Here are the top five contenders for the 2020 Premiership: Richmond has won three premierships in four years and will try to seal their place in AFL history as one of the greatest teams of all time by winning a third in a row in 2021. They currently lead the competition and have shown no signs of slowing down since their elimination from the 2019 finals series. The Tigers had an even better season last year, finishing with 10 wins from its last 12 games, including a qualifying final victory over Carlton. The only team to beat them during that run was Brisbane, which makes sense given they played each other twice. Tom Boyd is a worthy captain-elect after another stellar season, while Bryce Dalton could be a star midfielder in future years. Richmond's great era might come to an end in 2022 when several key players will be entering contract periods, but until then they're still the team to beat. The Blues had another strong season in 2019, finishing with eight wins from its last 10 games, including a preliminary final loss to Richmond. While it wasn't enough to make the playoffs, it's important to note Richmond also lost several big names from last year's side, so Chris Yarran and company should be able to repeat some of its success this year.
