AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
The AFL era began in 1990. What from 1990-2016 shows a well run club on and off the field?? You were one of thr biggest on field failures out of all the vic clubs over that period. You have had a small run ( like i said, a broken clock is right twice a day) and now you have gone back to usual richmond.Omg what absolute baloney the 3 flags says otherwise. Do you even know what a poorly run club means. Being No 1 for revenue and 44 mill in the bank says otherwise. You think poorly run clubs can achieve all that. Grow a brain.
10 points off a grand final compared to a 2 win season and a wooden spoon.
Either you are just used to failure as a Richmond fan since the professionsl AFL system, or you need a reminder of what embarrassment is
If your idea is grand final win or nothing, then essentially dont watch footy as statistically you are wasting your time as the odds are always greatly stacked and only 1 team wins it each year.Riddle me this what do you get for your 10 points 'choke choke' off a GF NOTHING, NADA, ZERO
Did you get told growing up you're not that bright. FFS i just witnessed my team achieve a dynasty, 3 flags in 4 years, back2back. Failure ohh dear at Richmond we win flags 13 to be precise. 8 in the last 57 compared to the cats 4 in 60.
No matter how you cut and dice it it doesnt change that Richmond achieved a dynasty in the AFL era as you say this due to being a great team, based on previous drafting ARE YOU GETTING THIS HOMBRE

Most fans enjoy watching their team win more often than not, play great footy, and play finals frequently ( as a well run club like geelong does). I know as a richmond fan outside of a small run of s few seasons your AFL existence has comprised mostly bottom 8 finishes, huge beltings on a regular basis, and now a wooden spoon.
So i get why you try to use the line only a premiership matters, because you want to bring everyone down to richmonds level, but the fact is most geelong fans most years get to enjoy quality footy from their team and watch the replay at home, where as most weeks richmond fans in the AFL era hope the game isnt over at half time.
Geelong | 1897–present | 10 | 1925, 1931, 1937, 1951, 1952, 1963, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2022 |
Dont care about VFL as it was amateurs with full time day jobs and zoning instead of drafts. Richmond outside of a small few years is a failed afl clubWhat happened in the 70's, 80's and 90's even the start of the AFL era as you say it took another 17 years to win a flag.
Its about winning flags PERIOD and when Richmond make GF'S we generally win them.
Geelong 1897–present 10 1925, 1931, 1937, 1951, 1952, 1963, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2022
Oddly, they seem to be very content with being the worst club in the AFL.
But making finals is a necessart condition of winning flags and you cant do that. Which makes you bad at winning flags.What happened in the 70's, 80's and 90's even the start of the AFL era as you say it took another 17 years to win a flag.

Well said, the bolded especially is something richmond fans struggle to graspBut making finals is a necessart condition of winning flags and you cant do that. Which makes you bad at winning flags.
Ps. Your last three grand finals have been against poor grand final sides. 2 of them where you had an interstate advantage while playing on your home deck. I wouldnt be claiming you are a great grand final side until you start winning them against high caliber gf opposition. Like geelong did when they beat the saints in 2009 and pies in 2011. Teams that were playing in their home cities and had only lost two games each in their entire seasons.

lucked out and got to play a 13 win team followed by a 12 win team. 2020 is not a real premiership anyway since no one but the Tigers was trying (including Geelong), but congrats on the wizard home loans flag I guess, it'll sit right up there with this one; View attachment 2119305
Our last three flags were won during the Geelong dynasty alsoPs.

Don't forget, you guys have only won 1 flag with a side assembled under fair conditions (2022*), so you only beat St. Kilda and Collingwood because of the AFL allowing you to collect your father sons before changing what was later deemed to be an unfair father son rule.Like geelong did when they beat the saints in 2009 and pies in 2011. Teams that were playing in their home cities and had only lost two games each in their entire seasons.
All we know is how it turned out for Essendon when they drank the Geelong Robinson and his friend Dank kool-aid.
Let's talk about what we know, Richmond got the spoon because of all the injuries we suffered this season.
If it goes the way most think it will for us now, we could have a great draft hand, and at the end of a bad season that's a positive wouldn't you say?
We know the '22 special needs met premiers made the top 4 in '24 after missing the 8 in '23, flattered by their top 4 finish this season Geelong looked to take advantage of a weak competition and add an 11th flag. All the Geelong supporters thought they would beat an interstate team at the 'G in PF (and then beat another interstate team in a GF because Richmond with Lynch could beat them at the 'G), but then Geelong at full strength lost how do you put a positive spin on that? You call failure success I'm sorry, but that's delusional, and that's probaly why only Geelong can have a dynasty littered with failure
And we did it during the Geelong dynasty or was '22 the start of your current dynasty?
Well we are coming off a dynasty and that is based on our recruiters drafting record is it not?
Now lets not forget what transpired on Sat

All that proves is Richmond had a ton of injuries, and Geelong tried to strike while the iron was cold
The projection here is unparalleled. How come I post a single sentence and then I'm met with paragraphs of melts from multiple tuggers? Surely you spooners aren't that sensitive are you?12 wins in the shortened season is the equivalent of 16+ in 2024 mathematically.
I guess Hawkins' ONLY Coleman medal doesn't count anymore based off your assessment?
Honestly you couldn't sound any more offended if you tried.
Geelong weren't trying. Please. They were smashed by a better team and had to wait for Richmond to fall off a cliff before they could win a flag for Dangerfield's fingernails.
Dont care about VFL as it was amateurs with full time day jobs and zoning instead of drafts. Richmond outside of a small few years is a failed afl club
It's good but it's not 4.In the AFL era got to luv it 3 flags.
also might I note a little of my respect goes to Meteoric Rise and Cleansweep17 since they've been in this thread all season (obsessed with us etc.) while the rest of you weak willed individuals only showed up once Geelong was out for the yearThe projection here is unparalleled.

3 AFL flags and 3 AFL wooden spoon so really they cancel each other out. You can't all be as good as Geelong's 4 and 0 I guess but good tryhahaha you do realise its the same comp just a name change when they expanded nationally, hence why all records remain.
In the AFL era got to luv it 3 flags. And we are a rich club kinda helps i guess with recruiters all over the country spotting talent for us which delivered a dynasty. Anyway you choked, you won nothing.

I'm not sensitive at all, just reminding the Geelong fans what we did during your "dynasty"The projection here is unparalleled. How come I post a single sentence and then I'm met with paragraphs of melts from multiple tuggers? Surely you spooners aren't that sensitive are you?

I'm not weak willed, I get banned all the time for no reason, or maybe it's because the Geelong supporters are weak willed?also might I note a little of my respect goes to Meteoric Rise and Cleansweep17 since they've been in this thread all season (obsessed with us etc.) while the rest of you weak willed individuals only showed up once Geelong was out for the year
