Nothing sums up Richmond in 2020 like this one thing

Hahaha.. best way to know that you've got someone by the balls on the Bay, and that they know it, is when they start insulting you personally, then only quote your first line, and ignore the rest of what you said!

Ahh so nobody insults anyone on the Bay, what an astute observation there Einstein

Now if you could just put that enormous brain to this math problem and then try to explain it to your peers

15 > 12

Speaking of math... doesn't it bother you a little bit that 40% of your 15 premierships happened before the TELEVISION was invented?

Do they give you a television if you win the flag?

Guess we'll just have to do with these... 3 IN A ROW WON AGAINST YOUR CLUB... AND YOU NEVER RECOVERED

I love it how the best insult people have against Richmond these days are that they didn't win 3 flags in a row, only 2 out of 3.

yeah, it's absolutely devastating. We've won as many flags in 3 years as Collingwood have in 60. They have to go back to dark ages to find their last period of domination.

Right... I don't really understand this logic though, because whether you look just at recent history, or go back decades, Richmond are ahead in terms of flags.

Collingwood only pip Richmond if you go all the back to the 1910's... easiest way to illustrate this is to go backwards and count the flags, and see how long it takes for Collingwood to actually get ahead in the count.

Flags since 2010 - Richmond 2 Collingwood 1
Flags since 2000 - Richmond 2 Collingwood 1
Flags since 1990 - Richmond 2 Collingwood 2
Flags since 1980 - Richmond 3 Collingwood 2
Flags since 1970 - Richmond 5 Collingwood 2
Flags since 1960 - Richmond 7 Collingwood 2
Flags since 1950 - Richmond 7 Collingwood 4
Flags since 1940 - Richmond 8 Collingwood 4
Flags since 1930 - Richmond 10 Collingwood 7
Flags since 1920 - Richmond 12 Collingwood 10

Counting back through the decades, even if you measure cleanly over the last century (1920-2020), Richmond still have more flags than Collingwood over that time. It's only when you make the measurement 110 years or more, that Collingwood finally overtake us.

Essentially, 1/3 of your premierships have come prior to the 1920's.

In addition to this, Collingwood won 2 flags before Richmond joined the VFL in 1908. After their 1958 flag, they led the head to head count 11 to 5. Now it stands at 13-12. But yet, they deny the gap is closing.

It’s not really a true representation of your modern history though. In 40 years you have won 2 flags.
It remains to be seen if you can top Collingwood by winning another one from now in this time frame you have now created. You have 20 more years from now if you can pass them by winning 3 in 60 years.

So if you cannot win another premiership with this list before 2040 you are no better than Collingwood, in fact you are less.
You have 20 years from now.
