No, he was there and sort of competed.Pretty sure he didn’t compete.
Really, FM did he run the other way?No, he was there and sort of competed.
when the boys have been brave and lost by narrow margins in two massive games over these last two years.
Yes I remember.So much personal stuff here - very regrettable, and unnecessary, which isn’t worthy of a response.
I seem to recall posting we would make Top 4 and you pulled me up several times saying it wasn’t possible. Telling me to go and do the ladder predictor to convince myself.
The rest is history.
You didn’t learn the lesson, that being positive has no downside.
2 out of 11 in one life time. Yet some people can't believe we may be critical of our club.Relevant to me - since 1967 Richmond's GF win ratio is 7/9.
Ours is 2/11.
Simple, sad fact - cannot be disputed, nothing to do with pessimism or optimism
You notice something funny about your post?Mediocrity? Serious? we played in a prelim lost by four points a year after losing a grand final by five points.
Well, he jogged the right direction.Really, FM did he run the other way?
Yes I remember.
I also remember making a point of accepting I was wrong. You didn't rub it in my face or mention it. I came out and reminded you of how wrong I was.
Being positive is a great thing. And you are very positive about the club. But sometimes positive can be negative. We still have to hold the club to account.
You don't seem to want to accept any criticism of the club.
Overly negative or overly positive, they are both silly.
Do you actually think that the club is not seething about the Prelim result?
Buckley said he wasn’t going to be able to watch the GF as he was not over the Prelim. At the Brownlow Simpson asked him “are you out of the cave yet”, having experienced the same disappointment himself.
Maybe you have seen back slapping and rejoicing at Prelim loss by Eddie and others - I haven’t.
So this idea “we have to hold the club to account”, as if they have been prancing around in self satisfied delirium is a figment of your imagine.
Of course I am disappointed - but the vacuous and hollow rantings here of so many that “we accept mediocrity “ is trite, uninformed and completely without evidence.
Melb is the poster child for accepting mediocrity - Prelim to Wooden spoon contender in 1 season.
You should be a little more respectful towards the club and players you support, and cease with unfounded accusations.
First GF loss I attended was 1960 - kicked 2.2 - lowest score ever in a GF - since then..... - but under no circumstances must you ever raise any criticisms because you will just be a disloyal ***** -2 out of 11 in one life time. Yet some people can't believe we may be critical of our club.
My experience may be a few years shorter than yours.
My youngest memory is the 77 loss to North.
To see Richmond who has been a basket case for two decades come out an win 2 flags in 3 years really hurts.
Talk is cheap, playing for more than one quarter in a prelim would have been be the best response for Collingwood after last year's GF loss, and they failed that.

Successful organisations are brutal in their self appraisal but carry on
Agree with you about the hunger this year and we don't seem to ever come out angry (Taylor Adams seems to be the only one)....and that's what separated Geelong and Hawthorn over St Kilda 10-15 years ago.
St Kilda is what could happen with Collingwood too if the coach stops rewarding these "brave" losses with praise and instead actually challenge his players.
You're dead right that Pies aren't mediocre but coach can't praise a team that played one quarter in a prelim. That 5 goal lead in last year's gf, should be pretty filthy too. Wasn't a one kick loss from Dom Sheed.
Reckon the mental conditioning of the players last few years has fostered in an acceptance of trying is ok. You never hear them talk like Hodge/Scarlett where anything less than a flag is not acceptable.
Can't totally understand some posters are feeling a lot of angst towards the club after this year. Despite making a prelim, the hunger of losing a GF wasn't there from round one.
Yes talk is cheap - I respectfully suggest you get back under the bed because the sky is falling in.
????You notice something funny about your post?
OK - we might well conduct brutal self appraisal but it hasn't yet produced a flag (it might) - Richmond's review of 3 or so years ago has contributed to 2 flagsWhere is your evidence that we lack brutal self appraisal ?
Your dad is quite young and very lucky he hasn't seen worseDont know how people continue to support this club.
I am 25 and have seen 4 grand final losses, 1 drawn and 1 win. That prelim loss honeslty feels like a grand final loss as well
Cant wait for the remainder of my life.... my dad is 58 and he has seen much worse....
