Been a Richmond supporter since I was a kid, (60 now). I prefer League but nothing's better than watching a big game at the MCG, or the G as the locals call it. Melbourne footy fans just seem more parochial, and maybe a bit more crazy.
Tough assessment, his team went out in straight sets, had their chief attacking weapon drop out the morning of the game, he was heartbroken. He didn't offer any excuses for the loss. It's a long bow to call him arrogant based on that.
