This has been an atrocious game of football for mine, Richmond's get it forward at all costs play goes into overdrive in the wet and it's incredibly ugly. Geelong have looked slow of foot and mind.
Richmond pressure and win games of football, but yet I never watch them and think that they play jaw dropping football. They're like Collingwood of 2010.

Incredible run of non-injury helps too.

I’m all against people behaving like a$$holes, particularly at the football. A$$hole isn’t racist.

And there isn’t a call in general for better behaviour. In fact feral booing is encouraged to this day. Just not against Goodes as the enlightened betters got out their racism divining rods and have determined that in that case, and that case only, those dirty racists blossomed in their hatred.

And you so righteously condemn tens of thousands of good people, aside from the classless booing, by looking into their hearts and projecting onto them the racist arguments you can muster up. By Jove, it’s almost as if your willing to condemn large groups of people based on your own views of their value. Self-awareness is in short supply, it seems.
maybe you can come down from your high horse and tell me what was in peoples hearts? Oh wait, you can’t do that. We can only judge people what they do and say. And none of what people did and said at the time married up with facts or is equal in any way to the kind of treatment delivered to any other player, ever. It was totally unprecedented. But yep, it’s because he got off a charge at the tribunal in 2003, or some shit like that, which clearly and unequivocally galvanised supporters across clubs and games to spontaneously boo him 12 years later. But absolutely nothing in any way related to racism even though people were posting on here how much it annoyed them that he pointed out people who vilified him or spoke out on Australia Day.

I have not said everyone who booed is racist. Nor that the booing was only related to race issues. But that level of booing doesn’t happen without it. So regardless of the reason why individuals thought they were booing, the act is tied to racism. You can’t separate and isolate all the issues from each other.

Very beatable.

However they had so many more inside 50s. Their pressure is supreme. They answer every challenge.

God even when they lose, the commentators still all over them like stink

They were pretty average all night and had a good 10 minutes

Wonder when the media will eventually realise that they aren't a good side, and stop beating them up as flag contenders?
