I think it is an outstanding announcement in recognition of an outstanding player who I still say was the best I've seen play. Also links beautifully to the Indegnious Institute

great effort tigers  :clapping

Here's the article from the RFC website:


Tiger tribute to Maurice Rioli
richmondfc.com.au
8:46 PM Fri 30 Sep, 2011


Richmond today unveiled ‘The Maurice Rioli Room’ at its Grand Final eve luncheon held in the new Korin Gamadji Institute, as a lasting tribute to the Tiger champion of the 1980s, who passed away late last year.

Members of Maurice’s family were present as a unique portrait of the dual Jack Dyer Medallist and 1982 Norm Smith Medallist was revealed to the assembled guests, to accompany the naming of the room.

“At Richmond, we are extremely proud of our history and of those individuals, players and volunteers, who have built the Club into what it is.  There’s no doubt Maurice Rioli was a very significant figure in the history of our Club, so we have a responsibility to celebrate his legacy,” said the Tigers’ CEO Brendon Gale.
