Combined score in both Grand Finals for GWS/Adelaide is 11 goals 19 points. Still not enough to win either 2017 or 2019.
I reckon we could have played a combined team each time and still won both games.

not sure, I'll rewatch it and name him.
I think you've come up with a great concept there Totty.
All Australian V Richmond.
Imagine how many of us will buy Big R jumpers?
and the especially good thing is Dusty plays for Richmond
Why cant The AFL think of things like this for their *smile* novelty marketing filler stuff?
Gee, I wonder which would be more entertaining, sell more merch, get bigger ratings
The reigning premiers V the AA side or Team Rampage V Team Deadly?

I saw one out at Waverley one year, could have been Hawks v the All Stars.
Stinking hot day, bars ran out of VB cans by half time, then had the nerve to sell XXXX after that. Suffice it to say, I was smashed at half time, and drove home sober
After 30 odd years, including about 4 just to get out of the car park, i can't remember the score, but i do remember it was a good game, it was pretty hot (mid 30s?), XXXX tastes like beer flavoured cordial, and i kinda miss VFL Park
Watching Houli's grand final recollections on the RFC website - is he the ultimate team man and big game player?
I don't think I would've said that when he first came to the club but glad to be proven so very wrong.

Not conclusive Waiting but I reckon its *smile*? (edit; forgot swear filter doesn't like his name - dutch wild pig tagger)
Im having trouble finding it, but I think it happened twice to shed and the other one may have been Hopper?
GWS took the contrived, country footy macho routine through the finals, and
as I predicted, it made Richmond significantly better.

Seriously, and this may have been said elsewhere by others, but I could clearly see that our players were really careful to ignore any roughhouse tactics by GWS in retaliation. Aside from a bit of drag an opponent off a team-mate, push and shove etc. We chased and tackled hard but never fell for any dumb attempts to distract us from winning the hard ball fairly, moving it on quickly and converting it up forward. Dimma had obviously instructed our boys not to fall for any crap they might try.
This is proven by the stats too. Although each side won the same 361 disposals, our ball-use 3.3% better (looked far more). And, amazingly, after some shocking early decisions like that first top mark by JR unpaid, even the umps had to reward us for some dumb GWS tactics.
How often do we win the free-kick count 20/13?
Yeh, I remember the days of the train then bus. And once I got a car searching everywhere in the car park for the bloody thing. Always used to have a kick after the game waiting for the car queues to die down. The race to the middle after the second siren blew. All the young guys hovering on the fence ready to jump and run. And it was a sizeable drop to the ground at waverly. Miss that constant thump of footies you'd hear when kicking out on the ground. And the dodging of footies. Most people were pretty respectful about space.
GeeWhizz played Tupperware tough footy all finals series. Their " hard " edge was mostly late incident scragging n face clawing. Genuine tough is head down, arse up over the loose ball n laughing when big pricks like Jeremy land on top of you, or smiling n hair ruffling when Toby gets all agro n macho.
