Jimmy Bartel did today. Said Tex can't talk about success as he hasn't achieved any. Whack! ;D
Actually, it's all starting to backfire on Walker. People in Adelaide now openly questioning whether he's fit to remain captain given his "juvenile" outburst towards Lever.

Honestly, his performance was crap. Bad day at the office, it happens.
His post-game speech was garbage. I can forgive that because he was upset and I wanted hit ugly face to FO the stage.
But even commenting at all on Lever is seriously poor. This is a time when you go the cliches and pretend you don't mine, kind of like how coaches pretend they haven't seen footage of their own players punching blokes on the field and can't comment on whether or not is warrants suspension.
Seriously all jokes aside I don't think Tex should be captain of that club. Guy is a genuine thug, finger-pointer and sore loser.

Agree with this. In isolation they aren't terrible acts (excluding the Lever one - I think that's poor no matter the circumstances) but the bloke is just spiraling

Crows fans don't like you recalling the fact that in 1997 they controversially got to play Geelong in a home semi-final despite the Cats finishing above them on the ladder. It was thanks to a quirk in the rules with Geelong (2nd) losing to reigning premiers North (7th) and Adelaide (4th) beating the 5th side in the first week of the finals that year. Then add Geelong's Leigh Colbert being denied a clear mark and shot on goal. Nah, no whinging about home-town umpiring :whistle.
Then in the following year (1998), the Crows finished 5th and were flogged by Melbourne (4th) in the first week of the finals. Now days if you finish 5th and lose your out (as we learnt twice the hard way :P ), but Adelaide got a second chance, again thanks to the rules of the day, and went on to win the back-to-back flags.

not sure if this is consistent with anyone else on here, but i am finding the loud mouth carlton supporters a little less loud these days?
I was tagged in a carlton group discussing the upcoming round 1 fixture between our 2 clubs, to which i replied with a photo of grigg holding the cup.
needless to say it didnt go down well. So here is the thing if you are going to dish it you fools and tag me in your pathetic clubs sites then expect to cop it

Yeah my Carlton mates are a particular brand of smug. Not sure why, theyve been utter garbage for 20 years now. Only one of them reached out to me after our win. Have more than once been reminded of the '13 elim loss, as if that trumps the flag??
One in particular patronisingly predicted we'd miss the 8 and the Blues would finish above us.
Cant wait till we pump them by 8+ in 5 months timw while the entire country warches.

It’s that misplaced cockiness that supporter bases of rebuilding clubs have early on in the tenure. Dees suffer from it and now the blues, we used to but got bitten enough times to understand it takes so much more than just top end draft picks to win a premiership. Dees fans are starting to realise it now, this season missing out on finals and then having to watch what was in their eyes a vastly inferior list go on and win the flag has humbled a lot of them. Blues will soon realise it’s easy to rise rapidly to a certain point, after that it takes a lot more than just talent to win the big one.

lolnorf lolblues..... havent played in a grand final for almost 20 years
Guy at work whos a Carlton supporter cant handle Richmond won the flag.
First he tried the Richmond bandwagon argument, which i statistically disproved and actually turned round in him citing last years membership numbers.
then he tried the Cartons won more flags arguement, which i said 5 of them came before 1915 so its hardly something to hang your hat on.
then in a last attempt he tried the Richmond supporters are feral and carlton are sophisticated line, which i replied 'at least if one left their kids with a Richmond supporter theyd know he wouldnt sell them to make a quick buck.
and in closing, i reminded him that 23 years since their last premiership is now the equal longest period without a flag in thr clubs history, that they are irrrleevant to modern football.

They usually fall squarely into one of a few categories
- poo talkers (ones who use gift of the gab to get through life as they have Zero other life and personal skills)
- surface wealth-ers (all bling no assets) who wear 50% of their wealth
- real estate agents/used car salesmen/vacuum cleaner salesmen/carnies
- wogs who were told as kids that they were 'special' by their mums and honestly believe it today (I can say this as a wog)
- that type of friend/associate that 99% of the time they talk with you, you realise they are trying to subtly convince you to do something.....that will benefit them
-Anyone who's 2nd or third generation European immigrant and whose parents were bAnished in shame from their village, rather than leaving voluntarily.
-pick 3 of the above

Adelaide folk are still bitter and now want "Best of 3 Grand Finals" :facepalm
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Erin Phillips has a creative idea to resolve questions about Victorian teams getting an advantage on Grand Final day. But it hasn’t gone down well with fans.
Phillips was a guest host on Triple M Adelaide’s Dead Set Legends on Saturday morning when callers were debating the fact the past five Grand Finals had been won by Victorian teams against an interstate opponent.
Since Sydney downed Hawthorn by 10 points in 2012, Fremantle, the Swans, West Coast, the Swans again and Adelaide have fallen short on Grand Final day.
All those matches were played at the MCG even though the past three seasons the “visiting” team finished higher on the ladder than its Grand Final opponent after the home-and-away season.
AFL boss Gillon McLachlan said this week he had no issue with the decider being played at the ’G every year, adding the league has a contact with the MCG for the next 20 years. But Phillips threw up a compromise of sorts more familiar to fans of her other sport, basketball — a best-of-three Grand Final that could be shared between the home states of both competing teams.
“Obviously, the Crows finished top, they get the first home game,” she said.
“Second one goes to the MCG and then game three gets decided back at Adelaide Oval. Why not?”
The idea had some supporters but they were vastly outnumbered on social media.
One Facebook user Gazza Barber called it “absolute rubbish trash talk”, Steve Fisk said the suggestion was “the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard” and Jay Holor described it as a “rubbish idea that benefits no one”.
Objections included the cost of tickets for fans who wanted to go to three Grand Finals, the toll on players of travel and extra games, allegations of sour grapes from Adelaide and the fact Brisbane, Port Adelaide, Sydney, West Coast and the Crows — in 1997 and 1998 — had all won Grand Finals at the MCG.
The best analysis of this year’s Grand Final may have come from Crows fan Jack Mackay: “Maybe if Erin led us instead of Tex we coulda won.”

I bought this cap to wear at the 2017 AFL Grand Final as my Crows Membership cap is yellow and the Tigers would be wearing yellow.
The Crows lost the Grand Final while I was wearing this cap. So I am blaming this cap. I will not wear it again. I think with a better performing cap the Crows would have won the Grand Final.

You know what is starting to irk me you got players like Treloar and dons captain come out and say why can't we do a richmond like we fluked it or something.Don't see a defence like ours at pies or midfield or forward line and the same as the dons maybe there forward line is on par with us.Not to mention the match winners we have to compared to both and more even side.

I wouldn't worry about it, hope the clubs continue to think that way, it benefits us. You don't fluke winning 3 finals by an average of 8 goals
-
I saw a little clip from SEN, Maher asked Frawley and some other guy what they would say to the Tiger players first day back at training.
I think Hardwick needs to say 'everyone thinks we fluked it, they're calling us the worst premiership side ever'
I think that would be good motivation.

What a load of nonsense

And Geelong are still being the biggest biatches
2 games at the G next year handbaggers, better bring tissues and lube

Crows fans still bitter :lol.
So I had to spend nearly 2 hours closing down 6 Commonwealth bank and credit card accounts on Saturday morning after I saw that new Comm bank commercial with the bearded “Ish” singing that Bloody Tigerland song. Got the mortgage broker looking for a new P & I loan on Monday to.
What a hassle, hoping to find a bank with an unintelligible Phillipino computer voice next time.

So if Rance doesn't play on the comps best forwards, who in our team does?
According to Ricky, Adelaide's much vaunted key forwards were nullified by thin air ::).
Rance and Astbury swapped between Walker and Jenkins while Broad ran with Lynch. Clearly, Ricky also missed Rance's crucial 1-on-1 spoil on a leading Walker in the 2nd qtr that rebounded for Jack's goal and proved a turning point.
But hey Ricky, Hurley watching the ball continually go over his head in the Bombers EF flogging by the Swans makes him better than Rance dominating all 3 finals on the way to a premiership :stupid :nopity :rollin.
-
That's all right Ricky isn't a human's arse hole but he parades around as though he belongs with the species
-
Captain of All Australian team...says a lot more than a doped up, washed out paedo!

Hilarious, as if this guy hasn't covered himself in glory previously. These insane ramblings take the cake.

Rance doesn’t need to defend an opponent when he is so effective at defending the footy.
-
Ricky Nixon lmfao ....who follows or listens to this idiot? Quite sad really!
-
Ricky Nixon lmfao ....who follows or listens to this idiot? Quite sad really!
He is actually pretty good at getting a bite. Let's face it, he doesn't believe his dribble anymore than we do, but he knows that upsetting Tigers fans gets him a lot of attention. And by rating Hurley as a footballer in any sense of the word he upsets everyone else including 80% of Essendon fans. Then he gains all the idiot fringe support from North supporters who desperately buy into his crap about anything Tigers to get solace on the fact that they couldn't get Dusty by offering the biggest contract in AFL history.
In all honesty, I actually think he supports the Tigers. He is like the 10 year old boy at school who teases a girl because he actually has a crush on her.

Turns out I’m wrong, my team has 12 Tigers and 10 Pies, but we have better depth, leaving out Degoey, Varcoe, Crisp, WHE..they only miss Prestia.

Had an argument with a mate over New Years, my position was that if the Tigers can win from 13th so can we ... My logic was if both lists were combined more Pies would make it than Tigers. Turns out I’m wrong, my team has 12 Tigers and 10 Pies, but we have better depth, leaving out Degoey, Varcoe, Crisp, WHE..they only miss Prestia.
My team:
Grimes Rance Howe
Adams Reid Houli
Caddy Cotchin Wells
Martin Moore Edwards
Rioli Riewoldt Elliot
Grundy Treloar Pendlebury
Sidebottom Ellis Lambert Grigg
Emerg: Prestia Crisp Maynard Varcoe
Astbury over Reid any day of the week.
and Howe would be a weak link in a side built on defence.
-
^^
One of my faves:
They have the two best players in the league in Martin and Rance, tapers off pretty quickly after that. Cotchin is faux-hard, And he may make our midfield but I’d much rather have Treloar and Adams on ball.
-
We have just won the flag and seen September action 4 of the past 5 seasons .
They have missed finals the past 4 seasons.
What are they smoking over there .

They problem with once great businesses is they don't realise what they've become and they hold onto the wrong leadership for far too long which perpetuates the issue.
Carlton still haven't recovered from this disease.

Crows and Cats fans are still so bitter they take joy in us losing a meaningless AFLX game :lol.
a "zooper" from 60 to win the game against richmond in the dying seconds. Doesn't get better then that.(unless it happened in real football that is)

This is worth a look. There are actually some pretty reasonable posts from some of the Crows fans on there. Thoughtful, considered and magnanimous
Not as hard to find amongst the morons as I might have presumed.
-
Just went back through recent history to see all the times Geelong has hosted a home final at the MCG. To keep it fair I excluded GFs
2011 QF2 defeated Hawthorn
2014 SF2 lost to North
2016 QF2 defeated Hawthorn
2017 QF2 lost to Richmond
It seems oppo supporters are only recalling one of these. Didn’t hear the handbaggers complain when they were beating Hawks there as home games.

From the Roos forum ...
I don't rate Richmond. I only see a North loss on the cards if we take our foot off the pedal and focus on round 1. Ricmond will struggle to make the 8 this year.
Yeah, fair farks to the Tigs in that they won a flag, but what won it for them was not some ground breaking small forward line.
Wot wun it was having a brilliant run with injuries, having their top two midfield talents in Cotchins and Martins (both top 3 draft picks) have simultaneous career-best seasons and hitting peak form at exactly the right time ie in September.
and the AFL closing their eyes when it came to the prelim head non contact rule allowing clubs popular sons to line up on the big stage.
And three home finals sort of helped, too.
Imagine if one of our 2015 or 2016 Preliminary Finals was played at the MCG or Etihad.
If only our 2016 PF had been at Etihad or the G.:'(
You have to wonder what would have happened if the Cats had the home final they deserved after finishing above the Tuggers. Richmond out in the Semi after failing to win a final again? Most likely I reckon.

The last one is funny because their semi against Geelong was a Geelong home game at the G. Just saying.
-
Geez, they've got good memories at Arden St. They didn't even make a PF in 2016 :lol. Only scrapped in by % into 8th (3 wins behind 7th) and were bundled out in a 10 goal EF flogging in Adelaide.
It was in 2015 that they made a PF after again finishing 8th. We choked after half-time in the EF and even as bad as we were they still needed the umps to get them over the line in the last qtr when Edwards clear holding the ball on Cunnington right in front of goal wasn't paid and they ran it up the other end for the match-sealing goal ::). They then only got through to a PF thanks to facing an injury-riddled Swans in the SF. In the PF, Norf choked on a 21 pt lead to lose by 25 to the 2nd placed Eagles in Perth.
In 2014, they finished 6th and the hypocrites forget they beat the higher 3rd-placed Geelong at the MCG in a SF by a kick :wallywink before copping a 71 pt hiding by Sydney.
It says a lot that North have only finished top 4 after the H/A season once (2007) since Wayne Carey left their club. They've never won more then 14 games in a H/A season since their last flag in 1999. Even we've finished more times top 4 and won more than 14 games in a H/A season than they have since 2000 lol, yet their supporters (both of them) act like they've been a successful club over the past 20 years :wallywink.
Edit: Beat me to it, dwaino :thumbsup.

The win last night sure has made opposition fans bitter again.
On SEN after midnight, they were coming up with every excuse to not rate us. "Oh Richmond has had no injuries to their best players", "Oh Richmond has had an easy draw for a reigning premier and only played one top 8 side in the first 5 rounds", "Oh Richmond hasn't beaten anyone decent yet", etc ...

They were all hoping last year was some kind of fluke :lol

Can anyone remember that Demon troll who appeared on OER after we lost to them a few years ago? Crapped on about our culture and how deluded we were. Would love to bump that thread

To be a sooky baby, you at least have to have something relevant to say that will rile the opposition supporters.
I can't think of a club that has less impact on me like that than Melbourne and their supporters.
For me, they are like a jellyfish. They just float around lacking backbone, occasionally annoying with the odd sting here and there, but really, doing nothing and going nowhere except where external forces take them.

I don’t get the “so many games at the MCG thing”. So many of our home games are against fellow MCG tenants negating any home ground advantage. We don’t get the 10 free hits at home that interstate sides get.

We certainly don't get 18 games there a year, every year there like Collingwood used to.... :shh

Not a sook as such but it continues the theme of some in the media still not rating us and especially our playing list despite us being reigning premiers and currently sitting on top of the ladder.
The AFL website has only 3 Tigers named in their State of Origin squads (Victoria vs Dreamteam). Cotch & Dusty for Victoria and Rance at FB for the Dreamteam side. Even Jack couldn't get a gig with Jesse Hogan named ahead of him :huh.
Our 2018 Victoria team

Also, if you wanna have Hogan ahead of Riewoldt then how the hell does LeCras get game? Perhaps in his heyday......

Clarkson was privately seething about the way Richmond defended his forwards in the 13-point loss to the Tigers in round three, mainly because he thought Tiger defenders were blocking the run of his forwards with their forearms without actually holding on to them.

richmond treating us the way we used to treat them 10 stuffing years ago
Goes to show what confidence can do for a team. Richmond are full of potatoes playing out of their skins
Yep sadly they’re miles ahead, yet I think their list is full of spuds. Boggles the mind.
Makes me throw up that Hardwick is coaching them. They deserved Knights.
Hope ****** West Coast win the flag. These ***** are ******* smug ******. Gave me and a few a send off after the game & bagged every player. They can get ******. Hope they have another 37 years of poo-ness. And Melbourne can get ****** too. Get the ***** eagles up this year FFS
Any chance a Richmond player will be called for incorrect disposal anytime this ■■■■■■■ decade. FFS
Absolutely, but you know it will never happen to the golden boy. This is the worst display of umpiring this year. Clearly under instruction from the AFL, or have extra money in their pay packets this week. Truly disgraceful.
The game sucks. Virtually unwatchable tripe these days.
Richmond is the new free kick hawthorn
Far and away the pootest umpiring we’ve had to put up with all season hasn’t helped.
Junktime jack right on queue.
Can’t remember what I was going to post. Who cares. Seriously anyone at the game can see the rubbish umpiring - and anyone at the game can also see we panic when the pressure is on. Not a team yet.
Winning ticket raffle number - 1984
Following this club is like having a boot stomping on your face forever.
Absolutely no ■■■■■■■ heart in this side. The slightest amount of pressure and they just drop their bundles. Time for a massive cleanout
Huge crowd at the station already, understandably the team left two qtrs ago
Oh yeah, we’d be sh8tting this in if it wasn’t for the umpires. I’m going to open up a fing thread about how there’s been a 15 year conspiracy against us, and that’s the reason for our sustained period of ■■■■■.

The Crows forum is in meltdown lol.
Most of the vitriol is directed at their own players, coaches and club but some of them couldn't help having a bitter shot at us :wallywink.
Let's be honest, no non-Victorian team is beating Richmond in the GF this year. They are good enough to be in the match, but then get a 5 goal advantage from the umpires.
Dusty alone is allowed to fend off using someone's face, try to fend off and get caught without htb called, encroach the protected area without consequence, and all he needs to do is look to the umps with pleading eyes to get the softest 50 of all time.
Add to that the constant throws allowed, the umps pulling back an advantage if a player stuffs up their kick after taking advantage, forwards being constantly nudged under the ball and getting their arms chopped.
And then the cherry on top is the bemusing frees that get picked out of nowhere in rucking contests, which all happen to be in Richmond's favour.
There is no hope unless you are Collingwood or Hawthorn.
Richmond supporters. They are campaigners. **** of you campaigners. I hope you get smashed in the grand final, (as long as it's not Port you play) In fact I hope you go out in straight sets before the GF

Being top of the ladder with 100k members has hit a nerve with Pie fans.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This week I look forward to seeing the mighty Mags end Richmond’s unbeaten streak.
What was that? They’re not undefeated, you say?!
Well I’ll be damned.
The way they’ve been carrying on over the past couple of weeks has had me fooled into thinking they’ve breezed through 2018. In my eyes, any positive Richmond-related news is like nails down a chalkboard. Not human nails either – rusty nails.
We really need to bring the noise this Saturday, Magpie Army. For once, we’ll be up against it, with the yellow and black bandwagoners sure to be full of zest over their fancy new numbers.
This 100,000 members is actually nothing to snigger at. I’ve even heard almost 60,000 of them are real-life people who brought one for themselves and not their pets. Remarkable!
What’s even more impressive is the collective nap the AFL world has been on over the past 12 months allowing Richmond to look like a god-damn powerhouse.
Reigning premiers. Can you believe that? A side that used to avoid finals like it was the weird kid in class who ate his own ear-wax (that’s right Adam Vaughan, I remember you) is now a legitimate threat of looking like the AFL’s version of the Harlem Globe Trotters.
Don’t let the snag-gags and cute goal celebrations fool you. The Richmond Tigers are pure evil and will stop at nothing to destroy all that is enjoyable and fun in the world.
Don’t believe me? Well buckle in and let me tell you about my day yesterday.
The day started like any other as I took my pet rabbit Lou (named after Lou Richards) for a walk. After a few km’s, we grew parched. This is when the day differed to the rest of them.
We both decided to revitalise ourselves with a coffee. That’s when it happened.
Jack Riewoldt was in the café.
I told him how odd it was to see him in person as I usually only see footballers on TV and in newspapers. He refused to break eye contact with me while stirring the sugar into his coffee and pretending to yawn the whole time.
Incredibly rude isn’t it? Well the goal-kicking mini-man who operates the forward fifty with him didn’t seem to think so. Jack Higgins also sat there, flicking the froff of his latte at me and Lou. I asked him to stop and all he did was say the word ‘snag’ over and over.
I can still hear it ringing in my ears now.
I told the two of them that they were going to be absolutely embarrassed by Shaz and Bruzzy Maynard this week, and if they fail against Collingwood’s superior backs, Dusty won’t let them come to Vegas in the off-season.
They looked worried at this notion. However let’s be honest, no fake ID in the world is going to get Higgins in Caesar’s Palace anyway.
Don’t get me wrong. I rate the Tiges. Their midfield is actually pretty good. I honestly think Martin and Trent Cotchin would be walk-up starters to our VFL side. This on the other hand is a sold-out MCG and I eagerly anticipate watching Taylor Adams, Scott Pendlebury and Steele Sidebottom make mincemeat of them.
Sidenote: Remember when they were in an unlosable position against us and Cotchin told Adam Treloar that he “spoke too soon” and then they lost? Ha!
Memories from round three, 2016. Good times.
Remember when Travis Cloke kicked seven on Alex Rance? Me too. So does Brody ‘2020 Coleman’ Mihocek. Our new key forward saviour is here to change the guard. He’s looking so dangerous lately it will force Rance to do something he doesn’t often do and man up. You’re right where we want you, Tiges!!!
Every tale in history has a good guy (or girl) and a bad guy (or girl) and if you are familiar with any of them you will know that good always triumphs over bad.
David and Goliath.
Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant.
Regina George and the other characters in Mean Girls.
Collingwood and Richmond.
Has this week’s write-up lacked a bit of trademark arrogance considering we are playing the reigning premiers? Eh. Maybe.
But I feel no distress for this match. At our best, we will smash them. At our most average, we’ll still probably win.
Pies by 47 and the umpires should save time now by giving Brodie Grundy three votes in his hundredth now.

I personally think he actually hates us. Probably because of the crap he copped in’81 when he ran into an open goal without any pressure whatsoever and ran past the goal square and kicked a point believing he was running into the goals. At the time it was the funniest this thing I’ve ever witnessed live on a footy field and we gave him heaps too. IIRC he was sacked by north not long after that. :rollin

Biggest footy club lol, I always marvel at headline comments when everyone’s clearly knows the Pies are the biggest, if having the most members all of a sudden makes you the biggest club then we seriously have some amateur media personalities
Dont worry about journo crap - they are just obsessed with Richmond. When we win a flag we will get a lot more members signing up and will go past 100k members too. Adelaide count you if you sign up to a newsletter and we have been flogging heavily discounted memberships to get our numbers up too. Having the most members doesn’t make you the best or biggest club. Having said that it does pee me off that they have got so many members.
Just wait till Richmond stop winning. Their membership will drop by 50%. And everyone knows that Collingwood are the biggest club in the AFL. We have drawn over 9.2 million people more then Richmond during the home and away season since 1921. Collingwood are 7 million more then the next club Carlton and Essendon are 3rd with 400,000 less then Carlton. In terms of social media Collingwood are the biggest club in the afl followed by Essendon who are 40,000 behind then hawthorn who are 80,000 behind and 4th Richmond who are 110,000 behind.
100k for Richmond was a flash in the pan - they'll probably cap out at around 90-95k this year and slide over subsequent years as their dominance fades. Provided we can keep up the positive on-field form, there's no reason we can't push up to the 90k mark and beyond.

LMAO ... I love this stuff

I don't disagree that Collingwood are the only other club that would rival Richmond in members/supporters/casual fans. That being said Richmond had always been a sleeping giant and it was woken up in 2017. Bring on 2019, can not wait to cruise into the grand final with dare I say it 120K members.

The sad thing about him is that he has a lot more experience than most people across the entire enterprise at AFL level. Player, player manager, small business owner and he is a qualified teacher, so he is no slouch. I have been to a football function where he was a key speaker, and he spoke well with obvious knowledge of what he was talking about.
But as you say, instead of making relevant comments on the stuff I think he clearly knows, he carries on with amateurish garbage designed to inflame people which he can't substantiate.
That kind of footy coverage went out years ago (Kane Cornes excepted, but then he mainly appeals to the idiot South Australian fringe).
After his 'scandal' with the St Kilda schoolgirl he reached a fork in the road. He chose the path he is on, but I think he chose poorly. Instead of doing his time and looking for an opportunity to make a worthwhile contribution to the game at a later date, like replacing Mark McLure in any commentary on the game, he chooses to carry on with this garbage.

Hope we can win anither flag or two before he dies ..... :shh

Lol he can make his predictions about how we’ll go this year because who knows what will happen. But saying we’ll be passed in membership within 3 months is laughable. They would all need to break or go close to breaking their all time record to surpass where we are right now.

What does he mean about costing 3 great kids a spot? Is he talking about Lloyd, Miles and CEllis.
Those three would be getting even less time regardless of Lynch.

Patrick Dangerfield believes it isn't fair if the Cats aren't granted a home final at GMHBA Stadium should it earn a home final.
The Cats are headed for a top-two finish this season, which would allow it to host a home final – the only catch is it will be at the MCG, not its official home ground down the highway.
Dangerfield believes Geelong should be given a "home" final in the true sense of the word – given its home ground is GMBHA Stadium and not the MCG – regardless of its opposition.
The argument is if the Cats finish top-two and have to play a team like Collingwood or Richmond, thousands of supporters would be locked out of the game, given the stadium's capacity is only 36,000 compared to over 100,000 at the MCG.

So if we finish 5th or 6th we can get a home final at PRO right? I thought being head of the aflpa would make him more conscious of the fans of the game. GMHBA is no place for a final

Can't work out why there is any angst about the MCG as the grand final venue. Since 2000 only 6 premierships have been won by MCG tenants. One in three.
And Geelong didn't have much trouble there before Scott took over

Geelong have been playing finals only at the MCG, Docklands and Waverley for as long as I can remember. What's got into them of late?

Talk of the G being an unfair venue for the GF given interstate sides and Cats see it as an away ground.
Here are some stats:-
Over the past 26 years (since Adelaide, Lions and Weagles entered)
Interstate sides (and Cats) have been 45% of teams in AFL
In that time, they have been involved in a GF 50% of the time and have won the GF 55% of the time when they have competed against a Melbourne side.
There have been plenty of upsets over that period:
Crows ‘97 and ‘98, Lions ‘01, Cats ‘11, Swans ‘12 and Eagles last year (only 3 teams have won the flag from 1st at the home and away season in the last 18 years) so we wouldn’t want the facts to get in the way of a good sook would we?
-
They started losing to us... :shh
100%
Can anyone remember them whinging when they were playing the hawks during that era?? I don't
All these tears started in the lead up to our Qual final against them and it's gone from there
-

Let's be honest here, the only time they had a final at GMHBA they lost to Freo
Are they sure they want to do this :rollin
Don't think the venue makes one iota of difference to them, they lose more finals than they win ;D

The Tigers are now settling their side after getting seven players back from injury after the bye. With Jack Riewoldt’s return around the corner, they could very easily find themselves back in the top four, and wouldn’t that scare Geelong if Richmond finishes fourth.

