Think Tank Dude, I go for Richmond

[richoatthedisco]

"Dude, you go for Richmond."

It was such a compelling smack-down, an irrefutable rebuttal that rendered all previous statements null and void. It meant: "Your team is unsuccessful, therefore your opinion on football is worthless."

Of course, it was nonsense, but many persisted. But now, the tables have turned. Richmond are the champs, and are so good it is apparently bad for football. Teeth are being gnashed, Geelong supporters are frightened to go to the footy, and the grand final should be best of three, played on the moon, or be decided by rock-paper-scissors, whichever creates the best chance for Richmond to lose.

The non-Richmond-supporting football world is losing its collective mind. Y'all can't cope, much like the teams you support can't cope with our relentless pressure, elite skills, superior strategy, and gut-busting running.

Many of you are bewildered, frightened, disbelieving of the stunning and complete turnaround in the football balance of power. You don't understand the modern game. You bleat that Richmond has a soft draw, or a cheat ground, or gets a free ride with the umps despite having the worst free kick differential in the comp for the second year running. You think Joe Daniher can kick 100, or Christian Petracca is the Next Dusty, or some other ridiculous theory. You're like a mule with a spinning wheel.

Never fear. I am here to help. Using the logic that made "Dude, you go for Richmond" such an infallible put-down, "Dude, I go for Richmond" means "My team is the best, therefore my footy knowledge is superior to all and sundry."

So, friends, this is a safe place. Ask me anything about football and I will give you the answer, and it will be right, because Dude, I go for Richmond.

Enlightenment awaits, friends.

Dude long time admirer first time questioner.
Q/Should all essendon players and coaches try ladyboys?
Thanks for your answer in advance.

 

[Dave Stevens]

Richo, why do Geelong supporters have such a victim mentality?

Rooly? Link?

Peebs, thanks for your question. I think the issue is not whether Essendon players should try ladyboys, but if they are in fact ladyboys themselves. I mean, look at their 'captain':

 

[richoatthedisco]

Richo, why do Geelong supporters have such a victim mentality?

Dave, Geelong supporters are invariably either farmers or meth heads, both of whom think they are entitled to scam something for nothing. They are used to pork-barrelled cheat grounds, father-son gifts and Jimmy Bartel being rewarded for diving. They bleat more than the sheep they know and love so well (and often). They are victims, of their own impotence.

Merkin, it depends where you left it. If that was anywhere within the vicinity of Victoria Park, it has been stripped for parts.

100% Agree Richo.
Following a successful club does indeed mean your knowledge is of the very highest order.
Being a Hawf supporter means my knowledge is sagelike but a touch outdated.

Being fully up to date on current trends please advise if Carlton should relegate themselves to the VFL or just fold altogether?

Why are Richmond supporters so infatuated with Geelong?

Is it a case of monkey off the back after all those years of thrashings and a release of anger and frustration?

Underrated...deserves more likes

What would be the appropriate time to knock down the MCG and extend Punt Road Oval?
Before or after the three-peat?

Neither, Bill. They are too much comedic value right where they are, thank you very much. As a compromise, they should be forced to employ SOS for life.

Nakkers, I think you will find the reverse is the case. I suggest removing head from rectum in order to see things more clearly.

Never, SC. The G is our fortress. Rather than knocked down, it needs to be extended to seat 150,000 so as to accommodate our fans. But you are right, Punt Road Oval needs to be expanded to at least 50,000 capacity so we can host interstate teams like Freo and Norf.

His fashions choices appear as confused as his perception of acceptable behaviour in public places:

Jumper inspired by Richmond
T-shirt inspired by Hawthorn
Track suit pants inspired by Collingwood​

Mmm, I'm not so sure mate. You seem to spend a lot of time mentioning Geelong. That 42-9 record (or there abouts) has taken it's toll on you blokes I think.

Monkey off the back. It does bring me great pleasure that you minnows, even after winning flag, can't let go.

You after your fix?

 

[richoatthedisco]

Hells to the no, but thanks for offering. You keep it, as a Geelong fan you need the escape from reality.

I'm fine thanks, but next time Geelong enter your mind - which is probably the next time you think - you should probably reconsider.

I could here the OPs keyboard from my house.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

I always thought it was "Dude, you go for Melbourne". I don't think anyone ever said "Dude, you go for Richmond" to me.

Gives a whole new meaning to "all aboard the Tiggy Train"

Actually, can you post another version of this pic with the "All Aboard The Tiggy Train" caption?

You should have written your post like this:

"Dude, you go for Richmond."

It was such a compelling smack-down, an irrefutable rebuttal that rendered all previous statements null and void. It meant: "Your team is unsuccessful, therefore your opinion on football is worthless."

Of course, it was nonsense, but many persisted. But now, the tables have turned. Richmond are the champs
