Each #AFL premier since 2000 ranked by defensive efficiency in their finals series. That is, the % of opposition I50s that result in scores.

That is not to suggest that Richmond is a better team than Essendon in 2000, or Geelong in 2007, but there is something to be said for a ...
team that has developed their game plan to a fine art when it matters most. This defense translated to an average winning margin
... of 45 points in their three finals. To beat the the three best teams of the year (with the possible exception of Sydney) by 7 goals ...
... is quite incredible.
This table ranks the teams by the differential between their offensive efficiency and def. eff.

Richmond not quite elite but the best of the teams at the next level.
Anyway, I don’t think I’ve got a particular point. I’ve loved the way that Richmond not only applied pressure this year, but also ...
... the way they’ve absorbed pressure. Their game, once perfected, was built for finals. I would have no problem with other teams mimicking
... the way they play. Neutral fans, including myself, usually want close finals but I love seeing a team systematically dismantle ...
... their opposition as much as I love a close game.

It's all well and good, every year this happens.
I don't give a stuff
WE ARE PREMIERS

Are we the youngest premiership side?

All this whinging about teams going to try play a pressure game from now on, and the aesthetics of the game will be impacted... :lol
Our three elimination finals, as soon as the pressure was put on us, we crumbled. Finals is all about pressure, everything goes up a notch. I'm surprised all the other sides seemed to apply a distinct lack of pressure.

The average points conceded by Richmond throughout the 2017 finals series of 55.7 was the lowest by a premier team since Hawthorn in 1988 with 50.5 points.
