yeah in a days that the football was being torpedoed into the forward line
he must have been some sort of player to kick nearly 1000 goals in muddy crap grounds & a hard leather balloon :thumbsup
hands must have been rock solid

More likely drop kicked or stab passed with pin point accuracy :thumbsup

And at 175cm and 66kg, Titus was shorter and lighter than both Jake King and Nathan Foley. Puts his performance in real perspective.

I reckon Jack Titus' achievements get too easily forgotten at times
Played at Coburg too - kicking 119 goals

Richo closes in on KB
By Tony Greenberg
9:53 AM Thu 12 June, 2008
Matthew Richardson has moved to within five goals of second-placed Kevin Bartlett on Richmond’s all-time goalkicking list.
The Tiger champion’s three-goal return against Adelaide at the MCG last Saturday took his overall tally to 773 in 267 games, just five behind KB’s 778, which he amassed in 403 games. Jack Titus is the Tigers’ greatest-ever goalkicker, with 970 in his 294 games.
This also means that ‘Richo’, who has 30 goals to the half-way mark of the home-and-away season, is only six goals away from displacing Bartlett in 11th place on the AFL’s all-time goalkicking list.
For Richo to move into the top 10 on the league’s list before season’s end, he would have to kick a further 45 goals.

11 games 45 goals. 4.09 goals a game. Would take his tally to 75 goals if he were to achieve it. An excellent return for a bloke who has played forward wing and every other position in the team.

Brilliant HT 74 he is a deadset champion. any other team he would have 1000 goals no question about it

William Powell is right. Titus is often forgotten for his contribution to the club.
From a personal (and slightly selfish point of view) - Richos impending overtaking of my father's 778 goals-puts into perspective as well, how much of a goal kicker KB was , when he wasn't even a full forward.
Titus as well is far and above everyone in Richmond's history, the best goalkicker, in a time of heavier footballers, muddier grounds, shorter seasons - he is an out and out champion

Sorry Rhett, i have to say it because everyone else is thinking it. Your dad didnt handball, hence the nick name.lol. Seriously, you are right! To play on surburban grounds with, lets face it, foot skills not as good as today and kick as many as your old man is a wonderful achievement. I feel so proud to follow a club with the ilks of Bartlett, Richo, Hart, Dyer, Titus, Bourke and the like as players both past and present

After 65 years of watching league football I can tell you for certain that the foot skills of old were far superior to those of today

My footskills were far better back then than they are now. :lol :lol :lol
But seriously, I know I have mentioned it on here before but Titus's achievements stand all that much taller when you consider the stature of the man - same height and lighter than Jake King or Nathan Foley, yet played the key position of full forward in the day of crappy grounds and tough men. What a champion.

richo has played way more games as a half forward than a full forward, so as a half forward goal kicker richo has proven he is a legend. all other major goal kickers played deep at fullforward or forward pocket, like leigh matthews and your dad , kb never got the nick name hungry for no reason, very selfish and over rated player, who was carried over 400 games. richo will be remembered as a better legend at the rfc than your dad, when his day is done and rightfully so.
kb, your dad played and was carried in the glory days, successfully brutal teams, whereas richo has had to carry a team through a pathetic era
yes you r selfish and take a biased opinion, your dad is half the man, and half the player richo is, and if richo played with richmond through the glory days, he would have over 1000 goals by now.
so it seems, just like your dad, you take a selfish point of view, and both probably suffer from litlte mans syndrome, unlike richo
ps, if they had gps back in the old days, it would have been pretty funny, because richo would cover more ground playing as a forwrd than your dad ever did as a rover
-
No need to personally attack Rhett. He's entitled to his opinion and whether you like it or not, KB was a great player.
-
Way too harsh Shannon! That is a disgusting personal attack. >:( All are champoins in their own right and deserve their place in history, KB was a great player and an integral part of our team.

In all the posts on this forum I don't think I have ever read a more uninformed or inaccurate pile of dribble. You might have done well to shut your mouth because you have just stamped yourself as a fool. Maybe it would have been good if you had seen Bartlett actually play a game, then you might have had just one silky thin shred of credibility before launching into your garbage opinion and garbage post. Yep, we all have an opinion and we are all entitled to our own but you just embarrassed yourself with yours.

yeah thats a very silly comment to make.
those old timers like KB, disco and hart played on grounds not suitable for even smokey and moi to walk on, so for me their standing in the game should never be questioned.
-
Is now equal with KB and 11th all-time.
Fantastic effort, and hopefully rewarded with positive acknowledgement across the league.
I will be looking forward to the media roll out next week cos you get it all with the 'Cho.
-
hope he ends up between 850 - 900 goals in his career!

Richardson was happy to console himself with best-afield honours, and being elevated to equal second on the Tigers' all-time goals tally.
He is equal with Kevin Bartlett (778 goals), and behind only Jack "Skinny" Titus (970).
"Yeah, I would be lying if I said I don't know about that. 'KB' is a champion of our footy club, so to have your name up there alongside him is something to look back on," Richardson said.
The Tigers champion said if Richmond could build on the momentum of last night, finals were not out of reach.
"We had a reasonably tough draw and we blew games we should have won, but we can still make the finals. It's in our hands. If we can beat the teams we should beat, we will be a chance," Richardson said.
"Eighth spot is still up for grabs."

Well done to Richo. Only 190 more goals to go to surpass Jack Titus. The way he is playing and with the engine he has whose to say he won't hang around long enough to do so.
His move to the wing has coincided with a marked improvement in his set shooting for goal. That goal on the angle from the dead pocket at AAMI in the last quarter was just magnificent and oh so important the way the game eventually panned out. :bow The type of shot from the type of distance he would generally fluff if he was being played exclusively as a forward in previous seasons.
-
If Richo can maintain his average of 3 goals per game until the end of next season, he'll be right on the 874 goals by Peter McKenna in 8th spot. Hopefully he can overtake that pansy Lloyd too.

foot skills not as good as today[/quote]
hmmm i wouldnt be too cocky about that.
i've been following since the seventies and i gotta say i think the skill levels have fallen away a little since then.
the game is definately alot faster now thats for sure but dont let that fool you into thinking its alot more skillful.
Coleman, Skilton, Teddy, Hart, Baldock, Nash ...so many legends of the past were out and out guns.
I would say the early 30's were the golden era of football. so many afl legends from that era, so many long standing records.
Jack Dyer said in his last years that the best player pound for pound he ever saw in his whole lifetime was the great Laurie Nash.
He must of been pretty damn good cause when you think of all the players that played in Dyers lifetime gee thats a real honour PLUS Dyer isnt the only one that says this about Laurie Nash either.
-

From hearing bits from players over the years, I think Laurie Nash was a bit keen on himself as well lol
Whitten is the one everyone from yesteryear rates as the best.
I don't see it. I vaguely remember seeing him play and he was a tough bloke, skilful and everything they say. But the best? I wouldn't have minded having a Leigh Matthews in any Tiger side going. Brilliant player, tough as anything with great skills.
I think sometimes old players get stuck in a time warp and can't see beyond their playing days.

I've been following footy since the 70's too and i'm pretty sure that the only kpi that has not risen over the years is accuracy in front of goal.Kicking effeciency has improved but i'll grant one thing, the chip and hold and kick backwards may inflate those effeciencies a little. I've also been playing footy(albiet bush footy) since 1983 and the skills have definately improved.

190 goals for the record Richo!
190 goals / 53 matches (R14 - R22 ;08, R1 - R22 ;09, R1 - R22 ;10)
= 3.6 goals per match
that is very reachable.
:)
