“Nickleback walks into a bar… there’s no punchline because ruining music isn’t funny”
-Dave Grohl
Richmond supporters haven’t had a lot to laugh about this year for twenty years.
And it gets worse.
Today Richmond posted this on the intertubes…
At this point I should probably disclose that I’d rather hit my dick with a hammer than go to a Nickleback concert, but judging from the comments on Richmond’s Facebook page, it would appear the offer to appease Tiger’s fans for another season of disappointment has fallen flat.
But here I must give credit where credit is due, you don’t spend 20 years aspiring for mediocrity without developing a sense of humour.
Here’s just a few of the responses Richmond supporters left the club…
This is the worst thing to happen to the Richmond football club since jarrad oakley-nicholls was drafted and that was pretty bad.
After 32 years without a flag, playing in only 2 finals series in 20 years, countless draft mistakes, THIS is still the worst decision I’ve seen the club make.
The jokes from my friends about Tambling were getting a bit old so I’m glad you’re giving them new material.
Good lord you even draw the short straw with prizes as a Tigers supporter.
About Craig Little
My heroes are all dead white males, mostly because that seems really attainable for me.
Tiger fans should aim to emulate the Detroit Lions and get Nickelback sacked.
Read the comments: “Why am I signing? Its for the good of the human race.”
“Detroit has suffered enough.”
Is Nickleback a Canadian word for “every song sounds the same”?
“In early 2012, it was confirmed that Chad Kroeger was working with Canadian pop singer Avril Lavigne on her upcoming fifth studio album. The couple later announced their engagement on August 21, 2012″ Just to refresh your memory, Litza…..an album that is worth waiting for….
Tony Tea – outstanding work with that link!
Smokie, Don McLean had it all wrong – August 21, 2012 was the day the music died.
Haven’t we suffered enough?
Fiora instead of Pavlich.
Biddiscomb for the draft pick that became James Kelly.
Stafford for the draft pick that became Ryan O’Keefe I think?
The unmentionable draft Litza refers to above.
Years of ninth.
Then this?
Don’t tell me, Meatloaf is support act, right?
Make that two finals series in 32 years not 20. Yes it is even worse than reported…
Look on the bright side – Tuckie’s signed up for another year.
Tambling, Fiora and now Nickleback??????? What are they thinking at Punt Rd.
Sean, the trade I will forever be thankful for:
Geelong trade Moloney to Melbourne for pick #12.
Richmond trade Ottens to Geelong for picks #12 and #16.
Richmond did what Richmond it did best.
Should read, “Richmond did with picks 12 and 16 what it did best.”
What’s wrong with Nickleback?
But seriously,
apparently Jordy picked up a few tix promising to pay for them…. hasn’t been seen this.
