Never have fans suffered an era when the afl's most dominant team of the time been as insufferable as the present. I long for the days when Hawthorn were winning premiership after premiership.https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/without-a-woman-in-charge-would-richmond-have-embraced-mindfulness-and-been-successful.1232374/#post-63688398
Does on a “good day” mean at the MCG?WC thrashed the Tigers at Optus in 2018. The Tigers were losing most away games in 2017-2018, off memory it was 5-6 away losses in a row. Even in 2019 they only won 55% of away games and two of them were against fellow MCG tenants.
“Even in 2019 they only won 55% of their away games and 2 of them were against fellow MCG tenants”Actually they ‘only’ won 67% of their away games in 2019.West Coast on the other hand won 58% of their away games including 1 against a fellow Optus Oval tenant.Do you just make this stuff up??
Maths obviously isn’t a strength amongst Tiger fans.Fortunately B Gale knows basic arithmetic and how lucky he is to have friends in high places that look after his boys.Tigers won 55% of away games in the H&A 2019.Tigers won a measly 20% of games on the road (interstate) against weak opposition bar one (Giants).Total Away Games = 11Total Away Win/Loss = 6/5 (55%)Interstate Games = 5Interstate Win/Loss = 1/4 (20%)MCG “Away/Home” Games = 3MCG “Away/Home” Wins = 3 (100%) – no surprise there – Tigers live the MCG and the VFL/AFL and awoke fans know it.Marvel “Away” Games = 3Marvel “Away” Win/Loss = 1/2 (33%) – just down the road and against weak opposition.Tigers @ Marvel beat the Saints and lost to North and Dogs – 1 x Finalist (8th).Tigers @ MCG beat the Blues, Demons and Pies (Blues and Dees lol) – 1 x Finalist.Tigers interstate beat the “SUNS” and LOST to Freo, Crows, Port and Giants – 1 x Finalist.Out of 11 away games the Tigers only played 2 against Top 4 teams (WC played 4) and Tigers won 1 (MCG) and lost 1 (50%) and they only played away against 3 x Top 8 teams in total for 1 win (33%).Tigers have a terrible away record – gifted fixture and tainted flags if ever there was – but you won’t hear that on the nightly news!R1 – Blues – MCG – wonR3 – Giants – lostR4 – Port – lostR7 – Dogs – Marvel – lostR8 – Freo – wonR11 – North – Marvel – lostR13 – Crows – lostR15 – Saints – Marvel – wonR16 – Suns – wonR19 – Pies – MCG – wonR20 – Dees – MCG – wonNow let’s look at the Eagles away record…Total Away Games = 11Total Away Win/Loss = 6/5 (55%) – same as Tigers but much tougher away opponents and venues.Interstate Games = 10Interstate Win/Loss = 6/4 (40%) – Tigers (20%).West Coast @ MCG beat the Pies and Hawks and lost to Tigers by 6 points.That’s 2 x Top 4 sides with a 50% strike rate (away) and only went down to the “premiers” by one goal on their home deck.Out of 11 away games West Coast played 4 against Top 4 teams (Tigers 2) and won 1 (25%).Clearly, West Coast had the tougher draw and yet they still creamed the Tigers in true away win/loss when you factor in quality of opposition and venue.R1 – Lions (Gabba) – lostR3 – Pies (MCG) – wonR6 – Cats (GMBHA) – lostR8 – Saints – wonR10 – Crows – wonR12 – Sydney – lostR15 – Hawks – wonR16 – Freo – wonR18 – Demons – wonR20 – Blues – wonR22 – Tigers – lostNow that I’ve had time to reflect – Longmire has been a better coach than Dimma this decade.Clarko, Simmo, Horse, Dimma in that order.
When you accuse others of not being strong in maths, you want to pretty sure you have your figures right. Richmond beat Port and Freo interstate. That makes it 60%. Add in finals and it is 4 out if 6 games or 67%. Did any other club do better?Perhaps you should have had some sleep instead of posting garbage in the middle of the night.
I’d have Simmo ahead of Dimma. 2 x GF’s against the lower ranked team with the game played on their opponents home ground for one win.Clarko is clearly in front even with his home ground advantage as he made 4 x GF’s.
Read my latest post (if it passed moderation) above. The numbers speak for themselves.Tigers have been given a gifted fixture.Interstate clubs like WC generally have it much harder. WC finished 5th last year and almost all pundits acknowledge that WC has the toughest 2020 fixture – no surprise there!
What did he say after it was pointed out that we beat both port and freo?
Like I said on another thread a while back iv always hated other vic teams over interstate teams due to having to listen to their crap first hand. But with social media and websites such as theroar you really come to realise how the interstate fans love to play the victim card and bring up “vic bias” when discussing literally any topic.
This is a really good point MT. We got nearly 60k vs Eages and 70+ vs Lions so the fortress is at least as intimidating as those grounds in SA and WA
The start of draft night is always good when you're reigning premiers. It's the first official AFL meeting since the GF so Gill will congratulate us. Is Chris Scott in the room?

ps. By the way, Gill forgot to congratulate us last night .
