As per the thread title: What were your favourite moments of 2019?
-
Sydney Stacks bump on Viney
-
Don’t know about favourite moments but my favourite games were the wins against port in Adelaide and against the eagles.
-
just over 9 minutes into the second quarter of the grand final when Cotchin makes that tackle on the Geelong player, Caddy gets the loose ball handballs to Prestia who kicks hard to a fast leading Lynch (with Taylor trailing 5m behind). Lynch marks and kicks the goal.
From that point I knew we had the premiership.
-
The win against the Eagles was the best game of the season. That was the real Grand Final.
Richmond's win against Port in round 4 was amazing - without our big 4 . Big Tom stood up.
I really liked our win against Fremantle in the West. Still miles off our best side - we blew them away playing our VFL team. Very satisfying.
The Prelim has been revisited a few times at my house.
The Grand final for me was a little anticlimactic - like when Tyson knocked out Spinks in 90 seconds
-
Port and Freo interstate wins against the odds.
All the injuries in the first half of the season eventually becoming a blessing in disguise as we got to find out how much young talent we have on our list and see them unexpectedly stand up earlier in the year when we needed them to.
Stack's bump on Viney.
Flogging Essendon in Dreamtime to give them another reality check.
Flogging the Pies in R19 with the game over at half-time.
Comeback win over the Eagles in R22.
All 3 finals and of course the flag.
An equal club record 12 wins in a row.
Pickett's story. The stuff of legends that will be talked about for years and decades to come.

Definitely win over WCE. Very tough game! Followed by PF vs Geelong.
And close too.
I go to most games these days expecting to win. Games like that aren't as common anymore.

People seem to be confusing "moments" with "matches".... :shh

Some matches felt like continuing moments of pure joy

The moment when the Richmond Football Club transitioned from sustained success to pure excellence.

Jack's tap to Dusty in the Prelim.

How we won it all after so many injuries in the first half of the year.

The games and moments that defined the 2019 AFL season

No headline of stars? No worries – Port Adelaide vs Richmond, Round 4
No Dustin Martin, no Jack Riewoldt, no Trent Cotchin, no Alex Rance, no wins for Richmond outside of Melbourne since 2017? No worries. This afternoon at Adelaide Oval was a big statement win for the eventual premiers. Not many people gave them a chance given a number of key players missing and their horrific recent form on the road, but they did it. Led by Tom Lynch and Dylan Grimes, the Tigers steadied after quarter-time and recorded their first victory on the road in over a season in superb fashion.
The last loss – Adelaide vs Richmond, Round 13
It’s incredible to think that after Round 13 Richmond was sitting eighth on the ladder with a percentage of 92. A Thursday night loss to Adelaide was Richmond’s third on the trot and they weren’t looking like the frightening Tigers outfit we’ve become accustomed to. That pre-bye loss would be their last of the season. Fifteen weeks later they won the premiership.
The grand final – Richmond vs GWS
This is the ultimate prize, what teams play for year in and year out, so it would’ve been a crime to not put this in. The premiership was going to be significant for both sides. It could’ve been the Giants’ first premiership since inception, while the Tigers were aiming for their second flag in three years. Sadly the game was a fizzer and will likely only be replayed by Richmond supporters this off-season. But it was a huge statement from the Tigers, who went from a club in disarray at the start of the decade to two-time premiers by the end. Only the Hawks with three flags in ten years did it better. An incredible achievement for a club that appears to have more in the tank.

The win against West Coast. Great win. One for the ages.

The Harlem Globetrotter-like play in the Granny that lead up to Pickett's goal.
