Richmond posters rabid at the North loss, threatening stop supporting the club etc. But they seem to always come back year after year for more of the same.
Meh. 13,000 of us were still turning up at our home games in 2012. Not sure what point of difference you are finding there.

The cows 2 and percentage out of the 8. See how the tiser puts a positive spin on this. And Dangermouse 18 touches, NO tackles and a goal. How many points will he get for the Merv Agars medal?
Now hang on...... How many winces or grimaces did he produce? 3 or 4 means Merv Agars votes for sure and a week long 'leave our patty alone' campaign.

Pardon me for looking too far ahead, but if we can get over Sydney next weekend, our loss to North might be our only loss until the Collingwood game in round 19. We'll beat the Dogs, Crows, Essendon and Melbourne here, and would have to start as hot favourites against Richmond.

Biggest joke of the Freo game was hearing it mentioned that the cows had beaten teams in the 8 recently, as if that was some reason to think they may be any good. Collingwood who are up and down and GCS who, to be truthful, are not anywhere near top 8 material and are set to slide out of the 8 when they play some good teams. We could see Essendon move into the 8 next week if they can beat Melbourne and West Coast can beat the Suns or the cows beat the Roos. Although Melbourne are no pushover and with Jobe Watson likely to miss then they'll have it a bit tougher.

He put on the grimacing equivalent of Chad's mark last night when he copped an elbow in the ribs in the second half. There may have been tears.

Leith Forrest claimed Ken Hinkley's comment in last night's presser about wanting his players to get up when they're hit and not show weakness was a dig at Patty. Apparently every comment made in football is a Freeagentfield point of reference.

No, unfortunately not! Was it as good as the Gotta Getta Gutta ads?
Sandy's Bondza glue ads (Where's me Bondza mate? Not me Bondza mate (at this point picture girl in bikini appearing in Sandy's arms). Me Bondza, mate (at this point imagine tube of glue in Sandy's hand). Horrendous.

Port Magpies, SinCity Swamprats,
Sandy's a buffoon from way back
he's beneath contempt
a worn out, irrelevant relic of by gone days
a mundane,banal and trite twit
obvious despite himself
He emcee's beige conventions
for also rans

he's the froth n bubble man
for mediocracy
n he's not alone
Why does he keep saying "My hat"? Has he lost it?

Well we spent only about 7 years repeating the same crap and the same mistakes over and over again, rather than 30 years of it with no end in sight would be the major point of difference that I see.

By now you have to wonder why their fans expect anything different.

Paul Roos has Melbourne at least doing the basics but I'd bet even he couldn't fix Richmond without starting again almost entirely. Even a jellyfish has some talent but you can't coach it into having a backbone.

Sandy Robert's best work was an R rated interview with the late Ted Whitten, that obviously never made it to air.

Teddy drops both magic words multiple times and then bends over and drops his dacks, it is an absolute scream.

North are expected to win and win comfortably, ergo they'll lose embarrassingly.
Really? I was thinking the opposite. Adelaide playing at home would surely start favourites. Losing to Freo will be dismissed as one of those games. By Wednesday it will be like it never happened.

Their opponent is an even flakier outfit than they are. This is expected to be the week in the crows cycle of life where they bounce back, but they won't. They're not good enough. They looked out on their feet yesterday and the trip to Perth will bite.
