Well in Collingwood's case the Argus system's right to challenge won them a number of flags including the 4 in a row and since it was removed they have knocked up 27 failed attempts to win the flag, so I'm sure Magpies would like it back, the rest of us that like to have earned the right to win the big game on GF day may have different opinions.Let's say Sydney or Gws or Carlton fluke a flag this year 'cause their opponents are injured, so like vultures they pick the bones.
Should it count?
I think the fairest thing to do would be just go back to whoever finishes on top wins the flag! Until we get it sorted out anyway.
Have your say...
So Essendon is better than us but beating them in a final doesn't count. Bizarre logic
What a shame that no one else can remember them, 3 flags since B&W TV came to Australia and 2 since Colour TV arrived, what a short highlight reel your club must have?
GWS beat all others to get there and had never lost a GF before hardly our fault that we smashed them, we did the same to Collingwood in 1980 is that also a Bradbury, in fact are all GF wins against Collingwood Bradbury's?Dude, you beat GWS in a GF,, and one another during the coof.

As for 2020 Covid it will be recognised in AFL history as one of the most difficult GF's to win in the history of the game, not to mention our great supporter base helping to keep the AFL financial over that grim period in history.

"It's difficult to mount an argument that Richmond's 13th premiership - their third in four years - wasn't their hardest-fought to date. After months on the road, myriad off-field dramas and a first-up finals defeat to the Brisbane Lions, the Tigers overcame the early loss of a star player and a 22-point second-quarter deficit to claw their way back against Geelong in the grand final at the Gabba on Saturday night, securing back-to-back premierships for the first time in 46 years."

So what you're saying is, Carlton are sh1t
And they knocked the reigning premiers out of the race 12 years laterAnd they knocked the reigning premiers out a year later
Every Premiership requires luck, unless the local newspapers are taking a popular vote on who won but no one in their right mind would try and count those as real flags.
