The first bit is a pretty fanciful narrative. Plenty of teams had/have very good down-the-line defences, and general pressure overall. I don't think that was something only Richmond could lay claim to. The second bit, that Scott and Hocking conspired to change the rules to bring about...

I didn't think this was that sort of thread. See something you don't rate? Just shrug and move on. There'll be a better one tomorrow.

Do you honestly think Richmond were better than everyone else at this particular (and absolutely fundamental) skill in the game? Manning the mark. Really? It's not rocket science. 1. Wave your arms around 2. Move "inboard" to cut off passes into the corridor. 3. Wave your arms around...

“Insecure teams”. lol

So you’re saying that the AFL conspired with Geelong Football Club to cheat Richmond FC out of more flags? That’s quite a claim!! Maybe when Scotty said he’d figured out how to beat the Tigers he was referring to the successful strategy of waiting for your best players to decline or retire...

Not obsessed. I just (shamefully) got a kick out of his inane rambling “logic”.

Draft enjoyer? Falcon, is that you?

You chose an arbitrary date range. I chose an arbitrary date range. Simples [emoji5]

Just looked up how many flags the mighty Tiges have won in the AUKUS era. Zero. ***ing no flags. That’s not “all that”.

I don’t know whether Richmond FC have commented on it publicly but boy, do their fans on bigfooty like to bang on about it. Me, I love a conspiracy theory. Tell me more.

What’s this about knocking a player out? That doesn’t sound very fair. I sure hope the scoundrel got his comeuppance!

Did other teams not man the mark before the stand rule? My memory might be failing me but I’d swear I saw players from teams other than Richmond manning the mark. It was quite a common thing, along with kicking, hand-passing, bouncing, running and jumping. Kids were taught it at AusKick.

That’s a lot of gobbledygook. Tell me more about the CFL.

Falcon/Cleany etc still has his knickers in a twist about father/sons and the stand rule. And still wheeling out excuses - “we had injuries” “we had the flu”. Nothing new under the sun.

“we had the flu”. Wahhhhhhh!

Stand Rule!! Wahhhhhhh!

Gilly talking about Rishab Pant - “he goes from zero to 6th gear” Perhaps clumsy more than outright wrong.

Tiggy fans are up and about it seems. Has something happened? Love to see it.

Just call him Cleany already. Tell it like it is [emoji16]

There it is. Thanks buddy.

Yay! After a short lull, this thread is delivering again, albeit with a different thing to whinge about. Please don’t forget the staples: stand-rule, father/sons, having a home ground, real-estate, Jack Bowes, Bailey smith, what am I forgetting?

This is easily my favourite thread on BigFooty. The desperation is very funny. However, I’d like to hear more about the Stewart/Prestia incident, father /sons and non circular playing surface. Lift your game.

Why should the AFL have stopped it? Who was in the wrong? Anybody?

Gold Coast were desperate to get him off their books. Bowes had a contract and was absolutely entitled to stay at Gold Coast. Can you not see how powerless they were in that situation? (A situation of their own making). The very least they could do is help him get to the club of his choice...

I get it. There’s a lot of people sick of Geelong’s constant contending. If I supported another team I’d probably be sick of them too. Maybe I’d even suspect something nefarious was going on. It’s human nature. If you really are convinced though, and you want to get your point across though, I...

Bevo is a “brand ambassador” for one of the bulldogs sponsors. What a scandal! I have to say I’m surprised at the level of outrage coming from doggies supporters. Previously had seemed a fairly level headed bunch. Seem to have lost the plot in recent days.

So… you’re saying we don’t actually NEED evidence then? A Facebook rumour is sufficient?

“Hope Conti”? Do you mean “Monique Conti”? Bragging about your team works better if you actually watch the games.

Your “collective” obsession. Have a look again at the posting the night of the prelim. Thread has probably doubled in size since then. Hilarious stuff.

And yet it was the night of the prelim final when this thread really exploded with tigers rushing in saying “yeah we didn’t win the flag this year but YOU didn’t win it either! Nah nah nah”. That’s your obsession.
