Yes , welcome to the site masochist. I agree with your comments fully , the people that you refer to are part of the problem at Richmond and as much as its true their lack of respect and decency towards some of the players they bag is appalling.
Rogers is past it , but has been a tremendous player for the club and deserves to be spoken of accordingly.
Bowden is having a stinker and I think may rightly be traded.....but I will be sorry to see him go.
Duncan is at the end of his career ...but listening to them you'd think they were talking of and old rag to be thrown away...he is a tiger legend , let it be heard in everything you say.
Richo has got many faults .....but how many could stand the pressure he has been placed under BY US ..an old life member told me in the punt road car park in 93 .."we've found the new Royce Hart "..*smile*...and yet with all that HE has won us many more games than we would of without him....and still no love or decency from these people...
Its good if they think there are players who arent up to what we need, they should say so....but its how they speak of them that makes me feel sick.
I have lost track of the number of times I have heard opposition supporters talk of their disgust at the bagging so many SO CALLED Richmond supporters give to their own players. When we going good we ROAR, we we are going bad we stick it into our own. Great, real great.
As I said in an earlier post I am in awe of anyone who was even considered to be good enough to pull on a Richmond jumper , with th exception of people like Richard Lounder. When I was a kid , we were talking of the opposition when we screamed ...ON VICTORY WE THRIVE , EAT EM ALIVE
