GT has been talking up Dal all season, and he hasn't let us down.
IF the saints let him go, I'll too will be dissapointed.
the arguement for and against.
For:
saints will be challenging for a premiership as early as next year and will be dominant for at least 6 to 7 years.
I too, agree that you guys have a bright future, but challenging for a premiership as early as next year.......I haven't laughed so much in my life!!!
You are talking about a club who has 1 solitary premiership to their belt, won when color T.V. was only a dream.
You are talking about a club who's losing culture exceeds every other club in the AFL, including the now extinct Fitzroy.
You are talking about a club that even Richmond has had the wood on in the past 2 decades.
Now, while I agree as a club you have done all the right things as far as recruiting good, talented youngsters, (which is easy to do finishing wooden spooners more often than not), bagging the almighty RFC and talking premierships next year is like saying Anthony Mundine will be the Prime Ministers spokesman - and we all know his 'Australian' ain't that good!
When you guys win another 9 flags, have a supporter base that only rivals 1 other club, have fanatics who would literally commit murder hearing you talk about our 'Prestigous' club, not to mention an atomosphere created by no other - it is then that you have the right to even mention the name RICHMOND on this site.
I am looking forward to a packed Telstra Dome, plenty of atmosphere for Tivva's 100th and Burkies finale, and, with all these 'premiership players' you have at your club, am looking forward to our rabble list, not club, at Richmond to once again put you successless fans back in your place.
Oh, nearly forgot - am also looking forward to seeing Dal Santo in the YELLOW AND BLACK in 2004!!!!
Cheers.
