At least the season hasn’t been wasted

12 August, 2007 5:33 pm by Geoff

There has been very few occasions to celebrate this season. But if we’ve managed to cost Collingwood either their spot in the top 4, or even better: their spot in the top 8 then at least we can know that this season hasn’t been a complete waste of time. Deledio has kicked 5 goals and in a rare moment of actually trying something from Terry Wallace: we threw Polak forward at the opening bounce and the only man holding the tigers together at the moment (Nathan Foley – what a star) delivered to him beautifully.

You’d take a win over Collingwood as fair trade for three wins of other sides.
A rare moment of joy in a horrific car-crash of a season.
GO TIGES!

    I’d say it would be worth maybe even four. Though I’d have to say beating the Eagles or Dockers is better because I have to put up with their feral fans all year round.

    Polak is starting to kick straight…so someone at Richmond is doing something right. I reckon Wallace outcoached Malthouse on Friday with some inspired moves…and Richmond played four quarters.

    Can Richmond PLEASE win next week??

    In a word Mark: No.

    This guy gets what it’s all about:

    “All year, something had been missing. But hereabouts, definitions are important. And, as any Richmond fan can tell you, the definition of a successful season is not one in which you make the finals. It is a season in which you beat Collingwood. To beat Carlton and Essendon as well constitutes a super season. “

    Now we’ve just got to take care of Essendon and the season would be complete.

    Not-top-4 playing Sydney in an elimination final. I’d like to see that.
