Just wondering why we played Port 5 times in Adelaide in a row. Is there an equaliser to this?

I thought the question was going to be "Why if we had 5 wins in a row would the board have some sanity on it?"

I question how the Richmond marbles roll in the S.A. direction every time the even and unbiased AFL draw is done, and how they NEVER seem to land on the G for a return game. Guess we have a bit of bad luck. The draw couldn't be rigged slightly could it, ha? ;)

But back to the 5 wins in a row. If we'd defeated Port... (which we could have with a different attack on the game and a bit better luck injury wise)... would people on this board be so negative about the coaching and club?

If we were 5-1 instead of 4-2 would people be hoping Richmond went bad just to see a couple of kids get a run?

What a difference 1 loss can make. ;D

Go Tiges.

The only good thing is that since we played them there in Round 6, this means a return bout in the MCG in Round 21!

Sorry to disappoint you TF but we only get to have a crack at Port at the Dome. Better than another journey to moron park though.

The draw is meant to even out over a 5 year cycle. It's a joke they we have never got to play Port in Melbourne let alone at the 'G in 5 years :mad:.

There is nothing good about playing Port whether it's in Adelaide, at the G, Mongolia or Addis Ababa TF. While the morons are there, RFC goes nowhere!!!
