Prediction Perce Bentley Curse

[Slipps]

I caught i little bit of the talk on SEN the other day talking about the Perce Bentley curse he put on Collingwood i just wanted to know the correct story of it but i heard he said Collingwood will never beat Richmond in a final again and the last time they beat us in a final was 1937 is this right ??

6 finals wins in a row against Collingwood (soon to be 7) and 81 years since we last lost to them in a final. Delicious

Love it !!! Let the curse continue

This 81 years thing is a bit technical for my liking given that, until recently, we had avoided finals for 28 of the last 30 years

Yeah that may be true but does that mean the curse isnt there ?

For the first 16 years I knew my wife, I would hear "Why do we follow Richmond?"

Well, I don't know about that, but it was a pretty shitty way of extending it!

I remember when carlton beat us by 100+ i called my old man after as i was walking out the ground and said why the f**k did u make me support this team... still always stuck with it thou just went through some very tough times

You guys clearly don't know the correct way to support this great club. I am sure you are on the bandwagon with us real Richmond supporters when we are doing well, like now. You are not supposed to stick with Richmond through the hard times though, it is not that kind of club. You get out and expand your horizons at those times, it is why Richmond supporters tend to be so erudite and such well rounded human beings. The trouble with sticking with a club through thin and thin is it encourages failure. So you loyal guys were in fact part of the problem. Don't ever let it happen again.
