What is your favourite Tiger win of the Hardwick era (2010 onwards)?
Here's a top 10 posted on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AFpI1htb3c

If grand finals, 2017 and 2020 GF tie for me
If general finals the prelim in 2017 to break the geelong hoodoo
General home and away?
The Sydney matches with Rance vs Franklin match ups have good memories
The away win against port in 2017 where Rance got tagged
Can’t remember which year but that game dusty tore apart tthe entire bulldogs midfield

After watching that youtube selection I teared up during the 2017 clip. Watching Benny's reaction.
So it's the 2017 Grand Final win for me

2017 GF above all else. Means the world to me

Outside of the GF wins, the 2017 one in particular
The 2017 QF against Geelong. First time we had beaten in what like seem forever and that night I knew anything for this team was possible. That night the noise, the atmosphere; so very special
Our first win under Dimma over in Adelaide against Port. It was cold, it was wet no one gave us a chance and we did it.

2017 QF was the best game I’ve ever been to that wasn’t the 1995 win against Essendon
2019 when Lynch tore Geelong a new one was also fantastic

Agree with all re: 2017 GF, but this comment in bold is so true for me also.
I didn't really expect to win that game. Thought maybe we'd over-achieved throughout the H&A, easy draw, Dusty in the best form etc. Felt like Geelong would roll us when it mattered like 13-15. I guess my confidence was so low.

Home and away - hard to beat the West Coast win ( 2019 )
I don’t believe the Sydney win ( 2016 ) deserves to be on that list on account of how crap we were that year .
The 2014 ( 9 in a row ) was at that point the most intense emotionally draining experience I have endured.

On top of others people have already named.
Prelim vs Port. Just a sensational effort on the road, in the wet, to get to another granny. Lambos 2 clutch goals in the 4th were amazing. In fact that H&A game against port in 2019 where we had injuries piling up and managed to take the points home is very memorable too.
Prelim vs GWS - was there in person and don’t think we’ll ever see that many Richmond supporters at a single game again. Noise was deafening!

Off the top of my head:-
Beating Hawks in 2015 - we can beat the best
2014 vs swans r22 to make finals
2016 - vs swans after siren cmon guys, we never win games that way!
2017 - vs Saints r23, under pressure to finish top 4 and Dusty’s game
2017 - QF vs Cats say no more
2018 - handa vs cats - mcg, wet we played balll along boundary from back to forward with handball, taps and speed for a goal that opened up the game. Best exponent of the brand I’d ever seen in our current era
2019 - handa vs eagles eff me, what a game
2019 - handa vs pies after that 2018 finals loss ead mason cox
2019 - qf vs brions - dusty masterclass and a premiership maker
2020 - prelim vs Power, classic
-
My favourite is the 2019 Prelim. Cracking game of footy and despite Geelong playing very well we were still able to come back from 21 points at half-time and over-power them. Cotch set the tone after the main break, Sheds move into the midfield got the ball moving our way, Lynch was immense, and Prestia's sealer off one step was sweet as.
One H/A game not mentioned was the Friday night win against St Kilda in Round 10, 2012. A goal-for-goal shootout in primetime which broke a 14 game non-winning streak against the Saints. Jack kicked 8 and it was a sign of the changing fortunes to come over the following decade for both clubs.

Port Prelim.
That took real guts. Didn't concede for the last 10 minutes.
Chalk and cheese from the Brisbane elim.last year.
I've never been prouder of Richmond because that was more than football; that was all mindset -- a winning one.
