I've had a gut full of the Tigers and I'm starting to resent their success. RESENT I SAID. Anyone else?
For a start. All those home games and finals in a row that led to their 2017 flag. The 'GREATEST FLAG IN HISTORY!!!' as a lot of tiger supporters actually believe. Conveniently forgetting we had to win in Perth, and at the MCG (against an MCG tenant) and then in Sydney.......
I despise the fact that Tom Lynch can walk from a wooden spoon basket case to Richmond, who had just won a flag, and who pays??? The teams at the bottom of the ladder all get shunted down the draft order (not complaining about Bailey Smith BTW). But people tear their hair out over the academy system, and even father / sons when it doesn't go their way, at least you have to cough up draft points to get the player........but Tom Lynch walks to Richmond for free and it's meh.........whatever. They gave up nothing. Elite players walking from wooden spoon clubs to premiership clubs FOR NOTHING.......yeah nah....that's ok.
Then Tom Lynch get's off every single time......... a direct forceful punch to the guts.......... meh....he's a big name playing for a big club we need him to keep playing. It's for THE GOOD OF THE CODE. If anyone of us saw that happen in the under 12's we'd be disgusted, but this is what happens when the AFL green lights this kind of gutless cheap shot. and Lynch get's off, Lynch gets off, Lynch get's off........ it's almost like doing the Macarena.
THEN!!!!! Monday night on SEN. You know.......Monday night? The round is over......the hysterics and analysis of the Sunday games has been put to bed. So MONDAY night is the first night where the analysis of the whole round actually happens. The smattering of calls from the die hard supporters from across the league. I loved Monday nights.
Now it's a dedicated Richmond show. 'Tiger time with Jack Riewoldt' he talks about Richmond, interviews OTHER RICHMOND PLAYERS FFS!!! Takes calls from Richmond supporters..........Yeah, really cutting edge journalism there. I want to THROW UP!!!!
The COVID stuff..........well yeah any team could have stuffed up but they, for some reason, got a rolled gold velvet carpet ride from the media on that one............... I mean imagine if that was Collingwood.....or US.
I'm Dancin' Douggy........ AND I'VE HAD A GUT FULL!!!!
