Melbourne 2018 = Richmond 1995

[Black Stripe]

Both returned to finals after a decade of missing finals and went deep into September, making it to a preliminary final only to get thrashed.

Richmond were meant to be at the beginning of a premiership window but history proved their 1995 team to be a flash in the pan.

Melbourne were also meant to be at the beginning of a premiership window but it's looking likely their 2018 team was just a flash in the pan too.

More comparable to Footscray 1938 imo

Subscribed.

The other parallel the OP neglected to mention was how we let the coach that got us back to finals go and then hired Robert Walls.

Eerie similarities.
