Tall poppy syndrome is a bad trait that many Australians possess, and it's rife in the media.
Classic example here. We're the reigning premiers so this becomes a massive story. Any other club and it's nothing.
I seriously doubt Petty will play. Give him 2 weeks off with the bye, and he should hopefully be ready to come back for Brisbane. We'll need him with all of the Lions talls now back in the side.
Bring May in and give Tomlinson another run at it.
2019 Richmond lost in Round 11, 12 and 13. Bad losses too, 37 points, 67 points and 33 points. They never lost again and won the GF by 89 points.
I'm not saying that'll be us, and I'm not saying everything will be fine, but even the best teams cop losses and lose form.
