...the Mothers Day Massacre

http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/6301/newsid/113110/default.aspx

I was there, wasn't expecting much, but quietly optimistic following a good showing against the Dogs at the Western Oval the week before (Terry Keays booted 7 or 8 against the Dogs).

Was supposed to rain all day, but the sun came out after lunch and stayed that way. First quarter was a bit of an arm wrestle, but after that it was all Tiges.

A good Collingwood friend of mine was being cheeky in the week leading in to the game offering me a bet giving me 10 goals in... given that we ended up beating them by 10 goals he's been known as '10-goal Bob' ever since!

Remember being as hungover as f..k ... numerous Chris Mews between mothers day lunch courses ..

... "Shit mum , must have been something i ate"

That was certainly the tonic though as i retired to my bedroom and listened to it on the wireless

Cant wait till we can get into the finals and get rid of the need to remember games that are elevated because the other team had tasted success.

Remember the game well Pete but want to get away from holding on to our wins that successful teams dismiss.

We remember 1995 with more passion than Geelong supporters because they were blown out of the water in thier last game. Glad that didnt happen to us.

Whoops feel like a wet blanket. Maybe you reminded me I have to get in touch with my family this weekend.

And probably the lowest crowd for a Rich v Coll match in 20 years.

 

[peejay]

yeah is was the lowest - 2 years earlier only 16 000 at Vic Park. I was there at that game and we only kicked 4.13 !

It was the lowest crowd since 1950 at Punt road - a game i was not at !

I wanted to go but my Mum said I couldn't because it was Mother's Day.

I was really really dark with her afterwards.
