That Lions team from 01-03 was horrifyingly good, they had superstars all over the field.
Their 3peat is miles ahead of Hawthorns.
They don't. Well, not on the DOMINATION TEST anyway. The Eagles dominated R2 v Dogs, R4 v Suns. They were dominated R14 v Bombers. Richmond were two a piece the previous year. Should be noted, the Eagles lost a junk time final quarter by 6+ Goals & still won the match. That's not counted as being dominated, I reckon "Stewards Enquiry" fits better.How about just tell us how Richmond 2017 ranks above WC this year for a start.
How many Fitzroy players played in the flags? Chris Johnson is one, any others?
It was a "retention allowance" not a "Cost Of Living Allowance". Less than 20% of Brisbane's list at that time came from Queensland.
Correct ... It wasn't Cola, it was purely brought in to assist the Lions in luring players to QLD - which isn't such a bad thing, if they are serious about growing the game in QLD.
Might be struggling with this one, my memory isn't that good - but I think Martin Pike, Alistair Lynch & Jarrod Molloy also came across?? ... again, not 100% sure they all came at the same time?
The mega deal that was not a mega deal . 10 Years 1.5 million ! I believe the Club gave him an upgrade it was such a poor deal for Lynch.Lynch left on a 10 year mega-deal a few years before the merger.
So despite having superstars all over the field, and getting a heap of extra money to spend on those superstars, they still only managed the same as Hawthorn. 3 in a row plus a GF loss.
Seems to me that would mean the team performance by Hawthorn would be better, not worse. Surely?
oh im sorry i didnt realise you were mentally touched .... yes richmond goodWhy do you keep bringing up St Kilda? Your club should not be anywhere near this thread haha. The fact that we won a flag and you couldn’t instantly makes us a better team than you.
Anyway, the poll has us 4th, so I’m not too far off the mark. People let their hatred for Richmond get in the way of honest voting. Our pressure would trouble every side on this list. We are the strongest MCG tenant of all time. You’re deluded if you think we wouldn’t pants the majority of this list.
geelong 92 and 94 were better than tigers 17 ... only one eyed tigers fans would think their flag winning team could match up to the powerhouses of the three flag winning teams of Brisbane Hawthorn and Geelong ...Geelong 07-11 were much better than Richmond of 2017. Let's establish that and move on.
hahahaha imagine dusty doing the dont argue to Voss ... Voss would have ripped his arm out of his socket and the scott brothers would have ran around punching the stumpYou really think that Dusty would've "smashed" the likes of Voss, Jonathan Brown, Scott bros or Martin Pyke?
I don't think so. Would like to have seen him try though......would make for some good viewing.

Bombers 2000 V Lions 2003 Club DOMINATION of their respective Flag years. Who is it?
Bombers 2000 put 6+ Goals on a side in one quarter R10 v Crows, R12 v Saints, R13 v North, R17 v Tigers, R18 v Freo, R19 v Hawks, Qual Final v North & had a dominating 10 Goal GF win. Calling the GF win a DOMINATION that's 8 Domination's for & 1 time being dominated v Nort R3. 8/1 is impressive. 7/0 in the second half of the year is red hot.
Lions 2003 put 6+ Goals on a side in one quarter R6 v Cats, R9 v Blues (2 qts Dominated), R10 v Melb, R19 v Pies, R21 v Cats, Prelim v Swans and had a dominating 50pt GF win. 7/0 equally as impressive as the Dons.
Both sides dominated more heavily towards the business end of the year. The Lions spread their domination over more of the year, performed a DOUBLE DOMINATION once & were never dominated. The Bombers finished the season with scary good form. Both sides dominated 2 Finals.
CANT SPLIT IT, ITS A DRAW.
These two teams are equally the most dominant Sides in AFL History.
The gut feeling was right about the Dons 2000.
How about a Cat fan or any other team check your best year? The gut is telling me the Cat's would give it a shake; there may be a smokey?
*edit
ps: we can safely rule out Richmond 2018.
Lynch left on a 10 year mega-deal a few years before the merger. Pike had baggage and was overlooked, being picked up North and then to the Lions after a few years and a flag. Only 8 Roys went to Brisbane, Captain Brad Boyd, Molloy, Chris Johnson, John Barker, Simon Hawking and some others I can’t think of.
Yes, I've been an attending Lions fan since about 1970. Your right, it was big at the time because it had $million plus in it & it was a 10 year deal. For Lynch the certainty of guaranteed money was a change from the uncertainty of Fitzroy. Lynch turned into the perfect link between the Bears, Fitzroy & Brisbane Lions.Did you follow footy at the time. It was a massive deal in its day. No one was signing million dollar contracts back then let alone a single $1.8m guaranteed contract. It was unprecedented. Lynch was 25yo and not many expected he’d play the full 10 years anyway, including himself.
Dusty has fended off bigger stronger players than Voss, would have no problem putting Voss on his asshahahaha imagine dusty doing the dont argue to Voss ... Voss would have ripped his arm out of his socket and the scott brothers would have ran around punching the stump
Hawthorn play keeping's off footy. It's been effective yet it is hardly dominating teams. The Lions, same as the Bombers 2000 dominated sides physically & on the scoreboard.So despite having superstars all over the field, and getting a heap of extra money to spend on those superstars, they still only managed the same as Hawthorn. 3 in a row plus a GF loss.
Seems to me that would mean the team performance by Hawthorn would be better, not worse. Surely?
Can you read big words & grasp concepts?That may be the worst stat I have ever read in my entire life
