Hawthorn v Richmond

[Cincinnatus]

How would you take a premiership hangover over no premiership at all then? By your reasoning the premiership wouldn’t be yours.

...as a fan its fairly obvious that I would prefer my team won a premiership than none at all.

You are trying too hard to save face. Letting it go and fading into obscurity works better.

The Geelong and Hawthorn teams would pull the pants down of this current competition.

Adelaide and their supporters would know.

Youve just reached peak cringe.

I’d rather peak than come second, something Adelaide and their supporters wouldn’t know.

 

[JR#8]

Pretty sure they’ve never met in a final, remarkably.

I meant this year, but yeah.

And now its really embarrassing.

And now its really embarrassing.

We talking about Tex now?

 

[biaseddustyfan]

current tigers squad would absolutely smash the hawks 3peat side. no one will remember the hawks 3peat in 20 years time as our 5peat will overshadow it completely

 

[Handsuper47]

Team of the decade? Of course it's Hawthorn. They only missed finals like twice so far and been successful in just about all of em

 

[Saintt]

Decades start from 2011. There was no year 0.

No it isn’t. It actually correct

And what makes this better is that it applies to centuries. So therefore Essendon 2000 is NOT and could never reasonably be seen as the team of the century - when compared to say Hawthorn 88 for example....

Count to ten.
Do you start off going 0,1,2,3 etc?

2010 was the start of the decade, even though 2001 was the start of the century.

That’s outrageous

F*** Wikipedia

Those campaigners are dead to me

So the decade was 8years long?

If they go on from here and win a second premiership then there is a discussion to be had. With just the 1 premiership right now there's no point. So I'd save this thread til October if warranted.

Adelaide went back to back and they were a very ordinary team. Circumstances and context are important.

 

[domus]

& yet history records the winners. Not excuses and circumstances beyond our control

Nice rant but

But of course. Where did I suggest history books would actually record these pertinent facts? Winners are grinners.

2000-2009 would be 10 years. Decades start 2010, 2000, 1990 etc. Centuries start 2001, 1901, 1801. Not sure why this is but that's how they're counted.

So why wasn't the Millenium celebrated on 31/12/00?

That would have been the correct date to celebrate it but people decided 2000 was a better milestone.

 

[DrEvil_]

Wouldn't you wait until Richmond have actually won more than one flag before considering them team of the decade when comparing them to a team that has won three?

It's not like Richmond are so dominant this year it's a fait accompli.

OP is Essendon fan, going early is in their genes.

Adelaide went B2B finishing fourth with a 13-9 record in 1997 and then fifth with a 13-9 record in 1998. They were very ordinary indeed.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Is a decade not merely any 10 year period?

A century is also one hundred years......
What year did the 21st century start?

My point was that why pick those years when it wasn't even a full decade that was used?

 

[Frank Gallagher]

LMAO.

 

[DrEvil_]

Who are you calling uneducated?

The uneducated?

 

[Spook]

The year they beat West Coast. Didn’t they comfortably lose in Perth, recover to make the GF and then proceed to smash the Eagles in Melbourne? Results probably suggest they may have lost a prelim in Perth.

Hawthorn defeated Fremantle, the minor premiers, in Perth in a prelim.
