I'm especially curious to see how many were lucky enough to get to all 3.

I'm also curious to see how many of the 12 finals you have attended.

I went to the 2017 and 2019 Grand Finals and 8 finals (all of the finals except the 4 in 2020).

2017 and 2019 went to all finals. Including Gabba.
2018 only missed one. AFL sold guess passes ahead of richmond Gold member status. Wasn’t happy at the time but missed The2018 PF.
Everything this year was from a couch in Melbourne.

Had tickets for 2017 but wasnt allowed to fly so I missed that. It's my biggest regret.
2019 grabbed the two boys and we flew into Melbourne for the day to watch the Tigers win a Grand Final live.
2020 obviously not.

But I've seen us win a Grand Final, live, with my two boys. Any more will be just more icing on the cake. I can die a happy man

When you say ‘attend’ do you mean at the ground or lounge room?

For me 2020 was a write off..... went to every final 17:) 18:(19:) - Bris.... so that's 7 for me.
Fortunate enough to have seen us win 7 flags live:)

Yes - as with Baloo saw the 2019 grannie so to me anything more is a bonus.

I saw the 2017 and 2019 prelims which again were very special and the 2018 qual final against the hawks which was worth the travel plus our two MCG elimination finals.

So thats 6 finals with this squad.

For me, we had two grand final guarantees that we paid for over about 12 years in the hope one day we would get there, but midway through the 2016 year, we left to work overseas for 12 months and the family were jack of the footy as it just wasn’t pleasant watching the team unravel so at the end of 2016 we canceled out gf guarantee @#-#*$++ dam it. :mad:

PF and GF 2017.
QF and GF 2019.
QF, SF and GF 2020.

And no I don't take it for granted that I have seen 3 premierships in 4 years. Sometimes when I'm doing mundane jobs around the house, I often think the of Premierships. People who pass my house and notice I have a big grin on my dial when mowing the lawns must think I'm a bit short in the head.

2020 everything on TV.
Watched the 2nd half of the 2020 GF 56 times.
*you need to listen to the commentators when we hit the lead, they're flat as a tack.
The after game summary is a disgrace. They were going on how Geelong should've put us away before half time.
They don't mention the demolition job we did on them after half time.
64pts to 16pts
Even if they had a 6 or 7 goal lead we wouldve caught them.
The look on Scott's face...priceless

2020 - Zip

I feel so lucky to have been able to go to all of our MCG finals. A return of 6 Wins & 1 Loss - happy with that tho the 1 loss was devastating!

Apart from the emotion of the 2017 drought breaking GF win, the 2 wins over Geelong are a special highlight & the 2017 GWS PF because of the atmosphere/crowd - the reaction to those first 2 goals were just incredible (my misso had tears in her eyes from the intensity of it all)!!!

I think the Tiger Army discovered its voice & what an impact we could have during the 2017 QF against Geelong.
I will never forget the noise we made at the start of the 3qtr time break - I think we knew we had them!

Just the ‘19 grand final. My dear wife said I should go to the 17, but was way too nervous to even contemplate it.

Lucky enough to get 3 tickets to the 19. Took my eldest and his mate. Best day ever. Period. Full stop.

Funds are never that free that I could contemplate a prelim, qf, etc. (Hobart based) and if im honest, prefer to watch the finals apart from the granny alone.

Very similar profile and crazy grin for me.

17 - pf and gf
18 - pf
19- qf pf gf
20 - sf gf

Ive got a hat and a pair of nike airmax i call my 'triple premiership' hat and shoes.

My youngest son EZJ has been beside me every game and final, except the 18 prelim. He joked for 2 years that he was undefeated until he went to the 20 QF without me. 'We're even' i texted him afterwards.

I know how lucky i am. I literally count my blessings every single day.

The bookies also know how lucky i am. I reckon theyve spent 50 grand on hotels, flights, tickets, food and drinks through this great era.

And we're not finished yet

I reckon snake would be one of the rarest beasts in tigerland. 17, 19, 20 PF's and GF's and he missed the 18 PF.

I envy you for 2020 and the 2019 QF but commiserate that you weren't there when we pantsed Geelong in 2017. The boo when they entered had to be experienced to be understood, as did the 3/4 time roar.

The 2017 Grand Final is the only Richmond game I have personally attended since Round 18, 2011.
I live in Denmark and the game was the only reason I went to Australia. Quick six day visit.
Haven't been back since.

I think you can claim a kind of altruistic spiritual attendance at the 20 gabba GF brother

Snake was at the 17 QF and incredibly the 20 PF and he reckoned it was like an inverse universe
