How do you reckon Richmond would be reported on by the media if we had a club where the President was ousted because of concerns he had with the senior coach’s supposed illicit behaviour and his general or social interaction with the players ? How would we be reported upon if we had a senior player belt another senior player in a restaurant and if we had a 4 x best and fairest player also going off track with all sorts of nasty rumours ?
And what about if we combined all of that with the fact we were an arrogant and chippy and sometimes selfish playing group that got bundled out in straight sets from the finals 2 years in a row ?
How would Richmond be reported on by the media or what opinions would they dispense if we had all those issues ?
Wheelbarrow Wilson, Corne and others are continually getting into Richmond about its “culture” and getting stuck into us about one non-story after another, but when it comes to Melbourne it’s all just part and parcel of things.
