Yep but there isnt any highlighting or pontificating or shaming for that from the pundits and media heads.
It all shows the agenda below the surface of this comp.
Why are the Tigers being cast as the evil empire, the mean and cheating and cocky and ungracious.
Tigers are well drilled, sportsmanlike, dont whinge in the media or sook to get their way and considerate of modern demands and available.
The Unsociable Hawks were the faves of all time tough mean unsociable but yet praised and loved.
The RFC its like we have overstayed our one season welcome, maybe its because we stopped the Gee Whiz (the AFLs pet project) from winning the flag then backed it up beating another non Vic side.
Yet the Magggots and Geelong and Essendon and Hawthorn get fawned upon and have their *smile* kissed by the AFL and the media.
There is a dead set hatred and anti Richmonsd sentiment permeating every facet of print and visual media its impossible to avoid it.
I still cant explain why, except they eny the RFC and its Army.
I've been around for 6 flags and non-Richmond folk either pity us or hate us.
It's the hate phase now and long may it last!
