Best thing about this is,

- Premiership Guernseys delayed for over a month after the GF.
- Slattery Media didnt even release GF pictorial book.
- Team signed memorabilia delayed until 2021 due to Covid restrictions.
- No changes in Guernsey sponsors, still Jeep, still NIB, still puma...
- New Era Premiers Caps sold out on Grand Final night (ones the players give to the auskicks who present the medals), and New Era never released another set.
- HS Premiership car stickers s**t quality, just an example of shitter quality cheap merchandise.


You may be an opposition supporter and scoff and laugh and pot shot, but the merchandise roll out was super s**t for the 2020 premiership. The fact Richmond sold so much of it, shows the loyalty of a fan base that was starved success for a long time.

Can confirm, have seen many examples of them peeling off cars after only 3 months. The fact Richmond fans have had to go out and buy more stickers probably explains the merch numbers
Fair point !! I have 3 mark knight stickers for eaxh premiership on my car (bought like 10 of 17' and 19' when at $1) they are in tact whilst 20' has fallen apart alongside them 🥴

We all know Carlton and Essendon's drought breaker will be similar to Collingwood 1990 and Richmond 2017, will be scary times in Melbourne.

This is why I savour the moments now as best as I can
 
But despite finishing 11th last season and missing the finals, the Blues surprised to be second on football's unseen ladder, tallying 11.73 per cent of sales in a huge tick from the club's growing supporter base, which last week hit a new membership record.
Pretty impressive effort by Carlton.

Just quietly going about the business.

Carrying the weight of the 'Big 4' on our broad shoulders - preserving its integrity and prestige - while the other 3 members continually disgrace themselves and/or wallow in decades long mediocrity.

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.

Ripping post. Need more of this on BF

They represent 5% of the competition.

Yet sold 15% of the competitions merchandise and have 10% of the leagues members.

Fans of the RFC have been left frustrated by the lack of premiers merchandise this year due to Covid yet have once again blown all other clubs out the water. Selling more than DOUBLE the merchandise of Collingwood and West Coast proving premiership fatigue doesn't exist if its a premiership of Richmond's. 🙌

Aside from GWS and Gold Coast, Adidas must be left fuming cause Hawthorn only equal 2.5% of all merchandise sold - 3rd last in the comp and worst performed Victorian side.

Richmond fans have got to make the most out of this dynasty. Another >30 yr drought could be just around the corner.

Familiarise yourself with the state of the RFC now compared to 10, let alone 20 or 30 years ago. You could start by reading Konrad Marshall's book "Yellow & Black". If you're brave enough to do so wear a nappy. Tigers aren't going away any time soon.

Well why click on the thread and comment.
The thread title gives you a tip what it’s about.
God forbid we can gloat after winning three premierships after all the s**t we copped. Youd think we only have two options

1. Be s**t and get mocked
2. Be competitive, win a few and have our moment and then fo

What about option 3?

3. Win again and again and continue to be happy and reminisce on the good times
