odds on that the umps will be hyper vigilant.
watch out for an early free kick to Jack or Tom for holding.
And multiple against Hodge as he attempts to cope with the speed of our game

Robbo must've had the *smile*-da-phone in operation in between swigs on the way to the studio last night. ....

Herald Sun .... Pay walled

"Richmond needs a second flag to cement its place in history or risk being labelled chokers!"

It's an absolute load of crap and a distraction from what's going on at his own club. Putting words in the mouths of Richmond supporters. *smile* you Robbo.

There's always the hope that Brisbane's tactic backfires. The umpires won't want to be used as public pawns.

The old chef-spits-in-the-complainers-food theory

I had the same thought L2.

Our Jack and Big Tom could be in for the night of their lives.

Even if we lose the GF or don't make it, how exactly does this drunken idiot see us as 'chokers'. There's only one definite team of chokers and they're the ones wearing black and white.

Robbo's the only one talking about eras and dynasties. We're just focused on trying to win the next final. Nobody's going to compare us favourably with the Hawthorns and Geelongs even if we win, and I couldn't care less. And we've lost one final out of our last five - being labelled "chokers" isn't something I've thought of, either. We're 3/1; if every 3/1 shot I backed won, I'd buy Robbo's job and turn him out on the street.

It's just a sh!t article, designed to be a lightning rod for criticism, and from the CFW no less. Sh!thouse.

This idiot makes me laugh at how he ALWAYS plays down the Bummers on and off field issues no matter how serious and goes overboard with other teams'.

Not sure how we can be labelled chokers given we have won one flag.

Robbo doesn't seem to understand how tough they are to win.

Last year was a disappointing finish , but how many teams go back to back anyway ? not many , considering we were the reining premiers when we lost the prelim anyway , hardly chokers .

This year we have done remarkably well to get where we are so far given the injuries

I did the numbers once and in rough terms, about half the premiership teams in history have made the Grand FInal the next year, and half of those have won it.
Not earth-shattering statistics but it's about 1 in 4.

Sounds fair , but in our case , most predicted a premiership hangover and an ordinary season so at least we bettered that, we backed up a premiership with some bloody good football , a minor premiership, even if we finished short.

Let’s hope we can get it done this year ,when looking back at this era , this would look pretty impressive overall imo.

2017 , first
2018, third
2019, first

Got the distinct impression that Blobbo and Beaker weren’t happy with Lewis refusing to hitch himself to the Brisbane bandwagon.

It will hurt if we don’t go all the way this year.

I personally think 1 premiership in 3 years will be a bit disappointing now we are in the top 4 for three years running. Last year we could fall back on the “well we got one last year” but that doesn’t work this year.

2 premierships over 3 years would be excellent reward for the form we have shown over that time but it is still bloody hard to win it, even from here.

To lose last year was not choking and to lose again this year is also not choking as we have one in the bag - Robbo is full of it.