I always maintain football is for the fans. I wouldn’t actually be against the GF to be held at Adelaide oval if the GF was a showdown. Similarly for a western derby. But outside of that it has to be at the MCG

Who’s game is it? Who’s league was it that expanded into a national league?
If the interstate clubs wanted it they should’ve had the better league.
It’s our game born and bred in our city. It should NEVER leave the MCG EVER!
If the interstate teams don’t like it then they can start their own national competition and see how i that goes for them. :rollin
-
It’s pretty simple.
Interstate teams get a massive advantage through the getting 10 proper home advantage game through the H&M season.
Melbourne based teams would be lucky to get 3 or 4 equivalent home game advantages. So that imbalance gets them into the finals, then they have to deliver in the finals to win the thing
-
I agree with Damo.
The corporate factor is not to be underestimated.
AFL would lose SOOO much $$ if they weren't able to hold it at the 'G.
I don't think they'd give too much of a poo about the average fans not being able to get in, but if they don't have as many corporate boxes and MCC seating to fill they'll never let it leave.
And frankly, there's only MAYBE 2 other stadiums in the country that could hold the GF anyway. So unless every major city's stadium can potentially host it, none should, outside the 'G.

I know England 's barely more than half the size Victoria with a population more than twice that of Australia but do supporters of clubs from outside London ever whinge that the FA Cup Final is always at Wembley? Even the Rugby League Cup Final is always there and nearly every team in the comp. is either from Yorkshire or Lancashire way up in the north.......... :shh

No1 plays home games at Wembley so there’s no home ground advantage to complain about.
-
Actually Spurs did for the last few years until last season... :shh
Anyway it's about travel & geography as much as home ground advantage - Geelong still complain yet are only across the bay and play at the 'G all the time including home fixtures v Hawthorn & Collingwood... :shh :shh

Yup only because they were waiting for their new one to get built which was supposed to be done at the start of the season but dragged out big time.
I’d say home ground advantage is significantly the biggest gripe of fans and tbh apart from the grand final I think they have a good claim to hosting finals in Geelong should they qualify to. It’s not up to them to make the afl the most money possible which let’s face it is the only reason they make them have it at the MCG. They’ve proven time and time again that they don’t give a damn about the fans. In any case if you’re good enough you’ll win no matter where you play, didn’t hear them complaining in their golden era, fact is after Scott’s first year in charge they’ve been nowhere near it.
-
Geelong poo me to tears. Their supporters are the stuffing pits.
They are the only Melbourne club to have a genuine home ground advantage. All the rest share the MCG or Marvell meaning there isn’t any advantage most of the time. But they do it so their members and supporters can come and watch most/all games. That is what it’s about surely!!
Interstate teams do have a home ground advantage but they have to travel every other week evening their home ground advantage out IMO.
Geelong wants their cake and eat it too.
How would they think it would work for a home final at their pooheap of a ground against us?
Would it be 50 50 allocation for members of both clubs?
How would their members feel if they shelled out their hard earned all year to watch games only to miss out on a seat in a final?
If it were me I would tell them to shove it.
I always thought Brad Scott was the biggest flog out of the two but I’m changing my mind now.

Geelong coach Chris Scott has hit back at Gillon McLachlan's "furphies" that the Cats should play home finals at the MCG because it's a venue where they host home and away matches.

Now he's having a sook about us and our fixture :lol.
--------------------------------------------------------
The 2011 premiership coach then proceeded to question the fairness of Richmond’s remaining six home fixtures at the MCG.
“I’ll tell what I did give a bit of thought to, is the fact that Richmond have won an inordinate number of games in a row at the MCG, and we’re facing that sort of scenario again,” Scott said.
“There is every possibility that Richmond could play their last seven games at their home venue at the MCG, not qualify for a home final, but play their first final at their home venue for the eighth time in a row.
“I think there is some paranoia around the competition about home ground advantage because everyone acknowledges how important it is.
“If you told someone in the US for example that a team could play at the Grand Final venue for the last seven times in a row and then not qualify for a home final but still play the MCG, I think they would laugh at us.”
Geelong are pushing to host a home qualifying final at GMHBA Stadium if it draws an interstate club.

Have absolutely no issue with Geelong hosting a final down at the hell hole against an interstate club
But suggest they should host a final against a Victorian Club is laughable. Forget who their opponent might be. Fact is more than half of their very own members would not be able to attend
Not quite sure how Crying Chris would go about explaining that to his ferals.

You can't tell me there isn t a link to crying Chris and that idiot Hocking

SHocking used to be head of footy down at the Cattery before joining the AFL - so yeah they have link ;D

Whateley was the one who interviewed him and barely pushed him on that at all.
We play co tenants (away) in two of those games and Carlton as the third away game (and when was the last time we played Carl away at somewhere other than the G, 97?)
We also have traveled 5 times this year like everybody else.
-
Geelong are the biggest sooks.
Sooklong Football Club!
-
I would love our club to fire back at them.
Why is the stuffhead even talking about our club?
IMO, even if the are scheduled to play an interstate team in the finals, particularly if it’s WC, why should their supporters not be able to attend that final if it’s in Geelong?
They would get 20k travelling supporters as a minimum. Why shouldn’t they all get the chance to watch a their team in a final?
Actually I would like the AFL to fire back too at Scott’s comments.
This idiot needs to be put back in his box.
-
It’s 1967 all over again.
They still haven’t let that go and they still clearly haven’t let the ‘17 Q final loss go. They were smashed by a hungrier, superior team that night but it’s easier to cry foul and throw up nonsense like home ground advantages and crowds being loud and mean!!!
They don’t call them the handbaggers for nothing.
-
Just beat the Sooks at the MCG.
If we play them it will get personal.
Chris Scott deflected after the Buckley comment!

Sooklong hanbaggers streaking away
Those tears will taste sooo good

Maybe they're council could collect some extra tax and build a 70,000+ capacity stadium...goodness knows they have the space for it out there...

MCG final will always mean a free kick for Melbourne teams
Michelangelo Rucci,
The Advertiser
1 Aug 2019
West Coast’s win in last year’s AFL grand final spared the league executive from any awkward questions about locking the premiership play-off to the MCG until 2057. But it might be just a short-lived reprieve.
The Eagles’ dramatic win against the MCG-based Collingwood took away — for the moment — the concern for how the national competition’s most-important game of the year is played to the advantage of a large group of Melbourne-based clubs.
Richmond this weekend will play at the MCG for the fourth consecutive week, albeit as the “away” team to the venue’s original tenant, Melbourne. The Tigers then finish the home-and-away fixture with another three games at the so-called “home of football” — to complete a pre-finals run of seven in a row at the MCG.
It is an inevitable fall-out of a national competition overloaded with half of its 18 teams based in Melbourne and the ground-rationalisation era leaving just two AFL venues (MCG and Docklands) in Melbourne. Where else would the Demons and Tigers play but at the G?
The ironical twist in the MCG debate will be if Richmond ranks fourth at the end of the home-and-away series — and is tied to a qualifying final against top-ranked Geelong, a Victorian rival that calls the MCG home every so often.
Geelong, as the minor premier, would be returning to the MCG for the first time in six weeks and the sixth time this season (while Richmond would be playing its 14th game of the year at the G).
No wonder Geelong is more and more adamant that any home final it earns should be played at its home at Kardinia Park where the capacity of 36,000 is far less than the 100,000 seats at the MCG.
But this is an AFL built on the dollar — and even Geelong has fallen into this commercial trap of chasing cash. The Cats’ 160th anniversary game on July 21 was not at Kardinia Park but at the MCG. It was not against its first opponent of Melbourne but its modern rival in Hawthorn … clearly for commercial reasons.
AFL rules refer to “home state” rather than “home field” in determining where a final is played. Geelong v Richmond has a stronger commercial fit at the MCG than at Kardinia Park. The compelling argument from AFL House will be about choosing the venue that offers more seats to the 70,000 fans who want to attend the final.
Of the past 10 Geelong-Richmond games, only two have been played at Kardinia Park — in 2017 and 2012 with crowds of 32,266 and 21,952 respectively. The eight at the MCG have been split 5-3 in Geelong’s favour and drawn no less than 34,377 fans (in 2014).
The MCG debate will not go away while there is the perception it significantly favours a powerful group of Melbourne-based teams. Thankfully, the AFL no long demands at least one of the two preliminary finals be played at the MCG — a contractual theme that clearly worked against non-Victorian teams.
The AFL top-eight for September’s finals does appear almost a lock with no credible rival to unseat an under-performing Adelaide from eighth spot.
The AFL’s best-case scenario is for the final rankings to be — 1. Geelong, 2. West Coast, 3. Richmond, 4. Brisbane, 5. Collingwood, 6. GWS, 7. Essendon and 8. Adelaide. Then the first weekend of the finals would deliver Geelong v Brisbane at Kardinia Park; West Coast v Richmond at Perth Stadium; Collingwood v Adelaide at the MCG and GWS v Essendon in Sydney.
And, as with West Coast’s grand final win last year, the MCG debate would come off the boil … for a short moment again.

All those interstaters whinging about our finals being played at the 'G always conveniently leave out that interstate sides get a massive advantage during the H/A season of 10 home games against opposition sides from outside of their state. It gives them an easier opportunity to finish higher on the ladder. Likewise, Geelong have the advantage of their own exclusive home ground for 7? home games.
We, on the other hand, get just three such home games this year (our recent win over Port plus the Eagles and Lions games coming up). Our 'home' game against the Swans was at Docklands. Clashes with other MCG tenants are neutral derbies so there's no advantage.
No one sooked when we sucked for three decades even at the 'G. The salty tears have only kicked in since September 2017 ::).

Cat-astrophe! Geelong’s home final set for MCG.
Jon Ralph
Herald-Sun
14 Aug 2019
THE AFL is determined to schedule a Thursday night week one final but has officially ruled out a GMHBA Stadium final in September.
The league is desperate to maximise its attendances across the season, hopeful it could break last year’s home-and-away record attendance in the next fortnight.
That same policy is certain to result in the Cats playing an MCG final if they qualify — potentially against Richmond — rather than at GMHBA Stadium.
AFL fixturing boss Travis Auld told the Herald Sun that while teams had the right to play in their own state, “we want to give as many fans a chance to watch their team play”.

Geelong's executive team declined the opportunity to publicly state their disappointment at the decision, but coach Chris Scott reacted to the AFL's call later on Wednesday.
"They were definitive about maximising attendances for finals which is absolutely (the AFL's) right," he said.
"If they've made their call we've got no choice but to acquiesce.
"I don't think it augurs well for the Gold Coast or GWS or some of the smaller Melbourne clubs into the future.
"But it's their prerogative to decide what they prioritise.
"Whether I agree with it or whether football people in general agree with it, it's probably beside the point."

Kane Cornes on Footy Classified sooking about us :nopity.
Especially, carried on about our run home at the 'G as being "the biggest free kick" and trying to use it as the excuse for us beating West Coast who have had to travel a fair bit in recent weeks.
When Caro said she sensed a fair bit of anti-Richmond in his comments tonight, Cornes replied he had to counter her pro-Richmond bias ::).

'The system is wrong': Scott slams AFL over MCG grand final
Daniel Cherny,
Nell O'Shea
24 Aug 2019
Geelong coach Chris Scott has again attacked the AFL over the league's finals fixturing arrangement, declaring "the system is wrong".
The Cats booked a top-two spot with a 68-point win over Carlton at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday, however Geelong's home qualifying final will be played at the MCG despite the club's push to bring finals football to Geelong.
Asked about the issue, Scott broadened his complaint, pointing to the fact that the grand final is played at the MCG.
"I'm going to take it away from the Geelong thing, because anyone who's not a Geelong supporter just considers it whingeing," Scott said.
"The one thing I will say is that most normal people know the system is wrong. There can be no doubting that it's wrong. But it is what it is. West Coast and Brisbane, GWS for that matter, maybe the Crows and Port, have to come and win a grand final, probably at their opposition's home ground as well. The system's bizarre. So you need to be that little bit better. Which West Coast were last year.
"Are we confident we're that? We're hopeful. We've had a good preparation. We've given ourselves every chance. Now whether we can go and beat teams that play 15 games at the MCG every year, including probably 10 or 12 in a row, is yet to be seen. But we're up for the challenge."
The 'G will continue to host the grand final until 2057 under a deal signed last year.
The Cats will finish first if Richmond beat Brisbane on Sunday, and will fall to second if the Lions beat the Tigers.

A lot will have to go right for you to win a flag, ya flog

But he’s talking about Richmond not the G
We are so in their heads
-
Even my Geelong mate thinks he should shut the “truck” up.
What a complete wanker.
I’m really hoping they go out in straight sets as they are fast becoming my most disliked club.
Still a fair way off Essendon though.....
-
Chris Scott and Geelong are out of control. There continual whinging is a blight on the game and he is bringing the game into disrepute with his whining bitching and complaining. The AFL needs to haul the l Ioser into line.
-
You would have thought they always played finals at KP.....
Hey Chris, in the history of the VFL/AFL you have only played at KP once against Freo (2013) because the MCG was not available. Even in 2012 you played your home final against Freo at the MCG. So why didn't Geelong complain about playing at the MCG in the 60's and 70's?
The wording is you get a home state final, not a home ground final.

Said this before. Only time they had a final at KP they lost :rollin
Also just had a "discussion" with Cats member who said they they've fighting for decades to get home finals at KP.
This is simply not true. Only banging on about it since the ground upgraded....but let's not allow facts to get in the way of a good whinge
-
Six of their first seven flags were won after finishing on the top of the ladder and playing all their finals at the 'G. Their 6th and 8th flags were all played at the 'G when they finished second. I must have missed where Reg Hickey, Bobby Davis and Bomber Thompson all complained about home finals being played at the 'G! ::)
In Chris Scott's first year as coach they finished above Hawthorn and yet had to play their home QF at the 'G. They also went on to win their 9th and last flag. I don't remember him sooking back then like this despite Hawthorn having the M.C.G. as their home ground ::).

Now we've got SA pollies still sooking about the GF being at the 'G even though neither of their state's clubs even made the finals :wallywink.
AFL grand final should be shared, MP says
Daniel Wills
State Political Editor, The Advertiser
September 25, 2019
A LIBERAL MP who played AFL football for Collingwood has joined the call for the MCG to be stripped of automatic grand final hosting rights to make the competition truly national.
Former Holdfast Bay mayor Stephen Patterson, who was elected to State Parliament last year in the bayside seat of Morphett, says Adelaide Oval has proven itself an exceptional venue for SANFL and AFLW grand finals and deserves the chance to host Aussie Rules’ grand final.
In a speech to Parliament on Tuesday, the former Norwood man paid tribute to Glenelg’s drought-breaking SANFL premiership win at the weekend.
It also comes ahead of this weekend’s AFL showdown between the Richmond Tigers and Western Sydney Giants.
“Congratulations to SANFL chief executive Jake Parkinson and his team for putting on a fantastic grand final, coming in the same season as the AFLW grand final which saw a full house at Adelaide Oval,” Mr Patterson said.
“It is therefore disappointing to South Australians that the AFL has locked in the AFL grand final at the MCG until 2057 instead of being visionary and rotating the grand final across the nation.
“The 1990s saw the dismantling of the entitlement of the MCG to host a final each week and this last vestige of the VFL should go the same way.”
The AFL last year confirmed the MCG would be the permanent home of the grand final for the next four decades under a “$500 million mega-deal” involving the Victorian Government.
SA football legend Graham Cornes wrote in The Advertiser at the time that: “The AFL, which has taken so much from the American sports models, has succumbed to local political pressures and incentives (some would say bribery) to keep its marquee event at the MCG”.
“It seems almost every decision of the AFL is designed to benefit those incompetent, Victorian football clubs which long ago, without interstate money, AFL or Victorian government handouts, would have been bankrupted,” he wrote.
“The MCG? Victorian propaganda claims it is the best stadium in the world. It’s not.
“It is a concrete cauldron that has little of the aesthetic or cultural appeal of the Adelaide Oval or, despite its man-eating LED signs, the new stadium in Perth.”

A fair bit of sooking on opposition club forums and on SEN late last night.
The best one was the Geelong caller who went on and on about them having to play the "harder" finals fixture compared to Richmond :huh3.
He whinged that because we got to play Brisbane who hadn't played finals in a decade (conveniently left out that it was at the 'Gabba) that we had it easier than the Cats did. He wanted the finals fixture rigged so Geelong got the 'easier' final.

I was reading the geelong page on big footy.
" what history won't show was we were in front of these guys by 21 points at half time - without our full forward "
So so salty.

Being victorian I’ve always thought other vic supporters were the biggest cry babies.
Since we’ve become successful I’ve really come to appreciate how bitter and entitled the non vic supporters are and leading the pack would have to be the eagles fans. MCG granny this, 15 games at the MCG that, vic bias AFL this, poor umpiring that.

I think we did OK with the umps, but I don't think it made any difference at all.
They stole a mark off Jack in the 1st Q which was criminal.
Lynch had blokes hanging off him all day.
Ultimately the FK count is lopsided because GWS were sloppy, undisciplined and threw in the towel.

And just a few bitter Collingwood supporters for added flavor. Thanks for making me oldsplain my joke too ya millenial bastard.

Kochie fumes over grand final injustice
News.com.au
2 Oct 2019
David Koch has hit out at the AFL over claims Richmond received unfair help at the MCG during the club’s 89-point grand final thumping of the Giants.
Port Adelaide chairman Koch, who attended the AFL grand final with rival Crows chairman Rob Chapman, said he heard the MCG scoreboard and sound system play the tiger roar, which has been used to celebrate Richmond goals during home matches at the home of football this season.
Koch is the latest high-profile voice to question the AFL’s ongoing commitment to host the biggest game of the year at the MCG, following suggestions Richmond enjoyed an unfair advantage.
The MCG resembled a Richmond home game as the vast majority of 100,014 spectators cheered on the Tigers. Boos echoed around the stadium on Saturday when the Giants first walked out onto the field.
Koch told FIVEaa Radio on Tuesday morning he is concerned by the advantages given to Melbourne-based clubs after busting the MCG scoreboard breaking neutrality in the grand final.
“I did think whenever Richmond scored a goal, I’d hear the roar of the tiger on the scoreboard,” Koch said.
“I’m not sure you’re supposed to do that when it’s a final. It’s not a Richmond home game.
He said he has spoken to AFL commission chairman Richard Goyder about his concerns.
Koch also reminded AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan of his responsibility to promote the national game — rather than advance the cause of the game’s heartland in Melbourne suburbia.
“Gil, as I keep reminding him, comes from South Australian roots and he’s just got to keep that in mind,” Koch said.
“It’s little things like that.
“Rob (Chapman) and I and the other non-Victorian presidents just have to keep beating the drum that there is no ‘V’ in ‘AFL’ — it’s an ‘A’ now. We’ve got to be vigilant because the Victorians can get really cocky about this stuff, that’s it’s the home of football. It is not the home of football, it is a national sport that is right the way around the country.”
High profile Swans supporter and media personality Adam Spencer also spotted the moment at the MCG where Richmond’s roar was played through stadium loudspeakers.
Spencer labelled the audio support to Richmond: “Totally inappropriate”.
The AFL has already committed to play the grand final at the MCG through to the end of the 2057 season after signing a $500 million package deal with the Victorian Government.
However, there have been ongoing calls from interstate clubs for the decision to be re-evaluated.
Former Crows coach Don Pyke even told the AFL Coaches Association in 2018 to campaign for a best-of-three grand final series in the wake of his club’s grand final loss to Richmond in 2017.

Yes Kochie, we only won by 15 goals due to the tiger roar over the speakers :stupid :rollin.
-
There was both a tiger roar and a crow swooping noise after the goals in '17 and I'm pretty sure I heard the opening few bars of the GWS theme song after their three goals at the game though that might've been a trumpet player in the crowd....can't make out anything on the replay...they definitely did play it after their goals in the '17 PF.... :shh

There weren't enough GWS goals to actually work out if they played their "brass band" noise....... :shh

Someone said on BF there was a mike in the GWS cheer squad and they played the noise through the PA..thinking back to the game that's what it sounded like....just didn't work that well... :shh
-
If Kochi doesn’t like the AFL competition he can round up his other interstate flogs and that Geelong muppet and start their own bloody competition.
It wasn’t the SANFL or the WAFL that expanded it was the VFL competition that expanded.
It’s because it’s our game it was born and bred here in Victoria and every other state and interstate punce can get stuffed.

It’s at the G until 2057, GTFOI
Didn’t West Coast win the premiership last year?.. so it can be done, you just have to play well.

Kochie, you need to make the top 8 before you should be thinking anything to do with the grandfinal

LOL they want a best of three now... what is it a war of attrition, team with least injuries by the end wins? stuff me dead what a bunch of desperado's
-
Kochie, you need to make the top 8 before you should be thinking anything to do with the grandfinal
Kochie should change their theme song to 'We're never gonna stop stop stop until we're tenth tenth tenth' :wallywink
Over the past 7 seasons, Benny Gale has helped to not only turn us around but also into a superpower. Meanwhile under Koch, Port are still stuck in the same mediocrity they were when Kochie took over in 2013.
Port has turned into Tigers of old
Michelangelo Rucci,
The Advertiser
5 Oct 2019
Port Adelaide is the old Richmond, the AFL club trapped in the “death zone” as president David Koch puts it.
Since the 2007 grand final disaster, the Power has in 12 seasons ranked 10th five times (2009, 2010, 2016, 2018 and 2019) and ninth once (2015) while the AFL has expanded to 18 teams.
And these underwhelming results come from a fully funded football program since 2013 when Koch was the AFL’s hand-picked man to stop the Port Adelaide Football Club from needing to be rebranded, relocated and refitted away from SANFL control to satisfy the AFL’s agenda.
“We have to figure out how we get out of that ‘death zone’ between seventh down to probably 13th (on the AFL ladder),” Koch said 12 months ago.
“We’re mediocre ... we’ve got to have a ruthlessness ...”
A year later, Port Adelaide is ... 10th, again. The old Richmond ninth.
...
Imagine if Koch, in his true salesman style, started Port Adelaide’s 150th anniversary next year declaring that by 2027 (the 30th year of the Power in the AFL) his club would be free of its debt ($9 million-$12 million, depending on who is counting), had 70,000 members and had won three national titles.
Many would laugh - just as they did with Richmond in 2010.
The “death zone” has a vice-like grip on Port Adelaide. Someone at Alberton - as Gale was at Punt Road - needs to be as adventurous as the club was in 1990 when it had the ambition to be in the big time.

How are we going to stop Stevens if they add him to their already star studded lineup.
The thing that gets lost in our flag win, is that if Tomahawk plays, they probably beat us (the 21 point H/T margin would have been at least a couple of goals more), then they would have won the flag. :lol
-
Geelong is stuffed.
Ablett + Taylor finished, Selwood, Hawkins and Danger not far behind. Stevens probably beyond his prime and a little washed up.
This is a team that is desperately trying to win a flag before the inevitable rebuild, but IMO they just don't quite have the talent. I'm enjoying watching them scramble to get over the line though as it's only going to hurt them for the next decade :)

I think they might drop down next year to 7 or 8th.
Giving Taylor another year is sad IMO.
HE IS FINISHED.

What is is the saddest bit re Taylor is he thinks he can go again. He showed this season (not just against us) that the game has passed him.

I’ve always liked Harry Taylor in his prime. He’s a victim of idiotic coaching moves like “play him forward” where he looks as awkward as me at my old year 12 formal.
He’s truly past his prime and it’s sad in a funny way seeing him get belted in the contests. Kinda like how Travis cloke stayed in the league too long

Hypocrisy at its finest. On the one hand, Cornes and every other SA demand that the GF should be a home game, played on a home ground for the higher finishing team and not the 'G every year.
They also whinge that interstate teams should get more games on the G, instead of having to play games in Tassie/Darwin/Ballarat/Marvel.
BUT lets write a rule specifically that says if the best team in the comp is an MCG tennant, they shouldn't be able to play home games on their home ground, but on neutral venues.
He is laughably bad. I know his schtick is to be "controversial" - but everyone and especially industry commentators just laugh (mostly behind his back but sometimes to his face) at how pathetic, reactionary and small town his takes are.

Vesty's bottom 5 premiers since 2000.
1: Tie (Richmond 2019 & Hawthorn 2015)
Too hard to split the obvious winners of this accolade. Richmond 2019 were a horrendous football team who were absolutely kissed on the **** in every way possible from the mid point of the season onwards. Once again they had nobody on the injury or suspension list come September and faced off against opponents who the afl and injury gods ensured were crippled. Even then it took bias umpiring and rule changes made to suit their game plan (6/6/6) and not leaving the G for the last 3 months of the season in order for them to get over the line.
2: Richmond 2017
One of the least talented premiership winning sides of all time. The side literally had Dustin Martin, Alex Rance and a bunch of absolute scrubbers who could chase and tackle. The AFL ensured the "fairy tale" ground breaker with strict instructions for the umpires to look after the Tigers at all opportunities throughout the final series and the AFL themselves ensured that the Tigers would never leave their cheat ground despite them finishing lower on the ladder than two of their opponents.
https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/vestys-bottom-5-premiers-since-2000.1230275/page-3#post-63399528
If Geelong were given home finals would they have won the 14, 16, 17 & 19 flags comfortably.
I am convinced that 100% they would have won at least 3 of the above 4 flags. Let’s look at it more forensically however:
2014:
Geelong v North Melbourne. Would have been an absolute walk in the park for the cats as north were the 7th- 8th best side in it that year and we had smashed them convincingly throughout the year. Instead we are forced to play in their home city and they get over the line in a close one. Believe we would have gone on to belt Sydney and then had another crack against the hawks in the GF. Prognosis: 50% likelihood.
2016:
Qualifying final. Won by a kick against he hawks. Should have been a much easier game down at Kardinia. Prelim final: here is where we were really robbed. Had won 7 of 8 home games throughout the season and would have started unbackable favourites in this match. Absolutely no doubt in my mind we win this game and go on to demolish the dogs.
2017:
Had comprehensively smashed out direct opponent at Simmonds stadium a couple of weeks before finals and had a number of elite players returning to the side. Instead we play the side that finished 3rd in their cheat ground in front of their fans who bought our tickets in the ballot and with their home town umpiring decisions. Absolutely 100% certain if the game was at gmhba we win. Would go on to demolish our bunnies the giants and crows. 100% certainty
2019
Finished top and had to play 4th on their cheat ground then had to back it up with away game against the eagles and an away game against the 3rd placed side also in their cheat ground. Lost both our qualifying and prelim by a bees dick with some dodgy decisions and biased crowds. With an even run at it we would have been absolute morals to make the GF and belt up on the bye that was GWS in the grand final.
Overall I think it is safe to say at least 3 more flags would be in the coffers (probably 4) if the afl sorted out inequality of making us play away from home in finals

Vesty's bottom 5 premiers since 2000.
1: Tie (Richmond 2019 & Hawthorn 2015)
Too hard to split the obvious winners of this accolade. Richmond 2019 were a horrendous football team who were absolutely kissed on the **** in every way possible from the mid point of the season onwards. Once again they had nobody on the injury or suspension list come September and faced off against opponents who the afl and injury gods ensured were crippled. Even then it took bias umpiring and rule changes made to suit their game plan (6/6/6) and not leaving the G for the last 3 months of the season in order for them to get over the line.
2: Richmond 2017
One of the least talented premiership winning sides of all time. The side literally had Dustin Martin, Alex Rance and a bunch of absolute scrubbers who could chase and tackle. The AFL ensured the "fairy tale" ground breaker with strict instructions for the umpires to look after the Tigers at all opportunities throughout the final series and the AFL themselves ensured that the Tigers would never leave their cheat ground despite them finishing lower on the ladder than two of their opponents.

