BEST INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES

JACK TITUS: 202 consecutive games, 970 career goals
Built more like a rover than a full-forward, Titus displayed wonderful talent and durability throughout an 18-year career with the Tigers (1926-43), kicking a Club record 970 goals and setting a league record of 202 consecutive games, which stood until 1996.

DOUG STRANG: 14 goals v North Melbourne, 1931
Strang booted an amazing 14 goals from full-forward for Richmond against North Melbourne at Punt Road on May 9, 1931, in just his second game of league football. It's an individual goal record, which still stands at Tigerland to this day...

JACK DYER: nine goals v Essendon, 1944 preliminary final
The famous Richmond captain-coach inspired his undermanned Tiger team to a gallant victory over Essendon in the 1944 preliminary final with an outstanding nine-goal performance, following his surprise switch to full-forward at the start of the game.

ROY WRIGHT: two Brownlow Medals
Overcame a sick childhood and late start to his football career, to write his name into the record books by winning two Brownlow Medals - in 1952 and 1954 - and establishing himself as one of the game's all-time great ruckmen.

TOMMY HAFEY: four premierships as coach
Took over the coaching reins at Richmond in 1966 and guided the Tigers through their most successful era in VFL/ AFL football, winning four premierships and achieving a 70% winning percentage during his 11-year coaching stint at Punt Road.

BILL BARROT: eight goals v Carlton, Round 19, 1969
The star centreman was shifted to full-forward midway through the second quarter of Richmond's must-win match against Carlton in the second-last round of the 1969 season, with the team struggling. He proceeded to kick eight goals in a brilliant display that lifted the Tigers to a memorable win.

MICHAEL GREEN: outstanding 1969 finals series
The young ruckman rose to the challenge magnificently in Richmond's 1969 finals campaign, controlling the centre bounces and dominating around the ground through his marking prowess. He was voted the Tigers' best player in their wins against Geelong, Collingwood, and then Carlton in the Grand Final.

KEVIN BARTLETT: 21 goals in 1980 finals series
Put his unique stamp on the 1980 finals series, kicking 21 goals as a half-forward in Richmond's three appearances, including a Grand Final-equalling bag of seven in the Grand Final massacre of the Magpies, which earned him the Norm Smith Medal for being best a field.

DAVID CLOKE: nine Brownlow Votes in his final three games
Scored a perfect nine Brownlow Medal votes in his final three games of AFL football, as a 36-year-old with Richmond in 1991. An eight-goal effort in his last match, against Carlton at the MCG, was a dream finish to his league career.

MATTHEW KNIGHTS: 1995 semi-final performance v Essendon   
Single-handedly kept the Tigers in the hunt in their cut-throat 1995 final against Essendon with a superb, inspirational first half of football, kicking three of the team’s four goals. His teammates responded in the second half, running right over the top of the Bombers.

KB in 1980 for me. Best individual display by a Tiger I've ever seen.

How stiff was David Cloke to kick 6(?) in a GF and get overshadowed by someone else.
Yep, KB was amazing!

richmondrules:
KB. I thought about Tommy but I can't get over him coaching the scum.
