Yep, Bruce Tempany was a massively underrated player who had a career crueled by injury.

Monteath was one of my favorite players. Ran low to the ground, was hard ,and had a penetrating kick. He actually played in a forward pocket all year because of an ankle injury. He was typically our starting ruck rover.
He had a very good season considering he was on one leg all year.
We surprised Carlton in the second semi with our physicality (was a record number of 15 metre penalties given away to slow them down from memory). We may have shown our hand too early. Their smalls were brilliant (as were ours) but the knocks on us were we were slow, particularly in the backline...Martello, Strachan and Dunne couldn't run out of sight on a dark night.
Nonetheless we were only a goal down well into the last qtr before a terrible Graeme Landy error across half back gifted them a goal and the momentum.
One of the worst days of my life.

In 1990 in the 'Save Our Skins' campaign i bought a 10 year membership, 2 signed "Save The Tigers" Certificates one from Flea & Neville Crowe and one from Royce Hart & Neville and a jar of Punt Road Oval dirt, (or was it MCG dirt)
, a bit pathetic ain't it?
Anyway good to be able to say, "I was there when we were DOWN"

I was 16 at the time and I remember going to a game during the Save our skins armed with about $75 which was all the savings I had as a reasonably young guy, pretty easy to give (was a lot for me back then) that means so much... haven't thought about that in ages until your post.
Bloody hell! Does that mean we've finally learned how to copy Carlscum's game plan after all these years?

I bought some dirt also, Caesar
The rally at the G that day was something to be behold from a range of perspectives.
I was there that day. Was expecting to be singing the song at the end of the grand final.
It was a gut-wrenching experience seeing the Tigers go down that day.
By the way, i am already a believer that Richmond can go B2B or maybe even B3B in 2020 and 2021
But I ain't getting ahead of myself or anything.

First Tigers event I took my daughter too. Then had the joy of copping a leaky radiator hose while trying to shuffle out of the car park. Had to walk back half a lap of the G with a little tacker in tow n scrounge a four litre tomato sauce bottle off the caterers then wash out the dregs so I could then walk all the way back n top up so I could get home. Not the best afternoon I can recall, but worth all the trouble eventually.
I always find reminiscences of 1972 and 1982 on this forum interesting.
One thing Richmond has always done well in the "modern era" is Grand Finals. We are now 7-2 and in both of the two we were favourites.
Over the long term history, obviously you can expect no better than 50-50, indeed that's what we are - sitting on 12-12.
There are a few outrageous exceptions, Collingwood 15-27, Hawthorn 13-6 (quite amazing when you consider they lost three from 1984-1987) and Melbourne 12-5, not to mention the Swans on 5-12 and St Kilda on 1-6.
Maybe we dodged Grand Final losses in 1971, 1975 and 2018 by messing up a Prelim, but on the whole, we should be prepared for the odd Grand Final loss in the coming years, which is going to hurt.

I reckon you blokes who bought punt road dirt should pot it up and stick some sunflowers seeds in
If youre really into ritual and ceremony, someone would surely have souvenir some of the chook *smile* dumped outside Punt Road in '01.
Give them a little feed and savour the bloom.
from a withered tree, a blossom.
Im pretty sure a bhuddist monastery watched every Richmond game through the 80's, 90,s and 00's
and came up with glib fridge magnets to sell to tourists.

Its not deep down any more, his statements after their finals loss showed he's faking it.
For those who missed out on the chicken poo, don’t dispair.
There’s plenty of fertiliser available on this site. Some reputations have blossomed magnificently due to the high quality *smile* they’ve wallowed in.
All this talk about the most recent dynasty backlines has got me thinking about how they line-up and this was the best I could come up with -

Hawthorn
