Well yeah what exactly does that mean "Rightly or wrongly"?!!
Journo speak for either ” I made a lucky guess and got it right” -rightly. Or “ I just made *smile* up and *smile* it up and got it badly wrong “ - wrongly. “ I’ll take credit if it turns out true but it’s the clubs fault if it’s wrong”

Eddies little quip to Caro.
” I reckon you’ve been easy on your club in the last 12 months”
Caro…” I don’t think the coach agrees”

what the actual..

Footy media can't live without a Richmondy story. They're all missing us in the finals and need a story!!

"So, Benny, is the Richmond dynasty finally over?" "How's Dimma coping with his new love?" "Any fall out at the club between players?" "Can Jack and Tom play together.....oh wait, sorry that was last year..."

Last year Barrett carried on like a tool about Dustin not doing media, saying it was a disgrace that the biggest name in the game refused to do so!
Gee he's a strange dude.

Barrett is just running out of things. Plain and simple.
The most boring finals series since 1988.
There's a feeling people want this month to finish and plan for next year.
The final cherry on the cake would be if McGowan pulls the plug on the GF.
That would condemn the AFL to the biggest laughing stock in sport administration around the world.

Classic Eddie.
He does the diversion trick better than any magician.

There is nothing to see. Don't look at where Eddie is pointing, all he is doing is playing Caro,s emotions to get a flare up

Is the club divided? Who's on which side?

Well Caro is on one side

And on the other Peggy, Brendon, Neil, the rest of the Board, the playing group, the coaching group, fitness guys and gals, recruitment, IT, Media relations, finance, support staff, sandwich maker, boot studder and strappers. Oh and supporters

Would you give back 80% of the money as well?
Is Dusty giving money back?

He plays sport. No *smile* owns him outside of that.

The media have been complete arseholes towards Richmond, even so-called Richmond supporters like Caro and "Jonny" Ralph. Let alone toilet-lickers like Barrett. They can all get *smile*.

I just don't think the media's sycophancy towards the AFL is doing the game any favours.

I would add that the level of strategic analysis from the media is woeful. In another thread it was mentioned about an event where behind the goal footage was shown and the strategies shown. The football media should be doing this, and if they don't have the expertise (which I doubt) they should get it.

Yeah but 80c out of every dollar he earns from football comes from the media. If everyone said *smile* the media, I'm not talking to them then that money is greatly reduced. Then there's the question of profile building and the extension of other money that flows from that.

It's a symbiotic relationship, the players need the media and the media needs the players.
Does it come from the footy media or the TV networks? Not the same thing.

Led Zeppelin made a fortune by remaining mysterious. It's part of Dusty's brand. He showed the public enough c.2017 for them to realise he's not a monster.
