100 Tiger Treasures

As Richmond supporters may know, the Richmond Football Club, in celebration of 100 years of the club in the VFL-AFL are launching a wonderful '100 Tiger Treasures' event.
The event includes the chance for supporters to check out some of the great 'Tiger Treasures' and players at a Punt Road get to together in June- as well as a black tie function celebrating 100 years.

One interesting point is the release of 100 Tiger Treasure Moments- 10 categories, 10 moments, over the last 100 years.
The entire list can be located at www.richmondfc.com.au (so check out the link).
But an interesting talking point is- what Great Tigers moments are missing from the Tiger Treasure ? A quick look over the 10 categories and 10 moments brings up a few interesting omissions.

1. Fred Swifts' match saving mark in the 1967 Grand Final. With under 30 seconds to go, Swift marks on the goal line and clears from attack- saving any score from Geelong that potentially may have resulted in the Cat's winning. There is still dispute to this day that the ball was over the goal line when marked. Tom Hafey recalled in 'Richmond FC- The Tigers' to me, that every day he was coach of Geelong, someone would bring up the memory of the mark. Yet it does not make the final 10 marks.

2. Kevin Bartlett's sacking as Richmond coach and subsequent refusal to return to Richmond - is not in the top 10 Controversies of the Century. A stubborn refusal to return for 16 years, despite ongoing requests from club officials was , to many fans, one of the ongoing saga of football in the 1990's and 2000's.

3. Surely a defining moment of the Richmond Football CLub, would be the day Kevin Bartlett became the first football player ever to play 400 games. Only one man has achieved the feat since, and Bartlett's defining moment failed to make it into any of the categories.

So, is there any others from the list, that seem out of place- drop me an email with your thoughts rhettrospective@hotmail.com

RFC 1908 -1919 - Doco by Rhett Bartlett

Below is a video I have created, edited and narrated using my MacBook computer.
It runs briefly for 2mins 47 seconds and gives an overview of the era from 1908-1919 in Richmond's History.

It is by no means professional nor meant to be official.
The purpose of this is to test some ideas and scripting I had written- and potentially to create a full Richmond Documentary in the coming years. Other videos will hopefully be posted.
