The groping thing is bad but that's obviously a league-wide issue that speaks to pervasive toxicity in male footy clubs. Richmond just exemplified it in those instances. I'm not defending it at all.

Weird Sandwich posted:I'm probably missing some things but: They seem to get kissed on the dick by the umpires a lot too, not just this season but for a few years now. It's verging on a conspiracy theory but I feel like the AFL would prefer they make finals over other clubs because of the big crowds. Also they've had Rance who was also an unlikable staging oval office when he was playing and I feel like they've had a few undeserving AA selections over the last few years.. Finally, I miss all the memes about finishing 9th, the whole thing with making their first final in gently caress knows how long and getting beaten by the 9th placed side after Essendon got booted, microwaving memberships, the pile of manure, Mario from East Doncaster and so on. That stuff was part of AFL lore and I feel like the game has become a sadder spectacle without it.

Damian hardwick is by far the most unlikable coach in the league, he is a thin-skinned hypocritice and should go sit on a fence spike. Also richmond players are dirtier than anyone in the league save for the Green/Mumford combo. Last three players to punch people in the back of the head out of play were all richmond, Lynch, Rance, Conca, and Conca was the only one to ever face remotely appropriate penalties for the poo poo they pulled

I swear Hardwick was actually one of the better coaches personality-wise up to the 2017 win. I can't recall anything lovely from him before then and I liked his pressers and ability to admit faults.

Re: Richmond, don't forget that their success in 2019 had a strong correlation to their fixture having them based in Melbourne for the last 9 weeks of the season and playing away like 4-5 times. It was worse than the usual Collingwood fixture setting. That and they're just a bunch of dirty pricks with a hateable list of players and coach, and a lot of insufferable fans who really don't know anything about the rules. Richmond fans in here are ok as are most supporters even when we do have bants or get heated discussions - Tigers fans on social media though.. Jesus.

Friendly football tribalism is what makes AFL so good a lot of the time, so much history there. The real scum are WCE supporters who harp on about "too many teams!!!#@$!" whilst sitting on their ivory tower in a two horse town, that poo poo makes me livid after seeing how shattering it was coming from a diehard Fitzroy family.

Have seen this posted on the bigfooty rumours forum which is about as reliable as my mates having a yarn at the pub. If it is true however, I hope that it has been left out of the media by way of respect for him and his family. Rare for footy journalism, but would be good to see.

Preuss has requested a trade to GWS. His decision to go to the Dees always confused me since he was never going to get a game unless Gawn was injured.

Everyone else was barracking for Freos first flag. Also, after the game, I drunkenly told my life story to the Australian Consular-General and his wife, and was kissed on the mouth by a Ukranian girl. Fun times.

Extremely funny for someone named Tenisha to be going off at the lowlifes in the western suburbs imo This is a nice little stinger in the foxfooty article too "The Dogs spent 92 days in Queensland without an indiscretion, whereas Richmond has had two, including Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones getting booted from the state after they were evicted from a strip club and involved in a fight outside a Caville Ave kebab shop at 3am."

Here is a completely unrelated thought I just had. You know how Robbie Muir was branded Mad Dog for his acts of aggression, violence and thuggery on the field. Just as there was Chris Lewis, who I remember being painted a violent angry player by the Victorian media, (I seem to remember he spat at somebody), yet has been called a lovely sweet man by all who played with and knew him. Both of these players, and probably a few more were mocked, denigrated, and villified for being "savage thugs". Both of these players are aboriginal. Then you have how the media, and the footy public in general are treating Toby Greene and Tom Lynch etc.. One of which has a conviction for Assault, and the other who has multiple times attacked a helpless opponent on the ground. These players are lauded and commended for playing "tough uncompromising" football, and "taking no prisoners" etc. And if they are criticized, then it is the much gentler "white line fever" that gets applied to them. Both of these players are white. Am I reading too much into it by seeing a racist double standard? Is it a case of "the media landscape/footy public were different back then"?
