Ranking Our Champions

[WilliamPowell]

[Stevan Jackson was a KP dud we got from the Eagles in the early 90's  .

A dud with "diickie Knees" IIRC = a lethal combination in the AFL dud stakes

[starkravenmad2]

robbie flower was a dead set champ. no doubt.people used to go to just watch him and also barrassi rates him as one of the best he has coached/played with.in his days teams played more through their wings so players like flower and hawkins both had skills most would die for and a great ability to read and set up the play. both a pleasure to watch except against the tigers

[1980]

And he kicked 100 goals for the season in Richmond's reserves side in 1980 

What year was it that we had Roach in the 1's kicking a ton,Jacko in the 2's kick a ton and  "WHO"In the under 19s
(was it another Jackson-Stevan  ?)

Same year Ox. IIRC it was Peter(?) Lane who kicked 100 goals in the U19's. Left shortly afterwards as did Jacko. Them leaving didn't make any difference though as BT then arrived at Tigerland.

Stevan Jackson was a KP dud we got from the Eagles in the early 90's  . Traded picks 3 and 16 for Jackson and Steven O'Dwyer from the Dees  in another one of those classic Richmond recruiting moves .

Thanx Moighty Toiges.

I remember Jackson now.It was because a long time ex-girlfriend knew him that the name was in my head.

He was actually beyond DUD.

stuff,we were pumping the goal kickers out back in the day.

The funniest thing about Jackson is the lengths the club went to recruit him. They had him followed around and chaperoned for 2 months in Perth before the draft, cos they were afraid another club would get him.

Talk about pumping the goal kickers out back!!!

From memory, he was a big p1$$ head. Couldnt get him out of the pub.

Probably we were that desperate because we couldn't afford to recruit a big name from interstate like other clubs. We mainly went for young country Vic kids because they came cheap. IIRC Jackson came to Richmond with a  similar reputation that Morrison did last year. Someone who wasn't getting opportunites at a top side (Eagles)  .

Not sure how much of a pi$$ head he was, but he is a policeman, and I was lucky enough to sit just behind him out at Arctic Park.  He was as mad as a cut snake.

Could have been heaps better

Morrison was the most disliked player on the Lions List. to much of an I am.

[WilliamPowell]

That's the fella.

I still have an old pick of the 3 of them (Roach, Jackson & Lane) in an old scrap book - I'll try and get it scanned this weekend and post it for those interested.  

Here's the pic I was talking about - from the Footy record - 23/8/80

[mightytiges]

Great pic WP  . I still find it hard to imagine Jacko playing serious footy.

Imagine us trying to fit all three into a forward line when we couldn't even fit two with both Disco and BT .

[Ox]

Thanx Moighty.
I'll scan it and keep it in my wallet.

Love to se the pic WP.
BTW,Happy Birfday to your mama.

Thanks kindly Ox

My Ma had a great day yesterday recovering from her surprise party Sunday afternoon

Richo needing only 4 more goals to get to 600 and 12 to pass Disco reminded me of this thread. Anyone changed their mind on the Richo vs Roach debate with Richo leading the Coleman medal at the moment?

Richo set for 600 six-pointers

Matthew Richardson is on the verge of becoming just the fourth player in Richmond’s history to kick 600 goals for the Club.

‘Richo’, who has been in sparkling form during the opening rounds of the 2005 season, has kicked 596 goals in his 198 league games. Interestingly, he will achieve the 600-goal feat wearing the same guernsey number as the first man to reach the milestone at Tigerland – Jack Titus.

’Skinny’ Titus chalked up his 600th goal in Round 7 of the 1938 season against Fitzroy. It would be another 42 years before a Richmond player would join him, with Kevin Bartlett kicking his 600th goal in the Round 20, 1980 match against Melbourne.

Michael Roach was the last Richmond player to reach the 600-goal milestone, also against Fitzroy, in the Round 13 clash of 1989.

It would remiss to not mention a remarkable connection between these three men . . . Jack Titus coached Kevin Bartlett in 1965, during Len Smith's absence following a heart attack. Kevin Bartlett then coached Michael Roach in his last season as a Richmond player. Michael Roach's son, Thomas, is a member of the current Tigers playing list, and a teammate of Matthew Richardson.

For the record, Richo will narrowly miss a record-breaking feat – 600 goals in the least number of senior games at Richmond. If he kicks four goals against St Kilda at Telstra Dome this Sunday, in his 199th match, he will be placed third overall on this exclusive list.

Number of Games to 600th Goal:

194 – Jack Titus
195 – Michael Roach
199 – Matthew Richardson *
334 – Kevin Bartlett

Interestingly, Richardson will join Michael Roach as the only 600-plus goalkicker in the Tigers’ history not to win a Club Best and Fairest. He also will become the only member of that great goalkicking list not to have played in a premiership side.

The current list of all-time leading Tiger goalkickers is:

970 – Jack Titus
778 – Kevin Bartlett
607 – Michael Roach
596 – Matthew Richardson *

Anal Rhettentive is at it again with the totally uninteresting coincidences.

Remarkable. I guess Richo wouldn' t be a footballer if it were not for Len Smith's dodgy ticker. Pathetic.

I think the more remarkable connection is probably that between Rhett's hand and his genitals.
