File this under FFS, because this has got to stop - the underselling of the reigning premiers is just the rest of us either looking for hope amongst our own failings or seeking to suppress the inevitable feelings of inadequacy we all know we have. "If they can do it, so can we right? Right?" Wrong, it actually does take talent (and work).
OK we know the Tigers have four A-graders and drop off a cliff from there, but that's the problem, the rest of the list is like most other AFL teams, its just because their top four win so many games for them that the rest of them look crappy in comparison.
So come on people! How do you think they won it last year? No-one took them seriously, we all thought every week was when the bubble would burst, yet every match for the last 10 weeks of 2017 and 4 out of 5 games this year have all played out in the same way - grind, pressure, strangle, wear you down then break you. Ugly but successful.
Richmond are a mirage that never looks real or takes any proper form until you finally cave in and take a look at the scoreboard and realise you're suddenly 6 goals down.
If we dont start taking them seriously, they and their bloody fans are going to get on some new kind of monumental roll and do it all again. I for one don't think I could take that, especially after two Prelim defeats.
Dare I say it. Come on Collingwood FFS.
