Lucky enough to get down & watch training today.🙂🙏
Really good hitout.
Some real + to take away.
Saw how the gameplan is unfolding.😎
Fawcett, Peucker & NRT impressed. McAuliffe, Gray too.
Lalor, Hotton ⭐️
Rossy, MJ, Trigger & Sonz showed plenty.
Getting closer.💪🐯
Go Tiges.

Lynch & Jonty both in rehab but look super fit. No issues there.
Armstrong & Gibcus had a great battle & canceled each other out.
Fawcett the stand out. Did well in his clash with Balta. 😎

Richmond Rant / Re: Kane Cornes rates the last 26 AFL premiers (SEN)

All good mate.
If the topic is pure talent on the basis of premiership teams then our 2020 team has to be in the top 5.
If it’s talent alone, then make it about the teams that finished 1st in the h&a season.
The thing about the AFL, the best teams and players rise to the occasion in finals so that becomes more relevant.

Look at Dangerfield vs Dusty.
Most superficial analysis has Danger ahead of Dusty but anyone worth their salt knows who the better player has been over their career.

Damo, the main issue I have with this rating based on his criteria was that it was our third flag, was back to back and won away from the G.
Can’t fluke 3 flags.
These are all criteria he has used to evaluate the talent.

All fair enough
But I still think we were the best team in 2018, 18w 4l and 136%, finishing two games clear on top. In 2020 we won 12 from 17 and finished third on the ladder. Then lost week one of the finals and scraped home in the prelim. 

By Kane’s assessment in 2020 and having us ranked low because he didn’t think we were the best , one would hope he assesses 2018 low because of the same reasoning.

On that logic alone, Eagles 2018 flag has to be behind our 2020 one. I would throw in Swans and Eagles in 2005 and 2006 as well. Even Port 2004 and Cats in 2022, for all of the hoopla of their h and a record, it didn’t stack up when it mattered

I agree with what you are saying
Which is the point I was making

If downplaying 2020, he definitely should have lowered the rating of the 2018 eagles

Why is the Cats one of 2022 not already in there?
