People fear us, that's all it is so they start throwing around crap like that. I'd bet 90% of opposition posters on this board have never know a successful Richmond and how much we were loathed. We didn't give a flying fornicate about anyone but us and destroyed anyone who came in our way. That's going to happen again in the next few years.
I agree... I was born in 1974 and remember 1980 quite well. My dad often tells me about the late 60s and early 70s and how he and his group of mates would go to EVERY game with the belief that they'd win, and that if it was tight at 3 quarter time that we'd simply come out breathing fire and EAT EM ALIVE.

He said that once the club hits its straps again (like it is beginning to) that we will soon be hated again like we were back then.

I think back to the early 2000's when Essendon was hated for being successful, and then everyone loved the Lions when they knocked them off... then Brisbane became hated for being so successful... the old adage that the HUNTER becomes the HUNTED.

I feel that we're in the HUNTER realm at the moment, and the fans can feel it. Opposition fans are already looking forward to us being the HUNTED. Check out the Bay 13 forum to see the Carlton fans already praying that the Dockers knock us off our perch... they're all scared!
