The Sleeping Giant's Are Out Of Their Coma!
May 29th 2010.
Richmond 77
Port Adelaide 30.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves and start to assume we will win more and more. We will still lose a lot, but thats ok!
Because this team is not our next premiership team, but I'll be damned if Cotchin, Martin, Deledio & Riewoldt are not our next premiership players. Throw in Angus Graham (who I say sorry too - for ever doubting you!!) and Nason, Connors and maybe even Newman if we get lucky enough.
This win felt different to me. Did it feel different to you? This win felt like, yeah we won, it wasn't bullshit basketball tactics, it wasn't an average win, it was a ****ing awesome win, it was the start of our club earning back its respect.
2001 - Semi-Final Richmond Vs. Carlton, I was 11 at that point and my god that was a glorious victory, but for some reason, I thought we were lucky that Kouta got his knee destroyed and I knew Brisbane would eat us the next week.
Ever since then, it has been just hope, I've been hoping for success, I have been hoping for wins without really seeing the improvement before my very eyes.
Danny Frawley recruited guys like Paul Hudson. Terry Wallace recruited guys like Jordan McMahon. Although they drafted, I never really saw any improvement, I saw no development from anyone, if we didn't have a ready made player, he was never going to be a gem. Kane Johnson, Nathan Brown...they weren't Richmond...they were good, but they were Adelaide and Footscray.
DIMMA is my hero. Thanks to him we are finally making our own

My god, these kids are everywhere, Nason at pick 71. Griffiths is a machine, Cotchin, Martin...
Then you got these other guys, guys I really did not rate and never thought they could really ever be consistant. Yet somehow they are. Riewoldt, Gus Graham and Daniel Connors.
Then Tuck and Deledio reinvent themselves.
All this and we are losing!
I know the losses hurt, but these losses have hurt the least of them all as a 15 year Richmond supporter. Because we are going somewhere...this time, we really are.
The only difference with this win is that the media and the AFL will see that we are going places too.
The sleeping giant is waking...it has taken 30 years but when he wakes, it will be our moment Richmond faithful, so lets enjoy our road to the holy grail, cause we are finally on the right track! (and I'm a little drunk...)





Oh and **** YOU TERRY WALLACE & GREG MILLER - ***** take back McMahon with you, media whore.