If Geelong were given home finals would they have won the 14, 16, 17 & 19 flags comfortably.
I am convinced that 100% they would have won at least 3 of the above 4 flags. Let’s look at it more forensically however:

This Vesty needs professional help
I knew we could do it :rollin - 1 more and they will all be in the fetal position if they arent already
-
2017 the free kick count was 17 to 15 our way. Hardly evidence of bias.
We kicked 13 goals to 5 with 7 goals to 1 in the final quarter.
Tough to make a case that Geelong should have won that one. They had their chance and wilted
-
Is Vesty Catman? You know the one who threw a tanty on camera in 2017.
-
I love the "comprehensively smashed" comment regarding out late season match up in 2017. My memory says the 14 point margin flattered them (albeit Selwood and Clangerfield didn't play).
Overall, that's 11/10 salt.
-
We lost Caddy early in that game and still had spuds like C. Ellis in the team.
Towner came in the following week and exploded.

I like this Vesty, probably still drinking the liquor burner coolant from the closed Point Henry Aluminium smelter.

So for in order for us to be regarded as legitimate premiership side in the eyes of oppo flogs we need to somehow:
- play only 10 matches a year the MCG and win all our away games
- win every game by at least 10 goals but also by a kick to prove we can handle pressure (esp. the GF)
- lose every free kick count by 20
- don't recruit any more good players
- have half our list out injured or suspended including all our top players, while every opponent is at full-strength
- have our entire midfield and our rebounding defenders tagged every game
- fiinish undefeated minor premiers but also outside the top 4 and play all finals away inc the GF but still beat Collingwood at some point
Only then can we call ourselves true premiers.... :shh
-
continued ...
- All Richmond supporters to be banned from attending matches. Not fair they have the largest crowds.
- All Richmond memberships to be made null and void. Not fair they have the most members by far.
- Richmond to be banned from free agency, trade period as well as the National, rookie, supplementary preseason and midseason drafts as part of equalisation.
- Richmond's H/A season must be 22 straight interstate games to make the fixture fair.
- If Richmond still finish top then all finals played at a "neutral" venue like the Moon or Metricon where there's atmosphere.
- Dusty has to swap sides at half-time or whenever the opposition is trailing (whichever comes first) to make games fairer.
- If despite all that Richmond still win the premiership then they have to hand the cup over to the runners-up as clearly they must have gained an unknown and unheard advantage yet to be made up by bitter and jealous opposition supporters.

:shh :shh

When the history books are written they will show the winners, the scores, the goalkickers, the best players and the crowd number. It will also show Richmond won its 12th Premiership in 2019. Everything else is worthless. Dont know why our supporters get into those debates on big footy. Theres no need.

And that we’ve won as many flags in the past 3 years that those tragic Pies have won in over 60 years

It's not just one website. The sooking is right across the net from opposition club fan forums to multi-sport forums :lol.
But the overwhelming thing that stood out today, was just how well Richmond play the MCG.
They have player 27 regular season games there over the past two seasons. That's just not acceptable if you are going to insist that all Victorian finals be played there.
27 games played at the same venue....could you imagine if we played 27 games at optus...we would be unbeatable
https://www.eaglesflyinghigh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17869
Yet the Eagles did play 27 games at Optus over the past two seasons :stupid.
23 of them were also genuine non-derby home games against travelling interstate clubs including three finals.
Compare that to just our 8 non-derby home games against travelling interstate clubs including one final (this year's GF in which we were the highest ranked team).
The 2017 flag is tainted. When I use that word it means that it doesn’t carry as much weight as flags won by non-mcg tenants (especially interstate clubs when playing an MCG tenant but also any Vic club).
Cats should have hosted the Pies and they probably would have won and had a week off. Hawkins wouldn’t be suspended and it would have been a Cats v Tigers GF at the Cats home and they probably would have won seeing Tigers only won 55% of away games this year and two of those “away games” were at the MCG.

I find it comical with the selective memory of all the anti Richmond potatoes out there. So much commentary on “they had a dream run with injuries leading into finals.” And their point? Did they forget the number of times we had to basically field our vfl team ? It makes me happy that with the rest of the comp trying to distort the facts and breaking down the quantum maths of how we were able to win 2 flags in 3 years when the answer is quite simple. This is a stuffing good team at the moment and it’s a great time to be a tiger

Richmond are not clearly the best they had the best run at the end aided by 7 games at the G no injuries apart from Rance......Jack Martin will star for Geelong Josh Jenkin exactly what they need and as for WCE my mail is all is not happy with the coin Kelly is getting
Best team or best Charity
Bombed out in a prelim by 10 goals the had the greatest charity fixture in world sport last year and still finished 3rd on the ladder thats who i'm kidding with facts
so getting 10 of the last 11 games at the MCG including in the first 10 rounds playing 8 bottom 10 teams ok got it #Dreamer
In 37 years again - guess what you have a real fixture in 2020 not a charity fixture

Same old Richmond, always cheating
Richmond again they always get fined for this. This is like the fourth time it’s happened maybe a more substantial penalty would be better
Take the flag off the cheats! Lol let the games begin !!!!
Any chance ASADA could fine Richmond 90 points from the Grand Final so my Giants could win by 1? #CantHurtToAsk
Unbelievable. Richmond. Again fined. Where there is smoke there is fire and it's clear why they are so good. Too bad the AFL and the Vic bias so they'll look after Richmond and won't investigate them properly.
Clearly Richmond were on drugs and that's why they won in 2017. Maybe the AFL even sanctioned it because they love there Vic bias.
Yeah drugs and all the games at MCG

And Montagna would know this from all those flags he won at St Kilda ... oh wait! :rollin
Actually, this mentality probably shows why they never won one. Champions and champion teams don't need external motivation. For some, once you taste success you want even more and more. There's the never-ending pursuit of perfection and trying to top and better what you did before. We haven't won back-to-back or threepeats like Hawthorn and Brisbane.
Joey, there's a whole book on the current Richmond mentality, what it means to be a "Richmond man" and what has made us tick since the end of 2016. You should read it rather than making stupid clickbait. There's a love for each other that drives the Club. Each individual is important and special and makes us a better team and club. It's why every Tiger player ran out after the final siren wearing their jumper. Even players that are leaving we try to do what is best for them. It's why Ellis and Butler got to their clubs of choice with no fuss. You don't think those who ran out on Grand Final day aren't thinking of Rance, Graham, Higgins, Stack, Kmac, Ross and co. who missed out on this flag and are wanting to get back there again next year for them.
ps. The irony of Montagna's comment is if Dimma did need to find external motivation then Joey has just provided it :wallywink.
-
Whilst those comments are stupid it is true in my opinion that our club needs to do better on this issue.weve been fined before. Its a bad look imo.
For us it was one player. It could simply be a case of that player telling the club he was going to be in this one location on his holidays and at the last minute things got changed and he ended up somewhere else. It's sloppy but hardly a hanging offence.
As for that crazed Adelaide fan, he would know about players going missing unexpectedly. Happened to the Crows after that power stance during national anthem on Grand Final day 2017 :rollin.
As for his twitter feed: He clearly doesn't have both oars in the water :help.
That win last night was one of the greatest in the history of the AFL. We are the greatest and mentally strongest teams in the AFL. What night and what a club. Even though the Victorian bias umpires tried to cheat, we were too good.

Does on a “good day” mean at the MCG?
WC thrashed the Tigers at Optus in 2018. The Tigers were losing most away games in 2017-2018, off memory it was 5-6 away losses in a row. Even in 2019 they only won 55% of away games and two of them were against fellow MCG tenants.
“Even in 2019 they only won 55% of their away games and 2 of them were against fellow MCG tenants”
Actually they ‘only’ won 67% of their away games in 2019.
West Coast on the other hand won 58% of their away games including 1 against a fellow Optus Oval tenant.
Do you just make this stuff up??
Maths obviously isn’t a strength amongst Tiger fans.
Fortunately B Gale knows basic arithmetic and how lucky he is to have friends in high places that look after his boys.
Tigers won 55% of away games in the H&A 2019.
Tigers won a measly 20% of games on the road (interstate) against weak opposition bar one (Giants).
Total Away Games = 11
Total Away Win/Loss = 6/5 (55%)
Interstate Games = 5
Interstate Win/Loss = 1/4 (20%)
MCG “Away/Home” Games = 3
MCG “Away/Home” Wins = 3 (100%) – no surprise there – Tigers live the MCG and the VFL/AFL and awoke fans know it.
Marvel “Away” Games = 3
Marvel “Away” Win/Loss = 1/2 (33%) – just down the road and against weak opposition.
Tigers @ Marvel beat the Saints and lost to North and Dogs – 1 x Finalist (8th).
Tigers @ MCG beat the Blues, Demons and Pies (Blues and Dees lol) – 1 x Finalist.
Tigers interstate beat the “SUNS” and LOST to Freo, Crows, Port and Giants – 1 x Finalist.
Out of 11 away games the Tigers only played 2 against Top 4 teams (WC played 4) and Tigers won 1 (MCG) and lost 1 (50%) and they only played away against 3 x Top 8 teams in total for 1 win (33%).
Tigers have a terrible away record – gifted fixture and tainted flags if ever there was – but you won’t hear that on the nightly news!
R1 – Blues – MCG – won
R3 – Giants – lost
R4 – Port – lost
R7 – Dogs – Marvel – lost
R8 – Freo – won
R11 – North – Marvel – lost
R13 – Crows – lost
R15 – Saints – Marvel – won
R16 – Suns – won
R19 – Pies – MCG – won
R20 – Dees – MCG – won
Now let’s look at the Eagles away record…
Total Away Games = 11
Total Away Win/Loss = 6/5 (55%) – same as Tigers but much tougher away opponents and venues.
Interstate Games = 10
Interstate Win/Loss = 6/4 (40%) – Tigers (20%).
West Coast @ MCG beat the Pies and Hawks and lost to Tigers by 6 points.
That’s 2 x Top 4 sides with a 50% strike rate (away) and only went down to the “premiers” by one goal on their home deck.
Out of 11 away games West Coast played 4 against Top 4 teams (Tigers 2) and won 1 (25%).
Clearly, West Coast had the tougher draw and yet they still creamed the Tigers in true away win/loss when you factor in quality of opposition and venue.
R1 – Lions (Gabba) – lost

Now that I’ve had time to reflect – Longmire has been a better coach than Dimma this decade.
Clarko, Simmo, Horse, Dimma in that order.
When you accuse others of not being strong in maths, you want to pretty sure you have your figures right. Richmond beat Port and Freo interstate. That makes it 60%. Add in finals and it is 4 out if 6 games or 67%. Did any other club do better?
Perhaps you should have had some sleep instead of posting garbage in the middle of the night.
I’d have Simmo ahead of Dimma. 2 x GF’s against the lower ranked team with the game played on their opponents home ground for one win.
Clarko is clearly in front even with his home ground advantage as he made 4 x GF’s.
Read my latest post (if it passed moderation) above. The numbers speak for themselves.
Tigers have been given a gifted fixture.
Interstate clubs like WC generally have it much harder. WC finished 5th last year and almost all pundits acknowledge that WC has the toughest 2020 fixture – no surprise there!

What did he say after it was pointed out that we beat both port and freo?
Like I said on another thread a while back iv always hated other vic teams over interstate teams due to having to listen to their crap first hand. But with social media and websites such as theroar you really come to realise how the interstate fans love to play the victim card and bring up “vic bias” when discussing literally any topic.

While they ignore the advantage their team gets playing 10 real home games against travelling sides compared to say our 3 which gives them an easier chance to finish higher on the ladder ::).
"Kick a Vic" has always been a SA & WA past time since the old state games before the AFL era. It must though be a modern shock to their system that a club that they've all been use to being crap since the comp. went national is now the biggest club in the land and dominating on-field. Us being a juggernaut with our ability to fill the 'G with 95k Tiger supporters and our incredible record at the 'G must feel like playing a state side when they play us.

This is a really good point MT. We got nearly 60k vs Eages and 70+ vs Lions so the fortress is at least as intimidating as those grounds in SA and WA

Its just jealousy. Thats all.

Yep. We average home crowds of 60k which is virtually double than what more than half of the competition gets to their home crowds. No wonder they fear us and are jealous of us.

Can @Richmond_FC go back-to-back in 2020?
Nah, they blew that chance in 2018. They'll be countered next year far more teams than before. Clubs have had 3 years to shut them down, it'll happen next year you watch.
If Collingwood keep gifting them an easy ride in the granny then yes......
...
Didn’t say it was an easy ride to get there. Richmond were frothing that GWS made it. If we had won (which we didn’t because we were poor) Richmond would’ve had a challenge and not just a fun day of “how much can we win by”
...
Our weakness is clearly rain. If Richmond could choose, they would’ve chosen GWS, because they know we would have given them a challenge. Give us a dry, sunny grand final and we’re at our best. Everyone would agree it was easy for them. But deserving in the end

Not wrong mate and if you listen to the players they are on a mission a big mission they know that had Rich cooked in the prelim but injuries and players not avail cost them
The greatest team of all time fixture wise well done AFL
Should have been 3 but worked out being up for 23 rounds doesn't work
Seriously dreaming Geelong has you covered 30000000%
Agree flags in the bag .....i spoke with Cotch at a business lunch the other day such a ripper bloke i love him
Tigers were brilliant one thing i always recognise is the development of player you dont win a flag unless you bring in 3 or more young player to drive the ship they did brilliant coaching but Balmey the genius

I would not wish it on him, but it is fairly likely he does get injured again. PCL injuries are one of the toughest to return from. Lynch was overrated this year. His output got inflated as the team got better but they didn’t win the flag because of him. That’s not Richmond’s way
Probably do his knee

The AFL fixture is biased towards Victorian clubs
BrightOne
theRoar.com.au
10 December 2019
Every year we see the same headlines pop up.
People talk about which team has the best chance in the upcoming season and which players are rated elite and how the draw can favour one team due to the way they placed the previous year, given that each team plays each other once before the other games to make up the required 22 games per year are allocated.
But the unspoken, ignored injustice of a Victoria-centric landscape of the AFL goes unmentioned.
Maybe the fact that Melbourne had 18 games in Melbourne in 2019 could be ignored or the fact that Collingwood, Richmond, North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs had 17 in their home city is just the way the draw works out.
Then I could be excused for mentioning that Geelong, Hawthorn, St Kilda, Essendon and Carlton all had 16 games in their home city.
But when you see that Adelaide, Brisbane, Freemantle, Gold Coast, Port Adelaide, West Coast, Greater Western Sydney and Sydney all had 12, that’s when the real injustice is seen.
Financially, the more your fans can attend games in your home city, the better. It’s not hard to see why clubs with 16 or more home-city games each season can attract supporters to every game.
Outside of the financial benefits, there is the travel logistics, the impact to player recovery, and costs to teams in terms of impaired preparation.
Think how easy it is each week for teams that can simply drive down the road to play. Then on the flip side, interstate teams need to travel, recover away from home, organise accommodation and be separated from their families and fans.
When drawing up the new season’s fixtures, the AFL does attempt to make the draw fairer by providing teams that finished in the bottom half of the ladder the previous season with fewer games against teams that finished in the top half of the ladder the previous year.
While this does serve as a way to alleviate the symptoms of a team struggling lower in the ladder, it does assume – with the absence of a crystal ball – that teams will perform similarly to the season before.
The issue of draw inequality for non-Victorian teams in regards to games in your home city is a challenging one for the AFL, but it starts by recognising firstly that the inequality is real and that the AFL is not simply a Victoria-centric game.
I understand that most Victorians simply do not care but accepting the problem may go a long way to understand why teams like Greater Western Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast struggle to get a strong supporter base in their home state even when they are successful.

So the solution is that the Victorian teams play their games in other states???
For someone titled "Bright one" the author has not thought this through
-
Im quite happy for Norf and St Kilda to relocate out of Victoria.
-
OK then, but we want Fitzroy & Sth Melbourne back & we will then quite happily go back to being the VFL! WC, Freo, Adelaide, Port, GWS & GC can all start their own competition & survive without all the AFL hand outs & TV rights then!
Goodbye whingers ... & good luck with that!
You wanted to join so we let you ... but we could also change our minds too! :thumbsdown

Lets just secede and we can have a truly international sport. Plus we get rid of Queensland, the IQ of the joint will stuffing soar.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is an absolute hack he [Cotchin] wouldn’t get a game at sides with good midfields like west coast, Giants and Dogs etc. He has had one good year in his career.
He will never be a Brownlow medallist Watson is the worthy winner. Like I said one good year in his career that’s why he got AA. Plenty of spuds play in premierships and there quite a few premiership captains over the years are spuds Cotchin and Maxwell come to mind.
Won’t get any more Richmond’s two premiership era is over but a very good era it was.
He might be a good leader but he is a very average footballer wouldn’t get a game at the dogs.

Hawthorn, c/wood and Richmond are favored by there mates at HQ every year by giving them 7 or 8 home games in a row when every other team has to stuff about. There supporters dont give a toss about the other teams as long as there looked after thats all that matters. A huge example is this : West Coast won the 2018 GF, yet our first game this year was the longest trip in football to Brisbane. Tell me when ever has either of the 3 teams mentioned ever had to travel like that after winning a GF ?? NEVER. At the start of the 2018 season Hawthorn left Melbourne once in the first 8 rounds , this year Richmond got gifted 7 home games in a row at the end of the season WHY ???
Imagine the cry’s and whimpering if the Eagles or Dockers got 8 games in a row at home , the tears would be worse than Noah’s flood. but its ok for the 3 teams though isn’t it – Narcissism at the highest level, bias and totally unfair. You can’t deny it, unfortunately it’s real and factual.

Again these nuffers do not think through the ramifications of their saltiness.
So lets give West Coast games in a row at Optus Stadium.
Then watch the whinging when the Perth based Eagles supporters have to go two months without being able to watch their team in Perth. Not to mention the wear and tear on their players travelling each weekend for two months
-
Or, a golden run with injury (ha!) like Richmond had. A freak year where everything goes right for no particular reason (that's called luck).
PS. I couldn't give a rats how many members Richmond have and frankly if you do, you've been sucked in by the AFL/RFC publicity. There's a reason they don't separate their membership revenue from their merchandise sales in their annual report and that's because they don't want it to be obvious how many limited-access and Auskick memberships they sell. They also sought to increase membership by moving their training ground first to Craigieburn and the Cardinia - that's what a struggling club does, it's not something to be used as a blueprint by strong clubs. There's nothing wrong with Collingwood's membership numbers, we're still the biggest drawing club in the league on match day.
That's why I don't care how many members Richmond has - we're still #1 for BUMS ON SEATS despite them having 17k more members than us. That's why I said you got sucked in by the headline and your response didn't do anything to change my perception of that.

You're kidding, right? Richmond premiership is surely tainted because of massive home ground advantage.
No one battered an eyelid when they were losing for 37 years, same friggen ground mate
Because 7 straight games at the mcg leading into finals is not an advantage when you finish 14th.

Most sensitive AFL supporters award
Kane Cornes
SEN
20 December 2019
Richmond
It was a really tough field for this award, but Richmond fans are the winners. Not only are they the most sensitive, they also have the shortest memory. Whenever something is said about the precious Tigers, such as, “they had the biggest fixture free-kick in the history of the game this year” the text machine lights up with abuse.
You can’t even look sideways at coach Damien Hardwick or any of the players for that matter, even though it was only three years ago that 85% of you Tigers fans wanted the coach and captain gone. It was a really tight race, but the Richmond faithful are very deserving of this award.

The guy is a goose but a cleverish one, pretty simple to bait the biggest and most passionate supporter base to get all the hits he needs and therefore boost his career.
Would love to see the Tiger army just completly ignore him and watch his career go down the drain.

The Cats have already started sooking again.
-----------------------------------
Geelong are gathering evidence to back up their argument to play more than nine home games at GMHBA Stadium in the future.
The Cats have requested to play 11 home games at GMHBA Stadium in the past two years but are happy with the current situation that sees them play nine home games in Geelong and two big-drawing home games at the MCG.
Cook questioned whether the AFL applied the best fit policy in a consistent manner.
"We thought that would be a compromise, and they refused to accept this recommendation and stuck to their 'best fit' policy. I’m not so sure if the 'best fit' policy is a national one – if the 'best fit' policy is the same in NSW when GWS play, or in Brisbane? So we’ve got a fair amount of work to go in that area," Cook said.
The Giants have played all their home finals at Spotless Stadium while Sydney plays all their home finals at the SCG, while the Cats have only played one home final at GMHBA Stadium, playing Richmond in the 2018 qualifying final and Collingwood in the 2019 qualifying final at the MCG despite finishing above them. They lost both games.

This posters slanders goes against everyone one of our coaches, players and administrators. It is slander of the highest order and for the first time ever i actually think our club needs to
Protect itself its players coaches and administrators from this buffoon and his lying slanderous defamations. He needs to be held to account for what his written on the forums.

North Melbourne's Shaun Atley ... said he found it difficult to watch finals football from his couch at home, admitting to feelings of envy watching Richmond players hold up the premiership cup last September.
He said some of his teammates avoided the television set at finals time altogether.
“You definitely get jealous,” he said.
“It can be hard to watch for sure.
“Some of the boys don’t even watch it because they don’t want to get that feeling, but we understand and we know it can turn really quickly.
“But at the same time there’s a lot of work that needs to go in behind that to get to that stage.”

Blight on SEN with Dwayne Russell said footy now is too defensive (wingmen pushed back at centre bounces to bolster the defence and tackling momentum to keep the ball in the forward line is causing more stoppages). A coach one day will go all out attack and change things.
ps. Having said that Blight likes Dimma as what Dimma says has always made sense to Blight.

Our game is based on defense first but once we have the ball it is get the ball as quickly forward by any means.
Would think our game would stand up against anyone trying all out attack. They would be caught out on rebound.

Ed sounds as though he is ready to concede.
-
Poor old Ed.
Really sounds like a politician - setting up false arguments (straw man) that no-one has suggested just so they look silly.
Biggest club from Marvel, Biggest in Western suburbs, most revenue from pokies.
How about highest membership in the whole AFL
How about highest attendance in the AFL
How about highest ratings on AFL telecasts
Thats not a limitation based on venue, home or non-core revenue.
Thats the best in the WHOLE competition we compete within.
Suck it up Ed. oh and best of luck with your salary cap and upgrade subsidies.

Arrogance is saying on live tv, maybe dangerfield should have stayed and he'd be a premiership player. One week before the grand final where they were utterly humiliated. I wonder who did that?
If that's not arrogance then I don't know what is.
You know what, he was right. That's not arrogance. If Danger stayed, the Crows would have beaten Richmond in the 2017 GF. That year, Danger was the dominant brownlow medalist. He was a beast. Add him into that Crows team and they wouldn't have wilted.

Funny that given Dusty was the 2017 Brownlow medallist and Danger didn't stop us beating Geelong in the finals of both 2017 & 2019 on our way to premierships :stupid.
-
More Geelong bias. Dwayne Russell on SEN this arvo claimed Dangerfield was the best player in the AFL and clearly by far the first player to be picked to play for Victoria. He also said Dangerfield was ahead of Buddy and Fyfe was close to him. No mention of Dusty :lol.

Played Crows and GWS in Grand Finals two interstate sides who struggle at the G. different story if they versed a big Victorian club where the MCG doesn’t become so much of a home ground advantage imo.
Are we really living in a world whereby the Tigers are winning the Flag 3 years out of 4…f*** me ?
Time to find another passion !

Bec Goddard is 100% right. Why are the defending premiere playing away round 1? Why weren’t they given the chance to unfurl a premiership flag at home first up?

----------------------------------------------------------
Marlion Pickett is the most over-hyped player in the AFLM. He clearly has some good moves and proved that he is AFL standard, but I have strong doubts that he even plays a lot of senior footy. Injury prone as well, so he will do well to get through preseason.

---------------------------------------------------------
The Tigers' model will pass and it will be a glorious day when it does. Talentless runners pushing, fumbling and knocking the ball forward for meterage and then tackling ravenously will eventually be overcome by an actually talented team who can maintain possession whilst cutting through a zone.
Needs to be a balnce of defensive tacklign and clean ball movement. That's perfect footy. Richmond is everything wrong with footy right now.

Nup Richmond have won this year’s premiership already
Doubt it, they were poo lucky with injuries again last year, all their stars aside from Rance came back, right on cue, they have a lot of luck with injuries long term the tigers, but that cant last. it has to end. Plus they ran into a very lack lustre GWS way outa their depth,buggered after playing one hell of a tough PF against us, plus, we were injury riddled ourselves, the tigers would have been very wary meeting us fully fit with their nemesis Mason Cox out too. Their luck will run out this season, I would bloody well hope so, cant stand the arrogant bastards, like all of us. ::) >:(

It's not electric. It's a bunch of try hard unco's fumbling the ball forward until one of them manages to finally pick the thing up and have a ping. It's not far off unwatchable. Wet weather football in the dry. Perfectly coached to suit the poor skill level. Club has "peaked" at a time when the competition is also weak.
Our game plan stood up in finals, we just were outplayed by two excellent teams in the gf's. There are no top teams at the moment. Beating average interstate sides on your home deck in your gf's is one hell of an advantage. Playing two hot teams like 09 Geel and 10 Coll is a different proposition. All 3 sides would flog the Richmond team of today.
The Geelong side of today would get smashed by the 09 version of Geelong, just like Richmond would.

We were all over them in the prelim final up until half time until our coach lost us the game. Plus we didn't even have Mitch Duncan or Hawkins. They are certainly beatable. I think one of these keys is slowing the game down, they love a fast paced and high intensity game and live off perceived pressure. They are very counter attacking team, so forward half turnovers are fatal when playing them, got to get the ball deep inside 50 and ideally take marks . I think keeping the ball off the ground is a must against them because they play that forward at all cost style and stream forward in waves so they love the ball on the ground and if you are marking it they cant use their pressure game. I think a game style similar to the hawks in their 3 peat years would be very effective against them. Also got to convert inside 50s and shots on goal, while this is relevant against any team, its more so for Richmond as they don't need many inside 50's to hurt teams.

