No, youāre spot on. And itās not just a vibe, they talk about it on radio, how seemingly the whole footy world is happy when Richmond are going well. I just canāt take it seriously, they fall down every time, donāt these people ever learn?
Itās the pity following. You feel so bad about a club being so ā ā ā ā for so long you want them to break the duck and do well. Ditto with Western Bulldogs.
I feel like with the Western Bulldogs it came in once they made the GF, or maybe the prelim. With Richmond it comes in round 3. Seriously, I havenāt given up on my team being good this year yet, Iām not going to jump on the Richmond bandwagon.
Yep, guess they have such a large following everyone has a mate that is always down.
Everytime a team gets touted up super early and people jump on the bandwagon I always think about St Kilda releasing a DVD of the time they won 10 in a row at the start of the season. Tigers are yet to play anyone challenging but if they beat Adelaide in Adelaide I think itās fair to start looking at them as a contender.
I will NEVER hope for St Kilda success. My inlaws are rabid, frothing at the mouth supporters. Seeing any football success for them is my kryptonite. I only despise fark Carlton more than this mob. For this reason I was glad Collingwood won the 2010 flag.
Thought maybe Iād watch my first non Essendon game for the season. Between the manufactured rivalry from Channel 7 that I felt like was being scoffed at by Bev and Cameron when asked about it and that ā ā ā ā deliberate out of bounds Iām done. I lasted 5 minutes Iām proud of myself for my first try.
