Everybody knows the holy grail in the AFL is the finals rule of 8.

This is what all clubs seek.

It is why the Cats were so upset about being smashed & humiliated by the Tigers in the 2020 Grand Final. It brought the rivalry into finals rule of 8 terrain. Only 3 clubs have achieved an 8+ win finals domination over a rival club. And two of those clubs are Richmond.

Teams with an 8 or more win surplus in finals over a rival team in the history of the competition:

1.  Richmond 16w 1d 6l v Carlolton

2.  Melbourne 16w 1d 6l v Lollingwood

3.  Richmond 10w 2l v Geelol

Next week viewers, please tune in when we will provide a list of finals rule of 5 teams.  This is the short list of teams who have won at least 5 x as many finals as they have lost against a particular opponent.

The following week we can delve into exactly how many rivalries meet the entry requirements for both the finals rule of 8 & the finals rule of 5.  We are led to believe this list is extremely short.