Not too far from the truth this, although I would like to add that Geelong is old and slow, so I think Richmond out-ran them in addition to their couch being an actual potato.
Richmond 100% struggles when they play clean teams that maintain possession and move the ball quickly. This is how we lost to Collingwood in the 2018 PF.

So team's can beat is with Hawthorn's game plan from their premiership years...when we beat them two out three times with an inferior side.... three out of four when you count 2012 when they were runners-up... :shh

The thing we do well is to keep our play up for all 4 quarters. Few teams have been able to go with us and are not consistent enough to ultimately challenge us.

We didn’t lose to Collingwood in the prelim because they played clean and maintained possession. We lost because barring a few players the rest never came out to play.

Most of tigers players are role players and wouldn’t get into a lot of top 8 sides.

'Geelong played Richmond down in round 21 at Kardinia Park in the Tigers premiership year and won'.

Got a lesson from Dusty? What planet are you on? Danger was in the best 2 players on the ground at half time he had given Dusty a bath on ball it’s why the Richmond hierarchy made the change at half time to get Dusty forward cause he was getting carved.
We all know that but this is a new bandwagoners RFC fan here - they have no logic.... Danger even played sore. He certainly wasn’t the reason we lost that night. Put Toma and Mitch back in the side and the result would’ve been different....
Well Bacher got away with his forearm. Some rules for some and different rules for others I guess....
GWS were shot with injuries, illness anyone would’ve beaten them especially if they were playing on their home ground they barely ever leave....

Don't forget the review panel letting Cotchin play that first GF (2017?) when he should have been rubbed out
Totally agree Ricky. This is b.s. and the same again this year. It will never be an even comp as long as this crap fixturing continues. No-one should have the MCG as their home ground.
The difference is GF's aren't played at those grounds. Some teams don't even get a look at the G and even if they do it's only once or twice a season.

Sorry, apparently captains haven’t been announced yet. But they are saying Dusty is the “front runner” for vics. Um no, he’s no leader. If theres anyone who should be, it’s Pendles
lol dusty is no captain. He wouldn't even get captain of his own club.
Yep. Wouldn’t surprise me though, he’s on the front of everything because he’s a fan favourite. If it’s not Pendles, I’ll be fuming

Fyfe and Pickett are the only ones that can be influenced by opinion not purely results on the field.

Richmond have basically copied the Hawthorn formula of drafting a good core, letting it mature and then filling the gaps with ready-made players from other clubs. The single most important ingredient for a “dynasty” is desire; can the players sustain the mental level required to stay at the top? It wouldn’t surprise me if Richmond falter this year, especially if they get a couple of injuries. They’ve had a charmed run over the last couple of years, and a nonexistent opponent in the grand final last year. West Coast in particular will be keen to atone this year, and they’ll be hot on their heels.
Richmond so far following in the Hawks footsteps in the sense that they keep dispatching interstate opponents in the grand final with ease. Be nice to see them challenged by someone while they’re at the top of their game. Eagles and Pies the only two teams who could do that this year I think
This is Richmond’s last year at the top.
You get 4 good years, and if you are super lucky, a 5th.
Essendon had 3 in 1999-2001, Brisbane had 4 ( and by the 4th they were clearly 2nd fiddle to port Adelaide), Geelong had 4 years with a lucky 5th in 2011 (The 2011 team was not dominant), hawthorn had 4 And took 3 flags as a reward.
Richmond should easily have been three-peaters as well.
This is their last year.

5. Richmond a powerhouse?
For decades we enjoyed the shenanigans over at Punt Road. A rotating door of coaches, botched draft picks, manure dumped on their doorstep et cetera. Ah, the good old days. And now Richmond has won two flags in three years as well as powered away in terms of membership figures. As a lifelong Collingwood supporter, this also traumatises me. What we have to truly understand here is the psyche of the Richmond Football Club is about angst, self-loathing and self-detonation. This success thingy in the modern era is an anathema. Let’s disallow these two flags and nature will do the rest. Their flags should be awarded to their opponents – to Adelaide in 2017 and, since GWS is out of the competition, to GWS’s last opponent in 2019, Collingwood.

Great speech Dusty....not
He only stood out as he was on the end of all the hard work of his teammates further up the ground.
Literally stood out and away from other players
I'm curious - is there some predetermined outcome that when Dusty plays in matches that have a BOG award for that match, that he must win it?
There's no way Dusty was the best player tonight. What a crock of poo.
Danger was fantastic out there, he did all the grunt work that led to many goals. Papley with 5 goals probably deserved BOG too. The Bont or Pendles was even better than Dusty,
Seems to be easy option now days - vote for Dusty as he probably did something good...
Probably because all the single cell amoebas which make up the Richmond supporter base voted for him.

I can't be the only one who thinks Dustin Martin is in danger of becoming overrated.
Take away his 2017 season which is looking like one out of the box and he's a very, very good player but a rung below the likes of Sam Mitchell who never garnered anywhere near the same praise despite being instrumental in four Premierships. That Martin was BOG in neither of his Norm Smith winning GF's tells a story, if he wasn't covered in tatts with a ratbag father the media narrative around him would be far more subdued.
Great one-on-one player but his overall output frequently doesn't measure up to his superstar media status. I would draw a comparison with Rioli there, but Cyril at least was spectacular in ways no other AFL player has been. Take out Dusty's stiff-arm and his game is effective but fairly vanilla.

I remember @scotty21 refusing to accept Richmond were any good the year they won the flag. I felt his pain. The incredulity that this laughing stock could be a genuinely relevant team was palpable
I’d say we look more “Essendon” so far this pre-season.
(At Richmond) Hardwick & Caracella have been strongly influenced by Sheedy’s coaching methods.
They’ve been able to modernise Sheedy’s game Style, with tough, uncompromising defensive aggression. And taking players who don’t have the skills and making them valuable role players. Also giving opportunities to indigenous players, and watching them thrive.

Absolutely laughable statement. I know I don’t need to preach to the converted but there’s a reason why opposition players put so much work into him and try and do a 3-1 gang tackle and he’s versatility forward and mid is precisely the reason why he’s in a special league. His 6 goal performance against the Lions was out of this world and the final he didn’t play well in albeit he was injured was against Collingwood and we got smashed in the middle.
Unlike other powerful midfielders like Fyfe and Dangerfield what sets Martin apart is how good his kicking is. He goes for these insanely difficult kicks which don’t always work and then people have a sook and say his DE% is low but he has absolutely demolished teams with his field kicking alone

No. Hes not even the best player in the league now. He just plays in Victoria.

Couldn’t disagree more Jay. Dustin Martin is way too overrated. Everyone needs to watch his games more closely. The amount of cheap goals he gets sitting in a goal square unattended, the limited possessions he gets per game he is nowhere near the stratosphere of Dangerfield and Fyfe. They influence and turn games literally by themselves. Dangerfield 1, Fyfe 2 and then daylight. The Bont influences games far more than Martin ever does. As soon as he goes into the centre, he gets the ball every time and the game changes and the same applies to Cripps, he just doesn’t have enough good players around him yet but he does far more work and carries everyone on his shoulders. A ton more than Martin ever has.
Hes not. He built a reputation in 2017 and we are looking at him and pretending that he is still the same player. Fyfe and Dangerfield are top two and the rest debatable, but Dusty shouldn’t even be on the list. How many of the best players dont make All-Australian after a complete season. None. All the other players who missed out got injured in some way, shape or form and Dusty couldn’t even beat Walters for a spot at half forward.
I agree. Martin was ordinary for most of the year last year, and is good at getting easy goals. He’s not the bloke you stick in the guts who drags his team over the line, like Fyfe, Danger, Cripps and Bont.
Dusty hype has reached fever pitch.
I watch them every week. He does bugger all for 3 1/2 quarters and then pops up on a flank with a good kick inside 50 and everyone goes nuts. Where was he when his teammates were doing the hard stuff for the rest of the game?
If you want to see a bloke who stands up when it’s counted just watch Cripps drag his team over the line last year. That bloke is a super player, and for mine he’s on a par with Fyfe for number one.
I would add that the truly great players tend to make the others around them better whereas I reckon Dusty benefits more because he plays with good players.

Too funny
The Martin Bio on the club website has Dusty rated as elite for disposals, Marks, Kicks, Clearances. The only stat he is rated below average is tackles
Some people cannot see the truth from behind their blinkered view
-
People just have selective memories. His goal against Richards when he kept his feet and kicked us into the final, when he pantsed Tom Stewart in the qualifying and surged it forward which got us the goal, the fact he gets scragged and illegally blocked when other players who play the same position get free kicks.
Some people just love to hate

No doubt they'd all be livid if their clubs somehow managed to poach him... :shh

Let's assume there will be a 2020 "season". Richmond's one and only on-field success is having zero injuries. (They are a crap side who plays crap football, in an era of AFL mediocrity, which has devalued the AFL premiership.)
The question is how this weird "season" would affect injuries. You could say, "They'll all be injury-free but unfit when it starts, so the one Richmond advantage is wiped out." But you could also say, "There will be 'games' played every 4 days in a crazy circus with no time for recovery from injury and with fitness being key also, so Richmond have the advantage."
You decide which of those arguments you think is more convincing...
I think they'll struggle from now on

If the AFL season was continuing, today would have been the first time Richmond would have played outside Melbourne since July 6 2019, some 9 months ago #plumdraw
To be fair I don't follow Richmond so forgot they had Brisbane in week one of finals... Doesn't hide the plum draw though, a draw that won them the premiership last year
It helps when you play all those sides at the MCG though. For example, playing west coast in Perth puts them favourites and if they win that you likely finish 5th and it's much harder. 10 straight weeks at home with no travel had them primed and fresh compared to others
I don't know how I can make this simpler for you to understand.
When you had a fair draw: you were 8th
When you got every game at your home ground: you went up to 3rd
That's the point, it couldn't get any easier
You did not finish the season with 10 games at home in a row in 2016. False comment..
Apologies - last 7 at MCG, which lifted the side from 6th to 3rd. Do you not think having so many games at your home ground in a row was a huge contribution to your premiership win?
Best team at the MCG by a long way yes. It's not Richmond's fault they are based at the G but they play so well there any having so many games there is a huge advantage
Well yes but you guys play so well there and not so well anywhere else. Like WCE played better at Subiaco than Fremantle despite it being both their homes. Obviously it helps playing so many games at a ground you play the best at

The Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide have been “instructed” they will have to play games interstate when the AFL season resumes as Adelaide Oval is “too big an advantage”, reports FIVEaa’s Stephen Rowe.
Rowey told FIVEaa Breakfast’s David & Will on Monday:
“How’s the VFL -- I’m not going to call them the AFL in this story. Adelaide is a monte to be an AFL hub. We know an announcement of return to play date due by the end of this week.
“Crows and Port have been instructed they’ll have to play interstate as Adelaide Oval will be too big an advantage, they said. Um hello? Richmond and Collingwood at the MCG.
“Give me a spell. Come on, fair dinkum.”
PENBO: “Richmond played 10 games in a row at the MCG in the lead up to last year’s Grand Final. That’s an outrage.”

Kane Cornes on Footy Classified tonight pulling out his broken record and having another sook about us and the MCG ::).
'It's not fair that Richmond (and Collingwood) play 14 games at the MCG every year.'
'The fixture lacks integrity when Richmond plays the last 7 games at the MCG running into finals.'
Caro tried to reply that there's 10 team in Victoria and that Richmond travelled as much interstate as any other Victorian side. When Caro asked Cornes where Richmond should play Victorian sides he replied "Marvel" :stupid.
Caro also said Adelaide & Port have a bigger home grund advantage than Richmond which Hutchy laughed at saying Richmond are virtually unbeatable at the 'G. Caro replied that's only now because they are such a strong side and no one was complaining about this when Richmond couldn't hit a pie for 30 years. Hutchy could only say that Caro despite the lockdown brought her Tiger scarf with her which the others (Lloyd & Cornes) laughed at.
Lloyd also sooked about the quality of today's footy and finding quality players which Caro countered by mentioned us and Marlion Pickett. Lloyd replied 'but you're only talking about Richmond again'.
Oh boo hoo Lloydy :nopity. Essendon being crap for the past 20 years doesn't make today's footy worse than the 90s :sleep.

Geelong lost to Freo at the MCG the previous year and they spent 12 months sooking about that final not being played at Kardinia Park. So the AFL gave the Cats their wish and they still lost again to Freo :lol.
It kept them quiet for a few years until we beat them in 2017. Now they sook all the time about us. I'd guess we can thank them for 6 of our last 8 flags as we've regularly beaten them in finals on the way to glory ;D.

Back in the early 2000's, my mates & I got into a fair few Richmond games for free as their "fans" left at qtr/half time, we'd get their passouts & go watch at least a half of footy.

7 Melbourne based game is a row, 4 flags in a row. Then chase the cash.
None, but Dusty wins all the Norm Smiths anyway.
Dusty lace out to Richo in the goal square. Richo with the spray off the boot. No flags
I'm not sure how many flags but I do Richo would have kicked just as many behinds.
None because Richo would keep hitting the post
All of them because today's tigers never leave the g

Port Adelaide Captain Tom Jonas On Victorian Bias In The AFL Fixture
“It’s very Victorian biased,” Jonas said of the fixture on the Rush Hour with Bernie and Jars.
“I mean we travel, what, eight times a year, we travel twice in pre-season, like is that really necessary? We’ve got a two day trip up into Brissie.
“So there’s a little bit of a lack of balance, but you just gotta learn to live with it because it doesn’t seem to change too much.”

It’s a pathetic discussion. From whatever side of the border(s) you view it, lift your sights. The Vic teams play more games in their own state, the non-Vics play more one-team home games in theirs. Show me what flags haven’t been won by the best team.

By the end of 2017 if we had to play Adelaide 10 times we would have beaten them 10 times. They lost the grsnd findl by 48 should have been 12 goals. Irredpective of where it was played Richmond would have won and comfortably.

I think Crows would have won if it was at AO. Tough titties tho. Don't see the Crows of '97-'98 sooking, nor the Lions of '01-'03. West Coast has 4 premierships in the AFL ffs.
GWS last year would have lost anywhere in the world they were so scared.

West Coast premiership coach Adam Simpson admits the fixturing makes it "difficult” for interstate clubs to be successful.
“This day and age with the 18 teams in the comp, the way the fixturing is, it’s difficult to win from interstate.

“One thing we don’t do is we don’t want to whinge, we don’t want to complain about it, it is what it is and we get on with it, we like to think that’s how we project things over here, but you know, there’s a challenge to it.”

Sam Duncan is a lecturer in sports media and marketing.
The Age
May 10 2002
The AFL is an 18-team competition. Ten of the 18 teams are in Victoria. So, exactly how would the non-Victorian teams like the season to be structured? If all other clubs bar one are based in states outside of yours, guess what? You’re going to have to travel a lot.
Then there’s the matter of the home ground advantage. All non-Victorian teams have a distinct home ground advantage that most Victorian teams are simply not afforded. Take the Eagles, for example, who play 11 home games a year in front of 60,000 passionate, vocal, parochial fans, 90 per cent of whom are fervently barracking for them. For every home game, except the local derby against Fremantle, they have the added advantage of playing on a ground they are far more familiar with than their travelling opponents.
This advantage is something Victorian teams don’t always have. Sure, a Victorian team will play home games against non-Victorian teams, but at least half of their home games throughout the year are neutralised by playing against other Victorian teams.
This unfair advantage really comes home to roost in the finals, where non-Victorian teams can march into the grand final off the back off consecutive home finals, while Victorian teams are often left to battle it out against other Victorian teams on neutral grounds.
In 2018, West Coast, having finished second on the ladder, rightly hosted lower-ranked teams Collingwood and then Melbourne in Perth on their way to the grand final. The fact they were playing travelling teams was a huge advantage. Back in Melbourne, top-placed Richmond played their "home" preliminary final against lower-ranked Collingwood at the MCG, which happens to be Collingwood’s home ground. The home ground advantage was neutralised and importantly, so too was the crowd support. Richmond lost.
The fact the grand final is always played at the MCG and that clubs such as Richmond are afforded the luxury of playing seven consecutive weeks at the MCG while others are forced to travel every second week is a rusted-on bugbear of non-Victorian teams. And to be honest, the second of these gripes is fair enough.
But it seems some of the complaints non-Victorian teams have are less about the issue of fairness and more about the realities of playing in an 18-team competition, with 10 teams based in one state.
Yes, it’s odd having strange advantages and disadvantages inherently and unavoidably built into the season. But unfair? I don’t think it would be fair to say that it is.

It's all been set up for a Richmond finals berth again how many premierships will the AFL give this team. 2019 the most hollow premiership in AFL history

Mate, Geelong have won three flags in the last 20 years and have been consistently competitive throughout that whole time.
Richmond has been a meme up until 2017 when they got blessed by the AFL with a string of good luck.

Which match-up would you like to see restart the 2020 Toyota AFL Premiership Season?
Not Richmond sick of seeing them start the season don't need to see them restart the season either
Wow two flags in a couple of years big deal. Flogs
Definitely two Melbourne based clubs, because it’s important to remind everyone that while there is the appearance of a national competition it’s still really just the VFL in disguise.
Not Richmond Carlton anymore please God move on
I’d like to see Gill take on the entrenched bias against non Victorian teams.

So typical of @7AFL and @Stevo7AFL in their news story tonight. 18 clubs in the comp and of course they have to interview someone from their beloved Richmond. #youloverichmond #biasedreporting #17otherteams
And? Anything and everything has to involve Richmond. Other clubs input is of value but @7AFLand @Stevo7AFL
don't seem interested. Other clubs when they've been premiers never got the AFL and media love like Richmond.

The answer is simple. There's too many Victorian teams.
We're in a 'national' competition and over half of the teams are from one state.
Didn't say they should go.
The inclusion of Tasmania and another team would make it a 20-team league. That's more travel for these clubs, and there's a chance for a 19-week fixture. That's a lot more equality than what we're currently getting.
I think they could avoid a team having a seven-game run at the MCG going into finals.

This actually isn't a bad idea IMO. Just FO two useless teams like North + Saints to NT and Tas, merge GCS into them both so that their lists are half competitive. 8 Vic teams, 2 WA, 1 QLD (GC dying), 2 NSW, 1 NT, 1 Tas, 2 SA.
17 teams, just play 16 games each with a rotating bye and go straight to final 8. Half of the teams are dead in the water after mid-season anyway are just competing for better draft picks...

Heard the latest rubbish from the @AFL.
In summary, WA and SA clubs to QLD, all Victorian and NSW clubs stay put. So, no home games for WA and SA sides, but home games for the rest. That's fair and equal for the #AFL. 2020 will be known as the most compromised season ever.
Gil, has done it, made the Afl become the stuffing Vfl once again.....he can kiss my arse
Yep. I'm out. The Victorians will be happy, and that's all that counts for the @AFL.
I'm sure Richmond supporters will be peeed off at playing the remaining 16 games at the MCG.
And absolute joke. Just a cash cow now, a pathetic excuse of a competition.
I hear ya, been watching the sports reports here in SA, reporting that they would be forced to relocate interstate etc not long after the "illegal" training hub the crows were spotted EVEN THOUGH here in SA we can gather in groups of 10, so the vics sooked about that
Well the Vic sides can't relocate, the players are far too soft for that. They need to be with their mums. They all sleep in bunk beds with the lights on.
Cant play away from the MCG now
Probably got Richmond already engraved on the 2020 Premiership cup.

Alex Rance vs Matthew Scarlett!
You can only take one to build your team around, who would you take?
Tigers fans Rance, everyone else Scarlo
Scarlett and it really isn’t close.
How is that even a question, Scarlett by a mile
Scarlett by the length of the Flemington straight
Not sure why everyone has a love obsession with rance
Scarlett actually played on a player. Rance is like a cattle dog running around the outside of everyone
Let’s start doing some close comparisons, yeah? Scarlett with absolute ease.
Matthew Scarlett, professional Defender and played the game properly, he's not a diver, nor a quitter.
So silly. Rance needs a defender to help him, so clearly your not building a team around him
Is there a quota the Herald Sun must meet to mention Alex Rance per week? Scarlett easily.
Rance is better at simulation and that’s it.
GOAT?
You having a giraffe mate
Scarlett competes with Silvagni mate.. Rance is a tool and average
Scarlett could probably defend Mason Cox in an important game.
Scarlett easy. He actually defended as well as created..

It’s funny how many Richmond supporters can’t just cop it on the chin that Rance wouldn’t even rate top 5 defensive player in the modern era by many, many people.
Get over it you sook.
Rance the most over rated defender in the modern era though for sure.
I wouldn’t feed Rance if he was starving. The most overrated player of the century.

'Rance' has been trending top 5 in Australia all day today on twitter thanks to salty opposition fans like these.

I seriously wonder what sort of game people are watching. His effort against Sydney? Him shutting down the Adelaide forward like in 17 grand final? Arguably he was actually so good at being a one on one defender (or one on 7 in that 2016 gws annihilation) that from memory they realised that structures and processes over 6 seperate 1vs1 was essential for overall team success

First defender to ever get tagged from a key defensive post. These bozos have no idea. Jealousy is running deep during this period of Tiger domination.

The Vic-centric AFL discriminates against WA clubs
Morgs
theRoar.com.au
25 May 2020
It happens every year: the much anticipated AFL fixture release.
Footy fans all across Australia eagerly await it. But when they finally get released the excitement quickly turns to frustration outside Victoria.
“Those damn Victorians!” I hear as I walk past a pub adorned with Eagles and Dockers scarves. This is the injustice that is consistently occurring in Aussie rules: the Victorian-central landscape of the AFL.
I grew up here in Perth and have lived here my whole life. What’s not to love – great beaches, fantastic weather, plenty of space, lots happening and a stellar sporting history in several codes.
But what I do not love is the way non-Victorian AFL teams and especially West Australian footy teams are treated.
AFL in our great state is a religion. Simple as that. It’s alright that you don’t know what is happening with politics or the news, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know who our premier or even the prime minister is.
But it is not alright if you don’t know who the Eagles beat at the weekend. My dad and mum brought me and my two brothers up in a diehard Eagles household. There haven’t been many Eagles home games I haven’t attended.
Freo – as much as I despise them during the derby – are a team with serious potential, but due to being discriminated against haven’t been very successful. I wouldn’t want to go as far as to say that it is akin to being treated like a second-class citizen, but it’s not much better.
Last year the Melbourne Demons had a whopping 18 home-city games out of 23. All other Victorian teams (the nine of them) had either 16 or 17 home-city games. Whereas the eight interstate teams had just 12. Yes, you read that right – 12!
I get that it is hard to run a multi-million dollar national sports league. And yes, with 18 clubs all spread out over the sixth largest nation by area in the world, it is sure to have some challenges.
Balance is a tough goal. I understand the AFL was founded in Melbourne and started off as the VFL with only Victorian teams, but more needs to be done.
Take the MCG deal, for example. The AFL signed a contract in 2013 stating that all grand finals until 2057 are to be played at the MCG in Melbourne.
This is mind-boggling. In pretty much all other sporting codes globally – the NFL, NBA, and locally the BBL and NBL – the grand final is never played at one set location, and different teams and cities share it.
If all these organisations – some multi-billion dollar leagues – can do it, then why can’t the AFL? It is the fairest way.
Former West Coast legend and AFL hall of famer Glen Jakovich said this about the deal: “If you want a truly national competition you have to adhere to what the national competition means, if a team earns the right to hold the grand final and they have got the stadium to facilitate the grand final then they hold it. That’s what the national competition in equalisation means.”
Take the recent COVID-19 fiasco. When the AFL temporarily suspended the season back in March, they said that players could only train with one other person (non-contact) per all states’ laws at the time.
On April 26, WA became the first state in Australia to start to ease these restrictions thanks to outstanding testing, low cases, and correct isolation and social distancing. So that would mean the Eagles and Dockers could train (non-contact) in groups of ten, right?
You thought wrong. The AFL said WA clubs can’t do this until all states allowed this, citing this as an unfair competitive advantage. Yet the Eagles and Dockers have to travel 3000 kilometres every second week while Dustin Martin wakes up and drives ten minutes to the G, 18 out of 23 games.
Port Adelaide great Kane Cornes couldn’t have put it better: “God forbid WA clubs get an unfair advantage. These are the guys that travel four hours on a plane every second week while Jack Riewoldt sleeps in his bed for 14 weeks of the season playing games at the MCG.”
This is another bang-on comment from Cornes proving how Vic-centric the AFL actually is.
To no surprise, Cornes’ comments were slammed by Victorian AFL dinosaurs like Matthew Richardson and Eddie McGuire.
Eddie McGuire, the president of Collingwood, is the only president from all clubs that regularly commentates AFL games. But even worse in 2018 he was flown out to Perth to commentate the western derby. Yes, the western derby.
It just doesn’t seem fair for a direct employee – especially a senior one – of a competing AFL club to be commentating on other teams’ games. It is biased and unfair and puts the wrong ideas in people’s heads.
The bias stems from the media. Commentators like McGuire were around when the VFL became the AFL. They are still caught up in the past. They want it to be VFL-centric.
The AFL needs fresh perspective, equality and new, innovative thinking to make the AFL more national and inclusive.
But with people like McGuire in the media, on footy shows and commentating, it is going to be hard to achieve. The AFL needs to do more to make this great game of ours more national and inclusive.

Very reliant on Jack Riewoldt. Look how average they became when he was injured last year. Tom Lynch looked slow and cumbersome too without Jack doing the hard yards. Not getting younger Jack. Still a good side who will contend but suspect the end is nigh. Despite the shallow thoughts of some who look at average age as their mantra it means nought if the youth don’t step up. If this season gets derailed then the wheels will wobble next year if not fall off. As we found with the Hawks, average players can look better than they are when surrounded by very good but ageing senior players and an out and out champion in Dusty. Even the great Dusty is ageing now.

