Richmond haven't had a Melbourne final with a crowd less than 80,000 since the 1940s
Collingwood have had PLENTY
Just saying'
The fact you're measuring up against us, poaching our Intel and aiming for 100,000 members when we've hit it years in a row, shows who the measuring stick is.
So Eagles are the biggest in the country because they've only gotta compete with 1 other team in their state?
Richmond and Collingwood are virtually the working class soul of Victoria - the state with the most storied and celebrated history in the game of Aussie rules.
Being the biggest in...
Look no further than a Ned Guy interview or Nathan Buckley Tweet for incoherent rambling. Im glad you are in football pain right now and hope the McGuire/Buckley era continues. Long may the Richmond era of dominance on and off the field continue as we dance on your black and white grave :)
Your heartbreak is 'damn we've lost another grand final". That's hardly heartbreak becsuse every year you are making finals and every year you are a chance.

After watching how Collingwood supporters have been behaving lately, maybe the consistent home and away seasons have masked a supporter base thats low in resilience and have been riding one bandwagon till a few wheels fell off?
Richmond doubled their membership by 2013 (1st final in 12 years)...
A bees dick bigger if you're going by 400 more members.
But yeah seriously, who cares this year. Essendon gave their members all refunds, 2020 is hardly a year to boast about anything in regards to commercial successes in AFL. You should come down to Victoria and see how bad things are. Its...
The only people who can "gloat" this year are the boys clubs of our favourite teams who have somehow taken our money and made us feel like we got something in return for it.
I have supported Berry Street for 10 years, once Richmond took my $750 and acted like it was a 'donation' to a 'worthy...
Richmond have made finals the past decade more than Collingwood.
Every Melbourne final involving Richmond this decade has drawn minimum 90,000. Unheard of in all of world sport.

Collingwood won’t get near Richmond in membership size.
Reasons
1. Way too many casuals support Collingwood when they’re winning, they come out the woodwork with some Kmart scarf from 2004 and Chris Tarrant guernsey from 2002...however, they’re not passionate, fall off the bandwagon easily and...
Well I suppose you’re fighting it out with 1 club for a few million rather than 8 others for a few million so it’s realistic.
Your supporters wouldn’t be as generational and passionate but with time as you build your history I know they’ll be great growth for the eagles.
As for being the...
Thanks haters.
Hope we continue to rip open assholes for years to come.
Crazy nuffs told you the sleeping giant was waking up, well they were right.
Biggest club in Australian sport.
Is the only reason Collingwoods unknown because Richmond is far ahead of them? Because Eddie does like to say he’s the biggest in the land but this goes against his theory
What are you talking about? You’ve played Essendon, Carlton, Richmond and we’ve only played Collingwood and Carlton. Makes a big difference.
Don’t boast after 7 rounds it’s embarressing.
Membership

Did Richmond break the world record for afl members 12,800 times already this year?
Can there be a world record for how many times you break a world record?
Richmond has been invited and is holding a conference in the United Nations Forum in New York City this year.
Good try Collingwood. You’re not in our league little boys.
The end bit says it all.
Envy.
Oh and while we enjoy the premiership, just remember this.
Richmond right now is that sexy portugese lady (or man, depends on the person) you met at your new job. Legs as long as the day grows old, the most beautiful smile with flawless white teeth and you...
I'd agree with that.
Usually a premiership or sustained success fuels this. Essendon did seem quite large during that period.
When you look at it overall, Collingwood historically aren't as big as Melbourne, no one is. Richmond and Essendon at their most powerful have shown to be capable of...
