                             With Richmond starting 1995 joint top of the ladder after 8 rounds at 7-1 on the back of a very accurate Richo kicking 27 goals 3 behinds, the premiership hopes of the Tiger Army were crueled when Richo did his ACL up in Sydney. On the lead along the boundary line going for a mark, Richo was pushed in the back by Swan full-back Andrew Dunkley. Richo tried to pull up quickly to avoid crashing into the fence due to the very narrow boundary of the S.C.G. As a result, his knee locked awkwardly and his ACL was torn.

                             This was the Tigers' second season-ending knee injury after captain Tony Free likewise did his ACL back in round 5. Despite winning the match, the injury toll further mounted when centre half-back Stuart Wigney badly injured his ankle and would miss 10 weeks. In the space of a month, Richmond had lost its star key forward, its captain and key in and under midfielder, and an in-form key defender. Wigney would return later in the year but was never the same player for us as in those first 9 rounds.

                             Richmond would still finish top 4 and make the finals for the first time in 13 years but the damage as far as a genuine flag contender was done despite a brave comeback semi-final win over Essendon. As for Richo, he would make a successful comeback the following year to kick 6 goals in round 1 of 1996 against the Bombers.

                              After 9 straight losses to start the 2010 season, the Tigers score their first win under new coach Damien Hardwick by a resounding 47 points away against Port Adelaide in the wet. By the end of the same decade, Dimma will have broken a 37 year premiership drought and lead the Tigers to our 11th and 12th flags.

                             A match between 15th vs 16th wouldn't normally be memorable but this game gained massive interest especially in WA with it being Ben Cousins' first game in Perth since he left the Eagles and arrived at Richmond. A crowd of 35k turned up with a number of West Coast fans cheering for 'Cuz' and the Tiges against their crosstown rivals in Freo. In the end, the match itself turned into a thriller. After we had coughed up a 14 point lead heading into time-on in the last quarter, Mitch Morton put us in front with only around two minutes to go to win the game.

                             Midway through the 1980 season, this top of the ladder clash between 1st (Richmond) and 2nd (North) drew a then record H&A crowd between the two clubs of 61,789 at the M.C.G. With Roach kicking 7 and KB 3, the Tigers kept their noses in front for the whole four quarters to win by 7 points. The victory put Richmond a game and half ahead of the rest on top of the ladder.

                           n.b.  I can't find any vision of the match on the net unfortunately.

                             Our first genuine Friday night blockbluster under Hardwick. The up and coming Tigers entered the match off the back of big wins against premiership fancies Hawthorn and Sydney. The Saints on the other hand were seen as a big test for the Tigers, not only for being a finalist for 7 of the past 8 years including 3 grand finals, but also for the fact the Tigers hadn't beaten St Kilda in 9 years (13 losses & a draw). In what turned out to be a close-scoring shootout in front of a packed crowd at Docklands stadium, Richmond got a 20 point mini-break early in the last quarter before the Saints kicked 4 straight goals to reclaim the lead. The difference in the end would be Jack Riewoldt who kicked his 6th, 7th and then finally his 8th deep in time-on to get us across the line. While both sides would ultimately miss the Final Eight in 2012, this match proved to be a portent for the future. The then young Tiges would rise to dual premiership glory while St Kilda on the way down would spend the rest of the decade outside the Eight wallowing in mediocrity.

                             After losing our first four matches of 1990 by a combined total of over 300 points, KB's Tigers regrouped and were in search of our fourth win in six games. In David Cloke's 300th game, former Blue David Honybun kicked 6 goals against his old side at the M.C.G. as the Tiges won by 23 points. I just remember everyone going nuts as back in those SOS days we weren't use to winning that many games in a short period of time lol.

                             Richmond headed across the Nullabor to face the Eagles on their home turf with both teams on 5-3 and vying for a top 8 spot: the proverbial 8-point game. After a sluggish first quarter which saw us a goal down, the Tigers burst to life kicking the next 9 goals straight in the space of 35 minutes to the blitz the Eagles. Brett Deledio was best on ground, a young Nick Vlastuin kicked 3, Ivan Maric guts it out strongly in the ruck against both Dean Cox & Nic Natanui, while full-back Alex Rance shut out Eagle spearhead Josh Kennedy after quarter time.

                             Former Tiger Matthew Richardson praised it at the time as our best team performance for 2013:

                             The first game after losing Richo for the season due to his ACL. Everyone was wondering how we would fare without our young gun key forward. After a close first three quarters, the Tigers kicked away in the last kicking 5 goals to 1. Midfielder Paul Broderick lead the way with 36 possies while Stuart Edwards filled in at full forward with 3 goals (& 6 behinds) including 9 marks. Sadly, he never came on and was delisted a year later. The win though that day put the Tigers a game clear on top of the ladder.

                              After returning to full-forward in 1985, Roach kicks 7 against the Dees in round 11 to bring up his 50th goal and lead the Coleman race at the midpoint of the season.

                              Coleman Medal after Round 11, 1985:
                                Roach   54
                                Quinlan 49
                                Beasley 43 .... would end up winning the Coleman.
                                Taylor   41
                                Ablett   39
                                Lockett 32

                                Sadly, Roach would miss 5 games over the course of the season which likely cost him another century and potentially another Coleman medal.
