was listening to sen in the car on the way home from work last night.

they were taking a call and the caller said that he believed any team was capable of making the GF if they fielded their best side all year to which everyone else agreed.

that is until a brief pause and then someone said "well maybe not one team"

someone else replied "richmond", they all agreed on that too :hihi

now dont get me wrong cause i love the way we are being tainted as REALLY REALLY crap, its great fodder, strange thing is though... i agreed too :o

That's pretty sad isn't it? Although I still reckon Melbourne are going to really struggle, it just shows how far behind everyone we are.

that doesn`t show how far behind we really are,just because of what a few dropkicks on SEN think.
to suggest carlton,melbourne or essendon could make the grand final is ridiculous.

but i`m rapt they are bagging us again.
hope they keep it up.

Hang on a minute, while we are clearly struggling, we do have some company.

If they think that Carlton, Melbourne or Essendon are genuine chances this year, they are KIDDING.

From my early observations it looks like a Geelong v Stkilda final
 
Haha, there's no footy for two weeks and we need something to talk about. Can't weigh up the pros and cons because that sort of discussion won't get peoples' attention; it has to be all black or all white. What can we say that will provoke a response but won't make us look like complete idiots if we're wrong? Richmond's always a good topic.

I heard the same drivel on Friday night and simply changed stations, but TW should make the players listen to this crap for a fortnight so they're ready to literally run through Carlton on March 20.
 
Wouldn't have been too many so called experts that had Richmond finishing 16th last year or Geelong winning the flag or the Kangaroos finishing 4th. Bottom line is no-one knows squat.

If you recall this time last year Freo was the fashionable pick for making the GF, and the Western Bulldogs were flying supposedly

There were enough commentators picking us as last. I remember the outrage and ridicule directed at them from the pages of PRE. Turns out they were right and we were wrong....

Can't believe a season game hasn't been played yet. Reading the pages here and listening to the pundits, we're 6 games into the season and sitting at 0-6....

Many of the experts had Richmond finishing 16th last year.

I heard that and was tempted to ring in and point out it was moronic to think Melbourne and Carlton would make the GF even without injuries. I'd add Essendon to that list as well.
 
No matter what the experts tipped last year....and even what they predict for 2008....it must count for something that everyone is laughing at us. I reckon that sucks......but its very true we just dont have what it takes.

I wonder how long before we stop rebuilding? Even the pyramids didnt take this long
