We look at your club's best moment of 2013

RICHMOND
The enduring image of Richmond's season will be Chris Newman's celebration after the final siren in round 19. In the pouring rain at the MCG, the Tigers had knocked off premiership favourite Hawthorn, giving them 12 wins for the year and all but cementing their first finals appearance since 2001. For Newman, who hadn't played a final in his 231-game career to that point, it was a memorable moment as he clenched his fists and roared in celebration. The Tigers had led by 22 points in the first quarter but didn't kick a goal in the second. They then went on to kick 10 goals to three in the second half to win by 41 points. The win gave the Tigers – and Newman – belief they could knock off the best sides. "It was more relief coming off the game the week before and knowing it was a step closer," Newman said of his celebration. "I like to celebrate my victories when I get the opportunity because I obviously haven't had as many as I would have liked over the journey."

Post of the season. :clapping :clapping :clapping

Don't be suprised if we don't make finals, next year they'll be talking about how good it was for us to beat GWS in a crunch game.
What a bunch of stuffin' imposters! :banghead

i sense a sarcastic tone to your reply WP. That's fine your entitled to your opinion.
Your only as good as your last game and that was putrid from the RFC

Not disputing last Sunday was terrible.
But overall the the season gave us what we all wanted (if we are truly honest) and that was making the 8 and playing in September.
But considering where we were as a club 4 years ago to right now. I'd take right now. We've improved that cannot be disputed :thumbsup

And if Freo vs Port ends up being the Grand Final then we will have had the biggest Finals crowd as well.

I can honestly say WP that I'd rather anything other than what happened Sunday. It would've been better not to have made the finals. Sunday was the most humiliating day I've experienced as a Richmond member.
You'll probably disagree but maybe losing to the scum & the whole scenario of it hurts more than any game I've seen. Maybe its because I'm a wog and it adds more weight but there's no doubt in my mind that this was the worst loss that I can remember and we've all seen plenty in 30 years.
Sunday was the icing on the cake to the biggest joke in the AFL.
-
Best - beating the Hawks again!!!
Worst - letting Carlton* kick 29 goals after halftime in all 3 games this year to our 13!!!!!!! :banghead
-
The Chris Newman Image? - Get a grip.
Best moment was the airing of the 1980 Grand Final behind the scenes story on channel 9.
Worst moment- realising how comparatively soft this kids are.

Mr Tigra, if we hadn't made the finals this year, then this forum would have gone into meltdown because the vitriol form people would have been worse than anything dished up since Sunday. It's been clear all through this season that no finals was clearly unacceptable to the masses.
We made finals and yes we lost a game we should have won but after 12 years of not making finals I reckon we've taken the first step. If you can't see past Sundays result to recognise what's been achieved in 2013 then that's your choice.
But for me after getting past the disappointment I've realised that I'd rather be where we are now than where were 2, 3, 4 years ago
And BTW Sundays loss doesn't come close to the insipid, non-competitive, gutless, dishonest performance they dished up to against Carlton back in 2011 in the FTF game when we wre thrashed by 100 odd points. That's still the worse loss I've ever seen

sorry would have to disagree here.
in that game and in that year we were no good so didnt really come as a surprise.
the only game that comes close to being as humiliating is the benny cousins hamstring game.
forget about what you thought in round 1 or what we were like 4 years. I myself looked trim and terrific 4 years ago but that was then this is now
Facts are we lost to the same team for the second time in a month after hearing how we have "learnt from our mistakes" our win/loss record against them was mainly in the past. Give me a spell.
Take maric, rance, ellis, nick v, cotch, king we have no men left in this team next year. Rest are faggots if you want the truth.
maric and cotch go down in 14, we are royally screwed.,
GRIGG, Edwards, Lids, Houli, Jack. are they even men?? There DNA is made of estrogen if you ask me. Jack is not even half the player richo was.
When was the last time we did what carlton did to us in a big game on the big stage. 95 semi?
Is it better than not making it. Im not sure, i doubt it. That was as bad as it gets if you ask me in the last decade.
The only positive and its a slight positive of the year, is that because of that loss we will surely make finals
If thats not incentive to redeem yourselves as a footy club i dont know what is.
WP until we bring ruthelss never give up type of footy into our club we wont be doing much apart from the lower reaches of the 8 and just outside. We are as lethal said a club with no ticker on the big stage.

If anybody had asked me if I'd be happy to finish 5th on 15-7 I'd day yes.
Carlton game was deflating and I think spoiled what was a potentially massive step forward this season. If we'd lost to Sydney this week in the 2nd round I'd have been happy. Pretty disappointed though. Funny how things change like that.
We were out-coached massively again and the boys showed they don't have the killer instinct. The kids looked tired and by and large the individuals looked unaccountable.
Need some attitude adjustment and I'm concerned Hardwick isn't the man to give us the final push and deliver the flag. Has done well so far though.
Another pre-season should see the kids run out games better. Ellis looked shagged the last month. Vlastuin too at times. Some boys need to put on weight. And TBH sometimes I wish King and Jackson still had the fire in their belly that got them MRP attention. Need more men like that.

See that's where we differ. The fact that we couldn't get up for that game in light of what it stood for was an indictment on the players. Even lowly sides can get up for certain games. We couldn't and considering Carlton wasn't that good either said alot. We didn't fire a shot that day we were non-competitive. At least Sunday we were competitive
the only game that comes close to being as humiliating is the benny cousins hamstring game.
Disagree, that was a case of people believing we were better than we actually were and thinking Cousins was going to make such a massive difference. Newsflash we weren't that good, we were crap ;D so result was no surprise

maric and cotch go down in 14, we are royally screwed.,
Wouldn't be includng Kingy in there after Sunday he was pathetic, worse game he's played
So are you saying that the fact we've come from being in the bottom 4 to the top 8 means nothing? Or are you saying none of that matters because we lost on Sunday? Guarantee if we hadn't of played a final you'd be going off worse than you are now.
Not exactly sure what it is you want. Let me say it again I am not happy that we lost a game we had in the bag but give me being there last Sunday over missing out on being there any day of the week
When was the last time we did what carlton did to us in a big game on the big stage. 95 semi?
It wasn't 95 as we didn't play them ;D Think you meant 2001 and we won by less than 2 goals so I don't hink you can say we stitched them up but see your point at tleast we won

If you think last Sunday is as bad as its been in the last decade then I not sure it matters what anyone says or does.
Agree with you about next year if the loss diesn't burn in their guts and drive them nothing will. Actually think and have always thought that play finals in 2013 and the RFC is faced with its biggest challenge in 30+ years and that's backing it up. Let's all take that challenge on and enjoy the ride :thumbsup

Maybe its because I'm a wog and it adds more weight .....
I love your passion MrT! :thumbsup :lol

:thumbsup & that they will. They will be driven to win every game with 75000 members ;D

My best moment was defeating Hawthorn again & showing that we have risen to the next level & can match it with the best teams 2 years running. Regardless of the final result. The players & club produced more than l had expected. 15 wins is a great feeling from a tuff year. The club made profit & reaching 60,000 members, But to get 64,000 is excellent which showed the passion in the club survives after all these years. :gotigers

Winning 15 games was impressive. People need to remember how terrible we were in 2009.
