Is there a sadder specimen in the AFL world than the Richmond fan who hasn't accepted his club's contemporary plight?
I know quite a few Richmond fans and every single one of them I pity. Some of them are just general strugglers in life and deserve pity at all times, but some of them are - outside of football - happy, successful people, but when it comes to football, it's just a part of their lives that I don't like talking about.
It is sad.
They genuinely believe that there's an AFL conspiracy against them because of their draw. What they can't seem to comprehend is when you're a crap team your draw is automatically hard as you're worse than 3/4 of the competition.
Lol, see:
Andy D. will be livid with jealousy if we make the 8 going by the draw he gave us.
Have to laugh at you lecturing people on being deluded about their team's chances, no group of supporters are more deluded about their team's chances than North supporters. Maybe the reason you struggled to beat Gold Coast is your team actually isn't as good as you think it is.
What?
North vs. GC definitely wasn't Essendon vs. GC. We kicked 17.25 and completely disrespected GC. We played about ten minutes of decent footy and destroyed them. The rest of the time we were completely sluggish.
