I like Houli. Gun player. Wish he'd won the Norm Smith in 2017 as he deserved to.

We couldn't touch them in the second half. Didn't matter who we had at FF. The ball wasn't getting there.
Calm down with the hype Vdubs
They're better than Bulldogs 2016 (which premiership team isn't?). I'll give them that.
Any other premier between 2000-2019 is better than these Richmond sides. Hardly unique in how "well melded" they are.
They're good, don't get me wrong, but they're nowhere near the best premiership sides of the last two decades

Not so.
Swans and WCE did it once in their eras, same with Pies.
They have done it twice in increasing impressiveness.
When we were 11-1 this year they were not even in the 8 iirc. Pretty impressive recovery.
You are entitled to your opinion, as much as we all don't like them, imo, their style of play is like a cat toying with a mouse, just exhausting it, without necessarily killing it first blow, but capable of doing so. It was game over at half time today.

Been the best since after the bye. They’ll be hard to stop again next year.

End of 2016, Caddy leaves Geelong.
Saturday, 28th September 2019, Caddy a two-time premiership player for Richmond. None of us saw that happening at the time, all thought he was leaving ‘the better team’ that probably was seen as a better chance of winning a flag. Well, that move for Caddy has proven to be a great one for him personally.

Yep, an unmitigated loss that trade. Two time premiership player.
And gets played in position. Fxxking mind boggling that worked.

This tiger list reminds me of the Cats in our dynasty, they could win more flags. However, unlike the Cats, I bet the commentary next year will be heavily flattering of the Tiges, while they often didn't even acknowledge our guys out there just calling it mostly based on what our opposition was doing. I bet the Tiges don't get treated like that next season.

But at Geelong wanted to be the main man in midfield, and would’ve stunk it up and wanted out anyway if he was dropped to the VFL at Geelong.
Richmonds all about team and what’s best, their culture is first class, Geelongs isn’t and hasn’t been for a while.
Couldn’t believe that they didn’t start him as a defensive forward myself. Hardwick dodged a bullet there.

In essence, losing to the Pies prevented us being walloped in the GF....

It’s funny, I walked away from the MCG that night we belted Richmond by 67pts thinking we were going onto ‘bigger and better’ things this year, while thinking the Tigers may be done for 2019.
As it turns out, after that game we totally shat the bed for the rest of the season while Richmond didn’t lose another game haha.

They lost to the Crows the week after we beat them - that was their last loss.
Mind you, we’d have had a fair chance if we’d won the PF

Very relaxed. Focused in the right moments. He would have been a big part of how they came back against us. Instead the ‘never say die’ attitude that Selwood has - which increasingly looks futile when we’re losing, Cotchin would embody a more relaxed form of confidence.
Even his interviews before the Geelong game and the GF - he was so chilled about it. He continually spoke about enjoying the moments and that he wasn’t even thinking about winning, rather he wanted his team to focus on the little things.
I thought he was too relaxed, but it turns out that he’s onto something really good.

Ahhh, well still, pretty amazing how things turned out after that night. They did exceptionally well to finish 16-6 (Games at MCG helped a lot) given the injuries they had this year. We also finished 16-6 and had a good run injury wise this year, if we had of copped what they did we don’t make the 8.

you'll have to wear something resembling yellow and black to survive.
would be interesting to experience that sort of support in a suburban street
