Now, everytime we lose, these SEN d-heads keep spurting out Cornhead's rubbish on Taz and Hop deals he reckons we effed up on. Derm, like others with brains, reckon to let's WAIT and SEE. These are 7 years for two early/mid 20's players. Not Tarrant type investments that are short term!!!
If they could get rid of BT from calling everyone would be happier about it.
On SEN, the Weasel trying to convince David King to get off the Richmond bandwagon. What a prick.
Virtually called Taranto a failure and will never become a top 5 if he doesn't kick more often. Kingy telling him he can make handballing his strength (as Greg Williams did). The Weasel's just highlighting every bad angle we have.
As certain so-called football experts (affiliated with the AFL payroll master and toe the very questionable and reactive AFL propaganda line – you know who they are!) dance over the perceived grave of the Tigers, there are a couple of things to consider.
1/- What is being exposed every week is the obvious connection between hyped up $#@&*@it that passes for football journalism that is a blight upon the game and most supporters enjoyment of the game today.
2/- The AFL needs to be told in no uncertain terms that the ongoing persecution and slandering of certain footballers is a very dangerous road to go down.
With regards point 2, the RFC needs to have a heart-to-heart with the AFL legal department and tell them to put a clamp on the hysterical, never-ending persecution of certain Richmond players with outlandish character assassinations, that have influenced umpires, the general football public, and more seriously the MRP.
We have laws in this country to protect individuals from defamation, slander and character attacks that impact directly upon a person’s work place and performance, and the prejudices they may experience because of, in this case, the slanderous writing and behaviour of the football media.
It would be very easy for a lawyer to show the outrageous hypocrisy afforded to Tom Lynch whose character is constantly attacked by the same few in the football media, who remain quiet in the face of exact or worse behaviour by other players at other clubs. In legal terms it would not be difficult to mount a defamation case against those football media personalities (they are not journalists!), for the unhinged and deliberately provocative stories and arguments they attack Lynch with on a regular basis.
A quiet word in the appropriate ear in AFL house by the RFC armed with a clear and precise legal argument to protect their players from a biased media is required. Quiet but very firm and you watch the hyena’s back off when they get a tap on the shoulder by a very nervous AFL.

What absolute disgrace.
Where's this for McStay, Hunter, Grundy, Bowes
Where is it? The club should just boycott SEN period.
its the Richmond football club hate squad.
Pinoccio is a dud

Gerard Whateley has spent the entire season to date trolling Richmond players, eg Tom Lynch. He had the cheek to call for Shia Bolton to be suspended for two weeks for ‘ an awful act’. He constantly ignores Geelong players thug acts in particular Paddy Dangerfield. 2020 Grand Final must have cut deep. I will ignore SEN for rest of season.
Do what I do and ignore it forever, they have nothing whatsoever of value
Putting aside the personalities, the fact a commentator is arguing a player we just signed for 7 years can forget about kicking and be a good player handballing makes me sick in the guts.
Did he mention the stkilda punch? The Dangerfield karate kick?
The eye gouge??
It's the 2020 flag that has burnt him baddd.
Why have no nonsense professional calling when you can have 'Oraaaaaziooooo Fantaaaasiaaaaaa'.
If you let the ramblings of commentators affect you so much that you're 'sick in the guts', perhaps you should follow the advice of a few on this forum and stop listening to that drivel.
I have and my life is so much better for it.
More to do with the fact that I think he may well be right about his kicking.
Hyperbole that just needs to be ignored imo.
As a general comment on Taranto I keep on coming back to the fact that it is way too early to be making judgements on these players after a few games. Noone was calling for him to stop kicking at the Giants where he was for 6 years, and whilst his kicking has never been elite it was never subject to the criticism in the past that it is attracting now.
He looks to me to be struggling with the way we play in that it is not yet instinctive to him where his teammate will be when he takes possession, and this causes him to rush kicks. He also seems to have a bit of the yips in front of goal and has also played 3 of his 5 games in pretty ordinary conditions.
Let's see how the season pans out and how his game adapts before we start hanging him.
This issue about his kicking has reached nonsensical levels.
Like Sin said, his kicking attracted way less attention (if any) when he was at GWS and now that he's with us it's suddenly he's the worst kick in the league because Kanye Cornes said so? And King saying that he just concentrate on handballing is just as bonkers.
Yes he needs to tidy it up but the hyperbole around his kicking is reaching all time levels of insanity.
