Yeah, we barely got any help in our dynasty and we monstered teams anyway, which proves if you're good enough then umpires don't really matter that much.
No help from umpires (in fact a massive hindrance), no help from father/son, no help from academy picks, no ‘Visy money’ type deals, and we rebuilt during GWS and GC formative years. A dynasty without any ‘asterisks’.
Lions had huge salary cap allowances (now gone) and ex-Fitzroy charity.
Scats had father/son gifts (they fixed the bidding system soon after they’d secured 3 of their best ever players… plus Mark Blake who played in a flag).
Hawks had their team in place during a period of GWS and GC coming in so other teams got decimated (Davis, Ward, Ablett, Harbrow… the list goes on) and couldn’t improve their lists via the draft as GC and GWS had all the picks.
And all of the above also before the off-field soft caps.
But but but … Richmond’s flags were in a soft era …. bahahaha
