Yellow & Black: A season with Richmond By Konrad Marshall
At the start of the 2016 AFL season, Konrad Marshall, a senior journalist with Fairfax Media, began an assignment that would end up covering the emotional journey on which the Richmond Football Club would plummet to the depths and, against all likelihood, soar to great heights. Marshall was given unprecedented access by the Tigers, allowing him to describe the inner workings of a professional sporting club, no matter what the outcome. Who could imagine that this journey would start with losses mounting on losses, calls for the sacking of the coach and the Board, and a season in which the club would win just eight matches, culminating in a 113-point thrashing in the fi nal round? And who could imagine all that heartache would be put aside the following season, as the Tigers took all before them to win the 2017 Premiership? Richmond CEO Brendon Gale called season 2016 “an aberration”, and how right he was. Konrad Marshall’s narrative explains, in fi ne detail, how Richmond turned it around: how it all started with the changed approach of its coach, Damien Hardwick, and captain, Trent Cotchin. How the crucial input of new appointments at all levels of the club—from new heads in the football department to those whose role was to get inside the heads of the players—added to the steely resolve of the President, Peggy O’Neal and the CEO, Brendon Gale. As with all stories of success, there was no magic potion. Richmond in 2017 was a club united, a club that had created a new connection throughout, and a team that played with abandon while
THE AUTHOR Konrad Marshall has been a faithful follower of the Richmond Football Club his entire life, which was, until lately, a sad and fallow era for the club. In early 2016, he joined the Tigers with the intention of writing a book about daily life inside a big Victorian football club, exploring and explaining its rhythms and quirks. He could never have dreamed what would unfold over the pair of dramatic seasons that followed. A journalist for 15 years, Marshall has spent half his career writing for newspapers in the United States, and the latter part at home as a senior writer with Fairfax Media. He has won numerous awards for his sports journalism, his arts writing, and in-depth reporting. He currently writes longform features for Good Weekend magazine.
