Here is a couple more obscure games from the 80s that I will never forget.

Rd 21 1982 Richmond vs Sydney SCG

Remember those Sunday Swans games.....it was your only chance to watch Richmond "Live" on TV.
In 1982 Tiger fans had to wait for the last Sydney home game for our chance to play the Swans.
I remember looking forward to it all year and then watching in shock as Sydney kicked goal after goal in the first quarter.
We were 48 pts down at 1/4 time and came back to win the match by 17pts.

Richmond  127
Sydney     110

Rd 12 1988 Richmond vs Carlton MCG

It had seemed like an eternity since we had beaten the Scum.
Going into this game we were in last place and the Blues were sitting pretty on top of the ladder.
We played out of our skins that night and beat the blues for the first time in 5 years.

Richmond  110
Carlton      93

I remember sitting on my Grandad's knee listening to the end of the '67 GF, and him being a bit disgusted that I was so delighted when Richmond won. Being only 5, it didn't register with me at the time, but he was a big Geelong fan, had worked in Ballarat and Geelong for many years. *Looks up* Sorry Grandad.

Going interstate in 1995 and OS in 2001  . And nup no known plans to travel again in the near future folks lol.

1982 GF - learnt the hard way that the best team over the year doesn't always win the GF  .

game that stuck in my head was at Princess Park against Carlton & we got blown away by 113 points.
That was the worst day of my life seeing that game. l hated Carlton

& of course the Mothers Day Massacre

1982 GF - learnt the hard way that the best team over the year doesn't always win the GF  .

I learnt that one the hard way in '72 MT.   

My most memorable games were:

The 1974 Windy Hill brawl - standing with my old man in the outer among the ferals on the members wing as the fight erupted.  It wasn't the safest place in the world.
The 1973 'revenge' against the lying cheating filth.
The 1980 rout - watching KB tear the scum a new a-hole.

And as a kid, standing on my (steel) beer can grandstands (usually fully constructed before the start of the senior game) in the outer at Princes Park, Victoria Park, Western Oval, Lakeside Oval, Junction Oval etc as a kid - sometimes the strangest memories are the best!

The origins of "Ninthmond"




In terms of pure agony....its hard to top these games

Round 24 1994 (vs Geelong)
Round 22 1996 (vs North)
Round 22 1998 (vs Melb)

Victory in any of the above matches would of resulted in Finals.


I think the 1998 match hurt the most because we spent 17 of the 22 rounds inside the 8.
