Yes I agree, very astute observation although I will say that there is not one Richmond person amongst those groups, Carey has always been the first to say good things about us and Derm likes us but doesn't like us winning all the time. Gerard says we are the unquestionably the best but you get the feeling he is saying that to put the pressure on us and off The Cats. Garry Lyon at least recognises why we are the best even if he doesn't like us and Lloyd just has no idea at all. Roos is pissed that his system is crap compared to ours. Kingy at least is armed with the data and his article on us the other day is the best I have read.spook said:The commentators are split into two groups: those who played (King, Dunstall, Brereton, Roos, Carey, Ling, Mooney, etc.) who give us full credit, and those who barrack (Wankley, Robinson, Clark et al) who can't stand it and look for excuses to cut us down or predict our demise. (Lyon and Lloyd fit more in the latter than the former.) Only one of these groups is worth listening to.

About Richmond - 'if Dustin Martin has been going through the motions this yearr, he will have to do a lot more than that against Jacobs..'
Agree about Maclure, Spook, he couldn't even talk about us last year and this year is very positive. Roos is complimentary at times but I just feel he bristles with his defence first mantra particularly when Browny challenges him, this, I think gets to him because I have had to watch his chip, chip *smile* gameplan for a long time (even Longmire is the same) which didn't really transpose at Melbourne because their home ground is the MCG. No Richmond has come along with a better one he just comes across as salty. I realise this might be just something I am seeing though and might be clouded from being in Sydney too long!!!!spook said:Not sure I agree with you re Roos, Tails. I have been surprised with how positive he is about Richmond these days, ditto Mark Maclure. (Maclure is actually a really good bloke in the flesh.)
