Glad you mentioned Vickery since Lynch's performance tonight was strangely reminiscent of him. Particularly the lack of coordination & running to the wrong spot over and over again. :$
It's funny how angry you still are that Lynch agreed to play for Richmond for 1 or 2 million less that the Hawks were offering.
But wouldn't you rather take a pay cut to play for the biggest club in the land that is also currently the best, ratther than some minnow, that was forced to relocate interstate to bludge off the Tasmanian tax payer and gambling addicted pensioners?

He's heavily back-ended so by the time they work out he's useless he'll be soaking up most of their cap (after Dusty & Riewoldt have retired) so they'll be cellar dwellers once again.

If you're going to overpay for a spud expansion team KPF you'd want to hope you can squeeze a flag out of him before in all inevitably comes crashing down.
Dry your tears, Richmond will be a top team for many years to come.

Hang on, aren't you supposed to be one of the better Richmond Bay13 posters mate? This is the kind of rot I'd expect to read in a Crobot post. LIFT.

No AFL identity comes close to the majesty of Jeff in his tailored Hawthorn suits. Unless you could George Pell with his Richmond umbrella lol.
I wouldn't leave my kids with either of them, isnt Jeff an old mate of George.

As dislikable as Jeff was as a politician, I'm pretty sure he never had sex with kids or covered up for those who did. Nor is it a surprise Pell admired him since they're both powerful authoritarians and Melbourne is a small town.

It was mutual admiration, it seems.

I have had a night to gather my thoughts and I'm beginning to agree with all the haters and but-t hurt oppo flogs .....

Tommy after kicking his first 2 last night but then realised he was playing in front of a crowd that was 8 times bigger than he was used too and he shit the bed, by the last quarter in perfect dry night time conditions (I didnt see any Carlton players slipping over) decided to drop some absolute dollys in front of goal because he heard foot steps from that man mountain that is Weitering.

Cannot see any future improvement in Lynchmond this season, he is a fat lazy arse as shown by this mornings cooling off photo

They would be the gift from the umpire who from 3 meters was unable to see Riewoldt clear out two opponents with the knees without getting near the ball, and the gift of the ball landing in his lap off hands when he had failed to make it to the contest?

Impressive shit.

that man mountain that is Weitering kicked "Tommy's" arse from one end of the G to the other.

We are talking about Richmond.

2054 is more realistic.
How did it feel to score even less than R1 last year and we didn't have Rance for the last quarter. Same old Carlton, another season de-railed by 10.30pm on a Thursday night R1.

I knew we were **** ed when Rance went off. The injection of an accountable player who participates in the contest rather than throwing himself on the ground to avoid it - stopped our run dead.
