I tried listening to that for a bit of schadefreude but crow supporters are so ******* boring. I barely lasted five minutes. They sounded like they were supremely confident of winning the upcoming funeral
Rance is no good one on one, our small forwards are shit, we have no one in the midfield to stop their midfield and Martin is easily stopped. Nankervis is a shit ruck, Astbury isn't even a defender who will be exposed chasing One of the rangas up a wing. We have no skill and will be exposed easily by their super dooper forward line. Tahlia is also better than Rance.
There is no way we can beat them.
That's pretty much it for the hour.

NUFC, YES.

I survived the Jimi Hendrix Star-Spangled Banner-style rendition of their song, only to hear one guy whose voice sounded exactly like Rucci's and the other one who in a single sentence qualified for a Most South Aussie Accent Ever home Prelim.

I listened for 15mins as I had ironing to do. Every bit of the analysis was completely wrong.

I listened to it and, with the benefit of hindsight, it's hilarious, and arrogant is an understatement. From the resulting game it looks like the crows players listened to it too. ;)

Purely on the strength of this post I've gone back and clicked on the link. Listening now. I have tears.

Hendrix fading into Green Day. Wot.

Also, 'red hot favourites' within the first 60secs.
I know I'm probably tainted with bias but were they ever really red hot faves?
They were certainly favourites, probably not red hot but Richmond were more of a silly chance than a legitimate one.

For comparison I would love to hear the 2007 losing speech.
I was there but I wasn't really paying attention after the game. Tried to find some article or youtube video but the only one with speeches had Tom Harley's speech and Bomber Thompson's speech.

Oh, i burst alright......
Here's my post from the day before the GF. I'm sure you'll agree that I pretty much nailed it. Especially with the 'bukakke' bit.

Don't underestimate the emotional tsunami of Richmond being in their first Grand Final in over 30 years. The fans will be out in force, the AFL will be keen for a Tigers win, the entirety of Melbourne will be behind them and I think they will respond.

There is a lot of pent up energy in Tigerland and it's about to bukakke all over a confident Crows outfit.
