Banter Round 7: Richmond vs The umpires pets and an overpaid ruckman

[THE THIN MAN]

Won a few premierships for Venice in the 16th Century,

Always saved the day!

 

[The Original Swooper]

These Bullflog posters are so dumb they can't tell the difference between the banter and preview threads

And lamenting over the attention Bobs knee injury or 300th game received IS relevant ? Not one post has mentioned how you counteract his run from defence, possible match ups etc. just childlike banter about Bob. Hypocritical ?

 

[SunshineBoy]

Better than your finals appearances.

Well I suppose as he is the only player in the history of the game to play 300 games we should all prostrate ourselves to bobs knee

 

[Bald]

Just quickly, shouldn't the title say 'premiership winning overpaid ruckman'?

 

[Sterge]

Just quickly, shouldn't the title say 'premiership winning overpaid ruckman'?

you can say whatever you want on your board, i'm sure Boyd remembers the only decent game he's ever played without needing banter threads to remind him

 

[DroopStDanny]

Pretty sure this song is about Footscray supporters and their little city


I guess ill get sanctioned for this but I reckon its a bloody funny song

Right band, wrong song.

Richmond supporters to their children:

Child: What are your best footy memories?
Tugger: Well son, there were so many. Like having 68k members in 2017. I'll never forget that.
Child: Umm
Tugger: They were great times. Record memberships every year.
Child: But...
Tugger: Large crowds at home games for the first half of every season.
Child: What about the games?
Tugger: We won home and away games every year.
Child: Ok, but do you have a favourite?
Tugger: Probably the game they announced our record membership in 2016. What a day that was.
Child: Did you win?
Tugger: I can't remember. But that's not important, son. It's not whether you win or lose, it's whether a lot of people have paid a sum for them and their pets not to turn up after round 10.

Wake up scruffy,get back scruffy
You flea infested mongrel

That's the difference between a pissant club no one gives a s**t about and a big 4 club

You shittrucks still think there's a "Big 4"? And Richmond is part of it?? Hahaha

How good was this:

First -

THE AFL is set to cut Richmond’s allotment of Friday night matches for next season following its poor, underwhelming 2016 campaign, reports Fairfax Media.

After granting the Tigers six Friday night fixtures this year — in which they lost five of them by an average margin of 45 points — the league is set to reduce that number by as much as three games in 2017.

Instead, clubs who have performed better in 2016, such as the Western Bulldogs, are likely to be rewarded for their 2016 seasons with more games in the prime time slot next year.

Then -

Richmond dismay at missing out on Friday night lights

Richmond boss Brendon Gale has expressed disappointment that the Tigers have been shut out of the coveted Friday night timeslot in 2017.

Fairfax Media had revealed in September that Richmond would be stripped of Friday night fixtures after three appearances in the lucrative spot in 2016.

Grand finalists Sydney and Western Bulldogs got the most Friday night games in 2017, eight and seven apiece.

Well you would be an expert on bitches, which, technically speaking, all female Doggie supporters must be. But it is ungentlemanly for you to bring the subject up - they don't like to be reminded of the fact. They like to believe they have style - doggie style.

Congratulations on not understanding how fixtures work

Congratulations on not understanding how fixtures work

How do they work?

Oh, the AFL doesn't want rubbish teams like Richmond on TV any more...

More importantly, who is in the Big 4??

If Richmond are in it the key criteria must be never winning finals and only being shown on Foxtel, unless you play a team everyone wants to see, like the Bulldogs.

There is no big 4 anymore just teams with fans and minnows like footscray.

Swings and roundabouts with the fixture you are ok for now. At least on foxtel we dont have to deal with rubbish channel 7 commentators

You forgot Mercedes Benz.

Cool subsidy from them!

So much anger, so much jealousy.

These threads have never been the same since Equus stopped giving out likes. It's all his fault.

mercedes benz VANS

thats like bragging that audi is your sponsor when its SEAT

BTW, even with them - YOURE STILL LOSING MONEY AND GETTING CHARITY FFS

grow up and fund your own club

 

[smasha]

Stay calm Tigers just swear in our beers.
Don't want Tigerheads thrown out.

I will read my own message a thousand times before I head out.

Haha come on even someone as clearly envious and enraged by decades of losing as you has to feel like a flog pulling out this minnow/charity nonsense. Richmond only generated 5% more revenue than us last year when you take out all AFL funding.

For the 6 Melbourne home games where we played the same team, Richmond's average crowd was a whopping 5k more. And that was largely due to Collingwood supporters actually turning up to your home game against them, at the G instead of Etihad.

The gap between our clubs in modern on-field success is a lot bigger than the one in modern off-field success.

Putting aside your inevitable onfield implosion, you guys will be in for an awful disappointment this year if comparing club finances is your raison d'etre.

The word at the end of your last sentence should should be respectively, not apiece, apiece would indicate they got the same number, respectively highlights they are in order in relation to the first part of your sentence.

Its called a big 4 becauses its big for propping up financial s**t truck clubs like yours.

5% revenue so about $2.5 mil, and considering a large chunk of the revenue is TV revenue which is distributed, it is a massive difference. Also, a flag winning year isn't representative of normal revenue, the year before you only got $41mil.
