Richmond 100 years since their first flag. Geelong Gary Ablett's uncle played his last game and won the flag the last time the Grand Final was not played at the MCG. Must be more...

Sycophantic brown noser Bruuce is adjudicating the Norm Smith so the Omen from that is Danger or Dusty will win it no matter how well they play.

Last time two teams who didn't finish 1 and 2
Richmond won
Richmond won
If you add up the letter values (A=1, B=2 etc) you get:
Dustin Martin = 162
Patrick Dangerfield = 163
Well, I think that's settled the Norm Smith medal.......................................

The last time Richmond played a GF other than at the MCG was in 1944 at Junction Oval. They lost to Fitzroy. Fitzroy never won another premiership which is not a great omen for Geelong if they win.
Richmond has beaten Geelong in 9 of 10 finals series where the teams have met, missing in 1995, for 7 flags.
Not particularly relevant to this thread but I haven't shared this on Bigfooty before.
2016 Elimination Final, I spent pre-game listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. I'm not a huge Pink Floyd fan but I felt like listening to them for whatever reason. Dogs win.
Skip ahead to the semi-final. Driving to the game, had the radio, what comes on? Time by Pink Floyd. Dogs win.
Preliminary final, drove up to Sydney. Had my Spotify shuffling randomly through my few thousand songs. Get to Sydney. What comes on? Time by Pink Floyd. Dogs win.
Grand Final. I don't hear Time all week. Comes to the day, I'm nervous. Still haven't heard it. I'm in my seat pre-game, no Time. The omen is gone. 1 minute to go before the bounce. What's that I hear? They ****ing play the bells intro of Time by Pink Floyd right before the bounce. Dogs win.
I haven't listened to Time since

Hmmm, where do we start with Geelong?
- in 2007, we lost to Port Adelaide in the penultimate round of the season. We went on to smash them in the grand final that year. This year we lost to Richmond in the penultimate round...
- The last 4 times Geelong and Collingwood played in a cut throat final, the winner went on to win the Premiership (Geelong in 07, 09, 11 & Collingwood in 2010). We beat them in a cut throat final this year...
- In 2010, we lost to Collingwood in the prelim who went on to win the premiership. We then lost our best player in that game to an interstate side with the word Coast in their name. The following year we played Collingwood in the grand final and won. Last year we lost to Richmond in the prelim who went on to win the premiership. We then lost our best player in that game to an interstate side with the word Coast in their name. The following year we're playing Richmond in the grand final...
- In the last 4 all-Victorian grand finals, the team who was more dominant in the finals (in terms of final margin) ended up winning the premiership. Geelong were +99 in their final margins this year. Richmond were +29.
- The last two teams who were thought to be too old and too slow won the flag (Hawthorn in 1991 and Geelong in 2011). People think we're too old and too slow this year as well.
- Michael Voss is doing special comments tomorrow night. Last time he was in the commentary box was the 2007 Grand final.

Had a dream we won by 28. Plus the fact Benny Gale back in 2010 had a vision of 3 flags by 2020.
6th grand final where both teams have gone in unchanged, and 3rd in the past four years.
Richmond 6-3 with unchanged GF teams, Geelong 3-2.
3rd highest combined average age for any match.

The last 6 times Richmond has beaten Geelong in September, they've gone on to win the Premiership

Geelong have never won a GF when shown live on channel 7.
89-95 era were all on 7. The 07-11 era had alternating GF's between 7 and 10. The three wins were on 10, while 2008's loss was on 7.

Gary Ablett jnr has been compared to the great Leigh Matthews who played his last game in a losing grand final to a team winning back2back flags.
That was 35 years ago, the number worn by Geelong’s best player.
