For what was is ultimately an historical moment for the club in its history- it was great to see two particular organisations capture the moment for posterity.
Firstly, Mr James Buchanan - a freelance photographer and multimedia expert snapped approximately 120 shots from that day. And can be located at JBPROPHOTO
A Richmond supporter, his decisions to document the majority of the players on film, allows everyone to understand the scope and magnitude of the day.
Secondly, Slattery Media - official photographers of the AFL, have an extensive collection from the day and the press conference at GSP IMAGES
If you have taken any photographs this week, you are welcome to send them to RFC Photos and I will post your photo up (with your credit of course) for all to see.

NAB Draft in a nutshell
Richmond select 3 players in the 2008 NAB AFL Draft.
Pick 8: Tyrone Vickery from Sandringham Dragons
Pick 26: Jaydyn Post from Western Jets.
Pick 58: Tom Hislop from Essendon FC
Pick 70: Pass
------------------------
It is worth nothing that if Vickery does end up playing League Football , he will become only the 5th Richmond player whose surname begins with a 'V', out of 1,077 Richmond players.
(George Valentine 1924-1926, Stan Vandersluys 1953, Royce Vardy 2000-2003, Daryl Vernon 1981, 1985)
We have had a HISLOP play with us before, Gordon Hislop (1923-1924) and Max Hislop (1917-24, 1927).

Vale Mr Max Oppy
Max Oppy, one of the club's great rovers, has passed away at the age of 84.
He was one of the last remaining 1943 Richmond Premiership players.
Oppy was born Wiliam Max, grew up in Maryborough and barracked for Essendon.
The great Dick Reynolds was his cousin. In the 1943 Grand Final- Oppy was only 18 years ago, and given the job of tagging the Essendon champion.
If I was given a job to do I would do it to the best of my ability. They talk about taggers or whatever today, virtually that was my job for the day. Didn’t matter where he went on the field, whether he went off the ball, I went to the back pocket. Didn’t matter where dick Reynolds went , it was to keep him out of the play, because at that time he was the match winning rover and probably the best rover of the league at that time. That was the job , to blanket him and keep him out of the game.
Dick got about 6 stitches in his eyes but that was alright, he snuck into my fist. - interview with Rhett Bartlett in Aug 2004.
Richmond won that day, and Oppy was applauded by spectators and the media for his role.
The following year, the Tigers lost the 1944 Grand Final to Fitzroy.
Oppy played 185 games for Richmond, became a Life Member, and was inducted into the Richmond Hall of Fame, on the same night his life long friend, Des Rowe, was inducted. That had met each other when they were 15 years old, when Oppy's Richmond locker was next to his.
His last game of football was Rd 18 1954 vs Collingwood- he was chaired off the ground, and later admitted that it bought him to tears.
He also captained Richmond twice, both times when Des Rowe was unavailable. Coincidentally, both times were against Collingwood, and both times Richmond won.
'My record as captain is the best at Richmond, tell you now' - he told me. He is right- 100% strike rate.
He also coached the club in 1956, replacing Alby Pannam. Oppy coached for just that one year, winning 6 of the 18 games.
As a coach I think Ill forget about it. I always say I am one of the sacked coaches. As Jack Dyer said there’s only two types of coaches, the sacked ones and the ones that are going to get sacked.
In later life, he excelled at golf, winning a club chapmionship, and representated Australia at a Sportsman Event in England, the day after the British Open.
When I met him for our interview 4 years ago, he was living in Sorrento, in a small house , by himself.
He had scrapbooks on the table, easily recalled his first game of football, and was unfazed by a heart attack he had suffered earlier in the year.
After our interview he led me outside to my car, across the road was an old cemetery, no more than 30 metres from his house.
'Look on the bright side Rhett', he said ' when I die, I don't have far to go'
RIP Mr Oppy.