I think it has to do with opposition fans being genuinely miffed as to how this Richmond team ( with a few top end stars but a lot of honest players ) have been able to achieve multiple flags...With us & the Hawks it was a non issue because we had genuine superstars on every line & winning just made sense.... Whereas with this Tigers team the narrative is that they are successful because of the MCG advantage...I don’t subscribe to this theory at all, but it gets profligated often from what I read/hear.
Exactly, you admit it's not an even playing field. That [GF at the MCG] is the reason people say Richmond have been successful, because of the rules of the league, not that their team has been that good.
2019 was better, but 2017 definitely was not deserved. They got pumped by Adelaide away that year, along with losing @ GWS, @ PA, @ Fremantle I think
But why should any team deserve home ground advantage?
I’ve thought it for years
Play it at defending premiers home state
So I would’ve had Richmond vs gws at Perth stadium

The six MCG clubs are set to cash in from a shock multi million dollar deal
Vic bias
Geelong should never have to play a home game against an MCG tenant, at the MCG ever again. It's called a home and away season for a reason. Good luck to these MCG tenant clubs in getting this money, but you can't have it all....
Another example of an inequitable competition.
So the AFL agrees to play the GF at the MCG for 40 years and the tenant clubs already advantaged by that arrangement get a loyalty payment from the MCG. Get stuffed

Very well summed up. The only thing I would seek verification of is a comparison of Richmond’s recent interstate record to the other big Melbourne Clubs.
A fair question. Collingwood are probably the only reasonable comparison given Carlton and Essendon have been poor over the same period, but here goes.
They’re [RICH] 2-4 at the Adelaide Oval, 1-1 at Optus Stadium, 0-3 at Giants Stadium and 0-1 at GMHBA Stadium. Even just down the road at Marvel Stadium (7-4) they haven’t been as consistent. Only the Gabba (2-0) and Metricon Stadium (3-0) have been happy hunting grounds.
COL: 8-2 at Marvel, 2-1 at Adelaide, 2-1 at Optus, 2-1 at SCG, 0-2 at Giants, 2-0 at Gabba, 2-0 at Metricon
ESS: 17-9 at Marvel, 2-1 at Adelaide, 2-3 at Optus, 0-3 at SCG, 1-2 at Giants, 2-0 at Gabba, 3-0 at Metricon
CAR: 5-17 at Marvel, 0-3 at Adelaide, 1-1 at Optus, 1-2 at SCG, 0-1 at Giants, 0-2 at Gabba, 2-1 at Metricon
Given the Tigers have won two premierships in this span, the fact their record is comparable to sides who have four combined finals appearances across the same span is damning.
Good point Stirling. It’s definitely something they need to turn around. Dimma has always said….any team, anywhere, anytime but they need to back up with results.
https://www.theroar.com.au/2020/06/05/four-burning-questions-for-richmond-ahead-of-the-afl-restart/
Will crowds be allowed at North Melbourne’s game against GWS at Giants Stadium on June 14?
AFL will knock it back due to being unfair because 300 people might influence the result. But Grand final always at Richmond's home ground is fine.

Ridiculous, if fans are allowed to attend in one state let them go. If you want equalisation you wouldn’t have a hub for 4 clubs and you wouldn’t give Richmond after playing 12 of their last 14 at home an away game against WC in QLD.

I actually dont reckon they are all that great, one of the worst premiership teams ever, really, we can beat em, but not if we miss easy goals as we have tonight.
Lynch can basically do as he pleases. Rules don't seem to apply to him unless of course they're in his favour.
Lynch cheated for 2 goals.
Tigers are not that great, or flash, but umps seem to love the bastards.
It’s disgusting what the umpires let Martin get away with,
You'll notice what a talentless rabble Richmond are; their entire skillset evolves around scragging players off the ball when they aren't in possession, while the maggots let them get away with it.

Looking at their team tonight, I didn't realize how weak it looked without Dustin Martin.
So many key players are in their 30s too, like Cotchin, Riewoldt, Edwards and Houli, with Grimes, Lynch, Pickett, Caddy, Prestia, Astbury and Martin in their late 20s.
Can they really keep up the pace this year? Or next year for that matter?
https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/are-richmond-hitting-the-slope.1241312/
Lol it looked weak at the 2017 GF. Every player who got called up was “who?”.... “who?”
Hasn’t hurt them
Richmond are done. Riewoldt, Houli and Cotch look past it and Dusty can't stay fit.
Long decade ahead.
Just like corona virus the Richmond curve is flattening!
Worrying signs. All the hype around Stack, Pickett, Bolton, Rioli, Graham .... the next wave to take them into a long period of success 😂😂😂😂😂.
Cotchin moves like he is older than Burgs!
Richmond's team has always been a bunch of largely talentless, skillless, useless pricks who got a winning culture driven into them through extreme running, pressure and knocking the ball forward at all costs. That gameplan only worked because it had a few stars to act as the circuit breaker when things weren't going their way m- Dusty, Rance, Riewoldt etc.
Now theres no Rance, last night there was no Dusty and they are beginning to be exposed for what they are. The same bottom 8 team they've been for the last decade with a conditional hunger for the ball. They're still the same bums who can't kick a footy, can't take a mark. They're still the average Asbury's of the world. The conditional Caddy's. The can't-stand-up Castagnas. The bad-news Broad's. The worst-in-the-family Rioli.
They're done. Hope you enjoyed your time in the spot-light Tiget fans because it's over.
Given they hijacked the Ross Lyon gameplan, its no surprise they are.
Lucky they got 2 premierships out of it, will make the pain more bearable.
Did anyone real see either premiership team as all-time great lineup?
The Tigers did well to capitalise on a good gameplan, but they're nothing more than a reasonable team largely carried by Martin, a few other A-graders and then a whole bunch of disciplined roleplayers. They also happen to play an exorbitant number of games at the MCG, which gives them a nice little advantage through any finals series they participate in.
I suspect they are pretty much done as genuine premiership threat.
Cotchin won his Brownlow in 2012 and didn't play anywhere near that level across either 2017 or 2019. He's now slowing down and virtually a bit player himself. Rance fair enough, though overrated, Riewoldt was a very good player who is currently in complete free fall.
Lynch, Grimes, Prestia, Edwards are all good players - no question (I'd add Houli in here too, though soft, as we saw last night). After that there is a big drop off in quality. I'd say between 10-12 C-D graders who make the most of their limited talent or are fairly young - that's a huge amount for a supposedly dominant team. Someone like Soldo wouldn't make the best 22 in any other team in the AFL, to show you the unusual mechanics of the Richmond lineup.
The team has looked complacent in each of the games they have played so far, but that's not a bad thing at this point of an already compromised season. They can still correct whatever it is that's bringing about this current malaise.

Some valid points with a truck of poison.
Need to respond next week.

From the Herald-Sun comments section of their Lynch article:

After watching Lynch last week the Tigers can have him. Oh and let’s not forget the Tigers offered considerable more money to him
Let it go. He's a solid fwd, good for 50-60 goals per year. He's not Tony Lockett.
He’s not the biggest free agent ever, what about Ablett and Franklin
Is it possible for HS to feature other clubs and players other than RICHMOND, RICHMOND and RICHMOND!!!!!
-
Bugger it. If the Lions had hit even half of those early missis they would have ended up running all over these flogs.
Richmond 2017-20 are the closest thing to Essendon 2000 I can remember.
Geelong 2007-2011. Tougher, better skilled, more invincble.
Richmond were, and are, a we coached team of good average players with a few superstars to drag them over the line.
i remember people saying after 2017 win that they were the worst premiers ever almost.
they went to a prelim the next year not losing many games
they wont it last year with alot of injuries disrupting the first half of their season.
They will probably be the team to beat this year at the business end.
Think people need to wake up and realise maybe just maybe they are you know not just a team filled with average players with a “couple” of superstars.
cos you could technically make a case that that is any side. you could say that about geelong, hawthorn, brisbane if you really wanted to, doesn’t make it any more true than it does now.
mmm I think Geelong, Hawks and Brisbane had better cattle across each and every line than what Richmond does.
Richmonds success is an indictment on the rest of the competition, more than anything imo,
Richmond just never take the pedal off, they are the anti essendon, just one gear all game
Once they build a small lead they’ll just keep at you, it’s awesome to see
The Essington hangover strikes again.
We are such a blight on the game we lull ■■■■■■ teams into faux form, when really they got used to not having any pressure applied to them for a game then get shellacked when playing a real football team full of actual footballers.
Richmond will kick over 100 against us.
We legit might not even score Dreamtime
Can we forfeit the Dreamtime game?
the only highlight I see is if Martin breaks his arm doing a high fend off.
I’m really ■■■■■■■ sick of Richmond
Townsend to grab his fend off arm and pull it out of his socket as he’s getting brought to ground

'He thinks he's that good': Mitch Robinson takes aim at Lynch
By Michael Whiting
afl.com.au
19 August 2020
BRISBANE hardman Mitch Robinson has taken aim at Richmond star Tom Lynch for his on-field behaviour and decision to join the Tigers.
Lynch was fined $2000 for two separate striking incidents in Monday night's win over Gold Coast.
It came just two weeks after he copped a $500 fine for shoving Alex Witherden's head into the ground while the young Lion wasn't watching.
After a Twitter post showed Gold Coast defender Sam Collins not flinching at attempted intimidation from Lynch, Robinson responded: "why would he, there's no ground to push it into".
Why would he, there’s no ground to push it into.
— Mitch Robinson (@MitchRobinson05) August 17, 2020
Then on his Twitch gaming livestream, Robinson responded in no uncertain terms to a question suggesting Lynch was the Greatest Of All Time.
"Is he? Do you know him do you…" Robinson said.
The veteran wingman then took aim at Lynch's decision to leave the wooden spoon Suns at the end of 2018 and join the Tigers via free agency.
"He went to a good team to get success, that's what he did," Robinson said.
"He went to a premiership team and thinks he's that good."

The hatred right now is extreme and I love it.
Can't hit up radio, Facebook, TV or internet without some carrying on about how dirty our players are, snipers, dogs, love children, kissed on the willy by fate/injury gods/umpire's/MRO.
I love it.
More than ever I want to win the flag this year so we can smoosh it in their faces another 12 months. All stuffing summer

Would be great Andy.
It’s definitely ramped up like never before. I assume it was like this in 60’s and 70’s
These idiots just gave us a bit more ammo :thumbsup

3aw replayed Daniel Harford saying Richmond are showing a brittleness this year and that we're perhaps not coping with being the hunted.

Makes me laugh honestly do these people look at our line up and the outs we have and outs we have had all year or it's only pies with injuries .For us still challenging for a top 4 spot fair effort.

What about the fact the boys haven’t been home for months?? And some would be missing their families.
I’d be a little crappy too living out of a suitcase for that long.
Just because these guys play a sport for a living or get paid well, doesn’t mean things don’t get hard for them.
I love our aggression, I love that Lynch isn’t putting up with poo and I loved what Dimma said.
He wasn’t saying it was soft that he cried, he was saying it was weak for giving up so early in a GF.
Stuff the lot of them.

Bomber fans on SEN sooking post-game calling Grimes & Floss divers :huh3 . ::)

Some of our supporters are as bad as the oppos the abuse levelled at Dan Rioli from our supporters last night on forums was a disgrace. So we can talk about what the oppos say but we are almost as bad.

Clearly directed mainly at me Ramps? Yes or No?
With respect, it seems it is OK for you or anyone else to continually criticise RFC players they don't like or rate for whatever reason but if someone is critical of a player you or someone else likes then they are as bad as opposition supporters?
Dan Rioli made a very poor decision last night that against a really good opponent would most likely cost us a game. He deserves to be criticised for that. Up until that point he had played a good game but that was extremely poor option he took and thankfully didn't cost us
I understand that the term I used in one of my posts "Shame on you" has upset you and you have voiced that anger towards me on another thread. And I'll chop that....
But since then you have indirectly continued your rage towards me and that is your prerogative as seen in this post. But I am not you can have it both ways. You can't constantly "bag or pot" players you don't rate and then get furious when anyone criticises a player you rate.
Just my take

No. Primarily at the numpties on other forums who seem to forget that footy is just a game.

Grimes has been getting death threats and direction to commit suicide. I hope the Police track these pricks down and criminal charges are laid. Callum Ward copped it from the same club supporters. Unacceptable at any walk of life. They need to be made an example of.

The same supporter base that regards Louganis Lloyd as a legend.... :shh

The media are on a witch hunt on us big-time with Lynch etc beyond a joke.Club should make a media ban fullstop teach them a lesson.The same thing happen last year when that peanut Barrett was pushing for us not to get a first round pick for Ellis.

Worsfold had a sook in his presser last night:
The normally reticent Worsfold made it clear he thought it was a dubious decision to award Richmond defender Dylan Grimes a free kick for a push in the back when he fell forward, as McDonald-Tipungwuti took a chest mark over the back of a pack and ran into an open goal.
Bombers coach John Worsfold says umpire's decision had a "massive impact" on the outcome of the game.
He said the decision had a "massive impact".
"It obviously was something pretty drastic to overturn a kick like that. Unfortunately that is the way the umpires called it and we have to cop that, but it was a pretty critical part of the game," Worsfold said.
https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/dubious-decision-halted-bombers-momentum-john-worsfold-20200822-p55oda.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the media promoted and encouraged the sooking last night.
3aw replayed Jordan "#freekickHawthorn" Lewis last night saying Grimes & Floss staged.
Then add this article from the AFL website:
Staging Tigers?
Players have been trying to con umpires forever but in a low scoring game the impact of a mistake can be huge.
No one can know for certain the impact a player feels but Vlastuin threw his head back after he copped a slap from Tom Bellchambers when the game was tight. He won a 50-metre penalty for contact that looked minimal and kicked a goal.
A push in the back was awarded to Grimes after McDonald-Tipungwuti had goaled in the second quarter when the contact looked slight. It didn't change the result but it was frustrating to watch.

Callers to SEN in the last half an hour:
Bombers fan: "I don't care what anyone says, everyone knows Grimes & Vlastuin staged for those frees."
Pies fan: "How did the tribunal make that decision to let both Richmond players off especially when one is a well known recidivist? Thursday night is going to be the stagers vs the duckers. Let's see how these Richmond fans react when Shuey ducks for frees like he did to win that final after the siren against Port."

At least the employees ;D of the club know and follow the covid rules.

From SEN txts:
"Thomson Dow only looked good because he was surrounded by a premiership team. Let's see how good he would be if he was playing for Adelaide."
"Dustin Martin is nowhere near the best player in the AFL. Dangerfield is as he has a much higher footy IQ than Martin."

Mitch Robinson: I absolutely respect Tigers and have no issue with Lynch
By Jake Niall
The Age
September 23, 2020
Brisbane's colourful veteran Mitch Robinson says he has absolute respect for Richmond and nothing negative to say about the Tigers' gun key forward Tom Lynch, whom Robinson lashed on social media last month.
Robinson, who had called Lynch "a wanker'' on his twitch live stream and criticised the Tiger forward for crossing from the Suns to a good team "to get success'', told The Age that his comments had been blown out of proportion and he was not concerned about how those words would be received by Lynch and the Tigers in next week's qualifying final.
"Not really. I haven't thought about it since I made the comments,'' Robinson said, when asked if he thought his comments would fire up Lynch. "I honestly made it on the stream when I was playing a video game. I wasn't really thinking about too much going there with the small community that I have.
"So I haven't actually thought about. I was cheering on Collingwood last night (against Port Adelaide) so it would have been pretty cool to win minor premiers, but regardless, we're playing Richmond this next week. I don't think they're going to be thinking about it too much - a bit water off a duck's back, I'm pretty sure.''
Robinson said he made his comments on Lynch - which surfaced after Lynch was the subject of criticism for on-field incidents against Gold Coast - after Brisbane played Richmond, not thinking they would become a headline.
Robinson, who also made reference to Lynch pushing Lion teammate Alex Witherden's face into the turf - the incident that sparked his ire - was rebuked by his coach Chris Fagan for his comments.
"I made the comments after the game against them, down at Gold Coast we played against them. It's just my opinion at the time. I didn't really think it was going to be headlines or anything like that - it got blown out of proportion a little bit.
"But in saying that, it's just comments I made and, you know, it's no disrespect to the Richmond footy club. I've absolutely got a lot of respect for them and what they're about. So I'm looking forward to the game next week, I'm sure they are too.
"Tom's actually a very good player, I've got nothing, really, bad to say about him on-field or off-field. It's just my opinion at the time. I'm looking forward - if he plays next week - that battle.''
But Robinson felt the Lions were better prepared to meet the Tigers, who have beaten them repeatedly - including in last year's qualifying final and in that encounter several weeks ago.
"It feels like we're better prepared. Obviously last year was a new feeling for a lot of players in that team. We've got a similar squad.
"So I think that we're going to be better prepared going into this one, especially after playing Richmond three times in 12 months.
"We've been pretty close to them a couple of times. Obviously the goalkicking let us down this year when we played against them, but scoreboard pressure with them would help us a lot to get the win.''

Thing is Richmond have not had to battle like the other teams and seam to have everything made for them too.
Arrogantly it always has to be richmond all the bloody time its like its their god given right.
Tigers make me sick prancing around
I guess its because i live in richmond i hate all of this yellow and black BS around the place makes me sick. I live a handball away from punt rd oval too. I cant stand some of their arrogant players lynch dustin cotchen grimes reiwolt they are all the same. Along with their phoney supporter pricks.
They are not worthy premiers. This is an AFL era of mediocrity. There are too many clubs and the talent, which was probably in limited supply anyway, has been spread too thinly. It's worse than that, really. The talent may have been simply wasted and lost, as GC and GWS screwed up the bodies or footy educations of a generation of kids. Meanwhile, NBA etc. lure kids to the dark side, which did not happen 30 years ago.
Rich's main achievement is to be virtually injury-free for four years. For the first two years, they were injury-free the entire two years. Last year, it looked like they'd finally have injuries (and they played like wooden spooners in that period), but magically they had all recovered when finals rocked around. This year we're at the pointy end of the season, and if reports that Prestia and Lynch are in full training are correct, they again are almost injury-free.
It's disturbing the other clubs haven't worked out the injury and fitness stuff. Normally secrets don't last more than about 18 months. Ideally, the bottom clubs would have poached Rich's fitness and medical staff by now.
I don't know how clubs expect to win finals against a club's full senior side when they are playing half of a VFL side because of their injury carnage.
I don't agree with most of K's comments. I do, though, agree that we are watching an AFL era in which none of the teams has as many good players as the great sides of the past.
My point was that, objectively, Richmond are not "one of the greatest teams ever" and will not be, even if they win the flag again this year. Not even a Richmond supporter would say that.
Richmond have been given everything on a platter to them.
Another easy ride in the finals for richmond nicely set up too back to back flags here we come and i reckon they will make it 3 straight next year too.

Well SEVEN'S AFL Finals ad is as bias to Richmond as possible, mythicizes players to the point that I thought it was a promo for 300 and claims this will be the greatest grand final ever. Are they using Trump's publicist?

“When Dusty wants the footy, you let him have the footy,” the AFL wrote, as Martin took the ball from the hands of teammate Shai Bolton after Bolton had clearly gained possession first.
But the Dusty love-fest ignored one critical piece of information footy followers were quick to remind the AFL about – it’s against the rules to hand the ball to another player.
“The audacity to tweet this,” replied Sam Colquhoun.
“The social media guy doesn’t even know the rules,” added Robert Tinney.
“Caption should read: When Dusty throws the footy, you let it be legal,” wrote James Cockman.
“AFL’s been in Queensland long enough for rugby passing, although might need to wait til next year to work out they can’t go forward,” Daniel Brettig said.
“Every single comment pointing out it’s a throw. The AFL happy as the ball kept moving and it’s the golden child from the golden team. Sick of it,” wrote another.

Legit question though is it a throw? The way I saw it they got hands on the ball at the same time. No different from when it’s a contested ball on the deck and there’s hands all over the place?

And an hour later:

Considering we were even with Richmond at the start of 2016 is absolutely heartbreaking.
They had a plan that they stuck to whilst we played favourites and
we’re lead by a terrible CEO in Pert who was one of the catalysts for our poor decade.
This tigers premiership really stings. 🤬
Far out 2018 hurts even more now.
I can’t handle the Tiger supporters and have nothing to give them back except the prelim.
I guess we stopped them winning 4 in a row.
Done it again some richmond supporter just threw a big brick with go tigers through the glass front door at Olympic park with go tigers on it they shattered the door damaged it too just happened just then in 2017 was a Tyre 2019 a brick 2020 same but 2 bricks were thrown

Geelong forum: (in fairness many Cat fans were quite complementary of us which is unusual).
I said it in the game day thread but I'll say it again here. This was never going to end well after they said on the grand final brunch that Geelong had a venue booked for a party from midnight to 7am tonight. I mean really that is just arrogance
We lost to an average Richmond team. Scott has not learned a thing from any of our previous encounters.
Can we finally send Rohan to the dole queue? inept footballer who's cancerous behavior has damaged relationships within the club.
And **** Cameron. Send that campaigner to the draft. destroyed our chances and distracted the whole club.
Dangerfield. Statistically his 2nd worse game playing for the cats. In a Grand Final. Disgraceful and towelled up by plodders.
Hopeless performance and the team should be embarrassed with themselves
RFC are a champion team, no doubt. Brimming with confidence. Able to turn it up when they need to. Congratulations.
But ****, that is ugly football. Reminds me of teenage soccer and deriding opponents of boot and run. I wonder if there is a fine for picking up the ball in a contest. Someone send a suggestion to the GFC, employ a coach from a soccer club like Newcastle to teach the boys how to slide tackle.

Essendon forum:
There’s no skill in there gameplan. None at all. Just hack it forward
I’ve never in my life seen any team anywhere near as lucky as Richmond with the tap ons, punches, kicks long down the line and general bounce of the ball go their way. I know it’s not all luck, but it’s ridiculous how often it works in their favour.
Tigers have to be the most arsey team ever to win flags
It’s win the ball at all.costs and scrap it fwd
I’ll turn it off before I watch Richmond win
Worst 3 time premiership era in AFL/VFL history
Worst premiership side I’ve ever seen. They’ve won by default because Geelong couldn’t score in the second half.
I stand by “worst premiership team ever”.
The fact that Trent “cheat” Cotchin is captain makes them the worst, irrespsective of anything else.
They are a very good team, but I would put all the recent dynasty teams ahead of them Bris, Geel, Hawks, even our 2000 side is better although didn’t get the job done.
They. Are. Just. Relentless! And nobody to really consistently test them at the right time.
Richmond winning the flag just caps off a terrible year
Richmond win another flag, Cotchin becomes a 3 x premiership captain and Dusty will be a 3 x Norm Smith medalist.
2020 is ■■■■■■■ disgusting.
Just a reminder, we passed up a future 3 x premiership coach for Matty Knights.
“Nah, we won’t take him now, we’ll wait till he wins flags elsewhere, then we’ll steal all his assistants! It’s genius.”

Carlton forum:

Not watching these arrogant a***holes win another flag.
cant watch this any more...going to be insufferable
Frustrating that Richmond always seems to run games out 100x better than anyone else. @#$%&! it, I'll tell myself they're on * gear.
SHAI @#$%&! BOLTON!!!Y**&^#*&*$^*@^%*&#^%*@%*@(*#
@#$%&! @#$%&! @#$%&!
Richmond's first pick in 2016 was pick 29. Compensation for Ty Vickery.
They got Bolton. PICK 29!
We got SPS at 6 and FIsher at 27.
Both are WA boys, as is Bolton.
Someone tell me: WHO IS OUR WA TALENT SCOUT???
SERIOUSLY, WHO IS OUR WA RECRUITER?
SPS and Fisher over Bolton?
I'm switching off before I blow an aneurism.
And so the tattooed TURD gets another NS.
Wayne Harmes doesn't deserve this.
Has to be the best group of spuds ever assembled.
How this group has won 3 of the last 4 is beyond comprehension
How fitting that the covid breaching bastards claim the covid-ridden year.
They will furl the flag against us again ::)
This Richmond team is good to watch - their skills are ok, nothing special.. but they really only have one superstar and a bunch of determined gritters that never give up.
Yeah, and WHY do we have to keep playing the pricks Round 1 EVERY bloody year!!!
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
System is rigged.
Why do teams give Martin so much space. The number of times he is 2 to 3meters in the clear amazes me.
You would just have someone sit on him and bury him every time he touches it.
They don't have a lot of silk the tiges but they just keep running and keep chasing and tackling. The pressure they apply is the best I have ever seen.
There are players who have 3 premiership medals who are average at best but they are determined and just keep at it.
Geelong like GWS last year have class to burn but they didn't have the will the tiges have.
Credit to Hardwick he has brought in that style and it has paid off. Usually guts and determination only gets you so far.
Thats enough now they can make their way back to middle table
You can’t argue against 3 flags in 4 years but I’m convinced they have a handful of spuds in that team. Take out Martin, they lose. Simple.
Last night also further highlights to me how overrated Alex Rance was.

Hats off to the premiers of the favourable fixture @Richmond_FC. See you in Perth next year (surely?!). #AFLGF
Irrelevant to the fact that the reigning premiers benefited from a bigger advantage than any of the 17 other teams in the single most outcome decisive fixturing factor, namely: days rest between games. Truly inexplicable, and undeniable cause for a big fat asterisk.
Eagles played Richmond off a FOUR DAY BREAK. For a top four spot. On what planet is that even remotely fair? Travis Auld all but gift wrapped the premiership cup for the Tigers. How they avoided a trip to WA is a mystery for the ages.
It’s ridiculous that Auld and the AFL gifted Richmond a >2 day break advantage a competition high five times. They were due to travel to Perth this year but, for some inexplicable reason, didn’t. Hence the asterisk.

Carlton fan:
Took you 40 years to in how many flags we won just in the 80s 4 great seasons in 40 years
Eagles supporters:
I ask because the record shows that the Gabba is basically your home away from home, so it‘s blatantly rubbish to say that the ground and travel doesn’t factor in at all. Would Richmond have won the GF against us in Perth? What about against Geelong at Simonds Stadium? Arguably your greatest win this year was against Port at Adelaide Oval, but, considering they’re the biggest chokers of all time, I found that result hardly surprising.
Richmond can’t do squat away from the MCG and they know it. If they had met anyone other than Geelong in the GF this year then I reckon a few of their older boys would be looking at the Rance retirement option.

So many stupid takes here.
1. We won 3 flags in 4 years. Carlton won 3 in 7 years. So why are they shortening the time period to it took them to win 3 flags to the time between their first and last but for us they are for some reason extending it all the way back to 1980 :huh also it’s been 25 years since their last flag and they won that by cheating the salary cap. I really don’t get their angle here.
2. West Coast would need to qualify for a grand final before we can worry about playing them over there. Pretty sure the pies beat them over there even while being locked in a hotel for the week leading up. Pies then smashed by the cats who we beat in the granny.......
3. Does he mean how in last years finals run we beat Brisbane in Brisbane or how this year we beat the saints at a neutral venue in the Gold Coast then beat the top team all season at their home ground in Adelaide before beating the cats at a beautiful venue in Brisbane :huh

Another Eagles supporter:
If Richmond ever got a fixture befitting a reigning premier then they wouldn't even make the top 4, instead they get gifted a draw that mid-placed teams get.
You can Richmond out of ninth but the AFL fixturing people seem to still think Premiershipmond is still a thing...
Well the fact that you got the 7th hardest draw out of any team before COVID heat.
Weak as pee and puts the 'Fix' in fixturing.
Obvious to everyone other than tigger fans it seems.
Play us in Perth like you were supposed to and you don't make the top 4. Simple.
Port fan:
this season was more fixed than ever, every game was played out like a theatrical production. taking it seriously and trying to use statistics to prove something from last year wrong is obscene.

