This weekend’s Mother’s Day round marks the 20th anniversary of one of the biggest upset wins in Richmond’s league football history.
It was Mother’s Day 1991 - Sunday, May 12 - when the battling Tigers took on reigning premier Collingwood at the MCG.
The Magpies, with 17 of the 20 members of their 1990 premiership side, were red-hot favorites to beat the young Tigers, who were coached by Club great Kevin Bartlett.
But with spearhead, Jeff Hogg, in scintillating form, Richmond smashed its arch rivals by 57 points in a performance dubbed the “Mother’s Day Massacre”.

Richmond 4.3 12.8 18.13 24.15 (159)

That must cost a fair bit, not sure if I could justify that in any way
I have downloaded every one of our wins for the past 3 years (haven't had to do it often :help) and kept it on my network storage so I can stream it to my TV.

It's actually gone down by $100 this season = $495 for the entire season + finals if you make them ;D plus a groovy storage case for them. Previous season it was $595 for the season no finals.
I get it given to me as a b-day present :thumbsup
