But the big issue is really Richmond's unsociable playing style.
Media once again silent on the real issues (CRIMINAL issues).
I watched the 2019 redemption video, and I wonder whether the tigers playing in the MCG cauldron with 80,000 cheering fans is part of the entertainment of the tigers. Lose that spectacle, and the tigers in-your-face playing style comes more into focus.
Can't wait for big games at the MCG again next year (hopefully) - we will be again at our feral best!
Been following footy for well over 50 years n there is one factor that you can always guarantee in the game. The dominant teams of any time and era are always " in your face ". It simply goes with the territory. Hawforn, Geelol, Brisvegas, Essendrugs, #lolnorf, Colonwood, Carlscum, Wet Coke, Sydaknee, Tigers. Generation after generation the dominant team or two of any era have that unsociable in your face strut n swagger that puts opposition teams on the back foot n raises the hackles of supporters.
The pretenders n up n comers often try to bring it up to the big boys but can barely maintain it for more than the occasional game or two. Brisvegas n Pordadalayde against us this finals series being prime examples.
I would be very disappointed if the club do not follow up on these incidents with the AFL. Not now, because we have bigger fish to fry, but the media have lost their way with personal attacks and the habit of blowing up incidents way out of proportion. It has become a sport among"journalists" and footy "celebrities" to outdo each other with clickbait sensationalism.
Then, you get a small proportion of people who have no brains and decide to become stupid vigilantes.
Solution: Introduce protocols to stop the rot and suspend/ fine the "journalists" and "celebrities" who break the established code.
I assume the media are all over this and calling out the disgusting behaviour by Geelong fans (yeah, I know, no proof, but that never stops the media having a go at our club, our team and our fans).
If we win I hope someone comes out and cites the media click bait beat-ups and how this is the effect of the media choosing to sensationalise everything for their own gain.

You can’t smash someone in the neck/gead ith a stiff elbow to take them out of a Grand Final in the first quarter and not get a lengthy suspension.
It’s as simple as that. I was scared he might be paralysed.
Straight arm when punching the ball, bent elbow when contact was made
Two actions. After the ball was gone he raised the elbow.
In his defence it all happened pretty quick and I wouldn't normally consider him a dirty player, but if the AFL are fair dinkum he has to get suspended. Anyway, that circus will play out separately.
My concern is for Nick's well being. He's had a few head knocks. I hope he has no lasting effects.
