You'd barely have had time to taste them.I watched the 3rd quarter of the preliminary final today, i drank 3 stubbies
I've been going through the 2017 and 2019 finals, 2019 PF today. What a wonderful second half. It is also noticeable that we weathered their ascendancy through the 2nd quarter (where Geelong set up very well and played some great footy) and they should not have been 21 points up, rather only 15 if not for the ridiculous free and 50 to Dangerfield.
The judgements on 50m penalties in that game was absurdly inconsistent, even Richo was complaining about it at one point.

Its not just the 50 we copped, its the 50 we didnt get.
Geelong at the end were lucky they only lost by 19 points.
Could've been more embarrassing. We missed 3 sodas in the 2nd half.
Yes i couldn't believe that the commentators weren't raving about it, because it was a thing of beauty. How good was Shorty's 60 metre kick to Jack to set that play up.
It's the end result that matters
Shorty kicked it, Dusty called for it and Jack delivered.
Immortal moment.
But champion data don't have a stat for those actions so they don't actually exist. Nothing for the media to bother getting excited about.
Get the ball in deep for the forwards to contest n bring the ball to ground for the smalls to either score or lock the ball in. Perfectly executed n we've been practicing this stuff for three years n every coach n nuffer media expert simply can't figure out what or how we do it

I am happy to go on record as saying the first four goals after half time in the PF were all amongst the best you will see.
Remember we were behind and it was a high pressure game.
First...PrestiaCotchinEdwards tackle and release the ball for Caddy to pass to Prestia who hits Lynch lace out. A classic RFC 2019 goal.
Second...We disposess Cats with tackling on the wing, Short dodges two Cats and kicks to a contest without fear . JR does a sublime tap to Martin who reads it perfectly. Another classic RFC 2019 goal.
Third...Gryan whoever passes to Selwood, three Tigers disposess him and Bolton hits Castagna with a sublime pass splitting two defenders without fear.. Another classic.
Fourth...Edwards wins loose ball, cooly passes to Caddy, passes to Prestia who has outrun his opponent who kicks to top of the square, Lynch v three Cats, no fear, Lynch marks and wins free.
All goals were fabulous. Very little recognition. Commentators do not understand the Richmond way. No pausing, no need for perfect target, trust in team mate to contest hard, fierce tackling, constant running and honouring team mates effort to be available.
We are goals better than all other teams....just wish George could kick and handball.
