Was watching the Skunks v Cheats game on Foxtel when the add came up for the historic rivalry games on show for Tuesday night.
1970 GF Carlton v Collingwood
1984 GF Hawthorn v Essendon
Rd17 2001 W Bulldogs v Richmond.
For those that care or have Foxtel vote for the Tigs game. It could be the only Tiger win we see on TV all year.
-
What time is our game on, on will tape it
-
You need to vote on the Foxtel website and the game with the most votes will be shown on Tuesday night at 8:30.
-
Our rd 17 game in 2001 against the Doggies on now on Fox Sports 1.

The best post-95 game Richmond has played. A rare match where we were able to absorb and match it in such a high intensity game with everything on the line for both sides. We didn't overly rely on Richo either as he had a shocker in the first 3 quarters before coming alive in the last with a couple of goals.
I can still hear the doggie fans ringing up post-game and whinging non-stop about Browny not getting a free :lol.

Agree
Was also the game where I lost a lot of respect for a "gun" Tiger player of the time.
One moment that's etched in my mind
Final quarter and said player pulls out of a contest... I was disgusted then and still am today - could have cost us the game

Remember the incident lucidly as well and thankfully we still won. Poor effort by him although I had lost respect for this player well before this incident. Could not convince me otherwise even today on his achievements. Real poor substandard half hearted effort.

Was it J.B
-
yes matt and i think they just played it a few minutes ago. Last quarter
weak it was but you cant tell me there are current day players at the RFC doing the exact same thing.
You bet there are more of those efforts going on week after week after week.

Was it J.B

Thats the sort of bloke you want by your side in a scrap :thumbsup

That's pathetic ain't it.

I missed it and can't remember the incident, what did Joel do? Or didn't do?
He never recovered from his collar bone incident scars from the 90s. Amazing what tricks the mind can play
-
Joel wasn't the same player after those collarbone breaks early in his career. Before the breaks he was both an inside and outside player. IMO the injuries affected him mentally for the next say 8 years until Wallace pushed him to FB on the big key forwards like Jonathon Brown and Tredrea.
ottens was a huge loss
If Otto played every year as he did in 2001 then no one would have wanted him to go. The problem was his next 3 years were ordinary (falling on a stake in his garden didn't help) and he wanted out anyway. His first two years at Geelong were nothing to write home about which lead to Bomber Thompson's "leave him alone all of you" lol press conference. If we had held onto him for those two further years we would've been bagged by the media for not trading him when we had the chance. In the end the trade was right. We just stuffed up the picks we gained from that trade at the draft.

To quote Grant Thomas .....he dogged it.
I have never been a Joel basher but it was pretty ordinary.

Even just 9 years ago the game was very different to now. No free press zoning or flooding and we had 198 kicks to just 117 handballs. Plus for such a tough game we had "just" 48 tackles which was very high for then. Even with our young side today we are getting into the 60s under Hardwick. Footy has gone through a massive change in the past 10 years with strategy overkill.
That 2001 side's average age was 25 and average over 100 games per player. We had five 200+ gamers and another five over 100 with only 4 players under 50 games - Hilton on 47 and then a young Cogs, Petts and Fiora. Experience and a solid senior core in good form matters.
