Team of 22 year olds is GWS, I'm guessing?

We were a month younger and 10 games less experienced than their side.

Do high salt levels cause mental illness?

In fairness, that entire thread is comedy gold when looked at from a post-2017 perspective!

Contains classics like...

Overachieved and led people to believe that players like Cotchin and Martin are A graders when they simply aren't.

(The two Brownlow medalists aren't considered A grade? Okay then...)

I called it 7 years ago. Richmond were behind Carlton then and would remain behind Carlton with that list. Carlton have had the sensibility to rebuild. Richmond extended Dimmas contract.

To which add this from a Carlton supporter:

We're actually ahead of them now

Hardwick and buckley between them couldnt get Hawthorn into the 8.

(Oh, yeah? How did Clarkson go with that in 2017? :p)

Hey, Priddis is a Brownlow Medallist.

Cotchin isn't.

If a week's a long time in football, then a year is more or less forever!
 
And just to add...

The other interesting thing about that thread is the number of Norf nuffies jumping on the "sledge Richmond" bandwagon.

Norf supporters are seriously mentally deranged when it comes to Richmond. They were salty even in the middle of 2016 when we were absolutely attrocious, no wonder they've collapsed mentally after we won the flag.

They do love to hate the Tiges!!!

I've noticed this over the years. People get anxious when they've been able to safely crap on a team forever but now it seems like they're being overtaken.

When Richmond made finals in 2013, Carlton, Essendon, and North were all around the middle of the table, so there was a lot of argy-bargy about who was on the up and who was destined to crash down the ladder. Being Worse Than Richmond was unimaginable to those people so they refused to accept it was happening.

First Carlton dropped off in 2014-5. We don't really hear much from Carlton supporters any more, because they can't bear the pain of having to deal with a clearly successful Richmond.

Essendon were overtaken by current events, and left in no condition to argue with anyone.

Melbourne entered the fray occasionally, because we were both down the bottom of the ladder at the same time for a while, but there have only been brief periods where the Dees have looked on our level, so things are quiet there.

But North! North have hung on longer than everyone else, making prelims and even beating us in a final. So they have been able to cling to the belief that they will never be Worse Than Richmond. But now here it is; it's finally happened, and it's undeniable. They've fallen and we're on top. So they now face the same existential crisis that supporters of other clubs have gone through.
 
Tower of the Salted Burgundians

When Aigues-Mortes was retaken by the French after a period of Burgundian occupation, the Burgundians were massacred and their bodies dumped in this corner tower, salted for hygiene.
That's probably where they'll find Josh Jenkins!!

It was an even season which anyone could have won yet we destroyed the other top three sides in succession by 51 , 36 and 48 points in the most dominant series since 2000.

At least get within 6 goals flogoids before making random excuses between your tears. . It was not an even season at all. Richmond were far superior.

Has anyone found Tex Walker yet? Last anyone say him he was staring at Richmond players just before the GF started.

I had an inlaw tell me that on Christmas day. A hawks fan of all things. He said you only have a few days left to enjoy your premiership. FFS we are premiers until someone else wins one (after our 3 peat).

Someone else is going to win one?

I'm confused...that makes no sense.
