Please, Port win the Ansett Cup in 2001 and the Wizard Cup in 2002, if winning two premierships in two competitions in two seasons isn't note worthy I don't know what is!

Or if North didn’t get screwed over (32-13 frees) in the ‘94 prelim, would’ve given the Eagles a real game in the GF that year
Or if they kicked 15.6 not 6.15 in the first half of the ‘98 GF...
North would’ve had 4 flags in 6 years.
If if if.

Are you sure about that?
I think he meant 3 in a row against quality opposition.

I agree,
Des Hedland, Chris Johnson, Mal Michael, Scott Brothers, Martin Pike, Vossy would eat this Richmond team (minus Dusty) for breakfast
Do you think Tom Lynch would try anything on that brisbane team, lol

Given Richmond played away every game (bar Rd1) I think it ranks them slightly higher than Brisbane, despite Brisbane playing in 4 consecutive Grand Finals.
So now;
Richmond > Brisbane > Geelong > Hawthorn.
It's strange looking at that list though because I wonder how a team that won a three-peat could ever be so lowly ranked. I don't know 'why' I don't rate the Hawks during their time at the top, I just don't.

LOL, did you write this incase Wedgie didn't see my post? Do you want him to ban me or will just telling me off do?
At least I replied to you opposed to your woman-like cryptic sulks when you were having a crack at me.
You don't mind dishing it out but you sure as hell can't take it.

They played the best footy I've ever seen. Skillful, Brutal, Uncompromising & intimidating all in one, they could win a low scoring scrap and also a shoot out. They pushed boundaries off the field also.
Wonder if we will look back the opposition of Richmond in '17 & '19.
