Which premiership side is the best of the last four years?

Totally agree with you Coaster that the fixture was dodgy - Richmond’s last 7 weeks of H&A was a strange and unnecessary anomaly and it needed to be addressed the previous November when the fixture was constructed.
That said, Richmond only had four home matches between week 2 and week 17, three against MCG co-tenants and the other Geelong, definitely no strangers to the venue. Imagine the outrage if the Eagles were fixtured to play at Optus only 4 times across 14 consecutive rounds of a season, with at least 3 of those 4 against (a more competitive) Fremantle?
How Richmond were still in touch with the contenders by the time Round 17 came around was a miracle. Scandalous fixturing all round.

I hate saying it - but as painful as you guys were - I want those days back. Tiges fans are unbearable aren’t they?
ps: ten minutes into round two I already hate you again

Essendon 2001. Being the reigning premiers & minor premiers of that year meant they were favourites, but really come GF day ( & well beyond ) it was plain to see that the Lions were the superior team.

Win the ball and kick it to a million clunking forwards I think will be the (unClarko like) game plan for round two. Works perfectly on a narrow ground.
I only wish there were thousands of locals crying in the stands like there should be - but alas, this is the new normal and we must get used to it
Even Youd accept that Hawthorn are horrendous on any level

Defied the odds and stuck it up those that said they would not win a grand final played on the MCG!

On my level they’re not. But many avoid the level I am on - they either can’t handle it or afford it.
And what if the level was horrendousness- you would say they were not horrendous on that level I expect.

You love it
Hawthorn are the greatest team of the last 60 years
Anyone that says otherwise is a jealous hater. And probably a Donald Trump fan!

I think a little tiny bit of you inside loves Hawthorn. You even like the colours and you respect Dermot Brereton above most others I would say
As much as lovers of the sport would love to undo history, unfortunately it is what it is.
But like European fascism, Ukraine famine and other like historical disasters Hawthorn premierships are there as beacons future generations will strive to avoid
Like it or not Hawthorn will win a premiership again between 2020-2030, continuing the "premiership in every decade" mantra.... it's what we do best
I think there's a genuine feeling within the people, a rising up of the Volk, that enough is enoughLike it or not Hawthorn will win a premiership again between 2020-2030, continuing the "premiership in every decade" mantra.... it's what we do best
Take note eagles and Tigers fans
This is how you do antagonism

Eagles have a right to be up themselves, they are the second best team of the AFL era
right behind the mighty hawks!
