if you're going to bait the hook at least put a worm on it

There's also something about living in the past too
Perhaps Tiger fans realise they are done as real threats next few years

Evolve
Yeah it evolved from high class skill and precision footy to a rolling scrum once you guys forced a turnover. You were just so good with that style it disguised the fact it wasn't actually that great. Credit to Dimma for utilising a different way to be successful but I wouldn't call it evolving from when we were good. A slight regression if anything. Sounds biased but that's the reality.
If that style was a regression, then it would not have been so devastatingly effective.
It was a mess

The point I'm making is the footy evolved a different way. But IMO not
I put it nicely but that's a blunt description.
They won though with that style so all power to them but it's hardly the high watermark of the competition

Being very very kind , it was like watching professional Auskickers running around and just showed how weak the competition was at the time .

What Tigers fans don't want to admit is that Dimma tried to emulate the way we played our footy but it didn't work so he went down a different path. It's on record somewhere. Doesn't take away his ability as a coach to implement the strategy he did though.

Our great teams from the past were so much better there really is no comparison. Superstars everywhere and Richmond had Castagna.
It might also be a product of the passage of time, but there was always far more respect bw hawthorn and Geelong than with the rather vulgar tigers

There always has been TBH. We were the benchmarks of the comp for a long time and you guys are back holding the baton again.
No the competition was made to look weak against teams that insisted on playing the possession game style like geelong and the eagles etc
melbourne employed a more attacking game style and got a result and after years of persisting scott finally gave in and also changed to a more 'kaos' style game plan - And got a flag
Richmond running and pressure game style change the game

Sydney in 2014 were easily on paper better than any side Richmond faced during their premiership era and were hot favourites going into it and we absolutely annihilated them with some of the best footy you will see. Richmond never got near that level and if any fans say they did their talking out their arse.
Hawthorn, Geelong, Sydney and Fremantle, the previously strong teams were all on the decline. It is telling that teams like GWS and Adelaide really only had 1 season up there, and it is because they were weak teams that were only up there because of the decline of the teams that were above them.

We were doing forward pressure and high press footy long before you guys did. We just combined 2 elements together. Remember Cyril?. Don't act like you guys transformed the game. You didn't. You took advantage of a weaker era between great eras that went before you.
These are anti Tiger views
Ha ha Richmond changed the game
By reducing it to an ugly level
The game is now pure and clean after the Tiger dark years

Martin stands out in the team because he's the only pure footballer with skill. And that's a compliment to Dusty's ability. A modern day great that stood out amongst the chaos style footy.
Believe me Geelong doesn't copy Richmond

One man forward pressure from Cyril? Really? Richmond were playing all ground pressure and defense mate. And your pressure zone was starting forward and was rolling back. Hence the name rolling press. Richmond’s forward pressure zone was always deep and it was our defenders who were rolling forward, creating a second pressure “wall” at half forward.
You never had the discipline to play like this, none of the teams in the AFL era had it. Stop exposing your lack of footy knowledge. Richmond wouldn’t have let you play your keepings off footy. Eight out of ten times our “dynasty” would have beaten your “dynasty” comfortably….
