Madam Larry's sporting predictions 2009
Leaping Larry | The Age | January 1, 2009
The new year offers so much promise, so much hope. Old disappointments and grim realities always seem to fade under the brilliant light of new possibilities. The previously unattainable appears well within reach, and 365 shimmering days stretch ahead.
Anyway, that’s the Richmond fans out of the way.
....
Ben Cousins roars back to his best form, carrying all before him, and even Richmond, in his glory, but then is tragically struck down by a bizarre electrocution accident while shaving all his body hair. The Tigers are never the same again, but thanks to strong early results, still manage to limp into eighth position and a finals berth. But the AFL, acting on a late video report from an interchange steward, finds that in round 16, Richmond had 19 men on the field for three seconds, strips the club of the match points, and Richmond finishes ninth, on percentage.