The most even fixtured season in history and they still complain. Every team played each other once. Interstate teams got to play at their home grounds whereas vic teams didn’t do so after round 5 or whenever it was and they still complain. Add to that the grand final was played in Brisbane and 2 vic teams still made it and it’s just laughable at this point.

WC supporters go on about it because of the significance of that game & how important it is for eagles to finish top 2. The next week against the Hawks we were spent. I mentioned 17 because we were so disadvantaged in stock at tje time. 17 Tigers lost to a bumch of teams, MCG factpr just helped that much for a team improving with a mad legion of success starved Tigger fans lol.

Pls stop man. You can’t deny that they’re ageing lmao dusty lynch Prestia cotchin houli edwards grimes astbury lynch lambert Riewoldt will alll be 29+.. that’s literally there best 11 players
The more they write off Richmond the better they seem to get, to be fair without Dusty they are an average top 5 team, the reflection is on the caliber of Dustin Martin who is just top shelf in the big games, no accident the Tigers lost the Prelim in 2018 with an unfit Martin

Super teams like the Hawthorn of the ’80s, North Melbourne and West Coast, Brisbane in the early 2000s, Geelong and even Hawthorn from 2011-2015 were outstanding.

People acting like the Brisbane team from 3 peat was 22x AA players. They had role players too! Namely the Scott brothers.
Still the most talented side I’ve ever seen assembled. Although as an expansion team they had draft and salary cap enhancements that helped them with that.
The hawks three peat team is the one I don’t buy into. That team was no more talented their our own and they won their 3peat while the league was expanding and all the top draft picks were going to the suns and giants. So essentially the top teams stayed top while the bottom teams took longer to rebuild with all the top talent going to the expansion teams.

Your richmond team still doesnt touch the North team of the 90’s. Your three flags were handouts from the AFL and flukes.

Essendon did more to save Richmond than 95% of its fans. Tragic.
One thing I've always noticed, Richmond supporters always have had more modern jumpers than other clubs fans
It was a regrettable short period of poor governance in the time of a club with a long and proud history. Richmond, of all clubs, should have been grateful to have benefited through being gifted an easy finals game against the underachieving Carlton side of that year.
Unfortunately you weren't able to capitalise on the opportunity. It's highly likely you would have lost by double that margin against the strong Essendon side of that year who would have more than likely gone on to win the premiership and thus benefited from merchandise sales in a similar manner to what Richmond is doing now.
Anyway, I'm glad to see Richmond fans living it up after decades of underachievement. Even moreso, it's nice to see an Essendon legend holding the wheel during your successful era.
Doesn't this [merchandise sales] reflect on the type of person that supports Richmond?
I mean, let's be honest. Only a certain type of person wears merch.
Have to get in quick for Tiger success, once in a life time stuff.

Yeah 'Essendon legend' is a bit of a stretch. Considerably worse than Collingwood's claim to a preliminaryship in 2018 like it counts for something.

Demon supporter responding to Mansell training with us:
FFS. After three premierships in the last 4 years, I’ve grown to really hate the Tigers. I hate every other club, just some like the Pies, Eagles, Bombers and now Tigers are really hated. 😡
Mansell is a skilled, fast, wing/half back runner who showed in the SANFL that he also has the 2nd efforts and intensity to be in the AFL system. It’d be great for Mark Williams or Tim Lamb to get his number and give him a call to see if he would consider a spot with the Dees. Tigers already have too many good players. They need to opt out for a while.

Q. Has an AFL decision/policy ever cost your club a potential flag?
Trent Cotchin not getting banned for bump on Dylan Shiels head in 2017 prelim
Because the head is protected in the modern AFL. Cotchin chose to enter Shiels headspace to attack the ball.
The same action and result every other time to this incident has resulted in a suspension. Because Richmond was in the grand final for the first time in decades the AFL let it slide.
https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/has-an-afl-decision-policy-ever-cost-your-club-a-potential-flag.1254697/page-7
------------------------------------------
So up to 2017 Tigers were playing and losing to Geelong in Geelong. And then the Tigers started winning these Geelong 'home game's when played at the MCG.
What a fortunate change in fixturing.
Almost as if Geelong are more familiar and confident playing in Geelong v Richmond. Massive benefit to the opposition giving up home ground advantage to play where the Tigers are very comfortable v playing somewhere they rarely win.
Tough away game that Geelong trip.
Some teams just get a leg up from AFL fixturing and avoid playing in Geelong. Lucky Tigers. Just like being gifted an early kill against Carlton when they were rebuilding.
Great to see a WC thread on the Mb for all the Richmond supporters to continue their obsession with us. You guys really are a weird bunch.
As far as advantages goes, having 10 games at Optus against traveling sides might help us limp into the 8, but that is pretty useless when you have to win multiple finals on the road from there to win a flag. If we don’t finish top 2 we’re cooked. And you need to overcome a hell of a lot of disadvantage and win on the road to finish top two when you’re not based in Victoria.
The most advantaged teams are the ones which get gifted home finals regardless of ladder position. The mcg tenants.
Typical stupid reply from a Richmond nuff nuff..
Totally avoided the issue......And the obvious.
Only time will tell if Richmond are good enough to win in a Perth hub v Eagles.
To date Tigers have played once there in three seasons. A 47 point thumping.
Finally in 2021 Richmond have a challenging draw worthy of being the premier team. Multiple interstate trips and no super soft run at home leading into finals. If they win this season I will 'tip my hat'.
You forgot to mention the undisputed advantages of being an AFL pet.
Avoiding playing in Geelong again. The current toughest away venue in the comp instead played at your home ground. Massive advantage over other top four teams who pay Geelong in Geelong.
No trips to Tasmania. Let others do the extra travel.
Eagles fans accept they need to travel. It's a given challenge we know can't be avoided.
We don't accept pampered fixturing that gives the best team for the past 3-4 years a soft draw.
Not hard to understand but Tiger fans don't handle facts and basic logic. Easier to just ignore it totally hey Tigers!

Ahhhhh the old Geelong home ground advantage. Played one final there against freo and lost. Can’t remember the previous one to that.
Fact of the matter is Geelong don’t play all their home games at home and don’t play any of their finals at home. It isn’t a Richmond thing, it’s league wide. Didn’t hear them complain about this when they were winning flags....
Besides 2020 grand final played on neutral venue and who won???
-
We played 4 finals out of Victoria last year and still won the flag.
Those Eagle fans also ignore they've choked at home the past two years against Hawthorn (r23, 2019) and Collingwood (EF, 2020).
-
Geelong flogs calling us AFL pets while one of their former players heads an AFL committee that's been changing the rules every year since we won our first flag in order to nullify our game plan and benefit theirs...... :shh
-
I actually agree they should play all their home games in Geelong but yeah that’s an issue to take up with the AFL not us.
-
Chuckling @ the "tough away game that Geelong trip"
Would have thought, given all the whining about Richmond at MCG, that the toughest away trip would be playing us @ MCG
-
They will have to play the GF at the MCG if the whining biatches ever get there, so they should embrace the experience....
-
You need to come up with something more substantial than that tripe.
Remind me again what question has not been answered?
Victim narrative and entitlement to success? WTF are you on?
The narrative is about equalisation for all teams. Not just West Coast. It means that pampered teams such as Richmond over the past 4 years stop getting hand outs to the detriment of other sides.
It means Richmond goes and plays Geelong in Geelong, the most difficult away game in the league by far.
It means Richmond do not get a nice soft fixture leading into finals travelling once in two months while other contenders travel multiple times.
Not hard to comprehend if you open both eyes.
Richmond get forced to play home games away from home? What in 2020 when everyone was forced to do that? Now that is just a dumb argument in itself.
Please explain all these advantages West Coast get over Vic teams. The only one I can think of is they don't share home ground advantage with multiple clubs, thats it. The AFL simply can't change that where as they can address a number of 'benefits' they gift the Tigers in fixturing. Something they actually finally did with the 2021 draw should it remain as published but not as far as they can. (Still no trip to Geelong or Tassie)
Now trot off and do some more homework because the above you submitted is a F-.
7 games at optus stadium in a row leading in the finals would be nice
Much like the 2019 gift the premiers got
2018 really put a dent in the "dynasty"
Still can't beat us in Perth.

Away all year?
4 of the first 5 games were at the MCG then one at Marvel. Thats close to the first 3rd of the season btw.
Yet again Tigers ignoring basic history.
Nice comfortable start whilst WA and SA clubs forced to hub with no covid in either state. Massive mental boost for some teams, massive dissadvantage to others.
Some side start the season off at home and get their confidence up, others forced to carry the travel load.......again.
Thems the facts buddy.
Hardly hardest flag ever.
Shortened quarters made it less taxing on older players.
Only 17 games played per team for the season. lol, that's a full month less of footy!
I loved the AFL narrative though. Talk of being the most deserved flag and all but seriously, get us back to full 20 minute quarters and 22 rounds per season thanks.

Norm Smith's are pretty easy to get when your team makes the Grand Final a few times and you are undoubtedly the best player of that team. Sort of like Melbourne of yesteryear and Nathan Jones.
Plus none of the Richmond Grand Finals were close. Had Martin not played they still would have won. The best Norm Smith's are the ones where the player turns the tide for his team.
The media obsession with this guy is disgraceful. Wouldn’t have half the medals he has if they didn’t fawn over him like they do. If he was going he would’ve gone when he re-signed

No matter what you think of our recent performances, we stopped a 4-peat.
Yep we stopped 4 flags in a row for richmond we had a hand in it again just like we did to Melbourne in the 50s Brisbane in 2004 couldn’t make it 4 either could hawthorn in 2016 been beaten by Footscray in that semi final the 4 straight flags record remains to Collingwood.
I feel 2021 we will have a new premier not Collingwood but another team like Brisbane west coast Geelong or I’ll love to see stkilda win it.

If Richmond decide not to unfurl their flags Round One, please feel free to return the home game to Carlton. The whole reason they have this as their home game , again , is for that precise reason and goodwill due to Covid restrictions last year.
Is that the real reason Richmond got the home game Round 1? WTF! Did the AFL really give them that as a goodwill consideration? Talk about favouritism.
Money don't matter as it's a 50/50 split been that way a few years now. This season is a reason we really needed it as our home game due to 50% as Richmond is getting a higher allocation of tickets I read yesterday in a story from TheAge.
Sick and tired of AFL giving a leg up to Richmond. Fairness within the league is a joke!

hard for Richmond compared to the soft pampered draw they usually get.. doesn’t even compare to a normal eagles season
Yes we are fully aware we don’t get undeserved home grand finals
on the road means travelling to the other side of the country and playing the opposition at their home ground like the Eagles do 10 times plus finals every season...when did you do that at least once last season ?
and what 2 finals did we lose at home ?
is lying part of your usual tactics when loosing an argument

“Anyone but Richmond”, that’ll be my mantra this year.
Haha, yep even if it’s Collingwood. That’s how sick I am of Richmond and their supporters. It’s worse than when Hawthorn were good; at least they had some likeable players (Cyril, Bud etc)
According to Richmond supporters it was the greatest, most difficult premiership, of any competition, ever in the history of the world.
Tigers won’t get another finals series with no injuries. Early tip, they don’t make the GF. Cats to win it
honestly eff richmond. it’s as bad as when the hawks were winning it every year without the aesthetic appeal
And Richmond aren’t pretentious? I begrudgingly respect them, but I don’t think I’d be able to handle them winning another premiership anytime soon.
Is it Richmond supporters who are arguing that it’s the greatest flag of all time?
It’s not as if Richmond had a tougher task than any other team.
West Coast clearly had the toughest task. I mean, they had to play several games in a row away from home.
Greatest flag of all time? Weren’t Richmond the favourite at the star of the season? If you are the favourite, is it really that remarkable? Also, Richmond didn’t have to travel, as they were based in qld, and they played at a neutral venue. The Western Bulldogs premiership was more remarkable imo.

stuff those Carlton fans are delusional. Zac Williams literally jumped off the ground to collect Clark high. Cotchin and Shiel were going for a 50/50 ball. Shiel himself even put on record what Cotchin did was fair in the heat of the game

Richmond fans are still pretty upset about 2018
Not having a 3peat leaves them short of a dynasty
The clear deflection regarding a record 7 in a row mcg games leading into the finals for the eventual premiers
Very similar to the 2016 Bulldogs season but at the business end
The answer is the Victorian teams should travel more
All the interstate clubs in the middle of MCG games so 7 games at the same venue to set up a flag doesn't happen again

Stengle started a Richmond the only club in the AFL willing to give Cousins a game. It is in your culture. Adelaide is a professional club, which is why other clubs wants it’s developed players.

99% of his possessions are in the forward half. Never gets down back to help out. As good as he is he often gets on his own because others are always helping others out. His defensive efforts are average. He doesn’t have the tank to be a true midfielder.

The evidence that VicBias is real is in Carlton v Richmond locked in to open the season forever, despite exactly zero good or memorable games, and the only memorable moment being when Cousins came back and did his hammy.

No issue with the Dangerfield suspension but I still can’t figure out how Cotchin played in the 2017 Grand Final.
Because it was the captain of a big Melbourne club who would be missing out on a Grand Final
Richmond & the AFL. We immediately stopped the negative PR surrounding us wearing the Away Guernsey in the GF & Cotchin was cleared. Cotch was on his last strike which meant an auto week by the rules but was overruled
Not to mention running 30m out of his way to deliberately take our Miers, a kid, who was our best player up until that point in the game in the prelim ... Right after suspending Hawkins for exactly what Houli got off for :rollin

16? Eagle fans have trouble understanding that most of our home games are Victorian derbies if we're comparing them to what interstate clubs like West Coast have (10 home games against interstate sides & 2 derbies).
We have just 3 home games at the 'G against interstate sides compared to the Eagles' 10,
plus 1 'home' game at Docklands against an interstate opponent,
7 home derby games at the 'G against Vic clubs,
4 away derby games at the 'G against Vic clubs,
1 away game at Docklands against a Vic club,
6 away games interstate.
In any case, we've won away interstate finals whereas the Eagles have choked at home. That's why we've won 3 flags in 4 years and they haven't.

We lost the game, which isn't a surprise at all really considering the outs. Take away 3 of Richmond's 5 best players and give us ours back and they're not winning that one.
It's amazing that even with rules designed to open up the game, Richmond makes it an unwatchable defensive scrap..
Yep. Richmond shove in every contest knowing maybe 20% will be called. Much easier than relying on a 50/50 contest.
Also sick of hearing about how good an aerial team Richmond is. Any team could be considered that if they were able to get away with pushing and holding as much as they were today.

The issue is that Rutten has been teaching "team defence" Richmond style of last decade. Unfortunately, the new rules have created a new style that requires players to mark an opponent instead of blades of grass. Rutten's approach is doomed to failure.
Your right. Richmond look like they are about to fall off a cliff!
Rutten is trying to teach them to win the ball. Every team that wins their own ball, controls the game.

Richmond have benefitted from the expansion teams diluting the talent pool. It casts a shadow over their dynasty
GWS and Gold Coast hogged all the best young talent - the Giants were proved to be September pretenders, easy pickings for the Tigers. Put those same players in a decent club with history, fans and culture and they probably would've flogged Richmond. Alas, it was an artificial AFL construct who were handed a Grand Final team on a platter thanks to silly recruiting concessions. But their overpaid, spoiled young stars were no match for a proud, blue collar Victorian club with a 100 year history and 100,000 fans behind it.
The Suns basically squandered all their talent due to poor admin, poor coaching, poor club culture and a lack of player development. Many of their players were just taking the pee. Richmond were also fortunate to poach their 2 best players: Prestia and Lynch, both keys to Richmond flags
So who exactly did Richmond beat to win those flags? Who were the other good teams from 2017 to 2020?
There was a vacuum created by the AFL expansion. It didn't happen immediately in the first few years, but we saw its eroding effects after several seasons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tigers have also yet to match the 3 flags won by Brisbane, Geelong and Hawthorn 2013-15
There were only 17 home & away games in 2020 instead of the customary 22. The season was reduced by 22.7%
Matches were also shortened by 20%. Really, the 2020 flag should only be counted as 0.8 of a premiership to reflect this reduction.
It wasn't a true test. It was a Mickey Mouse season played under Covid restrictions for the benefit of Channel 7 and the AFL's TV rights money
You know this is true, however much you all try to talk it up... :thumbsu:
Bris 2001-03..... 3 premierships
Geel 2007-11.... 3 premierships
Haw 2013-15.... 3 premierships
Rich 2017-20*... 2.8 premierships

-
Lol that’s a bit rich coming from a hawks supporter. Their 3 flags also coming against interstate expansion teams. And if any team benefited from GWS and Gold Coast coming into the league it was the hawks. When they were up and about all of the top end draft picks were going to gws and the Gold Coast which made it harder for the teams below them to add the top end talent that they normally would.

They changed the rules to make games better viewing with more goals. The way Richmond played over the past 4-5 years is not meant to be how the game should be played
The game is meant to be open, free flowing with big marks. Richmonds style is hold, tackle and try and force a turnover then rush the ball forward like a rugby game
Richmond winning didn't concern me. Their supporters are battlers and I don't begrudge them having some joy in their lives.
It was their style of play. The suffocation of the traditional and core skills of AFL footy that made them unwatchable.
The only thing that made them even remotely watchable was Dustin Martin.
Richmond's game plan is to flood back, not really attempt to contest in the forward line or midfield, just slow play down and set up their defense. Then cause a turnover and surge forward with chaos ball movement as fast as possible.
That isn't how football traditionally was played. Traditionally it was man on man. Mids v mids and forwards v backs. No flooding, no zones and no chaos ball movement.
Man on man. Tall v tall. Small v small.

This is the eighth time Collingwood has played West Coast since 2018. In same time Richmond has played the Eagles just three times.
And in that time, Richmond played WC in Perth only ONCE. Incredible, inexplicable fixturing.
Wrong. WC have played Richmond at the MCG twice in that timeframe.
What’s interesting is that Richmond got absolutely belted on the one occasion they travelled and played the Eagles in Perth in the past 3 years.
Ed. West Coast has only played us once at the 'G since 2018.
Actually you’re correct, my bad. Begs the question: why have the two most recent premiers played each other so few times?
Unlike Richmond with Perth games, WC want as many MCG games as possible.
Richmond have a knack of avoiding interstate travel. It’s uncanny.
FOURTEEN games at the MCG (not including finals) scheduled for this year.
NINE out of their last TEN games including the GF at the MCG in lead up to their 2019 flag.
Dream run.
you do realise there are such things as co-tenants? Where else should they play?
At the other most recent premiership winner’s home ground once a season?
Like they were fixtured to last year, but bitched out on by lobbying the AFL to move the game to QLD, resulting in a probable 8 premiership point swing that effectively secured top 4 for them.

And that’s precisely the reason why freo suck.
In 2016 when Martin and Rance dominated and were killing it stat wise, the rest of the team sucked. Rance acknowledged if he wanted success he had to do his best and help the other defenders get better also. I’m sure it’s the same thing with Martin and how he gives off just as many kickable goals as he scores.
There’s no point in one player being decent and getting all the SuperCoach points if the overall team play is rubbish (see Gary Ablett Gold Coast)

The Dusty fend gets put in the protected species box with Franklins play on but not play on kicking routine.
Just about every example you've used is a free-kick against for contact above the shoulders
If a non inked rookie did this...free kick everyday of the week but because his jumper sells...it’s play on.
All of those don’t argues should’ve been free kicks against him for too high contact
An atrocious amount of these are high to the throat
Most of them should have been paid high contact against him Man shrugging

A little cocky?!?! Geelong were a little cocky after 3 flags in 5 years. Hawthorn were a little cocky after their threepeat, as were Brisbane. No, Richmond are more than a little cocky. They’re positively nauseating. They are belligerent and conceited and sadly I think beating them tomoz won’t change a thing. They were unbearable in the late 60’s and early 70’s and it took a 38-year drought to bring them back to earth.
Yeah I have the misfortune of some friends and work acquaintances who are tigers supporters. Some who I never knew were supporters until a few years ago. Now I get one text a year, after Anzac eve with some smug comments. Oh how I long for them to be crap again so their fans can go back to be miserable!

It seems to be a recurring question, year after year.

Trust me, every single one of those Jack Russells starts barking when you point out that 9 of their last 10 games including the GF were at the G in 2019, or that they had a competition high five instances of >2day break advantages over their opponents in 2020.

Rd 1-6 the Dogs ave 30+ shots on goal with an accuracy of 49%
Rd 7 they had 20 shots on goal at 35%
If the dogs increased their shots to their season average of 30+ and stayed at 35% they would’ve won.

And yet Richmond recorded something like 16 straight inside 50's to start the 3rd quarter in a flogging that makes the whipping of Geez Geez seem like gentle foreplay.

Feral tigers supporters

:lol
can't see Richmond even making the 8! What a disgrace of a club
Awwwwww its a bit harder this year for richmond when they have to get on the road instead of when covid last year gave them back to back to back to back home games 😂😂👌🏼👌🏼
Richmond will beat north Melbourne and the commentators will talk about them being the greatest team in history
Is there anything better than watching Richmond lose?
Geelong robbed of about 20 holding the ball free kicks should of been 9-41. Typical umpires going against Geelong, it’s got to stop
2020 FLAG WAS GIFTED TO RICHMOND!
Unfortunately Richmond didn’t have the fellas in Green helping them tonight and geelong just demolished them!!
Im just happy the Richmond players & coaching staff weren't spat on from their own "fanbase" AGAIN!!!🤣🤣🤣

The culture at this club is a real problem for the AFL.
Gale and Hardwick have a lot to answer for. They are simply unable to keep their players in line.
Kane is on the money. The Melbourne media is spineless in terms of how they report on the out of control off-field culture at Richmond.
The likes of McClure attack interstate clubs such as Adelaide for any slight transgression, but make excuse after excuse for Richmond.
No rules or regulations for their players?
That would explain why Richmond’s culture is a MESS.

One such example would be following European soccer with the Champions League and US football with the Super Bowl by having Olympic-style bidding to host the AFL grand final outside Melbourne.
Colless noted the roadblocks former Sydney chief executive Andrew Ireland found in 2018 when he proposed the AFL grand final become a best-of-three series to afford fairness to non-Victorian clubs, such as Adelaide that lost the 2017 grand final to MCG tenant club Richmond.

Richmond have had home ground advantages too good for too long. Spare a thought for Geelong who have been reamed in recent years, especially WRT finals.
Life wasn't meant to be easy Dimmer.
Every AFL coach should be preaching to their side.
"Anytime, Anywhere"
Success has gone to Richmond's heads.
They were much more likeable when they were ordinary.
All of their barracker’s (not supporters) will jump off again when they start to lose games. The microwave sales will also go through the roof!
Kornes is right.Tiges are whingers and sooks.
In 2019 Tiges played their last 14 games including the Grand Final at the MCG.
Does that seem fair?
100%! So bloody precious. WA clubs travelling every second weekend and poor Dimma can’t handle going to the docklands. Such whingers!

A goal that should have been a point as went over the line. Dusty gives it away with his “poo that was lucky” smirk. When is the AFL going to stop protecting their favourites :facepalm.
Nah that was a behind for any other player Martin on the other hand
UR WRONG!!! Ur a 1 👁 Tiger & don’t C AFL neutral, I do Tiger. He even mouthed 2 his own “I don’t know if it was”. No change 2 ball direction from his quick kick over the line. I was there. The most protected AFL player in history with this, his high fend off, throws & holding the ball
Watch all of it buddy and it’s a point :rollin but AFL most protected player in history can only get away with it ;)

Add to this the biased umpiring in the last 15 minutes of that game and it wasn’t something I wanted to watch. Richmond always get a good run when it matters in games.
Only about four years too late ::)
Maybe if Lynch and Riewoldt didn’t stage so often they would get more free kicks
Shows the continual weakness of Jack to work hard to get a hard ball. Leaves it up to others to do the hard work! No respect!
Then they’re defenders blatantly dive when receiving little to no contact.......but you never report on that
Typical of Richmond
Tom Lynch again. What were we expecting from a thug.

GWS should take the thugs to court, and also be given the win that was stolen off them
Dirty thugs as usual
The tigers need to play a cleaner brand of footy, otherwise they will further the stereotype that they’re a team of thugs.
Lynch is a thug he should have got 1 match for that unnecessary bump, lucky that kid didn’t have concussion otherwise Lynch would have 4 weeks on the sidelines!

Thuggier we are the better.
I remember Hawks beating the F out of North when the Roos thought they were hard. Lewis basically punched Goldstein in the face and Hodge just elbowed the crap out of Swallows head. Then they belted them by about 10 goals and the senior boys had a few weeks off before marching on to another flag.
Swallow looked sooky after the game and Hodge told him to harden the F up haha
-
... and no team was a bigger bunch of thugs than our back to back premiership sides of 73 & 74! It was an absolute privilege to watch them belt the stuffing out of all comers with no mercy or remorse! ;D
I was about 30 yards away from the infamous Windy Hill brawl when we (to a man) decided to hand it out properly. Now THAT was some proper Tiger Tough Stuff!
Its a tough game (still) & always has been, to brand a side as thugs because somebody got pushed over is just childish.
To be called thugs is something we are damn proud of, the top side is the top side because when they flex some muscle everybody backs off! :gotigers

In 2019 Richmond played 9 of their last 10 games including the premiership deciding game at the MCG.
The dream fixtures they have been given is the reason they are not as respected as other multi-premiership teams.
Don’t forget the 2017 away qualifying final which they also played at home instead of in geelong
Why not in Hobart or Launceston? Tigers and certain other Vic teams have it easy.
You played 2 interstate teams at your home ground. How is that not a massive advantage?

How will we rate Dusty’s season if Richmond finish 9th? There’ll be no finals to beef it up…
Dusty great in finals but home and away his average at best
Agree. Dusty is a pinch hitter. Bontempelli makes things happen

Crows fan still sooking about the 2017 GF.
The one thing I cannot respect and will never respect are the grubby acts in packs, blatant holding-the-man, blocking, and obvious dump-your-opponent-after-disposal which have been coached into them and which they do as a team, game after game.
I'm not talking about "unsociable football", which Brisbane and Hawthorn also played in abundance for their three-peats. I can respect niggle and toughness.
Put most simply, if for free kicks your blokes are " ... last every year bar one, and I think we were like 15th that year as well " it's because of the way they play.
As a Richmond fan, you must know what I mean because it has definitely contributed to your success, and here's why:
Richmond 2017-21 do more deliberate illegal acts, especially holding in packs or when an Umpire is unsighted, than any other team I've seen in 50+ years of footy watching.
It's most definitely to their benefit.
If it's missed, play on, so their advantage from dirty play (classic example, 2017 GF eg Eddie held by both opponent's hands in the goalsquare, second quarter).
If it's punished, they benefit from the stoppage and have time to regroup/set up. The free kicks they give away deliberately are opposition momentum-stoppers.
It works!
If you doubt me, watch this but be warned, you will not like it:
--- 0.32, look at Lever being held down in the contest, closely, with Umpires' view obstructed.
and
--- 3.15, Betts being held in exactly the same way, different player. It's coached into them.
and ... and ... and ...

