Did Richmond play anyone today?

[The Coon Dog]

Just curious, did Richmond play anyone today?

On the way home I do like to listen to the radio, particularly when we have a win, but today we were never mentioned on MMM, 3AW, SEN or 3LO!!!

It was all Richmond this & Richmond that.

The feral hillbillies who wear flannelet shirts that I'm so fond of were all ringing in to the 4 radio stations sating that they have black & yellow blood coursing through their veins & have been members since Noah came off the Ark & Terry Wallace doesn't have any passion for the club because he wasn't born a Tiger!

Every bloody radio station!!

If it wasn't the feral hillbillies it was the likes on Danny Frawley, Brian Taylor, Brett Montgomery, Dan Lenergan, Grant Thomas, Dermott Brereton, Eddie McGuire, Rex Hunt & Tony Shaw discussing & discerning just how bad Richmond are.

Just when I thought it couldn't degenerate any further Rex Hunt decided to eulogise about 'My beloved Tigers, who are a football club in crisis, & you know the great thing about the Richmond Football club is that ...... it was then that I decided to turn the bloody radio off before I vomited in the car.

Yes, Richmond were shit, yes, Richmond are shit, but for God's sake they just didn't lose by themselves today! They were beaten by the Western Bulldogs! HOW ABOUT SOME BLOODY CREDIT!!!!!!!!! It's not too much to ask, surely?

When did we last win a game and the opposition didnt play bad according to the press?
But thats cool i like the thought of letting us under the radar, stops our players getting big heads and then we keep striving to prove we ARE good!

Haha TCD

I felt the same way almost to the day last year when we beat Essendon by 5 goals

Every call on Triple M was about how Essendon played and where they were going from there its like achem...they lost the game? Against who? Wouldnt of known if you didnt goto the game..

I feel your frustration

Re: Did Richmond play anyone today?

It's the classic problem with talk back radio when a team is under siege. The victim mentality of the callers tends to dominate the discussions. To make matters worse most of our own supporters were more interested in sticking the boots into Richmond than talking up the Dogs performance.

One day a radio station will work out that talk back callers more often than not turn people away from the station. The commentators need to line up more interviews etc after a game rather than throwing the mike open to the supporters of the losing side.
Misery loves company.

You left out Denis Pagan yes he had his two cents. But I'm happy that we got this one and as Ledge said lets keep under the Radar.

Wasn't just me then. Made the same observation in the game day thread. Very annoying.

They played against Richard Tambling, who was too great an adversary for them to beat - set up lots of good Dogs attacks.

Re: Did Richmond play anyone today?

Speaking of Tambling, what was with the Bronx cheers whenever he got the ball? Couldn't work out if it was Dogs' fans doing it, or Richmond.

Re: Did Richmond play anyone today?

To be honest I think the question should be, who did we play today?

Not sure we did anything special. Yes we won, but Richmond surely are the story to come out of today's game. They were terrible, they have no game plan, no players who are early 20's coming through, no players to stamp themseleves on the game bar Richardson and Deliudo and even Deluido won't have an impact because he does not have any support around him.

Feeling was the Dogs barely got out of 2nd gear by the commentators on MMM

Are they now worse than the Dees and Freo?

Re: Did Richmond play anyone today?

But isn't it just great that they're bitchin' & moanin' because of what we did to them?

You gotta love it!!!!

Re: Did Richmond play anyone today?

TCD I was listening to MMM on the drive back and thought the same thing. Had my mobile battery not been flat I would have rang their "talk back" line. I remember the same thing happened in a game against Meblourne last year I think it was Round 2. All Lyon and his cronies could talk about were Melbourne even though we gave them an absoloute hiding!

Re: Did Richmond play anyone today?

Just loved the moron who rang MMM and was whinging the his tigers had not won a flag since 1980.

News Flash - the team who beat you has not won since 1954.

Richmond supporters are just tools.

Clearly you missed Dale's goal


But seriously, I was also annoyed at all the Richmond talk, it wasn't until we were 2 minutes from home (after a 40 odd minute drive in bad traffic) that Eddie McGuire mentioned that they should be paying some more respect to the Dogs as they also played today etc. I guess I can't complain because I don't exactly ring up those stations but it would have been nice to hear from one Dogs fan between the two stations I was flicking between.
