I really liked the fact that our senior players stood up when it counted. Their leadership was fantastic. When really stood out for me was in the third quarter Rance giving advice to Broad when Broad looked jumpy. Broad consequently settled down did a good pass to Vlas and the rest is history. I also really liked the fact that we turned out in massive numbers and made it a very hostile environment for Geelong.

The Tigers' stunning Friday night final quarter of 7.3 (45) against Geelong, which almost doubled their three-quarter time score of 46, was Richmond’s greatest fourth quarter in a final since 8.4 (52) in the 1980 Grand Final.

The Tigers pressure was through the roof on Friday night, recording a pressure factor of 209, their highest amount of pressure recorded since 2012.

Who was arguing with TM about Dimmas game plan in 2012 and earlier?

Was that the season average for 2012 though or just the season high?

What was our tackles average that year?

Scores from forward turnovers?

I loved this passage from Jack’s Mr Brightside book leading up to playing the Cats before the tremendous 2017 QF…thwack.
