I'd like to see us win the first and second rounds. If we don't win then, meh. After that I could care less.
A Tiger fan called up saying she just wanted us to get through without injury so we're right for when the real stuff starts and she didn't care about the result. Good ol' Tony Shaw chips in and says Richmond can't afford that.
Shaw is an idiot. Who cares about the preseason cup. He seems to have no idea about pacing a teams preparation and peaking at the right time.
Tony, there are 16 clubs in the competition. (Perhaps he can't count to 16). There will be 1 or 2 clubs that will be flying at the start of the season but rarely are they able to maintain the momentum. They are normally the teams that have little chance of being around in September. The really good sides will be competitive because they have the class to win. The majority, like us, will be building up slowly in an attempt to maximise wins through the season and play finals in September.
Sorry Tony, we are no longer cellar dwellers who are desperate for and success we can get. No matter how much you want us to be crap it's just not going to be so. Bad luck for you the RFC actually have a genuine chance of finals this year.
Personally I'd be worried about your blancmange of a team who seems happy with the middle of the ladder and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Here's a prediction for you Tony, Collingwood to miss the 8 this year.
Who gives a stuff anyway, the way Collingwood play they are only there to make up the numbers. Never bad enough to be interesting, never good enough to be successful. You really get the feeling that Collingwood think if they make the finals then that's enough and their year is complete.
Every time he opens his mouth he shows why he was such a bad coach. It is an embarrassment to 3AW that they allow him to speak for them.
