After a lifetime as a Richmond supporter, I find myself at desperation stage for the first time.
In the five years since Terry Wallet took over what has improved? I missed the start of yesterday’s game because of work, and when I was driving through Richmond, keen to get home and watch the box, I knew what had unfolded. I saw many of our supporters leaving the ground and could read the looks on their faces.
Many were contemplating whether Wallet may in fact be alien from a planet where Richmond is hated! Sent from across the galaxy to torment us!
In all seriousness the team I watched through angry eyes yesterday is destined for the bottom end of the ladder with very little hope for recovery.
How do Wallet and Miller sleep at night while they continue to employ Pettifer and Tivendale. While they persist with our ineffectual captain Johnson and Shane Tuck – who both try hard but are not up to it!
But above all else what have they done to our great hope in Deledio? And who what believer in random decisions drafted Tambling (terrible terrible footballer), White, Polak, Schulz and Pattison. I haven’t mentioned JON, Howat, Meyer et al. While they didn’t play yesterday - they are all beyond description!
I now think there is absolutely no light at the end of the tunnel. I think I should spend my Saturday’s at the pub watching something else.
Abe has lost any faith, and it hurts like hell….
