Ill play the game. Lol at people who think he has magically got quicker.
He is slow but plays on the right types.
Had a good yr too But in anyones language he was pretty ordinary most of the time.for all sorts of reasons. Suddenly old assbury had a good yr and hes mysteriously never been poor through his career.Ah well one should not have expected anything different from some around here.

Oh and those doyens at the club prepared to off load him when there was and remains no one else bar himself and rance.
We my well be top 4 but one has to wonder if its by luck or good design.

There yas go that should keep some of you busy for a little while.

Not really, your posts are pretty predictable.

No one makes top 4 by luck.

For someone who doesn't like football nowadays I honestly don't know why you even post, you yourself have admitted even Richmond winning brings no joy.

Never a truer word spoken. Wouldn't expect anything different from somebody that constantly slashing his wrists

Anyone who doesn't like Richmond when we are this buoyant is clearly not a fan of the club. That much is obvious. What more is needed to illustrate troll accounts?

Mopsy actually reminds me of my old man. A good bloke but does not know how to be a real supporter of his club. My dad is a collingwood supporter and he is never ever happy with them, bags their players, their coaches, says wins are luck or not that good, constantly thinks they will be bottom 4.. even when they won the flag, he said "well they wont have the guts or hunger to back it up" never cheers them or anything. The only time I've ever seen him cheer his "team" was when we used to go to Richmond-Collingwood games as a kid and he used to only do that to stir me up and get me involved lol

I wouldn't necessarily call Mopsy a troll, his profile says he has been a member since 2005 and I highly doubt anyone would actually troll for that long. He is just a terrible supporter.

So, in summary.

A bloke who goes for Richmond (but doesn't like them) goes onto a forum exclusively about Richmond and then tells other Richmond supporters how much he doesn't like them.... for 12 years.

And you reckon he's not doing it right?

Be careful he will soon report you to the mods for getting personal and playing the man - He is very very good at this

Maligned due to his inability to stop being accident prone/injured which affected his mobility...

Not really.... a lot of his injuries were sheer bad luck and big blokes need time to get over injuries and don't hit their straps until 25/26. His lack of pace/mobility were a concern of course but a few sunk the boots in Dave pretty early rather than give the guy a decent crack at it. Some high at the club knew his elite marking, astute football brain, quick hands, solid kicking, sound judgement, excellent game reading and spoiling techniques would pay dividends if he had a good run with his body..... just sayin that the 300k a year we were pissin up against the wall is lookin a good investment now. ;)

Makes me wonder about Griff. Similar level of talent. Even worse record of injuries. Do we cut him loose, or work on keeping him healthy and hoping he stays fit and fills that CHF role we desperately need?

Worked with Dave. But concussions are a different thing. Your knee is bung and it's annoying but not that bad. Your head is bung and that is a total disaster.
