Threepeat Hawthorn (2012-2015) would run rings around this Richmond team (2017-2020)

[turtle27]

Maybe, maybe not. What's the point of the comparison?

 

[Tigerandy63]

As good as Richmond are right now, they are the worst scoring Premiership team of the 2000s.

All I got out of that was blah blah blah Richmond Premiership.

 

[Sterge]

That is perfect logic. Richmond 2010-2016 are the best team of the era.

Sorry am i not paying enough respect to obvious troll threads

I defence must be pretty good if we’re not scoring much.

Completely different gamestyles. Hawks where a great team and would cut you up with their footskills, richmond on the other hand will gradually wear you out with elite pressure. Will still rate the hawks higher for there threepeat. But richmond are not far behind

Get used to it. The more Hawthorn won the better the Geelong team got on BF.

 

[Tigerandy63]

I reckon most of the Hawthorn team of 2012-15 would have been in a good paddock for a few years, so I would give them no hope of beating today's Tigers.

 

[Hot Diggity]

I really don't care if they are or not. If we win the Premiership this year, then that is good enough for me.

The most sensible response in all of this!

Jesus you're sensitive

 

[Always Ballin]

Part of the Richmond hate is no doubt due to the fact that most footy supporters don't rate their list as highly as they rate the other highly successful teams of this era. I reckon a lot of supporters look at Richmond's list, and then look at their club's list, and think that there isn't much difference. You'd have to agree really. I think as coaching gets more and more refined, we're entering an era where list quality is less important than it was even 5-10 years ago. It's still a big factor, but culture and gameplan seem more important than ever before. Top end talent like Dusty and Lynch helps of course. And The Tigers still have a few underrated players. But the competition of top teams the last few years is probably less than around 2007-2017 without a doubt.

Great take.

In the end, Carlton's 06-08 threepeat demolishes every other club that has had a purple patch in the their history.

The 2007 Port Grand Final team would run rings around Richmond 2017-2020. The rules have been tweaked and the gamestlye manipulated to take full advantage of the grey areas

You obviously never saw Richmond's 1902 VFA flag. No wonder the rest of the VFL didn't let them in the comp until most of the players had retired.

 

[Tiger2709]

Has Richmond offended someone again, so sorry.

Oh no not the VFA, I hope no Geelong supporters are reading.

 

[smasha]

Hawthorn were unbelievable during that period. They’d towel Richmond up.

Richmond beat Hawthorn alot in that era of the Hawks.

 

[Bazzar]

Hawks 2013-2015 and Tiges 2017 and 2019 played 5 times.
Tiges 4 wins
Hawks 1 win.

 

[TazHawk15]

Not a Richmond hater. I was going for them tonight.

I have to admit however... Richmond would get routed by that Hawthorn team that won 3 in a row.

Even Sydney of that era, who won 1 premiership and lost 2, would probably beat them too.

I think that era was tougher.

What are you on about.

We finished in the bottom 4 this year and we still rang rings around them.

The Hawks 3 Peat teams would Flog the Tiggers by about 53 goals.

 

[TazHawk15]

That old chestnut.

So the Hawks dropped a couple of meaningless Home and Away games to the Tiggers on the way to a 3 Peat, so what?

The Hawks Flogged the Tiggers this year, does that mean anything?

 

[chelseacarlton]

MAGA wearing douchebag seeking attention, duly noted!

 

[Marcel Proust]

Agreed.

Richmond are a drilled team, super disciplined and their pressure is great but the Hawks 2013-2015 and Geelong 2007-2011 would smash them.

Credit to the coaching staff for getting peak performance (again) out of a few A-graders, some really solid B-graders and then a whole lot ok OK role players who make the most out of their limited talent.

Richmond consistently beat hawthorn during their dynastic period fwiw

 

[La Dispute]

Richmond consistently beat hawthorn during their dynastic period fwiw

And didn’t we all love it

 

[Marcel Proust]

And didn’t we all love it

Idk but seemed to match up well

 

[A Bit Dusty]

It's quite interesting that during the Hawks 3 peat 2013-2015 they played the Tigers 3 times and the Tigers won 2 of them

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

Richmond Union>Chip Chip Woodchip. Unless eight metre kicks were allowed as per the fashion at the time.
