The round one game has been skating on thin ice for years anyway. With a couple of exceptions, usually the game gets built up all Summer long by Tigers fans, KB, and the media, and the game, along with Richmond's hopes for the new year, are usually over by half time.

I for one will miss it.

The deflation from Tigers fans is almost measurable and the now traditional reflective self abuse piece from Caroline Wilson and the subsequent wailing from KB are quite a highlight on the football calendar for me.

Bollocks.

The best R1 game between us 2 has actually been this year. Albeit we had a loss, but in terms of it actually being a good exciting game with an incredible ending, 2013 is far in advance of the other games, Juddy and Cousins debuts also had a great atmosphere, but crap game.
