So what. Let them play Brisbane. If they're not happy with just losing to the Lions in grand finals, they can enjoy also losing to them in Round 1 every year as well.
What pi$$ed me off in this article was Casey's comment below:
"We've had three (round-one) sellouts in a row since 2002 during times when we haven't made the eight - even when we're not travelling well we can still create a blockbuster with our enormous supporter base."
Another case of the administration taking the supporters for granted. Doesnt matter if we lose, our stupid members still pay their memberships, and our supporters will keep turning up. If the dud knew what he was saying, he'd realise that he is suggesting that the only way to get the administration to smarten up is the day members stop taking up memberships, and supporters find something less frustrating to do with their weekends. Until then, doesnt matter if we win 7 games a year, members will keep giving the club their money for them to mismanage.
And to think, Richmond had money problems and they were still throwing money at players like Solomon.
