what a load of rubbish, Richmond made teams look bad, we were dynamite back then and would even beat the brissy three peat side, not for star power but team connection and mechanincs.

The "at times" since he's been at Geelong was exactly one season - 2016. Martin was the best player in the comp the next year and it's ebbed and flowed around many players since.
I'd have Wade ahead of Dangerfield, Selwood neck and neck (I think Dangerfield's best was better, but Selwood more consistent and for longer). For most players you need time after they've retired to be able to look back objectively. I'd have Garry Hocking right up there as well. And there are tons of others I never saw.
yes we would, any team in the top 4 today would destroy themNo you wouldn’t.

How is selwood more consistent then dangerfield? Dangerfield has 8 all australians and selwood 6. Danger averages 0.85 brownlow votes per game while selwood averages 0.68. Thats a massive difference. Their consistency is both pretty high and at best selwoods would be equal to danger.The "at times" since he's been at Geelong was exactly one season - 2016.

Ablett and franklin are the clear top 2. Then the next 3 comes from fyfe, danger, martin and judd.Great player. Not the GOAT or even in the top 5 players of last 20 years.
they wouldn't know how to deal with the pressure, it would be all over by 2 nd quarter, nah, i think you got it wrong and dont give the current player enough credit.Any team in the top 4 playing a team from 20 years ago would, if the person making the hypothesis is doing it properly, be taking them on under even playing conditions.
So the Brisbane side of that era would meet Richmond under the assumption that they too had all the same access to updated training methods, long term exposure to current rules, updated analysis, game day tactical trends, fitness expectations, and so forth - or vice versa, that the recent Richmond side would have time to adapt to 2001-2004 training,tactical, fitness and rule trends etc.
And Brisbane would wipe the floor with them in both scenarios.
When people make those calls - ‘current so and so would flog them’ - yes of course they would.
If you went back in time, picked up Don Bradman, plonked him in the middle of Edgbaston last week, Ollie Robinson’s medium pace would probably frighten him into retiring hurt before he’d put bat on ball.
If you brought him back and gave him 6 months to practice, he’d probably go out and crack 200 not out and walk off the field wondering why people were clapping him.

He’s sort of got a point. If it wasn’t for Dustys record breaking season he’d have 2 Brownlows. 33 votes is plenty to win one. Also has 8 AAs. I don’t see how Enright is close tbh. You’d pick Enright over Danger in your team? I don’t think I would.

No they wouldn’t, lions team would be way way to slow to compete with any top side today let alone that Richmond side. Even putting aside the tactics and fitness the team composition would not work. Chaos footy always wins and their team comp are not suited to play it or play against it.
He isn't even top 3 midfielder of the 00's.Yep and this is why it elevates Dusty to GOAT
He isn't even top 3 midfielder of the 00's.
Ablett
Judd
Pendlebury
Fyfe
The rest.
The lions team would be faster because the game they play is faster in current times.
Same as Richmond going back in time wouldn’t be as fast as they are 2017-2020 because fitness and training standards back then were lower.
Look up relativity and what it means.
Enright over Dangerfield.. Most Cats fans would say yes.He’s sort of got a point. If it wasn’t for Dustys record breaking season he’d have 2 Brownlows. 33 votes is plenty to win one. Also has 8 AAs. I don’t see how Enright is close tbh. You’d pick Enright over Danger in your team? I don’t think I would.
Solid argument.LMFAO …
Pies 2023 would kill them in ground ball gets, pressure acts, turnovers and rebounds. Add in the fact that the game is more congested negating lions contested skills they primarily used as their strength back in the day, the game is over at the selection table.
Richmond is in this time period matein 20 years time come back to me.

how would they cope when modern teams that were used to the pressure couldnt? it would be all over by 2 nd qtrNo, because in your scenario they’d have been playing regularly against teams who play the same way, they would cope no problems and their higher skill level, superior physicality and general toughness would wipe Richmond off the field, regardless of what spin you want to put on it.
