Story time with KG
I think back to my Auskick days, there was this poor Richmond kid who got bullied every Saturday morning.
Think it was during the Terry 'I need a 5 year plan' Wallace era from memory.
Being the early 2000s this wasn't just by Hawks or Cats supporters, either. Carlton, North, and even Footscray & St Kilda supporters were having a crack.
Little KG didn't have the ability to stand up to 50 other kids (playground brownie points at stake and all that), but I'm starting to wish I did as time goes by.
That sort of treatment does things to people, and we've got patient zero in here.
It's one of my great regrets in life. Who knows what that kid ended up doing.
I would’ve liked to meet him tbh but alas I was still a toddler.
How long did you play Auskick for before you realised you weren’t gonna make it?

....about 12 minutes.
In all seriousness, made a representative side at 15 or 16 and realised that was about my level, and just studied & partied from there.
Got so much respect for those guys really, to make those mature sacrifices at that age is pretty incredible.
Players deserve all the plaudits they get IMO. They worked harder than any of us did.

The worst story known to man is the "I cOuLd haVe mAdE thE aFL" followed by "...but I injured my knee"
It's a canon event, every guy has said it at some point.

My uncle said something similar regarding some hawks recruiters whilst he was playing a game. He got into a fight during the game and never heard from them again lol.
I may have been a hawks supporter if it wasn’t for that fight. Ironically I’d still probably meet you guys again on BF and be just as annoying, maybe even worse as a hawks supporter hahah

At least he knew early.
My Dad had a mate who was playing 4th division Rugby Union in Adelaide (where NOBODY plays Rugby) at 31 years of age and he still hadn't given up on his dream of playing for the Wallabies.
It's a wholesome story, but it's pretty sad when you think about it lmao.
Four times since 2017. Check yourself.
This post comes with a trigger warning.
Richmond have 2 premierships at the G this century as well. Almost as many as Brisbane.
The shame of not matching Brisbane’s MCG premiership tally this century is only matched by the pride of winning 100% of all Grand Finals ever in Brisbane.
Why just this century? You don’t set the parameters of my enjoyment. The flags Richmond won when I was a kid are still great memories (yes, I’m that old). And I’ll cherish the 2020 flag as much as any. Arguably the flag won in the most trying times.

What’s funny is they think 2007 is modern era. It’s borderline ancient now being almost 20 years old and the game was played totally different.
All time VFL/AFL flags: Geelong 10 v Richmond 13.
All time VFL/AFL straight sets exits from finals: Geelong 7 v Richmond 0
Fmd, they've had their chances the Cats, just can't get it done at finals time. 7 times lost multiple finals without winning one.

Why do you write this like literally any of us are ashamed of it? Who cares
Why are you so proud of so rarely being competitive

None. Just like in Olympics the gold medalist is 1st place, drug cheats get nothing.

Richmond are no longer relevant.
Please stop trying to make it so by bringing Geelong into your football perceptions.
Geelong have been contenders since 2005-present.
Richmond had a nice little 6 year run and it's now time to disappear.
Haha, another 'at least we make it" supporter who is proud of losing finals, the more the merrier.

They must just be desensitised from the losses. I’m a little jealous ngl

Who said I am ‘proud of losing finals’? But I would sure as shit rather have the chance to lose them than not play them.
