easy question.
Geelong.
Simple as that.
Look at the records and youll see that Geelong have made at least 4 grannies and as many finals again only to fail,no matter how weell they have played during the home and away games.
Thats why I am cynical of em.
Richmonds record will show that comparitively when we made grand finals.....we won them......

This sums up the Bombers. After they won the flag, my best mate who barracks for the bombers bet me they would win the next 2 to go three in a row. I accepted the bet, and the terms were loser has to shave EVERY folicle of hair off their body.

Naturally he lost the best, but refused to pay the price. He said his wife wouldn't let him do it, but she then rejected that telling him to shave. He then mumbled a bit and moved on with his life.

Lesson is Bomber fans are downhill skiers who like bagging easy targets, but God forbid you have a hard haul. Since the ego boost of 84-85, if their fans had to go through what we have for the past 25 years they would have had to shut their club down due to lack of interest.

They won the flag in 2000 though.

True just thought out of those teams listed they were the ones that should have won more than any other.When it came down to the last four they were favourites in 1999 and 2001 but they did not win and then fell away after that to be a non contender. Should have also done more with the list after 1993 premiership but didnt aflling back to 10th in 1994 and beaten once again as favourites in 1995 (against a good team though)
Also lost in 1990 when they finished on top of the ladder.
I just think they should have won at least three more premierships in last 20 years.
 
I reckon RFC has over achieved, we are still in the AFL.
Thankfully their is no relegation zone as we would now be in the VAFA- probably D2.
