AFL Round 16, 2018

Re: AFL Round 16, 2018

I don't think you can use the Bradbury excuse given they have back up last years success so well this year. It's not like there has been a divine parting of the season for them over 2 years. They're a top 4 side this year no matter what.

Let's see how they go with some injuries first before we lionise them as the greatest team ever. Let's see how they go when luck turns against them. They are a lucky team, I will concede that and they have the AFL firmly in their corner manipulating things to Richmond's advantage. I'd love to see how they would go is most of their competitive advantage was removed from under them like it was for us.

They are the least deserving premiership team of all time and I won't buy the fact that they are having another good season as proof that they are anything but the competition's golden haired boys. In fact Bradbury was more deserving of his gold medal than any Richmond player who fluked a premiership medal last year.

Wow Twodogs you have gone to town on them, way over the top in my opinion.
They are a good side, and flags aren't fluked, they absolutely smashed all sides in the finals last year.
We did it the hard way and a lot harder than them in 2016 but as they say just make finals and be at your best in the final 4 weeks , they were best by the length of the straight last year and look pretty good this year.
They have little injuries but that's also a compliment to their medical staff , that club is doing a lot right !
They copied us from 2016 I have no doubt but they have gone another level with team spirit and playing as mates.
I'm sorry mate but they are a very good outfit.

I know you are talking finals.

Yeah, reckon they are a lock for top 2 so they won't have to leave Jolimont in September

Oh and no ones saying they are the greatest team ever.
We were the golden boys for 2017 but we fell in such a hole the narrative became the opposite.
Along came Richmond and ripped it away while we tried to fix the debacle we became, eg Stringer gate .
We have been our own worst enemy and blokes like Barrett jumped on it.
I have no doubt we are on the way out of it and on the way up again but until then the tigers are the flavour of the last couple of years and they deserve it

meh! I spoke the truth, that's all. Didn't have to travel, teams self destructed before and while they were playing them, Richmond barely had an injury. They feasted on some soft kills and then someone handed them a premiership Medallian.

I repeat, Luckiest. Premiers. Ever.

They have massive holes in their list, the commentators were harping on that for most of the last quarter . They would be a good team to offload a few players. We gave them tutt , Everitt and jones .

It going to be a few more years for them to be competitative . Dale thomas looks tired , graham is slow . Andrew Phillips is still on their list ???? Up there with TOP ekers of the decade

Really enjoyed seeing them get floggged by the lions .

How was Jones kick to Hipwood? You can see the light go out with some players as they sense they have the ball drop wrong and it did with Jones today.
