Huh??That's exactly what it was, a rule was brought in after the 2020 season that made Richmond instantly too old, too slow, and no good, but Geelong the team we beat in 3 finals series are winning a flag in '22, and now they're too old, too slow, and no good.
Truth is they were too old, too slow and no good after 2020, it's just that the "weakest era in the history of the game" that Fadge talks about became more of an evenly contested era because of a rule change that took away Richmond's advantage of being the only team that could move the ball quickly, and that's how Geelong won the flag last season, not because they were too good, but because Richmond were not allowed to go about their buisness unhindered.
