Which is the difference between them and us.

Against the tide here but I don't have a problem with what Cornes said.
It was before 2017. Honestly, who among us would have disagreed? I know I didn't.

On this board there was much angst .... even those who wanted Prestia said pick 6 was too high a price to pay.

They are paid to express their opinion and so it goes public. Ours don't.

I remember the article. Kornes was saying we need to rebuild. Very similar to Matthew Lloyd.

The problems were so obviously coaching and lack of depth. The 12th-oldest team with its stars in their prime (Martin/Rance/Cotchin Riewoldt top 4 in the b&f) does not need to "rebuild". Kornes was talking out of his arse.

He is a self-declared Richmond hater and nothing he says about us can be taken seriously. Even praise.

If you want a laugh have a listen to Bicks, Rowey and Studley Cornes on 5AA earlier this week...… Bicks the voice of reason!

"It's just not fair, dammit!"

Carlton's home ground isn't the MCG you clowns. People in other states tend to view the Victorian clubs as more or less the same. If it wasn't us winning it, some other Victorian club would be copping it.

I am enjoying discussing Richmond this summer with friends. I like to lull them into a warm discussion about their own team's positive prospects. I then ask them about their thoughts about Richmond, which they are generally positive.

I then ask, and what do you think about Tom Lynch? It normally illicets shakes of the head, then they retreat to the corner in a depressed state. Sometimes in the foetal position.

What a great time to be alive.

If I hear again that if Ablett had kicked that goal in the last they would have hit the front I will spew up. Apart from anything else he hasn’t kicked goals from a set shot further than 45 metres out for 2 years now.
The more I see that last half the more it is clear we pantsed them after halftime. We missed 2-3 ourselves in the last quarter and in reality they were lucky to get within 19 points.
In hindsight as soon as we ramped up the pressure and started to run them off their legs it was all over. No one can go with us when we get that game up and running.

Is Ablett training the house down?

He was going to but apparently forgot his walking stick.

LTRTR will no doubt have the detail but next year's Geewhinge list must be close to the oldest in recent memory.

Henderson, Steven, Jenkins, Toohey, Ablett, Taylor, Selwood, Hawkins, Dangerfield all 30 at or soon after the start of next season.

The talk about Jenkins is hysterically funny. Prior to him going to Cartland, they were lining up to bag him, now all of a sudden he’s their version of Tom Lynch.

If ordering dinner in Geelong, I’d love to ask if they‘re able to provide extra salt... with a smile. I wonder how far someone could push it while retaining plausible deniability.

Innocent tone:

Do you mind if we sit outdoors near the beach? We can’t get enough of that salty breeze around here! It’s lovely!

My father has high blood pressure, do you have any specialty salt for him? Anything local?

May I take a couple of these salt packets with me? Thanks... souvenir!

Oh, no salt for us, please - we have a very low tolerance. We came all the way from Richmond.

I’ll let myself out...
