    Richmond Lost Years vs Sydney Found Years

    Not sure if anyone caught the Tigers doco on Fox Footy - if not the whole thing is on YouTube. Anyhow, it's interesting comparing and contrasting the fortunes of the two clubs. I would have thought that in the early 1990s we were in very similar positions.

    In 1992 we were last with 3 wins and a draw; they were 3rd last with 5 wins
    In 1993 we were last with 1 win; they were 2nd last with 4 wins
    In 1994 we were last with 4 wins; they were 9th with 12 wins
    In 1995 we were 12th with 8 wins; they were 3rd with 15 wins and a draw
    In 1996 we were 1st with 16 wins and a draw; they were 9th with 11 wins

    For me the round 4 game against them will always be a sliding doors moment - we lost our first two and then defeated Collingwood in Round 3. Played Tigers and were down by 21 points at the last change. Kicked 5 goals in three-quarters and then five in the last to win by one point.

    From there we've never looked back. We've gone from basket case to being one of the most respected and envied teams in the league.

    Yes I watched it and really enjoyed it. It only reinforced to me how well we have done at the crucially underestimated area of list management in recent years.
