Yeah they were impressive especially as an interstate team.
Richmond has the record MCG win streak (22 wins). I’m confident we’d beat anybody at the MCG at our best. Other grounds are a different story.

OP's stats indicate that Essendon beat the weakest competition in AFL/VFL history. Pretty much the ultimate Bradbury premiership.

I agree with that. Although Melbourne were in better form (they had won 10 out of 11 going into the game). The reality was that Essendon was probably about a 4-5 goal better side than Carlton, at least in a statistical sense. When you take a couple of key players out of Carlton, that blows out to 8-10 goals which we saw on Preliminary Final day
Geelong maybe?
Collingwood 2018 (PF) - I still believe our best would have lost to Collingwood that night though. It's the best I've seen them play since in the 2010 PF against Geelong.

2018 Dusty was injured and the backline had gastro. Lynch wasn’t even in the team yet.
In finals (plus the full 2018 season) from 2017-2020 we were undefeated at the MCG when fully fit.
Also got the record % win in a GF (456% I believe)
With a record like as well as having the best finals player ever I think it’s hard to argue otherwise.
I only see an argument for Bombers 2000 at the MCG.

it's funny that Richmond "had gastro" is a legitimate excuse but when another team has any kind of issue affecting the players its "LOLOL COPE HARDER"

And Dimma had an STD. Any other excuses?

You just can’t help yourself can you. Wasn’t even talking about a Geelong.
I know our record hurts you. Go be insecure somewhere else.

Why are you so delusional I never said that. I’m very pro injury excuse, it affects games and results, for everyone.
I personally believe the whole “a good team gets it done anyway” is BS.
And again wasn’t even talking about Geelong and you pop your insecure head up again. Go away.

you're so desperate for my attention, its truly weird, every thread I post in and there you are derailing it
Neanderthal game plan Tigers- bash it forward for hackers like Canstagna to take it forward- isn't a highpoint of the sport
I trust they are rated accordingly

2018 PF being "gastro impacted" is as good as fact. Astbury was hospitalised on a drip
Same story for Geelong in the 2021 PF - it happens, & is the simplest explanation of such horrific performances
It's not to say the gasto-teams would have won otherwise, but they certainly would have not curled their toes up the way they did
& vindicating things further, who won the 2019 and 2022 premierships?

Don’t worry they know, they can’t bring themselves to say it as it makes our record look better. Simple as that really.
But anyway Geelong shouldn’t even be mentioned in this thread their 3 premiership teams weren’t top tier imo.
