Text message received earlier from a TV pal, now Sydney-based, back in Melbourne for the Logie awards:
Just saw a brace of filthy Richmond scrubbers getting boozed up before the game.
It’s good to be home.
I believe the correct collective noun for filthy Richmond scrubbers is a “bartlett”. Other TV awards have already been announced.

- Collective nouns are always a bit of fun, such as a murder of crows or a parliament of owls or a mob of kangaroos.
The is not the first time a football term has been used as a collective noun, though.
Recently noted, and becoming more common in the vernacular, is “An Essendon of arseholes”
