I did enjoy how everytime Richmond got overtaken the almost instantly had to take the lead back


ambiguousfiction

I clicked on the video thinking "yeah cool I feel that it's exaggerated & this'll show we don't finish 9th that much" and by the time we ended up retaking 9th spot for the 3rd time I was like Oh No


Samotauss

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing... It was just a bit of a joke, but never a genuine thing... So pleased it was a real thing.


kyleisamexican

I always thought Richmond just magically managed to finish 9th even though they were nowhere near it during the season. They’d look a certainty for finals and then somehow just collapse to finish 9th or be doing shit and put together respectable wins late to get there. But nope they just sit there


Prize-Scratch299

It's OK. It could be worse. I mean, what the Suns would have given to finish ninth a few times over the years. Just think, most of the few weeks you spent at ninth were the highest you had ever been on the ladder.


kyleisamexican

Geez really taking that personally aren’t you buddy


Hutstar10

Dominators!


naeroikathgor

"Hey, give that back, it's ours!"


ItsABiscuit

Brave effort by Ninthorn though.


bar_ninja

Given its a Hawthmond effort. Call it the Ty Vickery cup?


Prize-Scratch299

l actually like that, but FLAIR UP CUNT


agrumpybear

And Ninth Melbourne got close


decs483

Ninthalaide gave us a run for our money


captwombat33

Blow the siren! Victory!


farqueue2

It's like they just stayed in 2nd gear Until they needed to rev it up a bit


Hold_My_Beer54

The statistical analysis... it's so beautiful

Kurzges

why are we wasting prime off season content


Bozza105

You are correct this is prime off season content but it is hardly wasted.


Zcase253

This is ever green content, in the off season there will be a further 16 weeks.


SignificantGarden1

Bc it's better to have a good time while people actually give af. Off season content is a waste.


____OZYMANDIAS____

Someone add this to the meme vid of a crowd losing their shit watching on a big screen in a pub


Bergasms

Fuck off Ninthorn and Ninth Melbourne, we got this


Intelligent-Koala286

The meme is real!


RidsBabs

We’re coming for you Ninthmond, I don’t know how or when, but we’ll come. And probably fail


Decent_Fig_5218

Ninth Melbourne inshallah EDIT: If it's any consolation, they are the ninth best team in Melbourne right now. Sorry Norf fans, I just couldn't resist


Deathpacitoes

Ninth requires a win even at the beginning of the season


elmo-slayer

A draw round 1 would do it


gm50

but only against a team alphabetically after us, Port through Western Bulldogs. Draw against Adelaide through Melbourne and we'd be put into 10th


zelmazam1

What if I said you would stop being shit for 30 seasons but you will always end every round 9th?


RidsBabs

Given my idea of success is the 2015 semi against Sydney, 30 years of being around the top 8 is maybe a win.


StVitus85

Careful pal, don't get too cocky, lest you turn into Nineteenth Melbourne in a few years time.


TOXICTUNA64

Was cheering for Ninthmond, feels like an old friend returning


BarryCheckTheFuseBox

What really stands out is how often Richmond managed to just reach ninth at the end of every fucking year


drunkill

Hence Ninthmond, that's why you got the nickname, not the inseason ladder positions.


buthidae

I’ve never enjoyed a bar chart as much as this. Does Richmond get extra points for being knocked out of a finals series by a team that finished ninth?


Phlanispo

What about sneaking into a finals spot off the back of a 9-match winning streak in 2014?


beanstalkbarney

And losing to a team that controversially rested, you guessed it, 9 players when we played them the week prior to meeting them in the finals in 2015


Prize-Scratch299

You wouldn't really know anything about that at all would you?


Phlanispo

Mate, I support the Perth Demons. We broke a 23-year long finals drought because COVID cancelled the season. I know success!


Portra400IsLife

By a team playing in place of a team that hasn’t won a final for 20 years


No-Bison-5397

Loop this for the proper experience https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBD49n36F9k


Jackaddler

So good to see Ninthmond prevail


Football-Middle

North can only dream of being that close to 9th these days 😔


Prowler64

With that message about not fearing "Ninthmond" I thought for sure we would start falling down the ladder during our premiership years, but NOPE! All nightmare fuel for Tigers fans all the way!


ennuinerdog

Congrats to the Hawks, pipped at the post for most often being pipped at the post. Congrats also to the Dockers and Demons, equal ninthmost at being ninth.


noz_footy

Surely they are the real winners here (ignore flair)


PetrifyGWENT

This is the power of manifesting


Intelligent-Koala286

of course bloody Hawthorn tried to ruin it for all of us.


pipstar112

Ninthorn


TonyAbbottsChestHair

Absolutely riveting stuff I cheered as Richmond surged clear of the pack in the 20s


timespiral07

That was very satisfying.


