PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum

Interesting supportive piece by Rohan Connolly that finishes off with:

But on a larger scale, so, simply, is the opportunity to witness the re-awakening of AFL football’s “sleeping giant”.

A Richmond team which finished the 2008 season full of running, with future superstars such as Brett Deledio, Nathan Foley and Trent Cotchin parading their class around the centre square, now supplemented by one of the best running players the game has seen.

In the modern game, few players alone are capable of transcending an entire team’s fortunes. Judd proved he was one for Carlton last season. His old Eagle mate Cousins could well be another.

Richmond fans will be counting the days until that round one clash. The Tigers’ rivals might be doing so as well, only with more a sense of anxiety, that the feared “Tiger of old” really is about to roar once more.

Could it really be that simple ? Recruit a 30yo Brownlow winner and the entire's club dark days end and the thing McChins has been most scared of finally begin to materialse ? I'd love to look back in 10 years time and say yep, that was the spark that set it all off, but I'm not convinced yet....

I'm trying to stop this being a RBR thread and instead look at the possible implications for the club as a whole. If anyone wants to wet themselves over the actual player, use one of the other 68 threads please.
