What was the BS reason why Richmond after winning a premiership couldn't travel down the highway for our home match?

Just curious because current premiers Melbourne & fellow grand finalist Western Bulldogs, both have trips down the highway next season..



We don't play at VFA grounds. Small clubs like Melbourne and Footscray do.

Collingwood supporters 2018,2019,2020,2021 - "Richmonds membership numbers will all drop off once they dont win a couple of flags. Their supporters are bandwagoners."

Nek minut.....

Richmond memberships 2 Dec 2021 - 72,261 (+5,000 on this time last year).
Collingwood memberships 7 Dec 2021 - 45092. (>10000 down on the same time last year).

Tigers walk the talk, and Pies fans talk then walk.

Minnows. Merge them with Norf.
 
That was Melbourne and Norm Smith all over again.

Although we did recover enough to win the '80 flag. Then of course the morons in charge of the club couldn't make Francis Bourke coach fast enough. Had Tony Jewell been left to coach who knows how it would have turned out.
GR decision making at that time was so erratic , anything but a plan. From coaching appointments to mismanagement of our player payroll that meant stars were paid half of interstate imports all pointed to disaster
 
I despise both Carlton and Essendon almost equally, but unfortunately, I have a feeling Carlton are finally turning the corner, thanks to their new CEO in Brian Cook.

Cook has came out and said Carlton still have a long way to go in their rebuild, and this attitude from Cook is the opposite of what Carlton have been about these past two decades, as I'm sure you would do well to remember the likes of Sticks coming out and talking up Carlton's prospects year after year.

I hope to be proven wrong in regards to Carlton, and I hope they continue to spin their wheels like they've done since winning their 1999 preliminaryship.

Essendon, on the other hand, have done nothing to show they've learned from their hubris over the past two decades, and I don't see how their current side is any different to the sides they've fielded under Knights, Hird and Worsfold over the years, in that they've been mid table sides spinning their wheels who get talked up by the media on a yearly basis, as being a bolter from mid table mediocrity to premiership contender.

Essendon are easy to predict for season 2022, with my prediction being they'll continue to spin their wheels as a middle of the road side, with their ceiling being an 8th placed finish and a first week finals exit, at the hands of the 5th placed side.

Carlton are a bit harder to predict, in my opinion their key forward duo of Curnow and McKay has the potential to dominate and win games, with Cripps, Walsh, Hewitt and Cerra forming what could be a dangerous midfield quartet. However, I don't really rate Voss as a coach, and I hope Voss holds Carlton back from reaching their potential, just as Ratten did a decade ago.

Brian Cook and Mick Malthouse were on the same page at West Coast from when they both joined the Eagles, and it saw a successful decade for West Coast. Similar happened with Brian Cook and Mark Thompson at Geelong, as it saw a successful decade for Geelong. I rate Cook highly, and if anyone is to turn Carlton around, it's him.

Peter Jackson turned Melbourne around from rabble to juggernaut, Brendon Gale turned Richmond around from rabble to juggernaut, and I feel as though Brian Cook is going to turn Carlton from rabble to juggernaut. As I said though, I absolutely despite Carlton and I hope to be proven wrong in regards to them, but I'm not confident they'll remain a rabble for much longer.
They got a heap of talent on that list , if they fail to put it all together and progress they’re simply another GC

Which was the reason Geoff Raines left of course. And that was straight after he was played out of position for the entire 1982 season.
 
I reckon the contract had a fair bit more to do with splitting than position he played
Of course, but him being taken out of the centre for the new highly paid recruit wouldn't have helped matters.

Yes he said as much on an interview with Rhett Bartlett ( I’m sure it was in ROAR about 3 years ago ).
What a massive loss he was .
