I don’t think it would have been a thumping - probably played out like our ANZAC Eve game against them that year where it was tightish for three quarters without actually being close and then they blew us out. West Coast smashed Richmond in Perth in 2018 and then they had a belter at the MCG in 2019 which the Tigers won late by about a goal IIRC. Eagles also beat them in 2017.I reckon a Melbourne vs Richmond gf would have been like a Richmond vs gws 2019 gf an absolute stinker. The 2018 gf was a blessing in disguise, should have been Richmond vs west Coast and that would have been a thumping but Richmond choked and we end one of the best grand finals in 30 years
The occasion and injuries very much got to the Giants in 2019 but the Tigers haven’t beaten them at Spotless since 2014. They were vulnerable big time at the end of 2018 and got found out by an MCG tenant with a better midfield in the prelim.
