I agree with everything above except that I don’t really find Daniher “likeable”. Happy to see the back of him. Saad not so much but it’s completely understandable.

Cool, hopefully we can be just as successful as Essendon in surrounding ourselves with former players

I think the umpiring has the been the worst, but the Saints still pretty putrid. Also, loving Cotchin is a lock to play neck week the dirty prick.

Lol, I got temporarily suspended from Twitter for commenting on a friend's post that I wished that Geary had ripped Lynch's head off in that final quarter there. What a joke. Frustrating game, we tried to play a similar style of high risk football but just could not convert to stay with Richmond. Still, the future is looking pretty bright right now which is nice for a change. REALLY hoping for a Port/Lions grand final now, would be a great neutral GF that one.

Cotchin has to go for that tackle; grabbing someone around the neck and slinging them across your hip? I've seen intentionally dangerous looking wrestling moves that are less likely to injure someone.

The problem I have with "It's a big boys contact sport" stuff is related more to what Lynch did. Sure you can expect some bruises, and the occasional accidental neck and above contact. (I am NOT IN ANY WAY condoning Cotchin slinging Jones by the neck. That was a horrible thing, and needless as well, as the ump had blown the whistle for a high contact the second before.) But Lynch intentionally kneeling on a blokes neck whilst he is on the ground is not part of the rough and tumble of a contact sport. It is a coward inflicting pain and injury on a helpless victim. Yet both will get away with it. Bastards.

I've seen intentionally dangerous looking wrestling moves that are less likely to injure someone. The AFL itself set precedence last week with Ben Long, the potential for injury has to be taken into account. Jones could have a broken neck, ripped neck muscles, serious concussion etc.. from that tackle which was actually out of play. Should be two weeks.

legit question, not trying to start poo poo, why do you guys dislike the tigers so much? i'm richmond myself so obviously some level of bias, but i did miss out years and years of afl cos i grew up and studied overseas and only came back to see my team win their first premiership. i understand hating tom lynch cos he's a dirty player but why do people dislike the club so much?

Some dirty and whiny players + coach (Cotch, Lynch, Riewoldt, Vlaustin) and we naturally cop more for being top dog the last few years. Apparently our fans are the worst but I think that's probably just a numbers thing, every team has poo poo fans.

I guess the main thing that surprises me is the idea of Richmond fans as bogan thugs or w/e which wasn't something I ever saw when I lived in aus as a kid, or at least never noticed

Look at that, Cotchin not even cited for his tackle while Lynch will cop a fine for misconduct. 750 dollars literally means loving nothing to a multi-millionaire, just loving ban him for a match so he actually faces a consequence even if it is minor. https://twitter.com/beet_gordon/status/1314508443508568067 This poo poo is why people hate Richmond. Cotchin grabbed a guy around the neck and dropped him onto his hip aka the hardest part of the human body. That has more likelihood to injure someone than Long with his bump. Long deserved to go because he made no attempt to tackle and caught Macrae high, Cotchin grabbed Jones after play had stopped and did that poo poo. Meanwhile Lynch has had four misconduct charges this season and he's still doing the same grubby cuntish things that he's been doing all season.

Theres always going to be a factor of hating on the top dog, same thing happened with Hawthorn a few years back, but Richmond has a history of a lot of dirty players who just do not get pulled up on the poo poo they do. Cotchin genuinely deserves a week for that tackle and Lynch constantly punches/knees opponents off the ball but no one here honestly believes they will get any sort of sanction at all due to being protected by the AFL who prefers "strong spectacles" with high earning teams over integrity. This kind of stuff permeates the rest of the club as well and just makes a lot of the players really unlikable by the general football world.

I'm probably missing some things but: - Lynch punching guys like 4 times this season with no suspensions - Cotchin headlock tackle this week, will probably get no suspension - Grimes obvious staging, gets cited then overturned on appeal - Riewoldt, Grimes, Martin also striking players throughout the season - Hardwick responding to any criticism of the above behaviour with "This is a hard game, we'll play on the edge, etc..." while simultaneously - Complaining about how hard done they are by the umpires (Even though they get very favourable results at the tribunal) - Hardwick denouncing online abuse to his players (good), then insulting David Schwartz for crying (gently caress off) - Hardwick feigning ignorance of his players groping each other, and running away when questioned about it - Coleman-Jones and Stack breaching covid protocols Richmond were a fairly likeable team back when they won in 2017, but the success has obviously gone to their heads and they've become incredibly arrogant and entitled. The players are using dirtier tactics, expecting favourable umpire treatment, and Hardwick has gone full Clarkson.

I would also argue, (and my brother and my niece are richmond fans, so naturally are the exceptions to this rule), that it's not about the feral nature of the fans but the insanity and one-eyed nature of them. Richmond fans, pre premiership, had the reputation of being insane, and from my experience, were always the first to turn on their own, and turn hard and viciously. Also, they had more than 30 years of being poo poo, and then came good. Not good, but great and dominating. So these insane fans with a tendency to turn fast and hard 180, now have success. And as such are one eyed monsters, where Richmond can do nothing wrong, all their players are saints who are better players than everyone else, but also that every mistake is a monstrous tragedy, and a tragedy inflicted on them by everyone else. True, you will find fans of all the other clubs that do everything I said in the paragraph above. But Richmond fans seem to do it more, and worse. Except of course for my brother and his daughter. They are lovely people.
