Yep, now there's only 3 teams I haven't seen play in a GF.
Richmond.
Gold Coast.
GWS.
Honestly, they've won 3 finals since I've been alive.

Prior to 1995, they were a long time in the wilderness, like 1982!
All their finals revivals are merely flashes in the pan.

Me too. The fact that the wife goes for them is just the icing on the cake.

Same here. My older brother is a Dogs supporter and stuck with them thick and thin so I'm happy for the Dogs.
I'm just hoping we can win it again soon.

You, me and every pies supporter hopes that. It's frustrating watching other teams win it, but the Bulldogs started their rebuild 2-3 years before us, so we aren't too far. Just a couple of missing players and time.

The Dogs started their rebuild at the end of 2011, and us at the end of 2013.

Actually, the Demons have been waiting since '64....
And long may that continue as well.

I'd prefer to see Melbourne win a flag before Richmond if given the choice.

F that for a joke. Geez, what choice. Melbourne of Richmond?
I know too many people that go for Melb who know shit all about the game, but will tell you they are an AFL professor. So Richmond.
But then again, I know a lot of Richmond people who are Richmond people.
