MCG statue honour for KB
« on: May 25, 2016, 03:13:52 PM »
Richmond great Kevin Bartlett will be immortalised with a bronze statue outside the MCG, as the latest addition to the Australia Post Avenue of Legends.

The statue of the Tigers’ five-time premiership hero and 403-game champion will be created by sculptor Lis Johnson, following her outstanding previous work on the Norm Smith, John Coleman, Neil Harvey and Jim Stynes statues in the Avenue of Legends.

It is expected the Kevin Bartlett statue will be completed and unveiled before the start of the 2017 AFL season.

Disagree Chuck ,  5 times premiership stars that also win Norm Smiths are allowed to go off half cocked without full knowledge of the facts ....but if he were only a triple premiership star he could go get stuffed.

Wasn't exactly getting much support from a crumbling club.  KB is a legend of both the club and our game.  He would tear it up even in the modern game, he was magic.

KB's record of 200 games at the MCG is amazing. Now that Fletcher has retired no one will get near it.
Also, what are they doing with the goals record holder at the MCG, paper mache?
Another record that may not be broken in our lifetimes, get the Richo statue commissioned immediately!