Belated Condolences
I have only recently received notification of the passing of several Richmond footballers during the 2008 season.
So I feel it necessary to list them here with a short bio
1. Mr Frank Hughes Jnr
Frank, was the son of Richmond 1932 Premiership Coach 'Checker' Hughes.
I was lucky enough to meet Frank Hughes in 2003, whereby our interview formed the entire basis of the 'Checker' Hughes chapter in my book RICHMOND FC: A Century of League Football.
You can read Frank's story from page 58- 61
He had a great understanding of the key role his father played in Richmond's history, and Frank himself, played for Richmond in 1944 for 3 games (and later Melbourne 1945 8 games).
Frank accepted his the award for his father's induction into the Richmond Hall of Fame.
He passed away 1 April 2008 at the age of 86 years old.
2. Mr Peter Sherman
Peter died on July 30th 2008 at the age of 83 years.
I interviewed Peter on 27 October 2001 at his home in the Sth East Suburbs.
Of the interview, only 1 paragraph made it into my Richmond publication- page 74, Peter's wonderful description of the physical specimen Dyer was, once stripped in the dressing rooms.
Peter played for Richmond in 1947 for only 2 games. However was a member of Richmond's 1946 Reserves Premiership.
I recall he had wonderful knowledge regarding the Australian Navy, and its role during World War 2.
On a side note, he is the only person I have interviewed, who bought along his own tape recorder for the interview.
His suggestions on how to prepare for an interview (based on his history when creating an oral history of the Navy), is something I am grateful to have learnt.

Former Richmond VFA player blogging!
Imagine , if 100 years ago, we had a former player in the heart of Richmond, who could tell us all that is happening in the great place of Tigerland.
Well wish no more- a tongue in cheek look, as the mighty Jack Hutchison (Richmond VFA goalkicking machine and premiership player) has agreed to keep us all in touch with the latest Richmond news from 1908-1909. (yes cash did exchange hands)
Everyday check his latest entry out at: http://twitter.com/tigerland

KB Toyota Ad Little Known Fact 3
The recreation of the Stan Magro goal from 1980- resulted in Stphen Curry wearing a Magro wig.
KB was unaware that Curry had put the wig on , until he saw the ad on tv one month later.
KB Toyota Ad Little Known Fact 2
Little Known Fact 2- the first few hours of the shoot , KB was wearing dark runners, This resulted in him straining both hamstrings, and as a result a pair of old footy boots were located, and the manufacturers logo was 'taped over'.
KB Toyota Ad Little Known Fact 1.
Some snapshots from the Toyota Ad (courtesy of my EyeTV on my IMAC)
Little known Fact #1- KB's reaction to Dave Lawson shaving off his hair- is authentic. KB was unaware of what Dave was doing until the cameras rolled. At first KB thought the hair was a wig.

John Ritchie
I noticed in the Herald Sun Death Notices, during this week, the passing of former Richmond player Mr John Ritchie.
Mr Ritchie played from 1951- 1955, for 40 games and 2 goals. He wore numbers 35 and 30 during his career.
As a half back flanker,he started his career with Richmond for the Thirds in 1949.
By 1951, he was playing in the senior team -his debut, Round 4 1951 against Hawthorn; the Tigers won.
He played during one of Richmond's least successful eras on the field. Of the 40 games - only 19 were victories.
In 1955, he was a member of the Reserves Premiership side , which defeated Footscray by 30 points
In 1956, he was appointed captain of the Reserves - with the 'Cubs' making the Preliminary Final , before losing to South Melbourne by 21 points. The Cubs would not make the finals for another 8 years. That same year he tied for the Reserves Best and Fairest with Charlie Flannagan.
A Reserves Premiership player, Captain and Best and Fairest - our condolences to his family and friends.

