I watched us play Port, then I watched a little bit of Bris/Carlton and switched it off.

Melb Vs Port was a far better game to watch than Bris Vs Carlton.

Not sure about this Essendon Vs Tigers game.

I don't know if it is the level of footy that has lost my interest - or the amount of cans I've had, could go either way there.

The level of stupidity by Richmond players in this game is absolutely... Stupifying. Under 15s could play a more competitive game.

Richmond are a rabble, we've passed the torch by the looks of it.

We helped by giving them Miller, A.Maric and Petterd to go with their spud farm of recruits; Hampson, Chaplain, A.Edwards, Grigg and softy Houli.

Meanwhile Schulz, White and Derickx are killing it at their new clubs, even Nahas has had a small impact at north.

Most of my family and a lot of mates are Tigers supporters so I take a lot of interest, and an immense amount of joy watching the [censored] hit the fan and the microwaves melt the cards.

Cotch can't kick over a jam tin, Riewoldt is a downhill skiing sook.

Imagine how bad they'd be had Martin left.

Richmond and Reiwoldt are a joke

Hope they enjoyed beating up on GWS

Means absolutely nothing

This loss will fuel speculation that Worsfold is waiting in the wings. Dim a is gone I would suggest.

Interesting thought about Wosha, Chook. At this rate, I'd be surprised ih Hardwick sees out the season.

I was staggered at the talk of top four for Richmond this year. Never rated them at any stage. They peaked last year and got found out at the first hurdle in the finals, but convinced themselves their list just needed a top up. Their delusion was rampant and widespread and it has cost them. Time to start over.

I'm looking forward to when we play the bombers in two weeks.

Judging from what I've seen tonight we'll smash them.

Weren't they supposed to be served their notices by the end of May - only about 100 minutes to go.

The Tigers will be really struggling to get anywhere near ninth place. Top 4 - pftt.

I think it was the show cause letters that were due to be distributed by the end of the month. Besides, the way this thing has draged on..and on...and on, you didn't really expect them to stick to a timeline, did you?

Wouldn't matter who coached Richmond, they are rabble.

It has been for years. The supporters run the club and the board and surrounding staff are too [censored] scared to offend them. And when you add to this that the supporters are either drinking champagne because their team is better than anyone or drinking cyanide because they are the worst team in the league, then you have mob rule, and that never works. It especially won't work down Tigger Alley because their supporters are so freakin' unbalanced and unrealistic.

Normally when you point at cultural problems in a club you target players, or coaches or admin. Down that way it's the supporters that harm the club in ways that no other club has managed, and probably won't.

Until that changes they will either be suffocated by unrealistic expectations when they win, or drowned by the vitriol and anger that accompanies losses.

But enough about putting the boot into the RFC in its moment of pain (as fun as that is). I want to talk to that fella that defected from us to go join them when we had our teatime of the soul. What was his name again?

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
