The Richmond carry on from Colin Carter's successful book launch is eerily similar to the whole great All-Australian fallout of 2022. You know the one, Tom Hawkins

such was the Tugger carry on, kicked over the post to steer his side to a premature and humiliating finals exit. Does it ever get tiring being made to look the fools?

The Richmond carry on from Colin Carter's successful book launch is eerily similar to the whole great All-Australian fallout of 2022. You know the one, Tom Hawkins taking the AA FF spot ahead of Flynch, taking the captaincy and then steering his side to premiership glory - our 17 flag - while the great Flynch, who you'd be mistaken for thinking was prime Jeremy Cameron such was the Tugger carry on, kicked over the post to steer his side to a premature and humiliating finals exit.

And just like the AA selection it’s only tiggies getting all bent out of shape over it.
Gotta love how deeply we’ve scarred them.

Remind us what your club has achieved since the COVID affected years? Let's be 100% honest, the flags won in those years are the kind you'll pretend are just as worthy as the rest, but deep down you know are scoffed at by the masses.

But then after those long, dark COVID years, football returns to the Mighty MCG, and who may you ask was the first team to taste premiership glory - and we're talking proper premiership glory. Well of course it was Geelong, the greatest team of all. You can actually read all about it in Scott Gullan's latest tome, also a best seller I'm told.

Great article here on Crazy Colin.

'Carter needs to give his misguided premiership crusade a rest.'

Carter needs to give his misguided premiership crusade a rest

The former Geelong president claims he is not out to re-write history, but correct it.

'And in an Orwellian (some might say cynical) twist, he is claiming he is not out to re-write history at all, but instead to correct it – correct something that doesn't need correcting.

At the launch of his new book Football's Forgotten Years last week, Carter passionately reiterated his argument that the premierships won by clubs in the VFA, before breaking away to form the VFL, should be added to their respective premiership tallies.

Sorry. What?

It almost beggars belief, so I'll allow you to read that paragraph again.'

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

No postive news article on the book for over a week.
It's all been forgotton now.
Gil got his offseason clickbait, Colin got some money.
A grubby episode all round.

"Ronny Lerner", a literal nobody who nowhere in his article provides any kind of hint that he's even read the book and resorts purely to emotional diatribe, yet thinks his opinion holds any weight in the matter. This just gets better and better. The opposition is resorting to literal fan blogs now, while the revolution trucks on and continues to gather steam. It's times like these where a peaceful surrender is best for all parties, lest the carnage continue. Vive la révolution!

I'm glad you brought up Tom Hawkins. In fact it's a relief. Now that we've established that Joel Selwood had a disastrous and frankly embarrassing career against Richmond, having not won a single final. Not one. Can you believe it? Surely Tom's record beats that very low bar?

Lol. Righto . Carter has infortunately ruined his reputation in his old demented years.

I'm so glad you're here to white knight little Geelong. God knows they need it. Do you love love love Geelong, or just really really hate Richmond?

Joel Selwood never won a final against Gold Coast either. Why would the four-timer concern himself with such meaningless stats? Sounds a bit minnow-ish to me. It's all about premierships, and Joel snared four of them across a glittering career and went out at the absolute pinnacle of our great sport. OUR captain who led us to our 17th flag.

Still think he's a turd but if it riles up Tuggers it's OK with me.

He didn't play any finals against Gold Coast silly.
He played a few against Richmond though. How many of those did he win? Surely his got to have a less utterly pathetic record than Joel's?

 

[STPer18]

To think this competition has been around since 1870 and no one's done it better or classier than the People's Captain. This is how you bring in your club's 17th.
