I think the problems of the past primarily resided with the antiquated coach and players like Tuohy and Henderson who delivered butter.

This was the main reason 2012 was so embarrassing.
Think back to the St. Kilda game where they went after ED curnow and ended his game. Then they smashed Carrazzo, and later on Murphy copped the same treatment.
Do the same to Richmond. Smash the little twerps into the ground!!
Tough to do that when your captain or better players have three opponents working them over and your team-mate in Tuohy or Henderson jogs past with an invisibility cloak on! ACoS and a couple of the younger guys Macreadie, Wettering, Ploiwman and Williamson are rapidly fixing this problem, but good riddance to those piddly players we've "lost"!
We still have a couple of Tarzan's who play like Jane, guys who happily jump all over someone's back but miraculously always find themselves out of the contest when the ball comes in slow and high with them in front. Thankfully, their ranks are rapidly thinning! There is nothing more disheartening for a team than having one of the giants wearing a Tom-Thumb heart!

Who could forget a few years ago when Gibbs started a brawl with the bombers on the siren then Mitch Robinson came into back him up and Bryce jogged off to let him fight them on his own?
Should have traded the man bun back then.

I'm pretty sure that push and shove mainly involved Heppell.
Forget Robbo - the kid doing the Woollies half time oranges would scare young Dyson.

Robinson, how good would it be to have him besides ACoS at the moment giving these kids some cover!
Rhetorically, why did Malthouse kibosh Robinson yet allow players like Didak, Shaw, Swan, Thomas and Beams stay at Collingwood, didn't they all lie to the coach at some stage?

Beams wasnt part of the ratpack, but you can add Tarrant and Ben Johnson......Pies were successful so numpties like those mentioned survived because they had star player status.
Robbo wasnt a star player and we were unsuccessful and the footy dept needed a couple of fall guys to lay blame on...

I just saw footage of the brawl for the first time, not sure why our boys felt the need to lie.

Didn't they break a team curfew!
Hardly a criminal act, like firing a handgun into a vacant factory! : 
But who am I to judge, I must be biased!
