They mean their VFL side, right?

Richmond have obviously gutted their social media staff like they have their seniors list. This would have to be one of the worst efforts I have seen for 'funny' engagement in quite some time:
The Tigers genuinely could go winless next year. It’s an expansion team standard list, with a few senior players of which the vast majority are injury prone in Lynch and Hoppers case and or finished in Broad, Prestia, Nankervis and Vlaustins case.
I don’t see them winning 2 games and i reckon they could see upwards of twelve 10 goal plus losses.
They’ll be horrid

Cue the “this is a blight on the game. The competition is so unbalanced when some teams get to play Richmond twice!
We all congratulated them for their draft night, but could they have held Rioli and Baker to their contracts?”
Just wait.
But were they tanking like Hawthorn and Sam Mitchell were!!!
Can’t see the Tiges winning much at all but will be barracking like hell that they can get up over the Blooz in Rd1.
Just imagine..
We can dream!

We'll let them beat us right?
Usually when we lose to the Tiggers during the season we win the flag.

So lose 2 midfielders to rejuvenate a young group and provide opportunity is a form of tanking. What then did Richmond do losing more than 1000 additional games of experience? Can we get someone like Nat to ask him that question essentially with the option to apologise for getting it wrong or call out the tigers far worse tanking behaviour?

To be fair the hyperbola was because they were packing themselves that hawks would get Harley Reid

I listened to the sacked podcast with Trent Croad today. A good listen even if it’s with Jon Ralph who naturally made me misunderstand why the word sack was included in the title. It discussed the saints comeback game from 1999 its well worth 2 hours for any avid hawk especially if you haven’t seen it.

One of my fave 90s games that I went to.
I remember I went with a kid who was staying with us who was from overseas and didn't know the game, and he spent the entire first half giving me shit for how crap we were. Ended up rubbing his face in it a bit...

And the commentary from Peter McKenna and Peter Landry 2 of my all time favourites. The honesty and lack of bullshit like most of todays callers is sorely missed.
I was at that game, I remember at half time having a kick with a friend talking about how we didn't want to go to school on Monday to cop it from saints fans. By 3 quarter time even though we were still behind, we knew we had it won.

They were twisting themselves into knots in order to make the anti-Hawk argument. Hyperbola could apply.

My late mum wanted to leave at half time but there were just enough signs to stay. Imagine if we hadn’t…

I dunno, i remember Everitt kicked a pretty amazing curler before 3Q time and thinking they might hold on.
Almost did it with ease in the end.

I wanted to leave at half time. Walked up and sulked back.
Decided i'll sit somewhere else by myself and the rest was history.

I was there with some friends
We all just sat in absolute silence for the first half, absolutely livid
Started to dissect the game and before we knew it, they ran out for the second half
The second half we certainly made up for our first half silence

I got the bus and it was late so didn't arrive tl 1/4 time. Was tempted to turn around and leave, but it would've been an absolute pain so thought bugger it I may as well stay.
Was it raining as well? It was Waverley, so chances are...
Glad I stayed!

It wasn't raining.... but it was super cold. Freezing.
I was hoarse from all the shouting by the end of the game
