wonder if Hardwick likes playing at Giants Stadium. I am tipping he wouldn’t mind playing at Marvel this weekend. Karma! @AFL
Jealous?Why the stuff would we be jealous of a team that would whinge, bitch, pee and moan about how they "don't get enough games at the MCG?"
The one thing I cannot respect and will never respect are the grubby acts in packs, blatant holding-the-man, blocking, and obvious dump-your-opponent-after-disposal which have been coached into them and which they do as a team, game after game.I'm not talking about "unsociable football", which Brisbane and Hawthorn also played in abundance for their three-peats. I can respect niggle and toughness.Put most simply, if for free kicks your blokes are " ... last every year bar one, and I think we were like 15th that year as well " it's because of the way they play.As a Richmond fan, you must know what I mean because it has definitely contributed to your success, and here's why:Richmond 2017-21 do more deliberate illegal acts, especially holding in packs or when an Umpire is unsighted, than any other team I've seen in 50+ years of footy watching.It's most definitely to their benefit.If it's missed, play on, so their advantage from dirty play (classic example, 2017 GF eg Eddie held by both opponent's hands in the goalsquare, second quarter).If it's punished, they benefit from the stoppage and have time to regroup/set up. The free kicks they give away deliberately are opposition momentum-stoppers.It works!If you doubt me, watch this but be warned, you will not like it:--- 0.32, look at Lever being held down in the contest, closely, with Umpires' view obstructed.and--- 3.15, Betts being held in exactly the same way, different player. It's coached into them.and ... and ... and ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bet9xIXVhdk
Most of those incidents can be classified under "the bloke who made the video doesn't know the rules". Claiming Jacobs wasn't deliberate is laughable. Then again it isn't deliberate when their players do it at the Adelaide Oval in the last minute of a game so that might explain why dopey Crows fans sook when they rightfully get pinged outside SA.
So Port will have likely 6 obvious starting team players out for the game against GeelongNothing said from AFL mediaRichmond, who don’t have 6 starting team players out, are apparently ravaged with injury and no form issuesYou couldn’t make up the bias #afl
And the love affair of the AFL and Richmond continues.
Did Jack Riewoldt write this question?
The Dreamtime game at Perth Stadium will be the biggest crowd Richmond has drawn this year.
Richmond supporters asking for comments to be disabled is a bit rich & precious... They have to be the worst supporter base for online trolling going around Face with tears of joy
Injury nightmare? Really? Rather mild compared to most other clubs ....
“Injury nightmare” almost every other team in the Comp has minimum 10 players on their injured list (and most have had 10 all year).... Tigers have 6. C’mon now 😅
Looking like the tiges are going to miss the 3peat, they won’t be happy it leaves them they gotta get 3 in a row to be better than the hawks and the lions
This Richmond supporter puts a grain of rice in a jar for every day Essendon doesn’t win a final 🤭Watch: https://twitter.com/i/status/1400605125383659520
Put one in every time Dusty does a high fend off and doesn’t get a free against. I’ll wait!
Probably just started following richmond in 2017
Bombers will win another before the Tigs .
Dons winning the premiership within 5 years
Richmond were the laughing stock of the AFL for over 30 years... think old mate has a very short memory 🤫🤐
The thing that still gets me is how quickly (after years of being poo), they got so arrogant.
I thought nothing could be sadder than Essendon not winning a final for 17 years.Turns out there is.
I was thinking the same thing. When Richmond were down in the dumps they were rattling tins to save there skins and the supporters are notorious for spitting on there coach when things take a turn for the worse
Yes, exactly. They where what, ninth for how many years?? There arrogance is quite astounding to be honest!
why are Richmond in this conversation?
Definitely not the tigers they are the worst by a huge margin.
Truth hurts princess. You are nowhere the class of these other 3 sides. Barely any of your players would get a game with these sides during there reigns.
How many richmond players start in that brisbane side?
Dusty and rance maybe one or two others but that’s it.
Only dusty very good point
They would obviously squeeze a few on pine but in starting 18 would lucky to be more than 3 position for position swap
