Is this the best Richmond team since 1982 ?
« on: July 27, 2015, 02:31:19 PM »
Apart from Hawthorn , who look like they are in a class of their own.

I can't remember a Richmond team this close to being perhaps the second or third best team in the competition.

West Coast are a worthy number two - but the gulf is not huge.

One silly brain fade away from beating the Dockers twice in 6 weeks.

Sydney look shot to pieces

If we can finish 4th ( tough but not impossible ) and play the Dockers in the first week of the finals  -

Dare to dream.

easily the best and most consistent team we have had since 1982


3 finals appearances in a row, beats 2 prelims in 6 years

Imagine if we were playing West Coast , Fremantle or Sydney in a Preliminary final.

Not saying we would win but it would be exciting times

Unless we crapped ourselves like the Port and Carlton finals. Still a bit suspect under real pressure when the occasion calls for the opposite.

This is the best Richmond team since 1982 at this time of the season and in terms of its ability to match it with the best sides in the comp. The 1995 side blitzed the first half of the season until the loss of Freezer in round 5 and then Richo and Stuart Wigney both in round 9 at the SCG, all took its toll.
