Richmond 2022

[STPer18]

Balta will turn things around for them. But nah, they're beyond cooked.

 

[StonesThrow]

To be fair they came up against a real powerhouse today..

 

[Nostradumbass]

Looks grim
A rebuilding year if the club is thinking along those lines

Delicious.

 

[HaroLad]

you know you are pretty much no chance against the might of the Dees, the new dynasty team

We belted them late last year, and a few mistakes meant they came back. We can easily beat them.

Seethe harder from the bottom part of the ladder - what's it like down there? We've not finished near the bottom in a long, long time.

 

[HaroLad]

Geelong will be the real car crash … coming soon to a cinema near you …

People have been saying that for nearly ten years. Not going to happen.

But if we're not competing for a flag what are we doing? For all of Geelong regular season success over the past 10 years they have nothing of value to show for it.

 

[bluespooner]

They made a mistake by not maximising on the best player in the competition, with Dusty, and should have gone all out last trade period to pick up Tom Mitchell.

* in home & away

The more familiar story is the 83 point preliminary final defeat

How many All Australians does Dustin Martin have again? Not as many as Joel Selwood or Patrick Dangerfield.

 

[Bianconeri]

They won premierships and fell off, not everyone has Geelong’s ability to stay up for no reward.

I think our car crash is a long way away, perhaps to our destriment. I think we are already in the process of a very slow descent.

The poison of it all is that, on the right day, we could still fluke a premiership.

But crash? For whatever reason, perhaps the home ground advantage, I don't think we will.

In 09 and 11, I KNEW we would win it. Haven't had that feeling since.

 

[Tiger2709]

Long years ahead

I would think they will be pretty much the same length as every year, glad to see we still get free rent down at Geelong.

Is it better to die now and get to heaven sooner or spend eternity in purgatory?

I'm just hoping for a quick resurrection.
