Game Day Thread - Tigers V Eagles

[DragaTheCro]

Fox Footy said after the game it was Richmond’s biggest win in 47 years. So that’s 1975.

I thought we had some really big wins in our 1980 flag year so had a look. We won no less than 4 games by greater than tonight’s margin. Including a 152 point win against Saints.

So 42 years. A bit of research wouldn’t go astray.

We also beat St. Kilda by 113 points in 1985.

Our highest score since Round 5 1989 v Norf. Wow!

It was a big day. Richard Lounder Kicked 4 on debut

Our highest score since Round 5 1989 v Norf. Wow!

Didn't we smash Freo late in 2017?

Yep. Our last 100 point win. 104 pts R22 at Subiaco

 

[Mopsy]

Lol, I backed the Tigers at -9.5 earlier in the week.

Oh stoopid bookmakers, how I love thee.

 

[Ridley]

In losing the 1972 Granny ? ..... cried my eye's out that day as a 12 year old, thought my life was over .....

Check out the 1980 season Jack. Reckon we kicked above 150 at least 6 times.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

They have no idea really.

151 points over Fitzroy in 1996. Just looked it up

Feast your eyes on these scores

Tigers back in the 8 ……. didn‘t see that coming

What a night.

We also beat St. Kilda by 113 points in 1985.

Maybe they meant 37 years?

 

[blueoval]

Anyone know the free kick count for tonight?

 

[Streak]

How was the League playing their last game as Fitzroy in Perth and not in Melb

Incredible wasn’t it.

Credit to Freo though. The club did a magic job farewelling the Lions. So emotional.

They had a lady sing Auld Lang Syne before the game and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

 

[caesar]

I think he's fine.

Yep, not the first time we've manipulated the sub rule

Do they make it up?View attachment 15246

Actually the wording isn't correct. We won by 110 v Foots in 1980 and then the next biggest was 107 against South in 1975 which is that 47 years mentioned.

 

[Bernie]

Was there that day.

Didn’t the great Doug Hawkins play in that game at the G? Going by memory.



Yes, despite being a club legend, Doug was kibboshed by the Dogs and played one season, being his last, with Fitzroy.

So 47 years? No hang on 40 years. Wait 37 years. Oops actually it’s 26 years!!

How do some people get these jobs? That’s terrible research.

Anyone know the free kick count for tonight?

23-20 to us

 

[tigermike]

Those O.O. lights are fantastic for footy, much brighter and a very even light across the ground. Much better contested marking tonight by the Tiges due to poorer opposition and also perhaps the better lighting making it easier to judge the ball flight.

Look out, the Pies have a game in hand against us.

Let’s see where we are on Sunday but look forward to beating them in Round 8 next week. That will be a cause for celebration!!!

 

[Willo]

Anyone know the free kick count for tonight?

Frees for:
Richmond 23
WC 20

 

[Ridley]

...and you get fair, balanced umpiring

No noise of affirmation tonight. Fair weather Eagles supporters. Did the crowd even reach 30000?
