It seems every year Bitchmond get to be on top of the ladder for a day or so and every year the supporters and commentators get ahead of themselves for a week or so. They don’t seem to learn.
I like a good laugh at Richmond as much as the next man, but geez that was some kind of game from Martin. Have to see how it goes against better opposition.
Yeap and even when Rance was not getting the ball early, the commentators switched to “awww stats aren’t everything you know & it’s what he does without/off the ball that makes him elite”…cough"bullshit"cough, made me want to throw up.
Rance did get beaten in a few one on one by young Weitering, Rance had a pretty quiet night. The commentators still raved on about how good he is though. Not that he is a bad player, but he is most certainly over rated. The dirty prick smashed Weitering off the ball early in the game too. Weitering showed a fair bit up fwd actually.
I thought young Silvagni played very well, and will be a very good player.
But with all this said I must add the most important part to this post
“Fark Carlton”
I don’t know what the Rance love quotient was with the 7 com’s, … but the ABC blokes hardly mentioned him, and when they did, it was hardly in glowing terms in the main.
In a weird weird way, I hope he has a good couple of years at the doggies (but not against us of course). May be had so much pressure put on him with the “Cloke” name at Collingwood??