Richmond History- SOS - Can you help ?
In this, the centenary year of the Richmond Football Club in the AFL - it is an opportune time to send out an SOS, to supporters, history buffs, casual observers - regarding a two points around Richmond and its history.
Can you assist below ?
FOOTBALL RECORDS.
The AFL Record has been in existence since 1912.
That means there is approximately 1,950 Richmond Football Club records produced.
Most Richmond records from 1960- Present Day are in collectors hands, Richmond Museum, Ebay etc etc ,
but it is the Richmond records from 1912 - 1959 that are more difficult to locate.
So this SOS request is simple. If you have any Richmond records covering 1912 - 1959; and would be comfort to advise me, I hope to maintain a list of what records pre 1960 are in existence. There is no intention to purchase the records from you, and you can remain anonymous, I would just like to attempt to identify how many of the pre 1960 Richmond records are in existence.
So feel free to drop an email to:
Rhett Bartlett
RICHMOND GAMES
My next book project I am attempting to work on, is a detailed list of the following; every:
+ Senior Richmond match
+ Reserves Richmond match
+ Under 19's Richmond Match
+ Little League Richmond match
+ Unique matches involving RFC (ie: Appeals / Practice Matches / Post Season Matches / Pre Season Matches)
- for each of these points, I am attempting to documents the score, goalkickers, players for the teams, and unique tidbits that accompany the game.
- all score details of Senior Richmond matches exist, so do their related teams , goalkickers etc.
- if anyone is able to provide any information of score, teams, players, goalkickers for the Reserves/Under 19's/ Little League/ Unique Matches (listed above) please email me below.
Even the smallest piece of information is appreciated- as you never know, you might be the only person to discover it, or be aware of it. So think back to matches you saw growing up, or newspaper cuttings you might have- see what you can find.
- as well, I am looking for any interesting tidbits from any matches in Richmond history. These tidbits can range from , Richmond players acting as runners, unique umpiring decisions, unique moments on the field, changing in guernsey numbers, goalkicking feats (ie: 6 goals in a quarter), 'firsts' in Richmond matches, 'lasts' in Richmond matches. Any notes of interest about any matches would be much appreciated.
These can be emailed to me at :
Rhett Bartlett

RFC 1908 -1919 - Doco by Rhett Bartlett
Below is a video I have created, edited and narrated using my MacBook computer.

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.

Wallace post match comments Rd 4
'From my point of view, I know a lot of people felt it was going to be a difficult journey. We believed we had the run'
(On Richardson playing on the wing)
'We've got to find out if Polak, Riewoldt, Hughes can step up to be the next generation of key forwards. I asked Richo to give up a bit of his own game. It helped us looking at the our forward line future'
'We will do what we need to do and see what worked. Truly I think if we are going to be a side, we have to develop other players around Matthew. I think for development of the club we need to look elsewhere'
(On some key players)
' I thought Kane Johnson was absolutely outstanding. He has played terrific all year. He has stepped up. I thought McMahon was outstanding player all day, really helped us with link up play'
'(Tambling) is going to be a nice player. He is four games into a mid field career. We have played him around the edged to get games around him. He has shown now he can match it with the players in the middle'
- courtesy of rhettrospective.com
**Not that with Richmond's win- they are 8th on the ladder.

Tom Hafey and Kevin Bartlett respond to the criticism of Punt Road
- By Rhett Bartlett
Exclusive to www.rhettrospective.com
Tom Hafey's style of football was always direct. So much so, that it won him 4 Premierships across 7 years as coach for Richmond.
And his response to the claims by Andrew Dememtriou in The Age to Caroline Wilson that Punt Road was 'a crap ground to train on. It's just a bad ground and it's the wrong size.' was almost as direct.
'That's a ridiculous statement. I think that is wrong, I don't think it is crap' Hafey said when contacted by www.rhettrospective.com this afternoon.
'They talk this way because they play on perfect grounds- yet the number of players that continue to slip on perfect ground is amazing'
'(Punt Road) is a long way better that alot of other teams have to deal with. The ground still is perfect as a training facility.
Tommy should know, for many years he has travelled the breadth of Australia, coaching junior clubs and guest speaking at little known towns. 'How would they (footballers) go playing in Queenstown- it's just gravel!' 'Remember that Docklands was rubbished initially too! and most recently Collingwood and Brisbane played in mud and rain at the Gabba. It won't always be perfect weather and grounds wont always be perfect- regardless if it is in Western Australia or Sydney'
When pressed further regarding suggestions that the ground size, may be consider a reasoning behind Richmond's lack of success- Hafey was adamant 'It has got nothing to do with it!' - citing instead an imbalance in the handballing and kicking stats of the Tigers on the weekend.
In no way, Hafey suggested, does the condition of the Punt Road ground directly relate to the Tigers performance on match day.
And 5 time Premiership player Kevin Bartlett feels the same, 'We never trained at the MCG, we trained at Punt Road, and in my opinion it never affected the Richmond style of play. It never ever impeded the Richmond style of play- and we were the longest kicking, fast kicking ball side in the competition and we trained at Punt Road.
He points out that other teams around his time of playing and coach, played on smaller grounds:
Go down and have a look at Hawthorn's old ground at Glenferrie Oval- it is the smallest ground in the world and they won premierships galore!
Suggesting that Richmond's lack of success lately is due to the state of the Punt Road Ground is something Bartlett disagrees with: 'It certainly wouldn't be an excuse! Training at Punt Road wont stop you from winning a premiership.'
And although the glorious ancient ground herself is unable to defend these Demetriou comments- there are still some Immortals who are more than happy to.

