Here's the thread theme song:
Somewhere in Melbourne there is a knot in every one of Eddie's stomachs. We've been kicking decent scores the last month and cruising towards September, up against the behemoth once touted by Dimsim, House of 'Wick as his best list in his 7 years at the helm, which really says something
If recent history is anything to go by, we'll find a way to lose this. Even if we are traveling pretty well
Let's re-live some Close Encounters of the ninth kind
We all remember Round 23, 2014. Richmond were playing for a spot in the finals, we were playing for literally nothing.
The best on ground votes as provided kindly by a few of Hawthorn's mates:
3. B Deledio (Rich)
2. A Rance (Rich)
1. D Hannebery (Syd)
Those were the best on ground, I nominate this patch of turf as the worst on ground
if i freeze you can actually pinpoint the moment ted's heart ripped in two.
Thanks ANZ
Last time: Round 9-1
With the clock ticking, our superstar forward had provided an outlet on the wing...
...Unfortunately he failed to see Buddy Franklin further to his right and kicked straight to Rance and some schmucks I'm told that work under the moniker of 'Defense'.
Sam Lloyd decided he actually wanted to play footy next year and hit the prolate spheroid-shaped ball through the centre upright posts, achieving a six point score increase for Richmond. GG
Key Players:
No. 9: Trent 'We'll kick into the breeze, please' Cotchin
Slick... quick... elusive... bordering on unseeable - particularly in big games
Although he does have a few elite traits to be fair, his hair first and foremost
that perfect hold, cleaness in the air, great conditioning, immaculate height, can play small or tall
Dustin 'I cut my hair with chopsticks' Martin
Their best midfielder. Known for his 'dont argue' approach... except for with certain female patrons in a restaurant setting. Has been a light in another richmond-esque year
Gary Rohan
Early in the season I admittedly questioned the impact Gaz would have upon his return. But he has come on as we all would hope - kicking goals (a handy four against the good blokes) as well as providing pressure, pace and ginger diversity.
And i think there's only one thing we can thank for his meteoric return - The Rod!
Kurt Tippett
The glorious man-mountain in his sophomoric match in a return from injury. With Crayfish Baesmith exceeding all expectations, Kurt can spend more time in Rance territory clunking marks,kicking sausage rolls and doing forwardy stuff
Speaking of sausage rolls...
Predictions:
There are questions still how we can deal with Richmond's gameplan (below) and honestly we'll probably lose due to a lack of pressure
Swans by 31 points. Hopefully coaxing Hardwick to once again try to call off a game ala that preseason game