Most of those incidents can be classified under "the bloke who made the video doesn't know the rules". Claiming Jacobs wasn't deliberate is laughable. Then again it isn't deliberate when their players do it at the Adelaide Oval in the last minute of a game ::) so that might explain why dopey Crows fans sook when they rightfully get pinged outside SA.

Tiger supporter has triggered Bomber fans on twitter thanks to Ch 7. :snidegrin
This Richmond supporter puts a grain of rice in a jar for every day Essendon doesn’t win a final 🤭

Put one in every time Dusty does a high fend off and doesn’t get a free against. I’ll wait!
Probably just started following richmond in 2017
Bombers will win another before the Tigs .
Dons winning the premiership within 5 years
Richmond were the laughing stock of the AFL for over 30 years... think old mate has a very short memory 🤫🤐
The thing that still gets me is how quickly (after years of being poo), they got so arrogant.
I thought nothing could be sadder than Essendon not winning a final for 17 years.
Turns out there is.
I was thinking the same thing. When Richmond were down in the dumps they were rattling tins to save there skins and the supporters are notorious for spitting on there coach when things take a turn for the worse
Yes, exactly. They where what, ninth for how many years?? There arrogance is quite astounding to be honest!

Essendon the most disgraced club in Australian sporting history for cheating. There supporters should shut up.

Replies to the best modern dynasty question:
:lol why are Richmond in this conversation?
Definitely not the tigers they are the worst by a huge margin.
Truth hurts princess. You are nowhere the class of these other 3 sides. Barely any of your players would get a game with these sides during there reigns.
How many richmond players start in that brisbane side?
Dusty and rance maybe one or two others but that’s it.
Only dusty very good point
They would obviously squeeze a few on pine but in starting 18 would lucky to be more than 3 position for position swap

Well I think the Bombers were hard done by, they were coerced into admitting a non provable crime.
What a disgrace by the AFL. In reality there were at least another 3 teams who could have been accused of the same.
James Hird has been an amazing player/ambassador for Essendon.
A disgrace how the bombers have FHO.
Good luck to them this weekend.
Unfortunately for them I believe we will prevail as, while their team has some positives, their supporters are scum at best.

Essendon were not hard done by. They were found guilty by a international tribunal. GUILTY. 100% GUILTY
-
Bombers hard done by? The players yes, the administration absolutely not.

Not to mention how ridiculous it is to suggest any AFL club wouldn't know what it's giving to it's players. Laughable.
They are 100% guilty and still to this day carry on about how nothing could be proven etc.

Umpires helped with 5 goals. Also late late goals in first 3 quarters
nb. this is a fake account that's really an Essendon supporter pretending to be a Tigers fan.
It was a RIGGED game. The AFL clearly had an agenda tonight, and they got what they wanted. Someone on the Bombers better call them out on this. Take a fine, so that next time, the game is called FAIRLY. Bombers got screwed, plain and simple. Coming from an honest tigers fan btw.

Obviously the AFL and the umpires do. This is disgraceful umpiring. Cheating at it’s best.
It’s the free kicks that aren’t being paid against Richmond that help them win. They don’t get penalised, so they rush the ball forward and score. Unfair advantage!

“Do you think anyone said anything? Do you think one person from the AFL was watching that footage of Dustin Martin going, ‘He didn’t have his mask on correctly, let’s send a memo out to the players that whenever they’re travelling, they have to wear their mask correctly’.

Richmond supporters always use this [ed. free kick differential]. It’s what they get away with is the issue, their players infringe so frequently and much of the time it goes unpunished. And they frequently get dubious free kicks in good spots, at crucial times.

It was bizarre they were scheduled to play here post bye in the first place - another example of the AFL making the fixture as friendly as possible for them.

Number of frees tells nothing. It doesn’t show the frees that weren’t payed or where on the ground the frees were paid. Richmond should give away a lot of frees because of the style they play. Richmond always get frees when it counts

A honest opinion here but I really believe there are 2 sides out there who literally throw the ball more then they handball. Its at the level where if a umpire pulled them up on this anomaly we would be looking at 40+ free kicks in a given contest. The two teams are
Richmond - Worst of the lot for sure. I dont think Kamdyn McIntosh has ever handballed the ball in his entire career. Every single one is a clear and obvious throw. His handballing technique is extremely similar to Valentime Homes passing technique I find. He puts his fist near the ball and then unleashes a NRL level spiralling bullet pass. I actually think it was a less of a issue last night than normal and they did alot more tap ons and clearer handballs due to the defensive pressure but in general they for the 120 handballs last night 20 were clear throws
Sydney - Second worst for sure. Callum Mills a expert in it from there side. Josh Kennedy been the birth of it overall though. He would be the worst in the AFL with that throw where he gets his hands above the contest and throws the ball down and over the contest. Its been 10+ years for them. Developed by Paul Roos and continued by Longmire
A small honorable mention to Geelong but im being harsh there. I tend to feel like they were the team who got pinged for it and have had to cut it out over the years so kudos on them for removing it from there game
https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/sides-that-constantly-throw-the-ball.1272593/
Would be a huge embarrassment for a full strength, all conquering Tigers team (who for the 2nd year running have lobbied to have this specific match re-fixtured to suit their exact preferences) if they were to lose to the severely injured ravaged Eagles.
Reputation on the line.
What a blow for Richmond.
Had the AFL re-fixture this game for the second year in a row, and still got beaten by the injury ravaged WAFL Eagles.
Shuey. McGovern. Kelly.
3 of the Eagles best 5 players weren’t playing.
Embarrassing loss for Richmond.
Remarkable that West Coast and Richmond haven’t played twice in a home and away season since 2009. Two massive clubs that draw an audience every time they play and play out belters like last night. AFL should lock in two #AFLEaglesTigers matches for the foreseeable future.
To say it defies logic would be an understatement.
Can only assume it is at Richmond’s request.

fine I'll give you 1 of the 3. At least that was a completely neutral grand final unlike your others. That's why west coasts prem will always be worth more than any 1 of Richmond's latest 3.

Some wannabes call this bloke "Kmart Dusty"...
Can sum1 tell me the last time Dusty kicked 4 goals, had 7 tackles, 29 touches, 3 marks, 6 clearances, 10 ins.50s in an injury riddled midfield?
Yeah, didn't think so.
Finding this hilarious how much this tweet has peeed off Tigers fans. For context, was specifically referring to Short after his smart arse comments on radio about Dusty kicking 2 late goals and not being awarded the Yioken medal ahead of Parish. But keep sniffing, this is fun!
Those offended by my tweet above are:
1) People who called Stringer "Kmart Dusty" and dont like seeing him perform well, or
2) People who honestly believed the tweet has compared Dusty's entire career to 1 Stringer game.
Lets focus on 2021 output as a start? Banter away!

RoOSTA would be the only one to select Stringer before Martin as either a forward or midfielder.
2021 Martin v 2021 Stringer is incomparable. 12 games v 9 doesn't help the comparison.

Stringer, de goey, robinson are all home brand Dusty. Petracca probably the only one who is worth entertaining the debate but being good for 2 seasons doesn’t mean he’s dethroned Dusty

At the end of every AFL season a number of medals are presented. IMHO there have been a number of undeserving medalists over the years. Here are my thoughts:
- 2017 Premiership Medals - Cotchin and Ellis - both should have been suspended for the GF - not that it would have made a difference to the result! We sacked!
- 2017 Norm Smith Medal - Dusty was good but Bachar Houli was BOG by a mile.
- 2012 Brownlow - Cotchin and Mitchell - consolation prize after Jobe was stripped of the medal. Should have been awarded to Scott Thompson.

Second consecutive pitiful, embarrassing loss in a row for the extremely overrated, Dusty’s coattail riding, favorable-fixture Tigers.
Looks like the AFL assisted flag run is over.
Off-field cultural issues will eventually take a toll on on-field performance.
This fall off a cliff decline has been many months/years in the making.

Yeah must be all that travelling from the MCG to marvel stadium, thoughts and prayers to all at Richmond.

At this rate the tigers would rather play in QLD to get a win
Not far off 9th…where you belong.
Richmond is done. Your "loyal" supporters have abandoned you. Can't play all your games at the MCG mate, your not that special. Can't wait to see you guys in the bottom 8 again.
Must be the massive amount of travel you had to do. Duck off Richmond
Would’ve needed a raincoat getting to the bench last night if the crowds were there. They’d be spitting on him again like 2016.

Our plan should be to win another 3 flags from 2022 to 2030. We also need to invest in stealing the bayside suburbs from St Kilda with a proper program aimed at generating supporter numbers from Port Melbourne going all the way to Portsea. St Kilda is an easy target. Never been successful. Our colors, the Tiger symbol and the song can attract kids from their over the next 20 years.

Astonishingly petty of the Richmond coach to blacklist the radio station that Wilson (arguably the club’s chief public defender and number one PR rep) is employed by.
Of all the ways to implode.
Bear witness to the downfall of the egomaniacal Richmond Tigers.
More likely they finish ninth and Mario is nuking his membership card again
Not to mention WC belted Richmond when they played each other in 18
Of course it’s a comparison.
AFL and NBA are worlds apart.

Astonishingly petty of the Richmond coach to blacklist the radio station that Wilson (arguably the club’s chief public defender and number one PR rep) is employed by.
Of all the ways to implode.
Bear witness to the downfall of the egomaniacal Richmond Tigers.
More likely they finish ninth and Mario is nuking his membership card again
Not to mention WC belted Richmond when they played each other in 18
Of course it’s a comparison.
AFL and NBA are worlds apart.
Bulls didn’t have a fraction of the advantages the Tigers have had, and Tigers haven’t even had half the success.

What a sad and pathetic way to live an existence
I feel compassion and empathy for this man
-
Yes he really needs a lot of help
-
Contrary to what Tiger nuffies think, I have to reiterate what the whole league thinks; He [Dusty] is NOT the GOAT.
Sure he's probably one of the best finishers in the league, but he loves sits on the outside of the contest waiting for the easy ball. Effort in the contest is what separates him from players like Fyfe, Danger, Judd, GAJ etc. Having 3 Norm Smiths doesn't mean anything when everyone knows at least 1 of them were gifted. You need to accept the fact that being covered in tatts, having an army of bandwagons along with that funny haircut is literally one of the main reasons he stands out and has been gifted most of those accolades. He is nothing more than a decent mid 95% of the time.
How can a player that only turns up one month of the year be even considered in this convo??
The funniest part is he goes missing for 99% of the season, ah Tugger flogs, never change.
sHut uP u caRlton suPPorter fLOG u are terrible
Also lmao at the tugger flogs defending Dusty like he's their own child it gets better day by day, comedy gold.
Thankfully he'll fade into obscurity like Richmond in the coming years, thank god when that happens.
All that will remain will be
heartburn
is this just some thing for richmond fans to talk of how good there players are, in my opinion yes and Dusty is not even close to being the GOAT, and they think he is so tough with his dont argue, which is not the case, and richmond will be bad in a few years same with dustin martin, i cant wait for that, these few years are probably his good years then he will just be another over rated, floghead richmond player
3 of his 4 goals in 2020 [Grand Final] were after the game was won
richmond supporters are the biggest flogheads in history and theres like 100000 members which makes it worse
https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/can-dustin-martin-be-the-goat.1178795/page-62
-
Wow
Even I am not sure he's the goat
Goat for tigers maybe
But clearly 3 of his 4 goals were when it really mattered. Unbelievable comment. 1 goal got us some momentum. 2nd got us the lead. 3rd sealed the game. 4th iced the cake.
That last effort vs Geelong was clearly his best norm Smith. I actually rated houli higher in 17. 19 was just a bloodbath anyway. 2020 he lifted the team and drove a effing stake through the cats hearts.
-
The thing with all the non Richmond AFL fans is that they have hardly watched 10% of Richmond games. Only watch when their team plays us and may have watched the Finals and Grand Finals.
They are missing out on so much joy and the beauty is they don't even know.
-
The thing with Dusty is he has always been a playmaker when we needed him. I’m willing to accept the opinions that Houli deserved the 17 Norm Smith but through my eyes his inside work and especially him getting the ball to Houli for his first goal, that to me is what I think non Richmond fans don’t see.
As for 2020 it was absolutely not up for debate who would win the norm smith. His first goal we desperately needed because we were getting flogged and it all started from there. Not to mention all his goals he was under pressure and fending off and off balance when taking the kick. That GF performance is one of the most insane performances I have ever seen and god it was beautiful

I know you're a RIchmond gal, but i've had about enough of the 'poor Tigers injury list' thats been doing the rounds in the media.
Have a look at how long Carltons injury list is now and all year!
What do we get?
"Sack Teague"
Fun Fact: Carlton are just 1 win behind the Tigers!
It wasn't directed specifically at you. The media as a whole have been beating that drum for a while now, it annoys me no end.
Combine that with the practically zero injuries you had in 2017.. you are overdue for injuries.
Sympathy for Richmond is non existent.
Nothing personal

3 flags in 4 years and no one gives a f*** about you.
People will always rate Brisbane 01-03, Geelong 07-11 and Hawks 13, 14, 15 more than you. For the rest of time, no one will care about your dynasty and I know that hurts you.
Damn man, did you have to go straight for the jugular?
That's the thing though. Richmond - 3 flags, zero respect
I think there’s clearly some hurt there amongst Tiger fans that despite their flags they will not be spoken of with the same admiration as the other great sides of this modern era. They’ve played a brand that was extremely effective but garbage to watch and all the while their club has been full of unlikeable characters.
Good riddance. Whoever wins it this year will be a step up on their crap. Happy for them to retreat into irrelevance. We can help them on their way there this week.
You can see clearly the realisation they have that they are no longer relevant, and will most likely go back to another 3 decades of mediocrity. Back to 9th you braindead flogs.
I wonder where all the Richmond supporters hibernated until 2017?
Or even where they've been the last 4 weeks..... Crying in a corner somewhere??
like some shroom species, they sprout in a pasture when the right amount of cow dung splats on top of them
It looks like they are trying, the poor Tiggies - unlike Clarko who packed up bags mid way through 2009. They are just being shown up for the skillless hacks they have always been, sadly.

It’s definitely hurt Richmond. They won 3 flags largely due to cheating the mark and creating turnovers.
https://twitter.com/NeilStewartWC/status/1420277214743044098
This loss to Geelong is even more embarrassing for Richmond than this year’s loss to Geelong was for West Coast.
Tigers coerced the AFL into inexplicably making Geelong play THEIR home game at Richmond’s home ground, and STILL got pantsed.

Richmond’s culture has been out of control for several years now.

I always considered Hawthorn 2009 as the worst premiership defence, but this Richmond season may be even worse.

4 years on and we're still in Adelaide fans' heads.
It is funny though right...like imagine if our ascent had of been now and not 2017...when you honestly had 3 other very, very good teams (and indeed one "dynasty" team) in the prelims...any of whom could win the premiership. Our 2017 would easily win the premiership this year...in fact, none of the current sides would get within 5 to 10 goals.
That is just not true....Melbourne, Bulldogs, Port & Geelong all very good teams, any of those teams would of beat us on gf day the way we turned up that day.
I dont agree with that. We got beaten by a dynasty team that were playing at home and who the AFL did everything in their power to assist on the day ...
I think you may need to sit through the GF again and see how badly we played after quarter time. We were on the end of some bad umpiring that day but it didnt cost us the game...but if on that day, had we played like we had majority of that year, we would of won the premiership, i was not that impressed with richmonds 2017 grand final performance, it was more down to how we didn't show up after half time. Their 2019 and 2020 premierships were more impressive. We were no where near the level on grand final day and any of the 4 teams this year would of beat us.
Our entire 2017 team were mentally exhausted before they even stepped on the field Grandfinal Day.
Who's fault that is I don't know. They were told to soak up the week and enjoy it and they did it so well they had no energy left on grandfinal day.
I was there that day, I kept thinking it's ok we'll flick the switch soon and play like I know we can. Wasn't until half way through the last quarter that I realised we didn't have a shot to fire at all.
If you rewatch them doing the power stance before the game, it looks like it suddenly dawned on them that they hadn't won it yet.
The thing about the power stance is it immediately flagged to the opposition we had an issue with mental toughness. If you need a gimmick to project strength, it's a clear weakness.
For me it was when Vlaustin held onto Eddie in the goalsquare.
Not blaming the umps but that was the moment the guys dropped off
It was a blatantly obvious free kick that should have been paid. Add that goal, Eddie up and about and we have significant momentum. Who knows what impact it has on Richmond's belief?
I still think Richmond would have won the game (the McGovern & Smith injuries, the Cotchin decision, our poor team selection and the constant cheating from the umpires ensured it).
We were beaten by the inform team of the comp on a ground where they won 20 in a row.
No. We were the in form team of the competition. We were the best team all year.
Richmond were a good team no doubt but I'm sorry, we were the best team that year aside from the grand final. Aside from a few stinkers (which Richmond had as well) we were destroying teams and finished top of the ladder nearly 20% ahead of the other top 4 sides
They were also playing on a ground they dominated on, and one we struggled on.
Our best performances were better than theirs, but as the ladder suggests they werent that far behind us. We underestimated them.
It had nothing to do with the power stance, or Criminal Minds..... they were just better.
I often wonder of the sliding doors phenomenon if Tigers played the Cats down at that sh*t hole in Geelong in Week 1.
I actually wonder about the rule change eliminating the 3rd man up.
I think that rule change helped Richmond alot with their gameplan. You can't surge it forward if the ball gets wacked out the back past their midfielders.

Melbourne v Western Bulldogs should Round 1 Thursday night to open the @AFL season. The Grand Finalists from the year before should always kick off the next season. Carlton v Richmond has had its day.
Being a national competition perhaps the season could open in another...... oh what was I thinking.
If the games played in melbourne this season are anything to go by, Richmond will struggle to pull 30,000 anyway
10000% agree with this. And if the VFL don’t want it to be a GF replay at least have the premiership team open the season and unfurl there flag. Regardless who it is.
So so sick of Carlton Richmond every stuffing year. And it’s always the same result.
Totally agree, Carlton and Richmond is no longer a "blockbuster". Two mediocre teams who finished bottom 10. Should be relegated to Sunday 4:40pm timeslot!

Who is the most annoying player in the AFL?
Jack Riewoldt
Jack Riewoldt, what a poster boy for being annoying. Nearing the end of his career, he specialises in jumping on players in the marking contest. A sort of Jack into the pack. The only thing is that he only takes out players and the ball spills free. He doesn’t actually touch it himself.
To top up on this performance, he has developed a vaudeville routine of appealing for a free every time he is in the marking contest. He superbly keeps a straight face. The umpires must bite their lip.
The final trying technique is the invisible hand in the back resulting in falling forward. Opposition backmen are contemplating wearing white gloves so as the umpires can see their hands better.
Jack has been gifted a golden opportunity to annoy the most amount of people. He is a regular on Fox Footy’s AFL 360. Matching his on-field withering looks with spoken hubris does the trick.
“Good luck if you are playing us for the rest of the season.”
And the most annoying thing of all is that Riewoldt still came third in the Coleman.
I don’t think that Jack can claim this crown. He is cheating. Utilising the Edie McGuire technique to increase his irritation. And promptly losing most of his final 2021 games after that outlandish statement – we enjoyed that bit.
I need to apologise to niggly sniper Tom Lynch, push into the ground post-free Trent Cochin, ...

I’m sure Port would love to have more opportunities to play at the G rather than the 2 or so games they get per season. If any team doesn’t need more games at the G though, it’s the Tiges.

What was the BS reason why Richmond after winning a premiership couldn't travel down the highway for our home match?
Just curious because current premiers Melbourne & fellow grand finalist Western Bulldogs, both have trips down the highway next season...
I suppose they figure Richmond at the moment will still pull a bigger crowd. A fews years of mediocrity and a fall off in attendances would see them back at KP - especially if any of Essendon, Collingwood, Carlton become any good.

... there is no possible way anyone can argue Richmond's 'dynasty' was better than ours [Hawthorn].
Richmond 2017-2020 are more comparable to Adelaide 1997-1998, a good but not great team which got it done when it mattered thanks to individual brilliance from Dusty/McLeod on the big stage.
That's not to mention Shane Ellen kicking 5 goals in 1997 from a forward pocket, Jack Graham kicking 3 goals in 2017 while tagging Sloane in the midfield, and some individual brilliance from Houli/Jarman on the biggest stage.
Adelaide's 1999 season and Richmond's 2021 season were both quite similar to each other as well. Adelaide getting flogged twice by North Melbourne in 1999 after beating them in the 1998 grand final and Richmond getting flogged by Geelong twice in 2021 after beating them in the 2020 grand final is the main similarity worth pointing out, along with both premiership defences being neck and neck with one another for the worst premiership defence in recent memory.
Yes, before anyone says it, Hawthorn 2009 and Bulldogs 2017 were both poor premiership defences, but neither were as poor as Adelaide 1999 and Richmond 2021.

Richmond have won 3 premierships in 5 years and their fans act like the biggest victims ... They may have won premierships but their fans are well and truly in the mindset of what Richmond used to be. I suppose it is like an abused child, a few years of success for that person doesn't erase the emotional damage inflicted.

Still baffles me that a team full of bog average players sprinkled with a few stars manged to win 3 flags
Helps that for 2 of the flags the other side didn’t show up on GF day.
That top 5 bnf is legit full of plodders. I’m going out on a limb and saying bottom 4
their midfield is bottom 4 imo
won’t make the 8
I don’t get all the hype on Richmond in 2022, where all the predictions are that they surge back into the Top 8, some even have them in the Top 4. They will be lucky to make the 8!

Come on @7AFL and @ncb_cfc Dusty isn’t Richmond’s best so how can you label him amongst these two player?
hes "overrated" because dangerfield has been better than him every single year (even 2017 he was better and that was dustys best season) until 2021. Only reason people think hes a goat is cus he played on one of the best finals team ever while danger played on the worst

Well if last year is anything to go by then there's merit to what they're saying.
Good players all a year older, starting the year with key injuries, only Tarrant at 32 added as instantly playable - the draftees will take time, umps absolutely hate us and the rules have been changed to stuff our game style.
I think we'll be lucky to make the top 6 at best, although I have my 20th year of membership this year and am happy to be proven wrong or go watch a belting every fortnight.

So, my kid doesn’t want to do @AFL @AFLAuskick anymore because he is worried that some one will try to kick his legs like Trent Cotchin. I can’t blame him because the AFL says it’s ok. #weflyasone
Tex will probably get suspended for saying this. They'll contact Cotchin, apologise, scrap the fine and give him a free car or something.
Absolute disgrace. Can’t do this in football but can do it in Aussie rules. Tex is spot on. He would’ve been given 12 months if he did this to Cotchin
Thats true. Cotchin is a protected species.
Classic Cotchin cheap shot. Worst Brownlow medalist* ever.
He’s correct. Cotchin is as dirty as Toby Greene but Teflon coated. How he played in the grand final after the KO of Dylan Shiels remains a slur on the AFL to this day.
Cotchin a protected beast - has been a sniper for years now and should have missed a GF - Tex is right and of course he will be forgiven, by most
You are aware that in that grand final the crows out scored Richmond in 2 quarters and only lost by 48 points which is no where near the biggest grand final loss and is less than the bulldogs lost by last year. Get over it. Your club is in rapid decline and so is Cotchin who

Absolutely a high contact. The open hand to the throat could easily break the hyoid bone or the trachea . I’ve said it before and I will say it again it’s only a matter of time before we see a tragedy occurring. Victorians are seduced by the thuggery of Dusty Martin
If I was Peter Daicos I would feel aggrieved by that tackle on Josh’s throat. That in the real world is an assault. Yet on the football field we celebrate it as a Dustin Martin skill. It’s time the umpires stamped it out. I wonder who will be legally liable if a tragedy occurred

I could understand fans trying to turn this into some iconic moment, but the Club itself?!
Bloke gets poo handball, is sold into a cul-de-sac surrounded by three opponents, where he can’t avoid contact and has no one to dispose of the ball to.
It’s a free kick. That’s it.

Dangerous tackle too? Granted, it was momentum that took him to the ground, but he was picked up and body slammed
Lifting someone and slamming them into the ground gets weeks in decent footy associations.
How was that not a dangerous tackle gets me
How was that not a dangerous tackle. 2 actions, dumped him on his back

For all the poo Jack Darling cops, he never gets shots at goal from flopping and flailing the way Jack Reiwoldt does. Darling very rarely receives free kicks even when they are blatantly obvious. #AFLTigersEagles
It’s difficult to tweet fast enough to keep up with all these mysterious free kicks that are swinging the game in Richmond’s favour. #AFLTigersEagles
Bizarre phantom free kick paid to Bolton to halt the Eagles surge and set up the Reiwoldt shot at goal. The umpires arent even concerned with hiding their bias today. #AFLTigersEagles
If you discount the scores Richmond have been gifted by bizarre umpiring decisions, the scoreline would be very close. Actually works in West Coast’s favour in terms of staying in the mix for pick 1. #AFLTigersEagles
Can anyone explain why that last free kick to Daniel Rioli was paid? It wasn’t high or late. He just flung he head back and the ump fell for it. West Coast are being slaughtered by the umpires, even more than usual. #AFLTigersEagles
Hard to distinguish whether this is just another trademark lackluster first half by West Coast, or if they are simply behind because of the deplorably bad and shamelessly biased umpiring. #AFLTigersEagles
Not a bad quarter for the Eagles considering (as usual) they are getting absolutely, unequivocally stuffed over by the umpires. #AFLTigersEagles
Can the Eagles go an entire quarter without being awarded a free kick? #afltigerseagles
Almost ten minutes of game time and the Eagles yet to receive a free. Richmond’s lone goal resulted after a very iffy free against Rotham. #afltigerseagles

Harsh you have to be kidding, he is another version of Mumford and goes in carelessly. Another whinge from Richmond. Boo hoo

stuff Kane lambert retiring with a degenerative hip and Matt Parker a fringe player who isn’t in our best 22 when everyone is fit leaving to go home for family reasons equates to “exodus”
Although the clubs have made some blues in drafting, where I must tip my hat is the club has done extremely well in retaining our A grade stock.

Plus Caddy. Also cooked/past it lol.
So two 30+ guys retire with injuries, one fringe player gets told he won't get a contract so he moves home. Nekminit the place is communist China
-
Its a changing of the guard. Shedda and Jack are probably next. People want to bring in ready mades, I think we should take our picks to the draft and only bring in free agents that wont cost us draft capital. Another 4 or 5 kids to round off the current crop then hit free agents at the end of next year.

