Hi all ... I hope you and your families are all doing well
I am here today to relate to you a story .... a story well known through the annals of time .... a story of unexpected success followed by expected failure .... a story that defies belief to only ultimately find its true resting place
Yes it's the rise and fall story of Corey Feldmond & Richmond FC .... twins separated by a vast ocean but parallel novels that mirror each other with fairytale beginnings and tortured endings.
Two ugly duckling slightly ******ed wannabees who rose from the ashes of tortuous beginnings only to fall like Icarus in burning flames to settle in the ashes of ******ed full baked mediocrity once more.
And as all fairytales begin it starts with a moustacheoid magical wizard and a book ..... enter Steven Spielberg and the most magical moustachioed wizard of all ... Philip Allison.
From these humble enchanted basement beginnings two ungainly and slightly clownish stars were born with their corresponding fortunes matched in an unearthly timeframe decades apart.
Feldmond found initial unforeseen fame in Speilberg's smash hit the Goonies in 1985 .... Richmond won a fortuitous and unexpected Premiership in 2017
One year later Feldmond (1986) starred in another minor hit Stand by Me but ultimately it fell short in terms of awards and box office success .... Richmond won the minor Premiership (2018) but also ultimately fell short of ultimate success.
Cue1987 & 2019 ...... Feldmond smashes a home run starring in The Lost Boys ... Richmond wins their 2nd Premiership
Then 1988 & 2020 ..... Feldmond now a household name rocking cool headbands co-stars with Corey2 and headlines a huge hit in License to Drive ...... Richmond now a household name rocking cool haircuts co-stars with Covid19 and wins their 3rd Premiership
But with success comes the downfall .... the collapse ... the slow descent into a smouldering, stinking mix of vomit & faeces
Feldmond - Dream a Little Dream, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Meatballs 4, Citizen Toxie: Toxic Avenger 4, pr0n Star: the Legend of Ron Jeremy
Richmond - 12th, 7th, 13th, Wooden Spoon, 2025?? .... Ron Jeremy I fear holds the key
An addendum to this tale of twin cities is the eerie replication of venerated close associates abandoning ship at a time when both Feldmond & Richmond needed their guidance and support .....
Feldmond - River Phoenix / Corey 2 / Wacko Jacko
Richmond - Rioli / Baker / Bolton
Their parallel timelines are spooky in their affinity ... a resemblance like no other .... at one time standing on the shoulder of giants now twerking at the bottom of a cesspool
Then
Now
Of course the future is still be written ..... but .... unfortunately for Richmond .... the future ..... it's not looking good
I hope you enjoyed this tale and I for one look forward to the next chapter
