Banter Round 4: Richmond vs A team so irrelevant there aren't even any good jokes about them

[Sterge]

Pronunciation: /ˈbantə /
NOUN
[MASS NOUN]

• The playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks:there was much good-natured banter

The rules to keep in mind in this thread:
- Read the definition of banter above, do not cross that line
- If you post in here, prepare to defend yourself, don't cry mod if you don't like your response
- The mods will not get involved unless you cross the line (Brisbane or Richmond supporter)
- What is said in the banter thread stays in the banter thread, you will cop infractions if you take quotes elsewhere
- The thread will be closed once the game begins, the purpose is enjoy the lead up to the game
- Images and gifs are allowed but don't overdo it
- Have some fun, the more outlandish claims the better

And with that, begin

I love how we exported Leppa over to Brisbane with the mission to set back the Lions by 50 years and once his mission accomplished he came back as if nothing happened.

 

[Harris Specter]

Shall we call this the Schache cup?

 

[Ned_Flanders]

The Robert Walls Cup....

You guys beat West Coast (who played one of their worst games in years), fell over the line against a mediocre Collingwood, and beat Carlton. Still not convinced you are that good really (apart from 5 minute patches).

lucky Brisbane are shithouse then

we will be 4 and 0 and haven't played anyone good

So you agree?

Mate when you have accepted your place in the league then calling us shithouse doesn't hurt a bit. Problem with Richmond is that you continually have expectations and then disappoint them. Must be stressful.

Hahaha.

Having ambitions must be stressful?

Accept your place?

This isn't banter, this is counselling.

My god man, get yourself together.

R U Ok?

If we continue to win, I don't care if we are judged as not being any good by all and sundry. I won't even mind if we are the worst AFL premiership side ever to have graced the earth...

We've heard it before. Carlton are crap and we only beat them by 43 points. Melbourne are a top 8 team yet just fall over the line against them. Essendon might be top 4 by many experts and are beaten by the blues.

Collingwood have the best mids in the league yet we get home by a comfortable 19 points. That team beats a desperate Sydbey on their home deck the next week and scared the life out of the reigning premier in the first week.

West Coast are in the premiership window and will be top 4. We also beat them by almost two goals.

So there are many ways to look at it. We can only beat who is put in front of us and so far, we have done just that.

Jeez, have to explain everything. It's not the ambition, it's the disappointment that comes from not meeting it. What I'm saying is I know we are rubbish.

I understand you buddy, but it makes me very worried about your mental state.

I think you should skip the game & go see somebody.

Forget about the footy buddy, it's obviously doing you no favours.

I'm at the 7th stage of grief, acceptance. Rather that than anger as I would probably be an alcoholic after the last couple of seasons.

I love how you have now moved Vickery on to do the same job at Hawthorn. We can all get behind that destruction mission

Fair points.

Every team you've played so far this year have played their worst game of the 3 against you. Don't think that's luck, your tackling pressure is suddenly one of the best in the league. If you can sort out your skill errors with the ball then you'll be flying.

Not sure who you are reading about Essendon though, they are on the 9th line of betting for the Top 4, and Melbourne are on the 8th line for the 8 so I'm not sure they are a Top 8 team just yet. Based on West Coast's performances so far to say they will be in the top 4 is a real stretch too.

Thanks. I was sure we wouldn't have anyone to banter with this week.

Replace leafs with tigers and its exactly the same

I think it's adorable that there are just as many "**** the Leafs" posts as there are #LeafsNation today. Instead of celebrating their own teams successes (or congratulating their team on a good season), they're bagging a team with the most fervent fan base in almost any sport.
It reminds me of the little boy that pushes a girl down in the mud at recess... you don't actually hate us, you just want our attention.

Go Leafs, haters.

5 minutes should be enough.

Should only need the one against you lot - guessing we'll play our 5 minute patch at the start of the 1st quater, leave the ground straight away and get the early flight back to Vic. Final result should come through by the time we touch down, we'll bank the 4 points and if you like we can bring a spare plane ticket for Schache too

This is a banter thread I believe? If you are speaking of the wider footy community outside of this thread then I agree though. I have lived in Toronto for a year and experienced it first hand.

5 minutes should be enough.

Now that's a good one. And unfortunately partially true.

Who's your top 4, other than us?

Sorry, we both must've drifted off into fantasy land there for a minute...

That's what all the ladies say to me

You guys are like a grand final for us so we'll be up and about for it

I'm attending the Gabba on Sunday. I hear that Queensland Rail is a rabble and can't manage to roster any staff on to run the train system. Will any public transport be running this Sunday or will Brisbane be closed for the weekend?

And is the turf all good to go at the Gabba? Hi 5, The Seekers or Colleen Hewitt haven't played a concert for the Queensland faithful on the Gabba recently that may impact the turf before the November 2021 Ashes Test?
