Would you be prepared to say those north teams which were thrashed in prelims under Scott were an embarrassment to the AFL because they were. This Tigers team would wipe the floor with those North teams.
Lol.

2014, sure. But 20-odd points away to West Coast where the umps were ridiculously incompetent (a fact acknowledged by all at the time, not just North fans) is not a thrashing.

And ******* lol at that last suggestion, particularly with regards to 2015. In fact, the Richmond team we beat in the 2015 Elimination final was better than this Richmond team, just unlucky they didn't play in a season which had very few competitive, high quality teams.

No this Rich team is way more even and will be far more competitive.

You are just a bitter North supporter

Let's be real though, that this Richmond team is in the top 4, these Essendon and WC teams are in the top 8 and those Melbourne and St Kilda teams were in the hunt until the final round is a genuine embarrassment to the AFL and a nailed on indicator that the number of genuinely quality teams in the league is at it's lowest point in more than a decade.

This Richmond team would be struggling to get into the 8 if it was playing any time between about 2007 and 2015 and these Essendon, Melbourne and Saints teams would be nowhere near it.

Fans of all those teams should be thankful that they've hit their relatively low peak in a down year.

6 wins in what is supposedly an uncompetitive year.
thats a big rebuild you will be undertaking
The bitterness if/when North miss out on Kelly and Martin will increase massively.

Massive rebuild underway and they've just re-appointed a coach who has only really demonstrated that he can top up (but not successfully).

Difficult times ahead for North.

This is what happens when two new teams are added. As predicted it will take about 5 years for the overall talent of the league is diluted and be felt which is why the northern academies are necessary.

Lucky for us it isn't 2007-2015 then.

Anger? LOL!

We're about to land their best player. And they won't win a final. I almost feel sorry for them.
you have posted a lot of anti Richmond post over the years. You have also been involved in a lot of Roos vs tigers poo fights on bay 13 and on the main board

I'd like to see you back up this false claim. I'm rarely on the bay and almost never post there.

So if that is your belief, how bad is north by comparison? I mean if they nearly end up with the wooden spoon in a year that the quailty is so bad, then they must be in worst place then I originally thought. I understand now why you are being so bitter. Hugs!

Don't ya hate it when somebody resurrects an old post you started way back which embarrasses you and makes you appear a half wit. I hope nobody goes searching through mine ... was a viable question to ask at the time ... the answer is Richmond ^^

Yeah no. Our team was 2 men down that day with Conca playing about his 5th game for the season and Griffiths coming back after about 5+ weeks out.

As much as you want to pump up our team at that time to fit your narrative we were largly propped up by Martin, Lids, Cotch, Rance and Jack playing well. For god sake we had Jake Batchelor, Ty Vickery and Taylor Hunt in that team

That wasn't what you said. You said I was involved in a lot of fights on the Bay. I'm not on the Bay. So clearly you're just making up nonsense.
Have you under any circumstances been involved in Poo fights with richmond fans? Its not a hard question to answer

Keep telling yourself that. With the money we've offered him, winning a flag this year or not won't come into it.

Anyway, I'm sure he'd prefer to play for a club that knows what winning a final in the last 16 years looks like.
Oh Rodney don't you never tire of being wrong with literally every prediction you make?
