Yes Cos 1930 premierships are so different to 1890 premierships.
most Of the players still had flabby man arms as late as the early 60s. Weight training really wasn’t a thing. Everyone smoked. A ruckman was 187 cms tall.
then the whole 70s and 80s flags need to be discarded because of zone...
First time I saw Geelong play Richmond in a final. We won by 89 points.
richmond players were so spooked they got confused about which way they were going.
And Richmond would of lost ten finals to Geelong if you regularly played finals between 89 to 2015. Just like the bulldogs did. The only reason you have the good head to head finals record is cos you were to s**t to make up numbers in the finals like the doggies for that near 30 year period.
But a wooden spoon negates a flag. 2 flags and no wooden spoons is way better then 3 flags and 3 wooden spoons.
your Goal is to maximise you flag to spoon ratio.
2007 port was a record win (if we only won by 60 points it would be meh), 09 stkilda and 11 Collingwood were vastly superior teams to scotts 2020 Geelong.
geelong 2020 was your greatest win though. Got more respect from me then crows and gws in Melbourne. Puts you above the hawks flag era.
We won 3 flags too and against better opposition and in more exciting style.
watching Gazza was still better.
only 1 of Martin’s norm smiths was a grand norm smith. The one against us.
the others were a bit meh. A bit like bartels norm.
Is the perfect stadium for football. Shallow wings and longer ends encourages more direct attacking football. Makes football more of a yardage game. They need to bring the wings in and extend the length of the mcg.
Yep we are pretentious. Greatness creates that.
do you know it took me 28 years before I saw a Geelong loss to Richmond. That’s how long I had to wait.
Premierships are better then non premierships all else equal. I’m not sure what your point is? The 2008 side was the same side that played in 07 and 09
You won the flag playing 3 non Melbourne teams in Melbourne. Two of them deserved the home final and not you. That flag has an asterisk. And Martin’s season that year was sublime. But let’s get serious. It wasnt like watching an Ablett or Carey dominate. it wasnt even a Darren jarman level...
wrong.
watching Gazza in full flight was better then premierships. Nothing tops it.
my favourite season was 89. Ive watched the 89 grand final more then any of our actual flag wins. And our flags wins were awesome flag wins. but it still wasn’t the best that football fandom could be.
you...
Yep more exciting footy is better then premierships.
something Richmond fans (and hawthorn fans) will never experience.
ive seen both, I know what is better.
What happened in the 37 gap?
were you one of the tigers supporters who was in constant manic depression for nearly all your life?
or were you one of those supporters who jumped off the bandwagon and switched to hawthorn?
i got to watch the most exciting team in the land. It was even better...
Do you really want to bring up 67? Game should be investigated.

Handbags is just a metaphor for more talented and silkier. A label of envy created by lou richards.
Chris scott took away our hand bags. We need to get them back.
