bears had extra in the cap

geelol never back to backed and dank was there juicing them up

hawks was in the compromised draft era and they only ever beat interstate witches hats on the G

Richmond's is the only real dynasty and the only one in history that includes a season with ZERO home ground advantage in the season .

Bears had players from the merger with Fitzroy also.

Brisbane's three-peat cheesed me off no end. All the advantages the AFL let them get away with as an expansion club and a few years earlier Richmond were denied the services of a full-forward (for another expansion club).
we would have won the flag in 95 with plugger and back to backed the next year with Richo and plugger and Northey at the helm

afl stopped 2-3 Richmond premierships and didnt do Essendon and Carlton for salary cap breaches in their flag years
 
Whinge Coaster (he of the blasphemous name) on why they have no young midfielders:

"You can't have everything. You can't have a settled side that's won a flag and also played finals six years in a row and also have a bunch of great young players already established. When you're theoretically "in the window" with an experienced side, you're not going to have as much youth coming through."

Okay. So Richmond hasn't played finals six years in a row. Does seven out of eight count? And three flags instead of one?
That description fits West Coast literally perfectly
Finals 2015-20
1 flag
 
WC lost Kennedy that game thanks to Noah, but still had Brander as cover. Ryan kicked a few, but caught old Eddie disease and tried to fly for too many speccies. Darling kicked a few as well, but was intent on drawing frees.

Really, they should move Kennedy on for Allen (I thought Richmond would take Allen, but the club settled on CCJ instead). The Weagles' forward line is not that dynamic and their backline was exposed with McGovern's intercept game being shut down.

Don't see them on the winner's podium again for a while. Going to struggle if they have to hub in Victoria. It would be Whinge Coast overdrive.
Didn't McGovern take 0 intercept marks that week after taking 50 odd in the previous 3 or 4 games?

Good times.

Who are you and what have you done with Shazza? Making too much sense

Ah this flog is back, since when were GWS a dominant H&A team, thier highest ever ladder finish is 4th & the yr they made the GF they finished 6th on the ladder... They have only ever finished above us on the ladder once, which was '16 when any half decent side also did

Well when you don't make the Prelim stage you still get a better pick than those those that do, had they not sold the farm for Kelly they may have some kids coming through. What they are basically saying is once the older brigade slow down they'll fall off a cliff with no kids coming through...
 
Brisbane has never finished top or dominated a H&A season yet were still one of the greatest teams we have ever seen....
Cats are often finish high on the ladder but can't win finals. A team has to be peaking at the right time. Not us in 2018 despite finishing on top...old mate must rate our 2018 season our best, top after home and away.
Must be a soccer fan

2020 Lions finished 2nd, on 14wins equal to Port. We tripped over our bootlaces and when we stood lo and behold we were 3rd on the ladder. But Great to have finals against Lions & Port meet Geelong on a neutral venue and win the flag.
Looking fwd to the challenges.
