Hope everyone in the AFL get to their families safely after one of the strangest years, thank you so much for putting thousands if not a few million smiles on people’s face every game, also thank you to QLD,WA,SA and NSW for supporting all 18 teams with hubs, absolute nothing but respect.

[@truefunksoul8638]

Is it fair to acknowledge that Toby Nankervis is a truly great ruckman now, not just a 'workhorse' taking the load in the ruck? The way he plays around the ball is like another midfielder in there and he takes big important marks consistently when he drops back. Amazing that he has gone from a fringe player at the Swans to a triple premiership winning Richmond legend in 4 seasons since arriving in 2017. Prestia also came on board in that off season and Jack Graham arrived as an 18 yo from Adelaide. These guys have known nothing but success at Richmond and it's safe to say that all the triple premiership players are Tiger heroes forever and some of them are legends. Cotchin and Martin are comfortably both already in the top 10 Tigers ever, probably the top 5. Dusty will end up at #1 ahead of them all.

[@PaulDimopoulos]

First things first. Congratulations to Richmond. A year filled with devastation across the globe and in Australia. Away from Melbourne for nearly 4 months have been the club that standing out for the past few months. Secondly, for a guy that seen so much success in a small amount of time (5 Grand Finals in 8 years) you always think the team is on top of the world. And doing some you know eventually once you reach the top of the mountain, the only way is down. In doing so you sacrifice staff over the years. In doing so Clarko has created and established many of his Assistant Coaches and managers into AFL Coaches. Fagan, Bolton, Beverdige, Simpson, Ratten, Cameron and Hardwick. Something that only deepens his legacy and creation of proteges. Something that he has kept alive since the 2013 Grand Final to today. 8 years straight he has had either himself or a protege winning a flag. Something I can look up to after a poor season. Thirdly. Damien Hardwick. This guy has changed the way Richmond played after struggling with consecutive final losses. Even what’s happened this year with the incidents you could tell Richmond were undisciplined to an extent, thanks to today’s social media and internet. Even rumours that Hardwick wanted to leave and was going to get sacked due to these circumstances. Believe it or not it has happened. But never gave up and got that chance in 2017. Then... we’ll you know what happens next. And be appreciative that the Season was so close to being pulled due to the COVID that has occurred. Especially how people talked about how the season still continued while people lost their businesses, loved ones to Covid or mental health and heading into a possible recession, thinking why has it still continued while people are getting battered with this crisis. It’s gone past the stage with the season ending now. But what’s happened, has happened. It’s a shame as well that we lost the Grand Final this year to Queensland. Disappointed the tradition has been broken, last one held outside the G was in 1991 at Waverley Park. And Finally, Ablett. Wasn’t the fairytale ending he was looking for but Farewell little master. One of the greatest players to play in the AFL Era. Despite giving us Hawk fans nightmares and being a bother in close encounters but got one better in 2013 Prelim Final. I know most people won’t read this but thanks if you do and have a great rest of 2020 and be safe. Counting down to the 2021 and the Season. PS: Something my father told me when we won three in a row. “Enjoy the ride, while you can”. Here’s one from me: “Don’t be sad Hawthorn Fans because it’s over Smile because it happened” 😉

The tiges were just the better team on the day, they didn’t do anything to personally attack you. The afl doesn’t have an impact on who wins or loses, only the umpires and the players do.

[@TheAlphaDingo]

Not only did this game end the Dusty v Danger debate, it showed that one is a genuine match winning superstar, the other a player who plays for frees by flopping like a fish and goes missing for half a game.

[@ThotslayFeetusdeletus]

So you’re judging 2 people’s careers of 1 game

[@TheAlphaDingo]

@@ThotslayFeetusdeletus nope, just the head to head record of the 2 in finals. They've played 3 finals together and Dusty has been close to or BOG in all of them while Danger constantly goes missing for a supposed superstar. Dusty also a 3x Norm Smith and best finals series player winner - something Danger has never done himself. When the pressure goes up during the business season, Dusty is by far the better player. I know who I'd prefer as a Hawks fan.

[@ThotslayFeetusdeletus]

@@TheAlphaDingo of the 3 times Geelong and Richmond have clashed in a final Dangerfield has been the better player with only one time did Dustin Martin rank higher in game stats also norms smith require you to be the best average of 4 games overall while all Australians require you to be the best 22 in the league on average the entire season which one is harder play 5 good matches or play 22 good matches

[@TheAlphaDingo]

@@ThotslayFeetusdeletus Curious where you are getting your stats from because you are wrong unless you are looking at fantasy points? Danger butchered the ball in typical Danger fashion in 2017 going at 45%. Yeah he may have had 31 touches but if nearly half of those are clangers and turnovers, he is doing more harm than good. Google any of the match reports and you’ll see Martin mentioned as the best on field. 2019 PF: Dusty injured in first quarter and still finishes with 22 and 2 goals in a tight game. Danger played well in the first half and got a soft free kick goal but was then not seen again. Again, go read up on the match reviews or player ratings. No need to mention the 2020 GF as that was as dominant a display as you could see. Being good in a 22 game season is all well and good but you play footy to win premierships and to do that, you need to win finals. Dangerfield may be a decent player during less pressure filled games but in finals, he goes to custard. The truly best players of any code will stand up in the biggest moments and that is something Dangerfield has never done and likely never will.

It was so heartbeaking to see Ablett go out like that . Very emotional when he was with is family. He has had a year from hell with his son. Lets not forget though he won a Grand Final in 2007 with the Cats. I am an Eagles supporter from WA but have been in melbourne all year. This sounds weird but I was almost glad to see two Victorian teams in the final. It was the only joy for Victorians all year and it showed how tough Victorians are on many levels at getting through this crap year and still prevailing on the big day. Nobody else really gets it unless you have been in Lockdown for 8 months.

Richmond couldn't win away from their home ground the MCG, all their premierships in recent years were basically handed to them! What on earth do the critics and naysayers have to say now, that Richmond has won away from home for more than 3 mths??? West Coast, Brisbane & Port bombed out of the finals and on their respective home grounds & by Victorian teams. They had their own beds to sleep in their own grounds to play on & they let it slip out their hands. The best team of the year rose to the occasion and won the flag. One of the most amazing Grand Final achievements in History! YELLOW AND B(L)ACK TO BACK! GO TIGERS

[@themaster7552]

It’s basically just a year for non-Victorian teams, since every year it’s usually the Victorian teams who have that favour, especially MCG teams, since when they play other Victorian teams like geelong, they force them to play at MCG even if it’s a geelong home game.

[@adams4240]

Agreed, Port and Brisbane choked this year. Both had good injury runs, barely travelled all year, home ground in the finals and they both blew it, especially Brisbane. I said they were pretenders last year and they still are. Lots of talent in that team but not much spine under pressure.

Richmond would’ve flogged west coast. Adelaide did them by 76 and then got done by 48, and they’ve won the last two times they’ve played, what gives you the right to claim that? 😂 not even a Richmond supporter but I wouldn’t be so arrogant.
