Richmond 2017 AFL Premiers

that Richo interview with Jack ...

Jack " ....and now we are *smile* premiers, oops sorry about that"

Richo " you can say anything you like "

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
Loved that it was pure joy from Jack there and later Dusty Sin.

Not scripted party line.

Elation.


I’ve watched that last quarter so many times, but it still , to me, feel like it’s the first time and ‘the wait is over’.

In full flight not many could match us during that period of 17-22.

We let ‘ourselves’ down and other factors stopped a true ‘juggernaut from possibly winning another one!

That side would have Collingwood walking off the G in tears.

Because we were the best runners in AFL history
We had Edwards Lambert Graham Ellis Bulter Castagna Rioli and Prestia that never stopped running.
Because we never stopped running we always had option's. Having option's made our game plan look simple but no-one has replicated us.
We wouldve beaten Brisbane by more then we beat GWS in our prime
You forgot the best one of all-Houli.

It's been great reliving the 17, 19 & 20 finals series this week on the back of the Martin 300.

Watching the 19 & 20 highlights is easy. But still anything about 2017 brings me to tears. Greatest Day in the history of the world.
