As a Richmond fan who grew up in the 70s, a hatred of Collingwood and Carlton is a given.
But even that is starting to fade.
Was out at a dinner recently with a good mate who's a Geelong fan. First time I'd seen him since the GF.
He said to me "I don't care who wins it next year, I just hope it isn't Richmond. Can't stand their arrogance and the way they got Tom Lynch.".
Company was relatively formal and I was so taken aback that I just let the comment fly. I shouldn't have.
I can understand other fans hating Richmond for many things, but arrogance? After 37 years of incompetence?
And I still wonder about his Tom Lynch comment. Really don't see much difference between us getting Lynch and Geelong getting Dangerfield.
Geelong fast getting to the top of my list.
