Stop the bashing
I know like all of you how frustrating the tigers can be. I have year in and year out become so frustrated that I wanted to ignore the fact that i am a true born and bred richmond fan.

But I can only say a true fan accepts the losses and looks forward to the wins and how we celebrate when we do win.

Just imagine that you are one of the players and put yourself in their shoes and see just how frustrated you would be, not winning and then have your fans putting you down that cannot do much for self esteem. So how about we start the year off on a positive and get right behind the mighty tigers and help them roar

I dont bash em, but I will say I feel sorry for my son. He is 7 years old and only picked the Tigers because his old man barracked for them his whole life.

My son holds strong but the crap he copes at school from the other kids is harsh.

So the overpaid players of Tigerland that are year in year out underdown, underprepared and under attack should be big enough to cop the mud, I mean its true what people are saying "Richmond are crap".

Please fella's prove me wrong!

Richmond are not crap !!
Disgraceful comment Daniel - and you say you've been a supporter your whole life, well so have i, and ive copd all that crap that goes along with footy, and losing footy. Ive been a member for 17 years, and yes frustration has been a major thing for tiger fans over the last few years, buh that is no reason to bring them down, yes be dissapionted, you have every right to be, but to slag them off, when u say you are a fan. All you need to do is look at how they have handled themselves , i know we havn't been as successful as we'd all hoped especially last year, buh they went out each and every week, unmaned and did the best they could on that particular day.. Do you think they didnt cop it from every angle - every week.. You shoudl be proud of them for at least getting out there and having a go. Tiger fans are passionate, fearsome, determined and yes we love our club, and when we dont perform we all get upset (me included).

Supporters like you realli annoy me.. You give fuel to everyone else's fire. If u dont believe in your team and you think they r crap, why do u support them then ?
