Robbo is one of many scared the tiger haven't died.
David King *smile* himself that Fremantle might need to play RFC @ the G.
Imagine the fear of the Saints in the open playing in all weather conditions or the Tennis Football club in Brisbane that 6-0 6-0 it when it comes to September.
If we can get our defensive too tighten up.
I reckon we able to destroy the dreams of blokes like King, Dunstall, Lyon, Robbo and little Healy that we are still the best in the comp.
I reckon the doofus Goodwin wouldn't want to play us in September.

Seriously what did we expect??
*The 2ic at the AFL changed the game to stop us.
*We have an extra 3 tormentors playing against us every week. (We lost the game against Adelaide on the back of the umpires. As soon as Baker put us in front the next 6 free kicks all went all to Adelaide.
*The TV media are the first to right us off when we lose, but when we win, they push it back to a non story. Imagine if Collingwood had beaten us. McCrae wouldve been front page. But Degoey wouldve been worth 7mill and Penderbury should consider playing for another 14 yrs.
*The printed media Hearld Sun. Is the biggest Richmond hater out there.
We win a game it's half page news, mostly about how the opposition lost the game.
We lose the game, double page, maybe even front page news. Our Dynasty might be over. I'm pretty sure the Melbourne premiership coach was another coach that left his wife over the last summer, but Hardwick must have bigger balls because his separation is front page news while Goodwin isn't even mentioned.
The *smile* canning gets to me.
Cotchin was brilliant on the weekend.
Not 1 mention. Imagine if Penderbury played like Cotchin?
Cornes the coward bags the *smile* out of our Captain, but we need to tow the line and not fight back. Nakas shouldve said to Cornes.
3 time premiership player, be quite or next time tell it to my face.
Barrett is full of praise this year of us, not sure if he has heard Gale is the next CEO.
Needs to be nice.
Another flag would be the best

Oh East Melbourne!
Some good stuff there Ziggy. The Cotchin point in particular- there is no player in the league that is written off quicker by the football world than Trent Cotchin…. Except Maybe Jack. His game was sensational on the weekend.

I‘m surprised he was sober enough at 4.30pm in the arvo to notice anything

I actually watched this unfold after the game. It was embarrassing- Jones strode towards him like a groupie chasing her crush and whilst Dusty probably saw her coming he never waved her away. He was simply walking in the other direction to shake hands with the Lollingwood players. She then had a hissy fit thinking she was being ignored and went up to Cotchin and asked him to get him. Cotch didn’t help but then she settled on interviewing him. Self entitled Essendrugs mole obviously put in a compliant afterwards. Probably not used to getting a knock back lol
Thats a *smile* post.

Robinson is a typical Essendon supporting flog, it's so obvious that he's jealous of the recent success that Richmond and Dusty have had.
He is sh!t scared at thought we are getting the ducks in a row again, suck it up Robinson.

Great points Dees don’t scare me one bit or lions. We just need to fine tune a bit and bring some new blood to freshen up.

Of all the duplicitous, cynical and semi-conscious things he says in that article, the part that annoys me the most it the suggestion that Martin could have fronted up for a couple of "Dorothy Dixers. Like, what was it like to be back? Any message for the fans?"

Who does that serve? What would be the benefit? What great insight will you get from him saying "Yep, good." "Cheers"?

His message to the fans was there from the first don't argue. You could see what it was like for him to be back when he was mobbed by teammates. Meanwhile, it opens him up to horrible and awkward questions likely to be asked like "Would your Dad be happy... etc."

There's no benefit to answering inane fox footy questions. And there's possible harm in questions that aren't inane.

Robbo should have said what he was actually thinking. "I wish we coulda got Dusty to cry on live TV for the internet points".

*smile* him.

*smile* him completely.
It's not even an article. It's just Likes and Dislikes. Like a kid listing his own. Childish.

Is there a more out of touch journalist in the league then this jabber?
Inability to read the room and understand want the fans want.
It's all about Robbo

Let's see what Jack tells him tomorrow night. Hopefully with a more stern expression rather than his usual friendly one.

First post of yours I’ve ever read……well done. The other 14,000 must have been a complete waste of bandwidth
Im not sure whether you think it is funny, or just makes you feel like more of a man, but calling a reporter who is trying to do her job a groupie and mole reflects more on you then her.

Do u know her? I‘ve actually met her so have some insight. She wouldn‘t give u the time of day.

Just cause she is on TV blonde and female doesn’t mean she can’t be judged just the same as Robbo. Who incidentally is just the messenger for her grievances in this instance.

The Media have written about us so much there is no more stories to write, thats why they want us out of the picture. They want new stories to write, about Diverfields Premiership dream, Bombers drought, Colliwobbles turning it around. Foxtel had a heap of Bomber crap over summer, where was the Tiger stuff, the greatest Team in the current era, nothing... Fook the AFL, Foxtel, the Media.

That will put Dusty straight back in the news. Every service will have to report it.
Then chase him again for another comment

If he comments, it’s news.
If he doesn’t, it’s news

Hey blobbo.. Dusty doesn’t owe YOUR employer anything. Foxfooty paid for the rights to show games of football. Dusty put on a game for YOUR employer. He isn’t obligated to do anything more for you. He is employed by the Richmond Football Club. They pay him big money because that’s what they think he is worth. He has proved over the past 5 years that he is worth whatever they have paid him. The RFC has benefited many times over from their investment. They understood why he needed time away and respected his decision. Why don’t you? While it would be nice for his fans, supporters and members to hear from him, he is under no obligation to talk to us. He owes us nothing. The majority of us respect that. We are satisfied with him doing his talking on the field over 4 quarters on the weekend. You also have a very short selective memory. I still have saved on my Foxtel box, “Nick & Dusty- One on One”. He had no problem talking to your network about footy. You want him to talk about his private life which is for him to decide whether he wants to talk about. How about respecting his wishes and not whine like a stuck pig when you don’t get your way. You might say they would have been innocuous Dorothy Dixer questions about whether it was good to be back but we all know that reporters usually try and get more.
While he doesn’t owe YOUR employer anything, you however do. I’m sure they appreciate you turning up for work seemingly pissed most times or leading such an unhealthy lifestyle that placed you in the situation where you were hospitalised and off work for a lengthy period of time. Do you still turn up pissed at work or just act like you do? I’m sure a lot of YOUR viewers would like you to answer that
Bloody “bottler” Ledge. (y)
