Hey mate, here's a dynamite "Anti-Richmond hero" nomination- Alan Bond.

In 1987, Richmond were near death. The board considered moves to Adelaide, Tasmania, & other relocations/mergers, & even removing the membership nature of the club.

Board members Finley & Robertson were Bond men. There were 16 legal cases against the club & 2 wind-up orders, the club only survived due to a $250,000 contribution from Alan Bond.

Yes, Richmond made Bond President in '86 (not elected), & he even tried to have Richmond play 11 games a year in Brisbane without any vote by the Board, or the members



In no small measure due to Bond's shenanigans further destabilising Richmond, they finished last in '87, behind the Brisbane Bears - only their second spoon in 70 years - & nailed down the most embarrassing statement of all time.

The only reason they still exist, is because of Alan Bond :D

Thanks Biff

Very generous words from you as always Biff.

Sucks that you're a Mod - we (the Bay) don't get nearly enough of your high quality material such as the Holy Handbag thread these days.

Whats up Biff? Happy with Neeld? Looks determined

G-day mate, how are ya? I'm just wondering how I can find out my password. I had it written down on a piece of paper with a old email ad, that I no longer use. I never used it cas firefox always remembered it. I plan to completly upgrade my computer. An cannot find the pass or email. Is there any way to get my password an update my email? Thanks for your help.

keep handing out those red cards mate LOL

must be a good feeling crushing flog after flog

He always runs, while others walk.

He acts, while other men just talk.

They call him the winner who takes all.

And he strikes, like THUNDERBALL!

You're doing a good job Biff - hopefully the muppets give it a rest sooner rather than later. The novelty will wear off soon mate. Looking forward to the club hopefully picking up multiple future stars with the compensation, and at least now there is no uncertainty anymore and the club get back to more important business.

Go Dees!

Thanks Biff...you guys treat me better then my so called lions supporters on their board

Sorry about today & losing $cu££y. I won't post in the Mel suuporters only thread cause I'm not one but if I could I'd say this re Melboune's presser.....you didn't stoop to $cu££y's level by bagging out the kid, chucking tantrums but being professional about it, I'd also let him go to the B&F to watch his team mates & their speeches, listen to the fans who turn up talk about their disappointment and MAKE him listen to Jimmy knowing he lied to his face and ran out when it was the easy way out when Jimmy keeps trying his best for the club despite what he's going through (you do know how he's going do you?)

Don't get mad get f**** even

My suggestion would be to just email this clip to them when dishing out the card: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr6nDfUwQW0

best of luck!

And so another Tiger has decided upon oblivion, Comrade! Understandable though... supporting Richmond would drive even the most stoic of fans to consider it after a while.

My compliments on your marksmanship once again...



And another one gone, another one gone... another one bites the dust, hey, hey!

Hey, I'm gonna get you too, another one bites the dust!

Too bad - was looking forward to some scathing inbred comments aimed at SA. Til next time.

C'mon dude! I'm getting itchy teeth waiting for your Port preview - I need my fix!

Standards people.

mention ticker again on our board and it's holiday time

Morton saved himself from being in the Fugly this week by virtue of two good passes. His complete inability to impose himself physically on the contest - from lack of ticker - is disgraceful.


Your lack of consistency as a so called "moderator" is quite fugly

Here's a representation of what happened to that particular pesky bugger, in the fashion of "Anchorman"...

And here it is in Python form...

Just provided a graphical representation of your bowling on the Official Preview thread mate. Perfect delivery it was. And yes, he was obviously out. The umpire's decision was an easy one there

Check out my 'mental image' of you in that thread on the Hell board mate, you'll get a good kick out of it! And the posts I've just made at the bottom of your preview thread for this week.

A high distinction for the Bowfinger reference. I LOVE that movie! Also the part where Richo started beating himself up. The Pythons would be proud of you if they knew...

Haha nice- though methinks the reference will be 100% lost on all who entered the slaughter!

thanks mate, it was good to see a few more numbers around it than previous weeks... maybe people could sniff an unlikely win?

My pleasure. Good stuff like that keeps me coming back to this site.

Cheers Biff
