RTSSG’s full member feature, 🐯 WOKE UP THINKING OF MEATBALLS 🍝, opens the evidence behind this question.

Dion Prestia’s 2019 preliminary final included 28 disposals, 13 contested possessions, seven clearances, nine inside 50s, five tackles and two goals.

What do those numbers reveal about Richmond’s September football when the game is viewed beyond its most famous highlights?

Is that actually the right way to read it? What changes when the evidence is placed beside Richmond’s wider list, role and rebuild context?

What contradicts the obvious explanation? Who or what does this put under pressure, and what would Richmond have needed to prove next?

Those questions are where the Public version stops. The full RTSSG member feature follows the evidence through to the judgement: 🐯 WOKE UP THINKING OF MEATBALLS 🍝.
