Richmond have the fourth longest finals streak.

I'm glad we're becoming a force.

Everyone else can get effed.

This thread reminds of a scene in a movie called Hot Rod.
If you haven't watched it yet you are missing out seriously funny movie



If you can't be bothered watching the whole clip start at about 1min 30sec

Wonder if that's what our GF win will look like?

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

What's scarier?

We made finals more from 2013-2015 then we did from 1983-2012.

That's pretty ****ed.

 

[AJ Green]

Good to see Melbourne don't even feature in the stats. What a rabble they are.

That WAS pretty stuffed, which is kind of the point of the thread.

You better get a rabies shot before you do that.

So what was the purpose of the thread mr golden gay time If I can't put in a simple comment ?you don't sound like you're having fun to me. You sound depressing by starting an argument over bull dust.
I'm just keeping a lid on it ffs

Why would supporters worry about keeping a lid on anything? That's for the players and coaches to do....

The thread is clearly about making the finals consecutively, not about number of finals campaigns with wins it them....

I for one am far happier making finals than I was when we were far far crapper....

 

[fumbler]

F*** hawforn's been given a good go from the umpires today.

 

[Bojangles17]

Why are you such a negative sour campaigner?

We're having fun and you just have to rain on our parade.

Yes, we all know we haven't won anything, mate.

Well said spudder

 

[Bojangles17]

We should be targeting 30+ straight finals, 10+ flags and just become the genuine arseholes of the AFL.

So that when people say Richmond 3 finals since 80 and no flags, just a complete rabble.... But then they bent us all over and stuffed us for 30 years, your welcome!

Like how you re thinkin docko

 

[Joker91]

2016/2017 are our best chances to win one.
GWS will soon dominate the competition for a long time. I think they will be far to strong from 2018 onwards

 

[Calcium Man]

Its an interesting stat and I think it shows just how hard its getting every year to make the finals consistently.

I find it funny how quickly the blues fans reckon they can turn it around but every year it gets harder and harder and they've got to get past Collingwood, Adelaide, Saints, Dogs, Cats, GWS and GC

I want flags not brag about nothing. The last two finals were a kick in the guts rather than a talking point. Just my op

We all do TI.
What I think you sometimes miss is that this is a journey we are all on. We have to stop and smell the roses along the way from time to time and enjoy the journey.
Yes, the ultimate success is the aim, but there's got to be some joy along the way.

Agree, but as I said clubs like the dogs and saints have had happier days than us with nothing to show. We have achieved nothing even in comparison to them so I'm remaining numb until the moment comes near
I don't want any more heart aches

There will be heartaches though, that's the point.
KNowing there will be heartaches makes it more important to celebrate the little steps we take.

Not for me mate, but I can see your point
I'm not that type

With the Cats bombing out of the 2015 season tonight after 8 consecutive finals campaigns it got me thinking about finals streaks. A little bit of research and surprisingly the Tigers are now the team with the fourth longest finals streak. Long may it continue (with added (multiple) premiership glory).

Interesting stat.

Personally I've been figuring that we'd be seriously in the running for a premiership starting this year or next -- so I'll be hoping (expecting, actually) that we can extend the finals streak for a few more years yet.

Makes me a happy camper!

As a matter of fact we did win something: enough games to make three consecutive finals appearances.

That isn't nothing.

14 of 22 wins
3 finals series in a row
A young squad developed in-house

Exciting times.

Not to mention all the off-field advances, from stable management to a stand alone VFL side.

I keep going back to the point that there were significant reasons why the club was in such a hole and that those issues needed to be addressed before we could expect much in the way of on-field success.

To say the club has done "nothing" because we haven't yet won a flag under the current administration whilst at the same time overlooking all the very real achievements of that administration -- all of which were necessary foundational steps -- just boggles the mind.

To say some people have zero idea would actually be giving them too much credit.
