Any award that doesnt allow players from multiple clubs to compete for it has to be an internal club thing for me, no way another entity needs be involved. Even with the grand final boosting and playing the same number of games, the fact that no player from the grand final teams managed to rack...

Playing/winning in the h&a season and other finals doesnt make you a premiership player, it helps your club reach the grand final. I concur with the view that some recognition should be given for that, but not the same as grand final players. A good example I reckon is Jack Payne. Played most...

I like the tradition of umpires judging the award and I think disposals is an overrated quick and easy metric that doesnt always pass the eye test. Maybe AFL should come up with a stats award each season to keep people happy. Can say 1 goal == 5 disposals and most disposals in a game wins BOG...

I dont think looking at the h&a matchup counts for anything when it comes to the richmond side of that era. Of the 12 finals the tigs played in between 17-20, 3 of them went the same way as the h&a game, 3 of them were played against sides tigs went 1-1 against during h&a and the remaining 6...

One of these years I'll get around to buying a tigs membership and when I do I'd be happy with buying such an option, never been a fan of the gambling adds. Damn just made me think about an option where you pay for there to be no advertising on the jumpers, might be adding up though.

Last chance I guess Brisbane Melbourne Richmond Carlton Geelong Fremantle Port Adelaide Sydney Gold Coast Adelaide Hawthorn Western Bulldogs Essendon Collingwood North Melbourne West Coast Greater Western Sydney St. Kilda Brissie beat Rich in grannie

Dang its interesting going through the OP and seeing just how many of these historical climbers feel so unpredictable. All of these teams had issues they for one reason or another managed to overcome. And they were largely overcome during the offseason without anyone being able to really notice...

Been said a few times already but 2005 Sydney-Geelong Semi, Nick Davis 4 goals in the last quarter, in what was an ultimately 7.14 to 7.11 game was sublime.

Saw a kid with a Richmond cap at the giant's steps in Ireland a few weeks ago

Correct me if I'm wrong but since 2017 at least, and in many of the other years listed, it seems to have gone to the coach of the club that jumped the most ladder positions from the year before? In many ways that makes it one of the more deserving awards going round. Except of course how much...

More like roll a 20 sided die 😆

Great set of players, congrats to all and comiserations to the close ones.

It sucks. I suppose I'm just disappointed mostly with the wasted opportunity; it is marginally less bad than the last one.

It is one of the easier industry awards to do based on outcome and thats why it's probably my favourite. They seem to be quite deserving winners, particularly recent years, going to side that climbed furthest up the ladder. I think on average there's one team from outside the top 8 in the...

I haven't seen the 18 gf, was pretty salty at the time and wanted both teams to somehow lose it. Then as more and more time went by it just seemed less worth bothering.

It's interesting that 8th holds its own against 5th as often as it does.

Gee Collingwood seem to have left a long line of jilted lovers over the years :laughing:

Looking at afltables, Gold Coast's 3rd best h2h is against us @ 5-7, after North (8-8) and Carlton (7-9), both of whom you'd say have been much worse off than us in the time since GC entered the league. So yeah, they've matched up well against us, in so much as they've matched up well against...

It makes me wonder how much of shai's cureent/future form/potential is because of how the club have decided to develop him? Some people have already touched on it a little with cyril in this thread, are there any other small forwards with similar talent that people think if they were given more...

oh man, a brisbane home gf for pergaps the only time ever, after breaking a 10 year losing streak a few weeks b4, would have been mouth watering

That he did, played great.

It's the best thing that could have happened to Stengle - Getting picked up by Geelong is the kind of rock bottom we could never have given him.

That's interesting, I don't follow NRL but that does sound like a way better sytem. Question though, one of the things that stands out about the 7-11 Geelong side is a high proportion of players taken in the national draft, do you reckon you would have enjoyed the same success then, and have...

Solid thread

Parents have dragged me to richmond games for as long as I remember. I liked waving the flag when everyone around us went crazy but otherwise never really got into it, just seemed to be a bunch of guys running around with a ball causing my dad a lot of stress. There's a much loved photo of me...

Bevo shouldn't have done what he did, it was disgraceful. However in saying that I don't think it should be a jouno's job to leak things like team selection. Leak a government scandal or something sure, but this is the integrity of a sporting competition, it hurts a couple/bunch people and the...

Congrats Ollie Wines!

Technically Lynch and Houli weren't traded in, but I take your point. Geelong 2011 only had one player (Ottens) from another club, and stunningly they had 20 players taken by them in the national draft! That's something you almost never see (before or since).

Yeah I think the rest of the list and the assistant coaches and administrators and whoever else the club wants should 100% get something, just not what the 22/3 who actually played got. Whatever award you receive for getting your team into a grand final, every player on the list of the club that...
