Kerang Train Crash takes life of former Richmond Under 19's player
The Kerang Train crash on June 5th sadly took the life of 11 people, including Mr Graeme McMonnies.
Mr McMonnies represented the Richmond Football Club in the Under 19’s in the 1976 season.
In particular, he was voted amongst the six best players for the Round 4 1976 match against Collingwood, which Richmond won 25.18.168 to 21.14.140.
The following week, he was again voted in the six best players in Richmond’s Round 5 loss to Footscray.
In Round 8 1976 he is recorded as kicking his first goal for the season in Richmond’s 43 pts win over Melbourne.
His passing at the age of 50 years old, is a sad chapter in the history of Richmond’s Under 19’s competition.
Our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

MONDAY 7 MAY 2007
Richmond Director of Football Greg Miller writes a letter of apology to Richmond Members
I offer my heartfelt apologies to each and every Richmond Member. I understand the pain and disappointment that you all feel. I know what football means to you all and the pride you have in your Club. We have tested your loyalty and commitment many times over the years and thankfully you have trusted and believed in the current administration, bestowed with the honor of guiding your Club.
Yesterday’s result will test your belief and trust. I can only reiterate what I have said before, the process for sustained success is in place. A stable, strong, strategic Board led by a man who really cares – Gary March. A very capable Senior Administration, who under Steven Wright has turned around the Club’s financial position. A Match Committee of hard working and creative people, with strong values, led by Terry Wallace. It is clear that Terry, more than anyone, has bought the Richmond family back together.
Don’t measure the playing group on yesterday’s performance alone. Senior players are either injured (Coughlan, Brown, Simmonds) or not in career best form. Leadership/experience is a very important ingredient you rely on when you bring a younger group together. Yes, we have moved on a few experienced players and may suffer short-term consequences; however our sights are clearly set on the next Tiger Premiership.
I believe in our youth. The camaraderie, talent and attitude of the players at our Club is outstanding. They will excite you at times and disappoint you at others. We will sort out who will go on the journey with us and ensure we get games under the belt of those that will take the Club forwards.
Many will say we’ve heard it before but if you love Richmond, you will take a deep breath and trust that the foundations are solid, and in place.
We will not be responding to the media hysteria, and will adhere to our policies and direction. We’ll learn from the weekend and trust the performance will never be repeated.

I think alot of the times with the holding the ball rules they were inconsistent.
I think alot of tackles we put on and they were dropping the ball but they just let it go, but when we did it they called holding ball.
It just wasn't right. I think you got to have a good look at it and hopefully they get it right next week. I just hope they do get it right because it cause alot of frustration amongst the players out on the ground.'
