Analysis The Richmond dynasty

[giggler99]

Don’t care I’m happy And we have Dusty

Serious question where would Richmond be without Dusty? Will you still have three premierships? he is such a big game player I highly doubt Richmond would be three flags to boot without him! just my view don't bite my head off!

You say this, but where would Geelong have been without Gary Ablett Jnr after 2010?

fair question, honestly I don’t know. There is no doubt we play as a team and always give everything but there is also no doubt that we feed off his energy and walk taller when he’s doing his thing

I look at it this way,

Without that loss to Collingwood, we'd never have gotten Lynch and won 2019.

Then had the composure to fight back after large deficits and losses to win 2020.

Very true, 2018 prelim made 2019 and 2020 premierships happen.

 

[ep2018]

We were one American campaigner from winning 4 in a row tonight. That’s ok we’ll just win it next year at home.

I'm a pessimistic Eagles supporter at the best of times but at the time I had a feeling deep down we'd have won the grand final in 2018 against you blokes.

 

[Xtreme]

Need to win a 4th flag to be a dynasty. Three flags is a fair effort though.

Who cares? Where would north in the 90’s be without Carey? He’s part of the 22, the most important part but we are a team that works and wins as a whole team, not just relying on one player. The team works to allow dusty to play the way he does.

Who knows, you won we lost and from that loss we’ve won the next 2.

How do you compare them all? Richmond are a totally different team - they do not score even closely as heavily as the Lions/Cats/Hawks but they do what they do - when it counts they win.

This cats team is not even close to the 07-11 cats team but is that even relevant? You beat who is there. You can pick holes in all the opponents of the respective teams.

All we do know is that Brisbane were the best group of players in Australia in 01-03, the cats were in 07,09 and 11, the Hawks were in 13-14, and the tigers are now in 17,19 and 20. It is an amazing effort for any club to win three.

Hawthorn won four though

I just am so grateful you boys didn't give collingwood the pleasure ❤

Richmond still not done farkin hell when’s the cliff gonna be, not for a long time.

6th oldest premiership team. Not sure about Riewoldt & Houli in 12 months' time. Edwards 32 tomorrow, Cotchin 31 at start of next season, Astbury 30, Martin & Grimes not far behind.

This just might be our last crack at it, had to make it count.

fair enough! I was just being hypothetical.

I don't get the question we won a flag with out gaz in 2011

I reckon we have one more left Ron, 3peat at home.

tbf, only reiwoldt has really lost form though, maybe cotchin but i reckon he was better this year than last. houli and edwards looked as good as ever in the few games the had before and after their break, as do grimes and martin

That was kind of my point....

So the Geelong team of 2007-2010 could lose their best player and still go alright against a pretty good team (Collingwood of 2010-11).

Melbourne had two chances but Dusty was a bit edgy for them. Funny that they don't get the Tambling/Franklin or Fiora/Pavlich flak that we did.

worst triple premiership player of all time? Done literally nothing for four season except play in 3 GFs.

Probably the luckiest. Could have been justifiably dropped many times over the years, but even when he is, a solid 15 possession game in the VFL gets him straight back in. Its dumbfounded me for years, but the match committee have him as just about an automatic.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Fair to say the other recent dynasty teams had more overall talent but I’d take our never giving up for your brothers any day

 

[Calcium Man]

Well at least we are being compared to Hawks/Lions/Cats now and not the Dogs and West Coast for best premiership team of recent times. Big step up!

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

Strangely our best season was 2018 when we didnt make GF

Im a big critic of dan but there is no doubt he plays his best footy in finals. Not great tonight, but a great finals series

Riewoldt and Houli won't suprise me if one retires, but if they both play on next year they might be one too many.

Edwards hasn't lost a thing, will be a veteran but a performer in 2021. Cotchin is a battering ram but more of a spiritual leader than a prime mover now, his role is more without the ball.

Astbury could have missed tonight, with Balta coming on as long as Broad stays we can get by without him. Ben Miller or Garthwaite coming on next year would help.

Grimes and Martin, certainly no problem for 2021.

The end is coming, but I reckon we can squeeze one more year out of contending.

Then we turn to the next gen and build around Balta, Bolton, Baker, and the others who hopefully come on.

In all honesty, I think we’d have them covered easily but as we all know it doesn’t work that way. Different eras and all. Credit to the Tiges for the now, their system is unbeatable atm. Plus there’s Dusty.

both gameplans are kryptonite to each other.

what a game it would be
