Pretty impressive . Beating the undefeated Dockers at the "house of pain". Playing brilliantly on the Friday night show piece .
Surely up there with beating Sydney in rd 24 last year .
And the twin floggings of Hawthorn in 2012/13
-
Hawks by 10 goals was better
-
beating hawthorn in the wet and chris newman going super saiyan was pretty special.
i actually really enjoyed the win we had against sydney last year purely for Alex rance dominating the entire Sydney forward line

'Twas a great win no doubt about it. I wasn't expecting it at all.
Beating the scum always gets me aroused and beating the p1ss&poo also gives me a great feeling in the nether regions.
All this means jack crap though until we win finals.
These are the wins that mean something & unless we are doing this we are pretenders & good wins are meaningless.
Beating the scum in that final would've been great but that's all I remember until we win a final game that's truly worth something.
That's the "Richmond way" I'm talking about!

Hawthorn in the wet.
I was there and I was soaked and I loved every moment.
Morris' first AFL goal. Jackson and Edwards kicking the most fluked ones every, off the side of the ankle and from some ridiculous angle respectively. And Shake Tuck coming on as the sub and icing the cake. Then Jack pulling massive grabs in the rain...

Don't want to knit pick Andy - but I think Morris's first goal was the year before ( 2012) - the year it pi$$ed down was 2013 - anyhow both great wins.

First time we beat Hawthorn that was a very good win. Out of nowhere, well coached, smart game plan, executed perfectly
-
Hawthorn was off their game that day. The surprise factor (our first big scalp in years) made it seem like the mother of all wins at the time.
Sydney in last round was a better win for mine, but the downside was Sydney rested players.
Freo win just pips both.
The 1995 final against Essendon is head and shoulders above all in the last generation of Football.

Sydney game for me. Had the biggest carrot ever if we won and in times gone by we would have crumbled like a biscuit. Sure they had a few out but their top 25/26 players are all very good AFL players. Perfect example is Tom Michell, struggled to get a game regularly until recently but would be in our top 10 players IMO..
Awesome win and something I'll not forgot for awhile.
Friday nights first quarter was the best and most complete quarter I have ever seen from a Richmond side. We hit targets, kicked straight and fumbled only twice for the quarter. :gotigers

In no particular order of greatness just picking from each year.
2010 v Sydney came from over 5 goals down late in the third . Kicked the last 3 pf the third and then Andrew Collins after being felled kicks the two goals to give us a four point win.
After being 0-7 and being labelled as worse than Fitzroy to win that with the kids given until then wins against Sydney were as rare as hens teeth made me think these kids are good and how much belief can this group have given the right nurturing.
2011 v Freo. Led all day. Kicked 23 goals including 8 in the last. Jack, Martin, Cotchin, Conca, Vickery all our early draft picks played superbly. Nahas kicked one the great team gut running goals at the City End in the second. Best win under Dimma in 30 odd games only slightly better than the Dreamtime win in front of 83K a fortnight later.
2012 v Hawthorn. Everything went right for us. The weather, the team, Hawks slightly off the boil and a 8 goal last quarter inspired by Maric, Tuck, Martin, Cotch and a few speccies from Jack made it even better. Jako kicked a rippa and Morris kicked his first league goal both at the Punt Rd end. Made the footy world take notice and consider us as a potential real dealer in subsequent seasons. The fact the following week we had St Kilda at the dome on the Friday night made the hype huge also.
2013 v Hawthorn. Again in the wet. Inflicted one of Hawthorn's 3 losses of the year the other 2 were against the Cats. We had lost to Sydney the week before but we just beat Hawthorn in contested footy all day. After scores we're slightly in our favour at the main break the heavens opened in the third the goals flowed including Titch and Jako gems in the last in a runaway 41 point win that signalled we were playing finals in 2013.
2014 v Adelaide I thought was better than Sydney. Both teams virtually playing an EF. We had won 6 in a row and had never played at the Adelaide Oval. Got off to a good lead pegged back even got the rub of the green in the third when an Adelaide shot was deemed to have hit the post. Then when Adelaide hit the front in the last Cotch stepped up and late goals to Gordon and a Dusty 1 on 1 classic sealed a 10 point win and ensured our home and away season would go down to the wire in the last round v Sydney and yes Dusty's 1 on 1 heroics in the last and Rance and Batch standing up in those frantic final few mins.
2015- As a plan working to a T, yes Freo and Port but beating the Pies for the first time in 8 years was sweet in front of our home crowd. Here's to alot more games making the shortlist in 2015 bith home and away and finals. :thumbsup

I think the Freo win because we looked to be able to shift gears competently. In the past it was left to too few to do all the work like kamikaze pilots and run themselves into the ground and other factors favored us. This win felt rock solid from start to finish, an aggressive fast scoring start, a gear shift to a weather their push back and then nailing the fourth to bury them. Most pro win we have had in a long time imho.
-
I'd be more looking for a come from behind win, so to speak.

There's been a few I'm pleased to say, to win v Syd to make finals last year, was like stuffen whoa man , my feet didn't touch the ground for a week :dancing
