Richmond should never have lost the 1972 Grand Final

Richmond coach Tom Hafey recalled: "We were expected to kill Carlton in the grand final
I was only in my 2nd year of supporting Richmond and as my father had no interest in footy -any code, I was 8. The loss made me waver, but I held and instead focussed the negative energy on hatred of Carlton. An intense emotion that grew over the years and remains very strong to this day.

I take your point! Let's hope the start to the 2022 premiership year is a complete mauling of the Tankers.
 
Hi everyone, got a bit of an AFL fantasy question here.

How's Dusty's pre-season going? Would you expect him to make a full recovery and be back to his best come rd 1? Thanks in advance.
Hope this gets met with the derision it deserves. Just kidding. Dusty is training the house down. Make him your captain. Especially R1.

Dustin Martin will be back to his voracious self, feasting on the Blues!

Beautiful words Bloodster.

Australian by birth. Tigers by the grace of god.

I’m trying to decipher my team too!!!! It’s a big question that both the experts and amateurs are on different sides of the fence. It’s usually one way.

He's a dud
 
Nathan Buckley said thus morning on sen1116,I hate degoey being compared to Dustin Martin as I rank Dustin
Alongside Carey, Mathews ,once he's finished
As the most impactful players ever .
EVER .

De Goey will be forgotten about as soon as he retires.

The best players in the league will be compared to Dusty for a long, long time after Dusty hangs up the boots.

Similar playing style - that is all. That is why they're compared. When DeGoey is on - he is comparable in the effect he has on the game - but he doesn't have the mental fortitude to do it consistently when it counts and therefore cannot compare in quality to Dusty

Think of all the players in the last handful of years that have been "potentially the next Dusty"

DeGoey
Petracca
Zurhaar
Raynor
Rankine
Stringer
Greene
Rowell

I'll let Petracca carry his bags, but the rest of them have done nothing to deserve the honour when real heat goes on.

De Goey could be compared to Carey for bringing the game into disrepute, but not much else. ;)
 
Found myself watching some Dusty highlights last night which I haven’t done in a long while.

The f’n importance of his first goal in the ‘20 GF makes it go down as the best goal of his career for mine. Down 14-35 a minute out from the half with the scoreline flattering us. Cats have the game on their terms and our forwards are struggling to get anything going on the worst possible night to do so. Just wills his way to the fall of the ball, pushes off whoever was in his way and puts the team on his back and says come with me boys. And they did

You have the Dom Sheed right place right time GF moments. But for sheer force of will when the chips were down, for a momentum changing moment on the big stage it doesn’t get much better than that. When the club needed him the most he delivered in spades then went on to kick 3 more. Forget all his medals, everyone knows he’s been the best player since 2017. That right there is why he’s the champion that he is.
