Robbo on 360 tonight said past years don't matter and if Richmond loses to the Saints tomorrow night then his "thread" post-game will be that we've lost 3 games in a row with tough games to come. There comes a time for every club when it changes from 'they'll be fine come the business end of the season' based on past years to the reality of now of losing games and it becoming a real concern.

Big Question: Richmond
Does the mood change if they fall to 2-3?
Should you wish to find the last time that Richmond lost three consecutive games, you would need to take your plutonium powered DeLorean back to June 30th of 2019.
Like the club’s sides of the early twenties and the early seventies, winning has become a habit for these contemporary Tigers. However, should St. Kilda manage to topple them this weekend, would the previously buoyant mood at Punt Road take a turn for the worse?
Richmond’s previous pair of losses to Sydney and Port Adelaide are nothing to get in a twist about if you take ladder positions into account. But for a team that has swept almost all before them in the past three years, if the eighth placed Tigers head into their clash with Melbourne on Anzac eve off the back of three defeats, there is no telling how tense – and possibly terse – things will be behind closed doors.
Of course, all of this speculation relies upon the fellow 2-2 Saints getting the chocolates on Thursday. However, if it is a bastardised blues theme that play over the tannoy at full-time, Damien Hardwick will have a tough job getting his team back on track, with clashes against Melbourne, the Western Bulldogs, Geelong and Brisbane to come before the bye.

Robbo must be devastated. Only out by 86 points :rollin.

Robbo last night on 360 said Richmond won't win the flag this year.
-
I think he's right too. Thanks SHocking. Killed a dynasty out of spite. I hope the cats never benefit from it.
-
Sue the bastards.... :shh
-
360 will be fun to watch on Monday just to see Robbo with egg on his face again :wallywink.
-
Everyone hopes we fail, that is why its a beautiful thing.
Actually had a hawks supporter wishing we would win tonight.
Bulldogs are an annoying team and supporters

Robbo backtracking in today's HeraldSun.
Pity those fools who question the champs: Robbo
Tom Lynch was dominant and the Tigers made a premiership contender look listless. Mark Robinson says write off Richmond at your peril — himself included.

Robbo last night with his deep analysis of our system :whistle.
Watch here: https://twitter.com/Jpana75/status/1389163633964249090
He also went quite Zen a few moments later wondering how it is that one group of 18 men can dominate so much over another talented group of 18 men.

Robbo's answer to beating us if he was the Cats' coach:
1. Play the first half using Geelong's tactics.
2. Play the second half using Richmond's tactics.

:wallywink :lol

Had to laugh at Montagna being certain that Geelong will beat us tomorrow night because Geelong lost last week while we won :wallywink.

One day the gods will demand justice and Blobbos stomach will climb into his head and strangle his brain in a vain attempt at bringing balance to the universe but alas alack his corpse will still spew anti Richmond bile for years until it rots to a skeleton. But he's not biased, not at all.

Robbo's latest on us:
The Tackle: Robbo's likes, dislikes from Round 8
Not worried because the Tigers will play finals and there's not a team in the competition who will relish September combat against the Punt Rd mob. Still, there has to be questioning at 4-4 whether their dominance is as absolute as previous years. There's no doubt the challengers this year bat deeper than previous seasons, led by Geelong, Melbourne, Port Adelaide, a Brisbane team getting it together, the Bulldogs and maybe even West Coast.
They still might [win the flag] and if they do, they'll probably be crowned the greatest team of all time. But maybe the Cats presented the competition with a psychological reminder that it can't be about how you deal with Richmond's pressure, but how Richmond deals with your pressure.

When you Kings all the paupers want their pound of flesh.
Bring it on.
We may miss this year but we aren't going to disappear.
It's not 1982...

Mark Maclure last night has written us off and said he can't how we can make the top 4.

Hmm not 1982. In terms of longevity then its very much like 82.
WE lost 11 of the premiership players within two yrs and 16 within five years.
The age demographic says to us this is more likely than not to happen again. Next year alone we will have 12 29 plus year olds before a ball is bounced.
When it happens at least this time around we will be well resourced and well run.
