F*ck!

That was a fizzer.

 

[BMD]

Yeah, I thought it was Richmond too, but I would have said 1999. I will bow to CJH's superior knowledge of all things black and gold however.

 

[Dan26]

Don't you find it quite irnoic that the feat was performed by a team who doesn't have a home ground advantage, and, incredibly, ebded up missing the finals in that year.

 

[TigerTank]

Ah yes, white shorts syndrome!

Richmond look so shyte in white shorts that it even affected the players.

1998 was the year of our infamous Black / White shorts debate.

We never lost a game in black shorts but only won 2 in white.

Talk about consistent!

BTW, I went to AFL tables to double check myself before I responded. Hate to make an error on something like that!

We in fact only won one away game (at least in the H&A), against Adelaide if I recall correctly!

You are correct TT.

11 + 1 = 12!

Trivia question: Who is the only team since the advent of the final 8 to miss the finals after winning 12 of 22 games?

actually brisbane made the finals with 10.5 wins....just thought I would clear it up

I remember this because one of the years was 1997 where they got in ahead of Port who also had 10.5 wins....and the draw was between....yes you guessed it Port and Brisbane. From memory Port were 25 points up in the last quarter at the Gabba and the Lions got back to pinch a draw and the subsequently go on to make the finals....grrrrrr