You can’t grab a bloke as he’s taking his kick after taking a mark
I thought that was more a 50m penalty at the end. Tackles the bloke behind his mark
Old mate was standing and was already well over the mark. Clear 50 champ
They only won due to having 3 extra players that’s the only way they got two premierships pathetic football club.
Has there been a worse umpired half in the history of the game?
Nice win, AFL, secure those Tigers fan base $$$ in the finals. Bottom line must be a bit low...
With the help of the umpires! Well done to all involved! (https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f44e.png)
So you’re not allowed to stop someone from turning into the corridor or move on the mark. But you’re allowed to step sideways and smother when the player hasn’t moved off their line. The rules committee has wrecked the game.
Yeah watched it again. Richmond player well over the mark and then tackles. Robbed.
Gifted their first goal after bloke was done htb and then that goal review
Disgraceful umpiring. Every other time the ball goes though the goal players can push others to get it through
Tigers were paying the umpires. There was cash involved no doubt.

Why did De Goey get a week for the exact same tackle earlier in the year?
Obvious. De Goey plays for Collingwood and Cotchin plays for Richmond. This is the only difference.
Protected species.
Cotchin biggest protected species in the game.
Any other player, that’s a week. Just ask CJ.
Of course they have, crutch has his own rule book
Cotchin is the most protected species in the AFL
Of course he did. Guy is nearly untouchable with afl
If his name rhymed with Bill Rayes, he would have got 2 weeks for this.
any other player and thats a week
Trent crotchin is a protected species.
Of course they have the filthy little sniper gets away with murder
Death, taxes and the MRO clearing Cotchin.

Settle down everyone. It’s Cotchin, nothing to see here. Richmond are playing finals. You don’t think the AFL are going to do anything abnormal here.
Cotchin is a protected species. Disgusting umpiring #AFLDonsTigers
I have turned off before I smash my TV- I am not a Bomber or Tiger fan but like to see a good game - this was 💩 & the umpiring double 💩 Cotchin has them bluffed + bewildering frees going the Tigers way finished me - Can the finals get professional umpires to run ??
Who’s more protected….Pendlebury / Cotchin or Selwood??
Soft as butter free… Cotchin and Bolton love playing for cheap.. don’t have hard ball gets in them
FFS ….we are outclassed but the umpires have just gone after 1/2 time…..f*** you all, it’s our time too shine. Oh and every time Cotchin goes near the ball, give him a free kick
If Ginnivan stays low after getting the ball, then lifts his arm when tackled it’s talked about for weeks, Cotchin does it and it’s not even mentioned. 🙄#AFLDonsTigers
If Ginnivan did that he’d be crucified. Cotchin dropped the shoulder low in that tackle and gets a free. NOT A SINGLE WORD from the commentators. #aflbomberstigers
Ask Cotchin, the grub. (https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f624.png) (https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f624.png)

Hard fought contest then umps gifting their fwds to break game open
■■■■ Richmond. How many ■■■■■■■ times do they just push players over?
On a positive note, the umps still hate us. And Richmond are nowhere near a flag this year.
F*** them both.
For lynch get free kicks for being looked at?
F*** off Reiwoldt. You sook. Just retire you selfish prick you have never been as good as your cousin .
Your keeping a young bloke out of the side cause your so selfish
I want to see Jack Riewoldt tears when he misses an after the siren goal during the finals series that eliminates his club.
Can someone just deck Bolton and Cotchin into oblivion
Lynch 0 goals ,so how is laverde getting towelled up? Seriously some people on here are unbelievably stupid
I ■■■■■■■ hate Tom lynch

Lol, yeah, Dusty was just an average player before he won THREE NORM SMITH MEDALS.
Who cares how good he was before he won THREE NORM SMITH MEDALS.
Why? Because HE WON THREE NORM SMITH MEDALS!
It's like saying Einstein was still in school before he revolutionized physics. Who the stuff cares?
(It's also definitionally true: before someone is exceptional they are, by definition, unexceptional, which is itself a rather unexceptional thing to say.)
-
Dusty was awesome at 19 lol.
Averaged 20 disposals, 3.5 tackles and 0.5 goals in his debut season.
Even Daicos this year has averaged only higher possessions but less goals and tackles, despite being the best first year player I've seen since...I dunno, Dusty?
-
Also what the heck do they think Townsend should have been penalised for with that tackle? Haha
-
Dusty was a jet from the very first season! He gave Scott Thompson a don’t argue as a teenager! Not to mention kicking goals!
-
The problem is though certain umpires are clearly on the pay role of Richmond. The keep the total free kick down but with how many bad calls are made in Richmond's favour and in a scoring area I'd a joke. This was the correct call. Shouldn't of been given a goal.
Sook harder, Hardwick. Lol you've had MORE than your fair share of calls go your way this season!

It won’t get done. Personally I think Taranto doesn’t get to Richmond…I think he’ll have to find somewhere else.
Hopefully the Bombers (https://discourse.bomberblitz.com/images/emoji/twitter/+1.png?v=12)
you also have to laugh at the fact the more the afl does to try and even the comp, the more it just ends up favouring the teams that are in their success window.
how can a side that won 3 out of the 4 comps 2 years ago be able to afford 2 highly rated players, and geelong will continue to get highly rated players.
gotta love it.
Taranto and Hopper ain’t that good…plus they’re basically the same player. They’ll get in each-others way
They’re not worth what Richmond are going to have to pay (like Essendon with Shiel)
I’ve tried to think through which players are now redundant at Richmond…Dow, RCD, Ross, Graham???..I can’t say I’m interested in any of them.
When are we going to have our time??

Conversely, Richmond are way overhyped and will struggle to make the 8. Yesterday's heroes, who took advantage of the weakest era in the history of the AFL (credit to them for doing so) are done.
(Cats fan)
Richmond are full of excuses and a very negative culture set by the coach. Theretime is over.
(Cats fan)
If Dustys not back to his best Tiggers will be out of the 8. Lions will have a betters season regardless of how Dusty plays
(Cats fan)
Meanwhile the Tigs traded out of multiple drafts for some B-grade GWS off-casts - you'd be crossing everything you don't bundle it for a third straight year - it's now or never.

They were mad keen on Hopper until he flipped them the bird!

Richmond could afford the luxury of countering and changing how the 'status quo' were playing. There were no teams of genuine quality around to come up with answers.
The one team that showed they could do so was Collingwood. Strangely enough, the same team who tried to stand up to Brisbane during their glory days and Geelong throughout 08-11.
Richmond are not a dynasty at all. They were a great team no different to North Melbourne or Adelaide of the late 90's.
A dynasty is a team who can stand the test of time. Brisbane were playing finals every year from 1998-2004. Geelong played finals every year from 2007-2014. Hawthorn were playing finals every year 2010-2016.
Richmond were up from 2017-2020*. They were back again in 2022 and quickly exited in the opening week (likely never to be seen again for years on end).
2011 Collingwood would have beaten any one of the Richmond GF teams. They actually had legit taggers and excellent mid sized defenders to curtail the likes of Martin & Bolton.
Superior ruck stocks to anything Richmond faced versus a washed up Mumford or a Rhys Stanley.
Only area they would have struggled was key post. Lynch and Riewoldt would have had their way but at the same time, there's a reason why Collingwood averaged 117 points per game and only 70 points against.
the criteria for a dynasty is a 3peat
its true because i said so
do not mention richmond in the same category as brisbane 01-03 or hawthorn 13-15. you are not a dynasty
https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/who-will-be-better-in-2023-richmond-or-brisbane.1340024/page-37
-
Lol that same great feeling dynasty who never once managed to defend their premiership and go back to back? Can debate on and on who would win a hypothetical matchup that could never actually come to pass - I personally always side on the later team as the games constantly evolving with coaching, training, skill set, etc. Dynasties have always been defined as 3 flags in a short period of time, they hate Richmond so much they wanna move the goal posts. Also not sure why he’s saying we were only playing finals from 17-20, i know we were wannabees at this stage but we still made finals 2013-15, missed 16, then 17-20, missed 21 and then 22 again. That’s 8 finals appearances in 10 seasons (with hopefully more to come) and 3 flags.
As far as the cats goes, we had 3 flags in 4 seasons and they had 3 in 5 seasons. We went back to back, they never managed to go back to back. We won all of ours in an 18 team comp while they won theirs in a 16-17 team comp. We also had to put up with being shifted down the draft order due to the concessions that the suns and later the giants got and so the bulk of our premiership players were taken in compromised drafts.
-
Would love to see our best dynasty team again Hawks and Lions.
Lions to me were indestructible.
Hawks I don't think had great opposition myself.
-
Richmond won their premierships in a really weak era. It is why the teams they played in their Grand Finals were up for a season or two at most. They (GWS, Adelaide etc) were not up there because they were good, they were up there because the previous heavyweight teams (Hawthorn, Geelong, Sydney and Fremantle) were all in decline.
Richmond's gameplan could be picked apart by good foot skills. A 2013 to 2015 Hawthorn team would have destroyed them as they would have picked apart Richmond and Richmond would not have been able to force that many turnovers.

2013-15 Hawthorn struggled with 2013-15 Richmond.

2013-15 Hawthorn struggled with 2013-15 Richmond.
Roles were reversed in 17-20 & they couldn't get near us.
-
Nonsense, Geelong has been up continuously.
GWS were for several years also, prelim '17, SF '18, GF '19.
Only the crows fell off the face of the planet and if you ask me that was because of their stupid training camp.
-
Having opposition supporters hopelessly try to discredit our 3 flags in 4 years is a problem I really wanted to have 5 years ago. It all just serves as a reminder of how brilliant it's been
-
Geelol were Sham, while we were Secretariat. 2017 QF was the Kentucky Derby, the 2019 PF was the Preakness and the 2020 GF was the Belmont Stakes.
-
When all is said and done, Richmond are really no different to the likes of GWS and GC, a bakelite franchise who weren't even a foundation club.
You Tiggies can tell me that your club has won more flags and while that is true, it's something that Geelong can always change, what can't ever change is that fact that the Tiggies are blow ins to the comp.
As far as the thread goes, wouldn't have beaten 2011 Geelong.
Allowed to join the league with the mighty University in 1908 after the league had been running since 1897, you can sugar coat if all you like but the fact remains that Richmond are not a foundation club, they are blow ins.

How many clubs blew in after us??
2
Footscray and N0rt

Plus Eagles, Crows, Dockers, Power, Suns, Giants.
So that's about 8 teams.
-
Hawthorn?
-
Geelong didn't play in the VFL during some of the war years (1916, 1942-43). So technically they rejoined the comp in 1944 :shh.
We're one of only three clubs that have played in every season since 1908. Carlton & Collingwood the only two to have played every season since the inception of the VFL in 1897.
How many clubs blew in after us??
1925 - Dogs, Haw, North.
1987 - Eagles (Bears also but they merged with Fitzroy)
1991 - Crows
1995 - Freo
1997 - Port
2011 - Suns
2012 - GWS
-
So what that GeeLOL fan is actually saying is that while they have been in the comp longer, they still have less flags than "blow in's" like us & hawks?
-
I'm guessing said baby isn't a big fan of immigrants either. At the end of the day they're just blow-ins. One of the weirder sooks I've seen.

Oh where from ti.. oh wait they lost (https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tab/1.5/16/1f923.png)
Best game ever - I watch the last 2 minutes every night so I go to bed happy!

There is something wrong with the trade system that Richmond gave up high teen picks for two top 10 draftees as they were the only ones they had. If they went to North, GWS would have demanded a top 10 pick for each

We own the Tigers. Always have Always Will. They have just never been able to compete with us head to head
Premierships vs each other Collingwood 4 Richmond 2
Most recent finals win - Collingwood
Richmond haven't beaten Collingwood in a final in 42 years.
Head to Head - Collingwood 120 Richmond 92
Total score against each other Collingwood 2565.2765 Richmond 2411.2587
We own nearly every crowd record they desperately want
A really one sided rivalry due to our dominance over them.

Tell old mate that 11 of the pies 15 flags came 87 years or more ago including the 4 against us that apparently make it a 1 sided rivalry. They’ve won 1 more flag in the last 87 years than we have in the last 6………

Collingwood have the fame and like aura and like love the feral tag and have embraced it and love kind of like it doesnt matter to them.
Richmond are just pricks and like more in your face when winning but crawl under their rocks when losing.
Collingwood are more honest and like it like doesnt matter what others think about then tigers are like get all upset and sooky if you call them something.
Its like water off a ducks back for the Pies.

Let's see how Martin goes when he's 33/34 ... As a forward in a side that was smashed.
Richmond won't be playing finals by the time he gets to that age.
It's a shame because like all athletes, his averages would have taken a hit in the latter stages of his career.
He probably would have been smart to go to Sydney as they will be playing finals regularly for the next few years and with so many crafty forwards, Martin could have hanged out the back of packs and padded those goals stats.

The biggest rivalry these days is Richmond vs the Rest/opposition supporters (least on the Internet
Ever since I joined the online community, only Essendon supporters late 90s/early-mid 00s) come close to the sheer insufferable smugness, Petty gloating and childish baiting that Tiger fans have indulged in (not just here but on social media too) in tbe last 5 years
The fact I was happy as a passionate Carlton supporter that Collingwood whipped them in the 2018 prelim final speaks volumes.

This is the real nut of it all
Tiger fans hate Geelong because we stole "their" flag.
Echoes of trump
If we delve deeper into the fragile tiger psyche, the realisation that the industry regards their style as workmanlike and ugly compared to other more highly regarded teams is hard to accept.
The chip on the shoulder inadequacy grows larger each day and manifests itself in threads such as this. Freud would have a field day with Tiger fans
Stengle could have made the difference. It makes you wonder how their talent spotters could get it so wrong.
It just goes to show what a decent culture can do for a kid.

Richmond's DNA going back to the 1800s is workmanlike. Nothing could make us prouder I'm sure than to be confirmed as a workmanlike club. We earned every premiership we ever won. (We certainly didn't need a host of rule changes to get it done.)
Not sure what Freud's preoccupations with sexual libido and the Oedipal complex have to do with anything, but stoopid is as stoopid does.

Lol Geelong supporters. We beat them on the way to 3 flags including once in the grand final and they think we are the inadequate ones…..

Man that is funny. Us worried about being perceived as workman like and playing ugly after 3 premierships playing that way

Looking forward to when Geelong play their home finals not at the lower ranked opposition's instead. Might be a different story.
Use to like Richmond when they were humble as the underdogs, they got egos when they started winning tho. Lowkey wished they stayed humble
None of these scoreboards are because of “Richmond” they were all because of “Dustin Martin”
2020 Mickey Mouse grand final
Almost like the Umpires didn’t have any influence at all 👏
Tiger fans trying to make themselves relevant again
These matches were played during the Stone Age
They still don’t shut up even after 3 years
Without Dusty Richmond don't win either the prelim or grand final. Both we wasted chances but he was the only reason they got back into it and won it

Changing teams was a definite no-no when I was that age. Any kid that tried it would cop it from the other kids. No one likes a bandwagoner who jumps off one club and onto the reigning premiers.

But Martin has never had 30 disposals in a final. He's just played that little bit better than his teammates in a few grand finals. A great feat no doubt, but he also happened to be the best player in a team that wasn't chock full of stars, so not completely out of the odds (I know you like those).
It brings me back to the eye test. We marvel at the feats of the greatest who've ever played. High marks, long kicks, skill, speed, toughness and a host of other elements separate the greats from mere mortals. How could the greatest player of all time not be capable of marking on other people's shoulders ? But but goal assists. LOL
Richmond fans don't seem to get that Martin isn't physically capable of doing a quarter of the things SNR did for fun.
When I say I've seen heaps of players better than Martin it's never more evident than in a video like this.
Martin is a great player who's had a profound influence on many of the most important games ''he's'' played in, but when it comes to individual feats on a footy field he's nowhere near some of the greats of our game.
Waddling around and kicking some great timely goals in grand finals doesn't suddenly mean you're the greatest player who's laced a boot.
The best players in history have been either the competition's best ''coalface'' midfielders or key forwards.
Martin is neither.
Does his body of work in finals elevate him above the best key forwars or mids ? Not even close.

Non Richmond supporters will not have watched every Richmond game so cannot be certain of Martin's influence, week in week out, in home and away games.
Every Richmond supporter knows how good Martin is and it is a pleasure to have watched him weave his magic...usually right when we need his magic

Oh man didn’t even see it was their 02 side, thought it was their 04 side. Why are they even comparing non premiers with premiers? Port finish 3rd, 1st and 1st from 01-03 and their finals record during that time was 2-6 - there’s a reason they were known as chokers until they finally broke through in 04 against a Brisbane side that had to play a home prelim final at the MCG for some reason.

Yep and they were going for their 4th straight so were probably tired, beat up, less fire in the guts.

Dustin Martin is the best AFL player of this century writes Mark Robinson - do you agree?
*impact in grand finals. He's been average to poor in five wk 1 finals and was not fully fit in the prelim final loss to Mason Cox.
Martin had a great 3-4 years but has been mostly inconsistent outside of that.
Would he be as good if the umpires paid free kicks against him every time he fends someone off by making contact with their neck/face/head?

Even Martin's 2020 when he won the NS was unspectacular - hardly GOAT material - 15th in the AFLCA, not in the top 5 of the MVP, equal 4th in the Brownlow with Dangerfield, but 16 votes behind the winner, didn't even win Richmond's B&F. And yet because he was BOG in the GF somehow we're expected to accept that made him No.1 in the competition in 2020?? Isaac Smith probably isn't top 50 in the competition but he won the NS
He's played well in 3 finals series and badly in 5, that's less than 50%, nothing elite about that.
Yeah, but there were 'reasons' for Martin's bad performances....
Too young, too old, lack of fitness, personal issues.
We need to completely disregard any sub-par performances and only consider a small subset of a small subset of games (only finals and only when he is fully fit and in the prime age range, and also discount any Qualifying Finals they lost because they're nothing more than glorified home and away games) when assessing him.
And he did nothing in the 2018 prelim when you blew your once in a millennium chance to get four flags in a row which only the greatest clubs have done
Dusty is a downhill-skier in finals
Let's use Ablett Snr as an example. Look at his highlights compared to Martin. Ablett could jump on shoulders, kick longer, he was faster, he hit harder, he could kick more freakish goals, he was just generally more uncanny. People would go to games just to see what he'd do that day. Martin doesn't have that ability. No opposition supporter turns up to a Richmond game because of some freakish show Martin might put on. There's literally nothing Martin could do that Ablett Snr wouldn't do better.
BUT because of 3 games Martin is the best player of all time ? And he wasn't particularly dominant in most of them !!! He just played well.
The blokes nowhere near any conversation for best ever.

Give me a break he got Lynch after winning a GF with no trade bans unlike swans with Buddy and now he’s taking GWS players. Of course though the Vic clubs can have everything along with hardly any travelling.

On paper this shapes as reasonable but can we really say 2011 Collingwood was on the same level as 2020 Geelong? Nobody gave Geelong a chance last year. I'd argue the 7 changes in the 2022 side were all crucial in shaping it into a legitimate finals force rather than a team that couldn't hack the real stuff. So yes technically Richmond beat a side that would later become premiers but the consensus is that 2017 Adelaide, 2019 GWS and 2020 Geelong weren't great sides. None of them could cope with Richmond. Whereas in the Geelong triumvirate of premierships Hawthorn and Collingwood stood up, the Bulldogs pushed some much more talented sides to the wire and St Kilda certainly could've nabbed one or two if the ball bounced differently. In a world without Richmond we probably see GWS nab a flag from 7th, Adelaide finally win another premiership (with a worse side than their mid 2000s teams that didn't even make GFs) and universally mocked pretenders Geelong, Port or Brisbane get one. To go with the Doggies fairytale flag from 8th. It's a compliment to say that Richmond were the only strong side in that era who could stand up in finals. 2008-2013 you had multiple teams putting on incredible H&A seasons (18-4 or better) with some underdogs pushing them all the way in finals and even nabbing the odd flag. I just see that as a stronger top 4 collectively.

Nothing says Richmond is a protected club more than Pickett not being sent straight to the tribunal. #afl

Going on from your explantion.
Franklin - Superstar
Pickett - Rising star
McAdam - not either
Lucky Cotchin wasn’t one of the offenders he would’ve been given a bonus.

The reality is that the 17 grand final doesn't even make the top 10 list of traumas experienced by a Crows fan since then. It just doesn't register as pain such is our acquired threshold.
Nek minnit ...
Which the top team had to play away from their home, even though they won both of their finals. #VFL

Shane McAdam has been found guilty of rough conduct on Jacob Wehr by the tribunal ❌
Hey @AFL, what potential for injury was there in this one? (https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f914.png)
Shiel and Cotchin collide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkFSpClBLqQ
Dylan Shiel could not finish the game after showing signs of delayed concussion.
Please tell us all how many games Cotchin was given for that one... (https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f914.png) (https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f595.png) (https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f595.png)

As deliberate as it gets. Literally had a team mate either side and put it out right btw the 2.

He’s correct. Richmond’s membership base includes a lot of pets and people that live overseas (probably bots anyway).
Let’s be honest you guys wouldn’t have won those flags if you kept Hardwick and if he got sacked you wouldn’t be getting those premierships

Richmond don’t scare me really
There a slower side and there lazy
There win and draw have flattered them they could ache easily be 0-2
There dependant so dependant on 6 players it can unravel very quick
Lynch can’t kick goals when the ball doesn’t go inside there 50m so there’s the challenge
Win it at the coal face send it deep and pressure them to death

“Lynch can’t kick goals when the ball doesn’t go inside their fwd 50”
Geez what a revolutionary take that is. If only every team knew that to stop the opposition forward from kicking goals, you’ve just got to keep the ball more then 50 metres away from the goal…..

No brainer. He’s 100% spot on. When Richmond miss out on the 8 this year they will go back to having an empty MCG.
If there is one side I hate it's Richmond and looking forward to the game Friday

If it was an Adelaide player doing this to a Richmond player it would be 5/6wks, just like last year Cotchin went studs up and kicked Walker over the boundary. Grub club.

2020 will forever be tainted.
Half the competition couldn't give a sh*t just like most other sporting codes around the world. And I'd say the same thing if Geelong pinched that flag.
17 week season, 16 minute quarters lol, no wonder it'll be the last time in decades your mob win anything.
Your last flag was won in a bubble. A time when the world couldn't really give a toss about sport. Most teams weren't trying. Games were delayed, shortened, and the finals began in round 19!
lol, that is right around the time when potential finalists are settling their best 22 for the month leading into finals.
2020*

IIRC, the mafia/media was saying at the time something along the lines..
“Whichever team wins the flag this year(2020) in such disruptive conditions it will be the greatest win since the competition started”
I may be wrong but is should have added. “…except Richmond”

Tom lynch not suspended isn't a shock the bloke is the most protected player in the league
Tigers big VFL club of course they win absolutely no surprise
Rubbing the Trent Cochin genie.
3 certainties in life: death, taxes, and Tom Lynch being cleared at the tribunal.
The grubbiest grub to ever grub
No one should be surprised with this decision it is lynch after all
One of the worst, cowardly, snipers, we’ve seen in footy. Cheap shots, dog acts, and intent to hurt players in vulnerable situations.
Can play footy, no doubt. But Lynch is cowardly sniper of the worst kind.
Of course he’s free to play l said he’s a Richmond player and a Victorian one of the protected. a player from any interstate team would have been rubbed out. Who cares if Alex got knocked out we are supposed to be protecting the players. I am so over the MRO, mob of crooks.
That’s it! I’m officially unfollowing the AFL now! This is beyond a farce. This thug should have been banished for 4+ weeks!! And he’s just gotten 0! The AFL need to have a hard long look at themselves and how they operate because they are losing loyal fans. Goodbye, AFL!

Every year it’s “should Richmond steal [insert star player from non vic club here]”. Can they develop their own talent for once? Most of their star players came from trades!
Why don’t the tigers just take all of the Giants list why there’re at it

Better headline.
How about some other teams manage their lists better instead of offering stupid money on back-ended deals that are guaranteed to cause cap pressure and result in a fire sale?
Looking at you GWS, Pies etc

Richmond are an average side. Auskick footy.
Full side we win by a lot.
True, Richmond rely on snaps at goal, scrubbing the ball along the ground and punching it forward. It worked against us because our team balance was shot. Parfitt and Bews were terrible, but there were several not much better. The extra handball to a player under the pump happened with regularity. Sometimes it's better to just kick the ball forward. Two Geelong players competing against each other while one Richmond player waits for the ball to be fumbled out. 3 Geelong backs going for the mark against 1 Richmond forward. 5 Geelong players swarming in the honeypot while 3 Richmond players wait for it to be squeezed out. The video will make for interesting viewing during the week.
I'm sick of getting outcoached by that idiot Hardwick. When every long kick goes to an unmarked Tiger then something is way, way off.
That reminded me of the 2020 GF and was most unpleasant.
We won pretty much all the stats, despite playing poorly and kicking for goal poorly. 8 premiership players out, while Richmond played their best game of the year and kicking out of their ass at goal.
Let the media run win the tigers are back lol.
Being at the game it seemed that majority of the Richmond crowd must have come in after they opened the gates at 3/4 time
The crowd was silent when Richmond ran out at the start of the match, and even during the first half they made noise but nothing crazy
According the board, the attendance was a tad over 58k, and they seemed to finally find their voice in the last - but damn that's got to be disappointing for Richmond with that turnout
They want these Friday night matches and to be taken seriously as a "Big Club", but when you factor in the Geelong crew that would have turned up, less than half of Richmond's reported 100k+ members turned up for a home match at their home ground
One reason I love Geelong & our home games - our fans turn out to support our club, and there's barely a seat to be found regardless of our opponent & when where playing down at KP
The crowd of 58k tonight was pathetic, there is no amount of tiger fan crying that should be able to stop them playing at KP next year.
When they do have a whinge, point to this game and ask where the other 50k members were.
It is an indictment on Richmond that we were alive so late and that their million dollar midfield got thumped in clearances by a VFL side. The Taranto and Hopper deals will haunt them for a long time.
Geez Richmond's game style means they give away more frees than they get, regularly.
Tonight it was 2:1 in their favour. Every dodgy one seemed to go their way apart from Jezza's dropped mark.
Think we were a bit unlucky there. Umps rarely matter as much as people think. I recon you get one game a year where you can feel a bit aggrieved, hopefully this was it.
Not allowed to touch dusty but hes allowed to push, got it
Giving Richmond fans a bone in a year they won’t amount to much will ensure they will be posting rubbish at the pointy end about how they “beat Geelong at their best”.
https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/argh-bugger-tigers-by-24.1356691/

Two years ago they were chasing sheep around on pre season camp.
Last year they were building sandcastles in Lorne.
This year they’re passing out in heat chambers.