David King Rd 3 Post Match Comments
as interviewed on 3AW.
transcribed www.rhettrospective.com
'we gave Collingwood too much at the start. You can't give good sides 7 of the first 8 scoring shots and expect to be in the game. You got to know when the right time to kick and when your out in space and able to execute them and that's something our players are getting wrong. We've made adjustments to the way we wanted to play from last year and sure that involves an element of handball but we've got the balance wrong at the moment- i think we have 170 odd kicks and over 200 handballs.
Even in saying that, we still shouldn't have made errors by foot that we did.
I think alot of the backline boys are coming along quite nicely , I think people would credit Will Thursfield to have improved, I think they would have seen that in Jake King , although he hasn't a great last fortnight, he has certainly improved. I think Kel Moore has become a player, Jay Schulz was good again today, he's had an up and down career but he's improving.
Teams that are winning , individual form doesn't come into it. If your disciplined enough to stick to the team plans then individual form doesn't come into it.
You recruit good kickers, you either have got that skill or haven't . It's a waste of time trying to get players who can't kick, back to square one and start again because the man hours involved in that is not available to AFL players at the moment.
I just thought today, we talked about stepping back inside , and cutting and taking players on- not once were we brave enough to take people on, we were too straight minded earlier today and it made us pay.'

Terry Wallace Post Match Comments for Round 2 vs Nth Melbourne
'The one thing I would like to say to our supporter base is just the fact last year we lost games and had a pretty ordinary season and at times we couldn't do anything about it , we just didn't have the blokes up and running and we had to go with the same blokes who let us down week in week out.
I just want to let our supporter base know that we are fully fit and healthy , we've got blokes running around at Coburg- our side won by over 10 goals yesterday against the reigning Premiers.
Blokes who don't respect their position in the side , therfore don't respect the guernsey, won't play.
Therefore we are in a position where we can do that and we will make changes to the side til we have the right blokes in there who want to compete, so I think that supporters shouldn't walk away thinking they are going to get the same old same old, because we will throw it around and give the young blokes an opportunity until we get the right blokes in there who want to compete.
'Collingwood have a longer break this week, so we have to come off a 7 , versus a 9 day break this week. We like it to be a 6 day break ourselves so we can get back there straight-away.
'We were getting beaten at ground level. Clearly our boys in the midfield are extremley disappointed with their efforts, they know that , they understand that and they don't accept that but they were clearly beaten around that area and it just put pressure on every area of that game from that stage onwards. We were really smashed in that part of the game today.
We started Andrew Raines on Corey Jones at the start of the game and wanted Rainesy to do the job and he got beaten in the first few contests and then we went to Jake King as our secondary option, we had sort of set Raines for that job all week, and it didn't work, so you have got to make changes. Jake has been able to play on taller players, he played as a Coburg player at Centre Half Back most of the time, so he has always been able to play on blokes a little bit taller than him. Corey was in fantastic form, I think he was trying to get two weeks out of one after missing last week, and credit to him I thought he played tremendously.
We think Raines dislocated his knee cap but it certainly went back in. It's just a matter of how that sort of settles down over the next few days. We will have to wait til tomorrow to find out where he is at.'

Vale Clinton Grybas
Respected media commentator CLINTON GRYBAS died today at his home in Melbourne.
Clinton was the main sports reporter on 3AW, and had hosted White Line Fever on the FOX Footy Channel on FOXTEL.
He also commentated the football for the 2007 Season on both 3AW and Fox Sports.
On a personal note, I had met Clinton several times during my father's time on the FOX Footy Channel. I found him to be the most considerate, sincere and genuine person you could meet. A true comet of broadcast has died.
Clinton was 32 years old. Only 32.
