I miss when the benchmark teams were skill based sides.
I miss when premier teams actually played an aesthetically pleasing version of the sport. This ‘chaos’ ball Richmond play is pure trash and I’m glad the AFL has introduced rules specifically to stamp it out. Absolute dog shit to look at.I miss when the benchmark teams were skill based sides.
Have we been here before something about this seems familiar.......
Y'know how most years the Reigning Premiers carry an aura of invincibility & everyone secretly dreads playing them? I'm not getting that from Richmond.
We played them two weeks ago and it was like "yeah, this an alright side and whoa that tattooed bogan's actually trying I thought he only did that in September!?" but the aura -if they ever had it- was completely gone and I kept wondering how the competition ever became weak enough to allow this team to go B2B - any side that gifts Daniel Rioli games ain't fielding much competition for spots.
So I looked up who they brought into the team this week:
IN: Jack Ross, Rhyan Mansell, Will Martyn, Bachar Houli
Then I scratched my head & wondered... "Surely Richmond's list can't that weak? This team just went B2B, it must be loaded with stars!"
Well here's what the top 10 of Richmond's 2020 B&F revealed:
1. Jayden Short — 53 votes
2. Dustin Martin — 50
3. Nick Vlastuin — 49
4. Shai Bolton — 44
5. Kamdyn McIntosh — 43
6. Liam Baker — 42
7. Dylan Grimes — 41
8. Noah Balta — 40
9. Kane Lambert — 39
10. Trent Cotchin — 37
Oh dear.... I count ONE solitary star in that list, along with a henpecked 'Brownlow Medalist' who kicked into the wind.
Are they handing out free AFL Premierships in Kinder Surprises these days or is the rest of the comp gifting Richmond cups out of sympathy for 30 years of comedy, and if so how will we endure St.Kilda's impending B2B2B2B2B2B2B2B2B2B2B2B?
I'm getting more of a Vietnam Swans vibe.2017 Bulldogs feel about them
If you consider that Geelong are the reigning runner-up's, Richmond by comparison look like the greatest most in-form reigning premiers ever..

Finished watching Making Their Mark on Amazon and Brooke needs to keep her crotch gremlins under control. But I dare say that's Trent's job.Dimma preaches to his playing group to stay "Hungry and Humble".
While cheating on his wife, living a second life, looking his wife and children in the eye and lying to them, putting the needs of his floozy before his family, frolicking with his homewrecker on the Gold Coast while the wife slaves away at home raising the kids, running them to school, cooking their food, cleaning the house.
That's the Richmond way I suppose when you look at all the off field incidents last year.
Fish rots at the head.
Thanks dude.Welcome back
