Should have listened to this guy

[dean33]

The media is full of so called experts who really don't know much at all, for example a bloke named Chris McDermott picked the premiers to finish 17th at the start of the year, laughable when you think about it now. However there was one guy who predicted Saturday's result back in march. So I dip my lid to you mr Daniel Flitton.

His article is below and if Daniel is out there, any chance of the first 4 in the Melbourne cup please mate?

I don't remember WBD fans making all these "Told you so" comments and threads last year when they won.

Nobody in Adelaide takes Chris McDermott seriously. He is a grade A moron. Even Andrew Jarman looks like a philosopher compared to that guy.

I'm not saying "I told you so" I'm saying "daniel told you so"

Up there with Stephen Rowe.

Now that I think about it, I can't think of anybody in the SA footy media who I rate. It's a sea of dullards.

There are enough people on Earth with opinions to find someone who picked Richmond 1-18.

Can't wait for the next installment of "X didn't rate our club - what an idiot"

I would be interested to know if it's similar in WA, ex Eagles being employed just to attract parochial viewers who would otherwise be uninterested

Where did Richmond supporters think they would finish at the start of the year?

Honestly? Anywhere from 4th to 10th depending on injuries and a change of game plan. Saying that after rd 3 I was convinced we'd play finals. After we beat stkilda in the last rd I thought we'd go close to winning the flag.

Sorry for the intrusion I know this is a sensitive time, but I don't care

Richmond are the greatest premiership side in the history of the VFL/AFL and the experts are idiots, even my five year old son could see Richmond were going to win the flag this year. Go Tiges!











There, now can these stupid told-you-so self-congratulatory threads stop?

 

[krisholio14]

One-eyed Richmond supporter makes tongue in cheek Premiership prediction, now hailed as a genius.

What a world we live in today!

You should maybe spend the off season in Mallorca, not the bigfooty forums.

By beating a non-finals team you were then a contender for the flag.

I had us just making the 8 and winning 1 final.

I could see the way we were playing, our pressure had lifted, our avenues to goal had increased and it could have been st.kilda, Brisbane, Sydney or Adelaide. Of course people like you kept doubting us after we smashed the cats, then after we smashed the Giants however I'm glad you got to experience first hand us smash your mob on the big day. Maybe you needed to see it live to understand.

Maybe I do indeed. Well said.

Daniel Flitton is the diplomatic editor and a Richmond tragic. He unashamedly admitted he had lost common sense.
