What was it?
We really do have the best supporters in the comp.

Brilliant for the team on the bottom of the ladder, who are as good as Fitzroy of the 60`s, playing the second worst team in the competition, who are from interstate.

I missed the game unfortunately, did the crowd go nuts when JR slotted his 10th,,,he's going to be a terrific drawcard for us Jack...I rememember when Richo first came on the scene and the buzz in the outer as he strode toward FF...I imagine the same awaits JR from now on and he'll swell our crowds with what we know he can do

we ll done:thumbsu:

I tell you what.....it sounded like 60k on the TV. I have said it before and I will say it again......no crowd makes more noise than the RFC army :thumbsu:

I dont want to get ahead of myself, because to many want to knock you down. But if this is what its like after 6 impressive weeks, imagine what it will be like if and when we do a few back to back final years... Holey crap, only the Pies will be in contention for membership and crowd numbers, but they will be slaughtered in passion.

They talk of the so called Sleeping Giant, but has anyone actually stopped to really think of that? No success in 30 years, but what would happen if we won a flag... The mind boggles

It's all about the draw and where we play. I showed in another thread that in the fixtures corresponding to a balanced draw we actually outdrew Essendon in both 2006 and 2008 but were stuck with one game v Collingwood and going to places like York Pk this allowed Essendon appear bigger when in fact we were the slightly bigger draw.

A sucessful Richmond with the draw advantages Collingwood and Essendon get would bust the block. Only Collingwood or a top 4 Essendon could live with a finalling Richmond.
