Dunno. One report said Richo and some other players laughed as the chook manure was being dumped. Knights and Cameron went on to coach. Gale is perhaps the next AFL CEO. Bowden's an MP. Richo, Brown & Gaspar in media. Yeah we won two spoons under Frawley/Wallace, but every other club finished below us at least twice. The club had no money but people still got paid. Membership plateaued under Frawley but increased under Wallace. We'd won 15 of the last 50 when Spud called it quits, but he stayed on for another 9 losses. That was a down time and a mistake in hindsight, but "toxic" is a big call.

Don't think anyone has gone to court claiming the club ruined them. That can't be said about some other clubs.


Robert Walls literally called his experience at Richmond the worst and most toxic football environment he had ever been involved in. And this dude coached Brisbane when they were still the Bears.

Haha, the Wallsy who got Brisbane players to surround a teammate in the boxing ring and take turns beating the *smile* out of him. The Wallsy who complained after getting the sack from Richmond about players not all being the same and how he had to cater to individual idiosyncrasies.

The night of Wallsy's last game when we got pantsed in Adelaide, the players ran amok at the hotel. Yeah we were *smile*, but the players weren't broken up about it!

How was the culture at Carlton the past five years while Wallsy was mentoring Bolton and Carlton couldn't score? While they offloaded a damaged Yarran to us without remorse? While Carlton FC was outscored three years running by offcuts at other clubs?

The unknown of course is how many Tigers fans flipped out and never recovered
Just read throught he boards on here, it's pretty obvious a lot of supporters on here have been to the darkside over their time on here.
A few made it back.
