I'm not selling Richmond short, but I don't think that they're in the same class as the great Hawthorn, Geelong and Brisbane sides of the past two decades.
It all comes down to recruiting, if you can get all of your ducks in a row on that score the sky's the limit.
At this point, you're probably right re the bolded bit, but they're still very very good, and if we can emulate them I for one will be stoked.
Their list has seen minimal changes compared to us over the last few years, and this, combined with minimal injuries, is IMO exactly what Bolton talks about when he refers to building synergy. And if that's what building synergy looks like, then I like it. I like a whole lot.
