You know what gets me with the Lynch comments about him not earning a premiership with us?

The guy was coming off a PCL injury, not as bad as an ACL but still a decent injury, he played 25 freaking games off a PCL injury, he was our lead goal scorer in a premiership year, he was kicking goals when he was playing a lone hand in the forward line in the first half of the year, at least half of his goals last year came in the second half of the year and was a huge part of the reason we didn’t lose at all after the bye, he came top 5 in our b & f in a premiership year which was his first year at Richmond, he kicked 30 points in a 40 point turnaround in the preliminary final to get us into the grand final, he kept GWS second defender busy while Jack was kicking 5 goals in the grand final! The guy more than did his dues and he more than earns that’s premiership! Opposition supporters are assholes!
the colour is GREEN, Lynch deserved every bit the win. More so than some whos form coasted through the year.
 
The hypocrisy within the football community is astounding. I just saw a promotional video advocating against online abuse, hate and discrimination on the AFL facebook page. And you can bet your bottom dollar that the comments on it called out "golden boy coach and player who believe sniping is ok". These people are so blinded by their hatred for us that they can't even recognise they are the ones that the AFL is calling out.
 
Fair play to both Schwartz and Dimma imo.

Lynch is being a bit of a tool lately, let's be honest, but coach also has to stand up to comments like that.
 
Hardwick should apologise and not the media?

Gagf

All loved Robinson “talking from the heart”

Now when Dimma does it,they want to throw him under a bus.

Double standards by the media.

Great summary but we don't need to justify anything, no one is laughing at Richmond anymore, instead they need to find cracks now as there's nothing like seeing giants fall. Australians have been great at this for generations aka tall poppy.

And this kind of thinking is why society as a whole is f’ed. Too many people use Mental Health as a shield or an excuse from criticism. It happens in the legal system with perpetrators getting lesser sentences, and now is happening in the media.

If David Schwarz is really so mentally fragile that he cannot handle a sledge in relation to FOOTBALL that happened 20 years ago, he needs to get out of the media.

Seriously.
Ox doesn’t have a problem with it. It’s white knights being outraged on his behalf
 
Poor choice of words question Lynch courage.

He consistently has plodders trying to kamakazi them self at him without getting near the ball - stands under it while getting punched in the back of the head ...

This brings back memories of the absolute storm over Bachar in 2017. Could really galvanise us at the right time.

Racist underbelly plus tigers hate

Savage recipe

Prime minister got involved
 
There's such a thing as a proportionate response. Schwarz called Lynch 'Goose of the year' and 'not tough' for hitting Sam Collins. Hardwich used the oldest toxic masculinity trick in the book by taunting a guy for showing emotion. I don't think seeing his dad get murdered at the age of eight was really Schwarz's decision, was it?

From the outside looking in, Hardwick was more than welcome to call Schwarz whatever he liked. A sh*t broadcaster, an overrated player, soft, whatever - but he went the low road.

As said before, disappointing given what happened with Tuck a few weeks back and Richmond's strong support led by Benny Gale, who is a class act.

Tulip you’ve been quiet since the whole “grab him by the throat” part of his comment came out.

Glad our mods didn’t delete your lecture and hope you can see there are two sides to every story.
 
I just don't get the logic of some people wanting to dig in so hard with Lynch.

I have mates that think he's the scum of the Earth, yet were very quick to defend Kobe Bryant when I told them he was a rapist.
but kobe throw ball in net well and also gives millions in out of court settlements cos he totally didnt do it
 
An old fashioned smoke bomb by dimma to deflect the heat on his players and route it his way. Ox Ned’s to own his stupid comments , he made it pretty clear you’re not tough unless you got a reputation for knocking players out , so don’t pretend to be something your not . His actions were tit for tat stupid shit , however his courage can’t be questioned , Ross,Lyon and Lloyd summed it up well
 
Fair play to both Schwartz and Dimma imo.

Your kidding surely? He isn't at all.

Not sure anyone would appreciate the treatment lynch cops week in week out. Constantly niggled, pinched, punched, shoved, bumbed and all game, every game.
Come on, the guy is getting frustrated, that doesn't make him a tool or a thug or a w***er or the goose of the year.
