Match Summary
Richmond will be labelled as one of the greatest teams in the modern era after comfortably beating the Geelong Cats by 31 points in the 2020 AFL grand final. Richmond has now won back-to-back premierships and their third flag in four years. Richmond’s Dustin Martin won the Norm Smith Medal as the player judged best on ground, becoming the first player in VFL/AFL history to win three Norm Smith Medals. The match was attended by 29,707 spectators, just short of the reduced capacity allowed at the venue under pandemic guidelines.
The impact of Covid19 in Australia and across the world, has seen the format of major sporting events change in many ways. In Australia we are lucky to have seen a lighter impact from the Covid19 Virus and we have still managed to have spectators to games. Along with a minimized crowd capacity to games we saw some major changes to the 2020 grand final such as Venue and start time. These changes saw the first grand final played away from the traditional MCG, being hosted at the Gabba in Brisbane and the game also played at night instead of the traditional afternoon game.
