Update Round 8 requested by Tigers of Old.

 

[jokershoppe]

our ride is more like the tower of death, starts high , but ends up on the ground, leaving us in disbelief

Richmond ain't no rollercoaster....we are THE HOTEL CALIFORNIA

You can check out any time you like, you just can't ever leave

"There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell' "

and

"So I called up the Captain, 'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969'"

and again

"And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'"

followed by

"And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast"

and finally

"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"


Eerie! If only I knew what colitas were!

The next 6 months will be the most fascinating for us members of this famous club hope the new coach brings in a new fitness coach a new football director new assistants trade the dead wood bring in new draft picks who know how to kick a footy and more aggression

I've lost all faith that this will ever make a difference. I think these are skin deep improvements to a very deep problem...

 

[The Mighty Wozman]

I as actually thinking this was more akin to the Hoodoo Gurus song - "Hayride to Hell"...

 

[Tiger74]

I believe this is now being renamed the Richmond Experience

It's a reference to marijuana buds.

It's a reference to marijuana buds.

Thank you. Always wanted to know that.

I always thought it was related to the line in the Beatles classic, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

"The girl with colitis goes by."

But is it though? 25 years vs 75 years of hard nuts, guts, blood and determination. I never saw any of that but 25% of our history is bleak. I'd say it isn't so Richmond

joined vfl/afl 1908 10 premierships had two abysmal periods 1945 to 1966 in this period just 2 finals apperances.

the other period 1983 to 2009 in this period just 2 finals apperances.

101 yrs in the vfl/afl and for 47 of them we have been in the wilderness literally.

No way can I sneak one past you, Geoffry.

Its a Mondegreen. They sing one thing but it sounds like another. Makes a little joke, (very little in this case.)
