these stats 100% support my everlasting unbiased opinion that Tiger sides of '74,1980 & 2019 along with the Bummers of 1985 as the toughest,most ruthless & most skilled sides ive ever seen run around the park.We won the first game narrowly v Hawks, then lost the second narrowly to Bombers and drew the third v the Saints. We then won 11 in succession before losing to Fitzroy, Geelong and Carlton within a 5 game stretch. We then won 2 matches before losing the final match to the Swans, by plenty. Swans finished 6th in a 12 team comp with a 13-9 record so they weren't too shabby that year.
In the finals we won by margins of 42, 26 and 81. I don't think there are that many Premiership teams that go undefeated through finals, winning by margins of 4 goals+ in each final. Since the introduction of the final 5 system in 1972 only these teams have done it:
1980 Richmond 3 matches
1985 Essendon 2 matches
1996 North Melbourne 3 matches
1999 North Melbourne 3 matches
2000 Essendon 3 matches
2001 Brisbane 3 matches
2008 Hawthorn 3 matches
2011 Geelong 3 matches
2017 Richmond 3 matches
2021 Melbourne 3 matches
Only done by 10 teams in the last 52 finals series. It is a very strong list of Premiers to by any measure, so only the best teams of their era seem to manage it. Richmond 1980 and Essendon 1985 were the only 2 teams to achieve the feat in the 24 years between 1972 and 1995.
If you change the parameter to Premiership teams that won all their finals by 6 goals+(36 points) that list gets very short.
1985 Essendon
1996 North Melbourne
2000 Essendon
2017 Richmond
2017 Richmond is the only team to do that in the 18 team era, the fully professional era, or the team defence era. And it might be some time before we see that matched or bettered. It is funny to think that the team that had the most dominant finals series in the last 23 years actually started a clear outsider in Grand Final markets.

Bummers of '85 had TDaniher,VanDer Haar,Salmon & Merret up FWD with Harvey in a pocket

Leigh Matthews says it all the time. Players make coaches.Clarkson is finding out you are not a coach if you don't have the players.
Sorry there’s just some confusion we’re trying to resolve.He did, forgot this was an Yze thread, anything else post in other threads. Bring on the summer
Good so hopefully the criticism, ends. This offseason is the first time he has really taken full control of the list.Listened to the interview with Benny on Talking Tigers. He suggested that perhaps Yze had been treading a little too delicately this year trying not to upset the establishment given he was walking into a club that had just come off the back of a lot of success.
I think the off-field moves that are being made now are about Yze taking full control and shaping the club how he envisions it.
Spill the beansCan people now stop saying all the players love Yze? I don't believe it to be true & it's not what I have heard either.
