Well I never thought that i could even dream about starting a topic like this.
After the 36 years of failures and struggles we endured, who in their right mind would venture to say that this team could be the greatest Richmond team ever?
With so many different things to consider the one thing that really stands out is the fact that since the 90’s football has become truly professional with millions spent and no stone left unturned to achieve success.
Richmonds other greatest era was the late 60’s early 70’s.
From 67 to 74, 4 Flags.
Legends like Hafey, Hart, Bartlett, Bourke, Clay etc will never be forgotten.
They worked during the day, trained Tuesday and Thursday, a couple of coaches, a doc and a Physio.
A Victorian league, 12 teams, no travelling interstate.
Today........18 teams, all full time professional, massive coaching panels, interstate travel, social media, endless scrutiny.............
Add to this a season like 2020 which will probably never happen again.
Should we win next week, I have little doubt that this Richmond team is
The Greatest Richmond team ever.