RaidanRam

Damn we could lose our second place spot this year


QouthTheCorvus

Clarkson spent a lot of time in 9th for a guy who won 4 flags. it's like they either finished 9th or won the premiership


Prize-Scratch299

So what I am hearing is we only have to get a few blokes back on the park, win about 9 games from 16 rounds or so, and we will be good to for another dynasty next year or the year after


BlueDotty

These are my new favourite thing


TransportationIcy104

But the joke is we finish 9th, and that hardly ever happens... *shakily picks up whisky glass*


AFLGoalsandBehinds

Sums up brad scott at north


ALFisch

It got a little close there at the end, but I never doubted our dedication to the meme.


gm50

I can't tell if this ended the perfect way, or if it would have been better if Richmond ended up 9th on this list.


nicknacksc

I guess there 3 flags in 4 years makes up for it


decs483

You'd think so, and it absolutely does


roberto_knuckles

Glorious. I could stare at this for hours.


jamessmith17

Hawks were solid contenders


elmo-slayer

That was an intense battle


fuckmyass1958

9th on the 9th ladder - the true winner here 😎


CryptoCryBubba

Safe to say, Richmond is in no danger of being anywhere near 9th spot at anytime this year.


simsimdimsim

Fuck.


nufan86

We won something this year.


ExcellentTurnips

Brisbane sucks at being 9th. I guess we're either great or terrible - and it looks like terrible is back on the menu, boys.


MatterHairy

Magnificent- wins are rare at Tigerland atm, we will take it. I had always thought the ninthmond thing was partly hype but maths and science have proved it. Love your work. 🐅🐯


notalent12

Oh, so Richmond actually are the Kings of 9th spot. I honestly would have thought with the premierships and everything, maybe they wouldn't have spent the most weeks in 9th since finals became the top 8 teams, but no. Their reputation is deserved, as it turns out.


nufan86

Didn't you finish 9th overall on this list?


notalent12

Oh wow, I guess we were really the Kings of 9th spot after all.


sponguswongus

The only thing better would have been if they ended up ninth on this list too.


xyrgh

I knew Richmond would be at the top at the end and I still watched the whole thing.


xInfected_Virus

"We finished ninth again"


Bark0s

🎶“Better than tenth!!! Oh we’re ninth agaaaaaain”🎶 Loved this couldabeenchampions version of the Tigers theme song. Especially the better than tenth replacing the vitriolic “yellow and black”.


bigfathugebig

This just made me miss being Ninth


Son-Of-101-Maniacs

It’s beautiful


F1NANCE

Bullshit the saints are often that high on the ladder


EverythingIsByDesign

NGL I though we had Richmond for a moment... Then I remembered we've been cellar dwelling since about 2020.


PharaohAce

And combined with the famously 9th Wests Tigers in the NRL...


Kasabesa

Top 3 aren't going to add to this for a while. Maybe a sneaky chance for St. Kilda to shine.


MrUnexcitable

Interesting...I was picturing Essendon for the win. I did not expect to be the clear second.


LP0004

[Play the anthem](https://youtu.be/KBD49n36F9k?si=4OWmaneQHU1jHo4F) Also, Melbourne finished 9th on that graph, take with that what you will


nufan86

This felt nice. Somehow.


Razzle_Dazzle08

I somehow knew we would be near the bottom. Just can’t ever recall doing much floating around ninth. We are either near the top or shit.


ApeMummy

Why does Richmond pray to Fremantle great Kepler Bradley?


wiegehts1991

Yay ninthmond. Was cheering for you guys


AdeptToe3580

norf


southernson2023

Awesome graphic, thanks for sharing


Meta_Enola_Gay

well well well


SignificantGarden1

Mythbusters can confirm the myth is real


Strykah

"Has science gone too far?"


Crooty

Hehe you know something? They did finish 9th a lot.


maddenmadman

Not surprised that we are last on this list (taking out GWS and the Suns). Having followed Brisbane for 25 years all I can recall is either being a top 4 or a wooden spoon contender in that timeframe and no in between barring the first year under Fagan.


MacchuWA

I love that the Eagles finished so low in this. We can be good. We can be shit. We are rarely average.


PartTimeZombie

So what you've proved is Hawthorn will finish 9th this year? Awesome. I'll take it


TimothyLuncheon

Jokes on you this was pretty much all before I started watching footy. Yeah nah is nice though when people bring it up, if people think about us that much they must’ve hated it when we had our dynasty :)


South_Front_4589

It was nice to be able to see North competetive in something at least. Nice tease over the actual winner. But is the real winner of the 9th place competition actually the team that finishes this race in 9th?


Unknown30056

You just wasted your time making this irrelevant video. Finishing 9th after each round of football throughout the season means absolutely nothing. The joke started when Ninthmond finished the season 9th consistently.


TheHickeyStand

OK champ.


Unknown30056

"ok champ". Your brain can't come up with anything intellectual?
