Oh no, how could you forget? how could anyone forget gerard banging on and on and on about the "state of the game'. he would whinge and whinge about how the game was becoming unwatchable when we were dominating. he wouldnt directly accuse richmond, but he defintely implied it was richmonds doing. and as soon as we started our decline, and geelong chip chip chipped their way to a boring flag, not a word since about the "state of the game"
i used to think it was bs, that we were the most despised club in the land, but i am absolutely convinced of it now. But they will never admit it, because they will never want to give us the pleasure of knowing that. So they stick to the teams that are "cool and trendy" to hate, like collingwood and carlton and essendon etc etc
They would never want to admit that its actually richmond, but you know what, the flogs dont have to admit it, because you can see it in their squirmy faces when anything positive gets said about us, or you can read it between the lines when they talk about us. Our flags hurt ALOT of people, in the media, at headquarters, and in the outer.
I stayed humble throughout our dynasty, (mainly to not jinx us in any way whatsoever, im superstitious like that) but if we ever get to the top of the mountain again, i will be far from humble, and gerards show on sen will be my first stop. then that korn flogs show
