Match Summary

Richmond has confirmed their greatness with not only the 2019 premiership win but one of the biggest grand final wins in the history of the game. Unlike Western Bulldogs in 2016 and the Richmond Tigers in 2017, the GWS could not pull off the same fairy tale ending and win the flag from 6th on the ladder. In the end they were out tackled and outperformed by a more intense, hungry Tiger side.

The 2019 AFL Grand Final took place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 28 September 2019 in nfront of a crown of 100,014 spectators. Richmond’s Dustin Martin won the Norm Smith Medal as the player judged best on ground.

It was the eighth consecutive grand final which featured one Victorian team and one non-Victorian team, and it was only the second grand final in VFL/AFL history (and the first since 1980) that did not feature either team that finished first or second on the ladder at the conclusion of the home-and-away season.
