And while you are there watch the boys and upload for a laugh. You will easily get your $7 worth.
You forgot 1921, 1934 and as mentioned 1969. 8 of our 13 flags have involved the handbaggers losing to us on our way to ultimate glory. Yes, our bitches
I wonder if there is any other club involved in as many losses in finals series that resulted in another particular club winning such a high proportion of flags?
I lost count how many times during last season the media (Robbo, Lyon, Healy, Russell, Pinocchio etc) refered to who ever won the 2020 Premiership it would be one of the GREATEST premiership wins in the history of the game.
But we won it,
Covid Cup???

Its like Collingwood if they dont draw in the finals, they don't win it.
*1990-2010 2 draws. 2 wins
*1979-1980-1981-2003-2004-2011-2018 No draw No Win.
*1977 They drew but still found a way to lose.
Last years win means alot more to me then 2017 and 2019.
Because of the countless times over the last 30 years, Geelong have humiliated us.
*Ablett senior would kick average 10.
*The Telstra dome thrashing
*The 95 final where they slapped us, but 7 days later they copped a 10 goal slapping themselves.
60-72 margin paid $56.00
,I remember because i loaded up on Carlton because i hated Geelong.
*The Naish miss at kardanina park
*The countless times the games would be over before half time.
*KB getting reported in Geelong.
*Ottens and Poole leaving to play for them.
*Malcolm blight not respecting us in 94, 'Its just a home and away game"

Nothing will beat 2017 for me. The drought breaker that I never thought I'd see.
However, 2020 was special in its own right and deserves to sit above most modern day GF wins. We didn't have a home game from the point of the restart and the AFL and their media mates tried to do a hatchet job on us all year. No other team that wins a GF will ever have as many reasons why they shouldn't have won it as we did last year.

Agree on both fronts. 2017 was a dream come true. If I dreamt about 2020, I would have been admitted to the mental health ward for a sanity check (hey doc, I just dreamt that I saw Richmond win the GF against Geelong at the Gabba. The game was played at night and the half time show with the ball lights was phenomenal).... but it was bliss all the same.
As an aside I looked the game up. I was there but don’t remember a lot about the game itself
Royce Hart had a lazy 32 possessions playing at CHF that day. I know a lot of us bang on about Hart but before he did his knee he really was a freak of a player.
Bugsy Barrot dominated and Eric Moore kicked 6
Yep. I gave us a slim chance of winning.
But after those two early goals from the crows I was just praying we wouldn’t get smashed. The humiliation of getting killed by 10+ goals was on my mind.
2nd just had my heart in my mouth for the whole quarter.
In the 3rd I believed we could win it.
4th Q was party time.
Just couldn’t stay in my seat all game. Sore legs jumping up and carrying on for the whole game.
Loved it
Im really curious how the media wouldve reacted if Geelong did win.
Because of Novak Dangerfield & Judas Ablett.
Ive just got the feeling they arent to keen on us being champions once again.
They were willing Geelong on.
I can't stand how they keep on bringing up Dustys goal in the 2nd.
We were over running over the top of them with about 8 minutes to go in the 2nd.
And after half time half of them were running on the spot. Selwood looked like a 80 year old.
Nothing against Dusty but it would've been nice to see Short win the NM. To shut them up with the 'No Dusty No Richmond' shiit
When Lambert kicked the 'Yes Yes Yes' goal
I was screaming at them around me to *smile* off back to Adelaide.
We were never going to lose from there.
Whee not Collingwood.
I think Lambert put us up by 30+

2020 premiership was wonderful, but remote.
Imagine the MCG each time Dusty kicked his four goals. The stands would have been shaking in the last.

From where I sit, Zips is less worrying and more stick that up ya arse!
I find it very hard to separate which of the last 3 flags was the best. They were all special.
2017 - Drought breaker when everyone else didn’t rate us. Plus the first GF I attended in person. Didn’t think I would ever get to see one live.
2019 - Redemption after the disappointment of 2018. Against one of the AFL’s manufactured love child. Proved 2017 wasn’t a fluke and proved we were a very good team
2020 - Overcoming immense obstacles ( like most clubs but we triumphed at the end), hub living for months, surviving all the media driven “scandals”, no genuine home games, winning in 5 different states and territories and beating the pussies with the media willing them to win for junior and diverfield because they “deserved “ a flag. This win put us amongst the greats in the league..the only thing sweeter would be if we beat carlscum in that game
If we win this season i would probably put that as the best ever as that would put us in the “ greatest” ever teams in the history of the league.
Of course the threepeat will only be the best until we get the “ foursome” next year

Royce was simply a champion in the number four jumper. He would be an absolute gun in today's game because he would get much more protection today from thuggery than he had to endure during his career.
He and Martin are the two greatest players I have seen play for Richmond in my 50-odd years of following the Tigers.
I've seen many a great player don the Yellow and Black, but none quite the equal of Hart and Martin.
Interestingly I actually said to the people I was with at halftime that we would win in 2017. I think I said that Adelaide can't take the heat
Was still really nervous really until Towner kicked his goal in the last though
Same here - and with Flossy getting caught a couple of times early - I was dead set worried too.
Quite happy to admit that.
