Dimma’s best feature as a coach is being an illustration on why fans don’t run footy clubs. Would have been sacked years ago if it were up to the Richmond ‘faithful’.

Next thread: "If Richmond Go Undeafeted All Season, Will They Be The Best Team Ever?"

Don't be ******* stupid. Everyone knows Richmond never win more games than they need to. To do so would be akin to dying with unspent funds that could have been more wisely invested in hookers and racetracks and bars all over the world. :)

That means Zero mate.
8 premierships and 4 in a row and you're trying your best to downplay that.
Enjoy your 3

Terribly weak era. As a Richmond supporter I can tell you for a fact our 1927-29 teams were nowhere near as good as our worst hiatus teams from the 1983-2016 era. Well done to old Jock for sneaking a few Grand Finals wins in a shocking era.

You're dreaming buddy. It was a great era.

In total, McHale coached 714 VFL games with 467 wins and 10 draws (a 66.1% winning rate).

Hardwick around 53%.

You conveniently posted finals records. Richmond only had 4 or 5 decent years.

8 Premierships lol top that

A couple of those premierships have huge asterisks next to them. Wasn't there some ridiculous replay system rule in place??

The rule was almost as ridiculous as Colin Carter's attempts to get the Cats more flags when the media decided who the best team was way back in 1241 AD.

I got an idea of a new thread.

When St.Kilda win their 30th wooden spoon should the title change from wooden spoon to the St.Kilda award?

With the GOAT player and GOAT coach, anything other than an undefeated season into a premiership will be seen as nothing more than an abject failure. :drunk:
Nah, you just know the AFL will intervene and make rule changes and MRO decisions purely to hurt Richmond.

Everything and everyone is in conspiracy against the Tigers.

You just watch, the AFL and the MRO and the umpiring and the schedule and the weather and God himself will all conspire to screw them out of yet another flag.
