tigersnake said:played a year too long. Should have been tapped on the shoulder
I've posted this before. When they stay a year too long the farewell tour is for the opposition fans. They get a chance to laugh and boo at an old tormentor and he doesn't have the game to shut them up anymore.
Watching Goodes get stripped of the ball repeatedly during that hectic final quarter was sad for him but very reassuring for Richmond fans who knew that the ball was in good hands pretty much every time he (briefly) touched it.
