From memory, didn't Mick Malthouse square up with Mick Conlan later in the game?

Not sure if it was the same game, but Malthouse did knock out Conlan, pretended he was trying to punch the ball and got Conlan’s head instead.
I think we ended up going down by a point or so.
It’s weird, but I can remember more about Richmond games/teams from the late 70’s, early 80’s, than I can 2017 to 2020.

I just found the vision last night of Wilson’s hit on Jess to be one of the most clinically perfect that I’ve ever seen - he was out instantly

Was a good hit.

I reckon that also might have been the game where Taylor kicked 10 very early in his career.

I'm exactly the same, I couldn't recall that much about most games over the last decade - some exceptions of course - but I can vividly recall moments and quarters of games from the late 1980s through to the mid 1990s pretty easily.

Part of it might be most games are the same now, tactics are all the same and scoring is lower. Less reliance on individuals too of course.

 

[Not a mere cat]

Love Lawrence. The more everyone melts the more I hope he’s on

I prefer him over Lehmo or Fitzey - see that’s the thing with comedy, some people , somewhere, apart from their parents, must find them funny. I groan when they are on, never laughed once at what they said. Where as Lawrence I do get some laughs from.

I'm the same - stronger memories of games from the 80's than more recent times.
As well as the game style, I think this would be fairly common - long term memories, especially from childhood (as is the case for me when talking 80's anyway) tend to be the strongest.
For example I am the same with Test cricket, which I love - I can recall results and details of Tests from the 80s far more vividly than games over the last twenty years.

I’ve heard it said that “memories are painted with a golden brush”.

was good value as the guest, just as I expected

 

[peternorth]

You tend to remember things from childhood or teenage years even because you have fewer or zero responsibilities. Footy or sports becomes life as game days were approached with such excitement that it became the pinnacle. It was all encompassing. It dictated whether you had a good weekend or not.

As you age there are more important matters in life. These take away your focus

 

[Lyttelton Ranger]

He's about as funny as being kicked in the plums.

I copped a tennis ball hard in the plums once and I definitely did not see the funny side, but I do chuckle sometimes at Moonman's jokes. The one about Bob Skilton saying JFK would only be out for 2 weeks was a pearler

 

[hamG]

heck me I hope the media picks up the way Brian Taylor spoke about Danny Frawley on this show. He boasted about and doubled down about making Frawley 'cry' when he kicked 7 goals on him. According to BT, he cried because he was 'such a competitor'.

News flash BT

 

[MauroFogheri]

Sad Cilauro's dad has died. I used to buy my mum's typewriter ribbons in the shop next to his legal practice in Coburg

 

[Cam Payne]

BT was an incredibly violent player. Not as violent as someone like Leigh Matthews, but someone who, like Leigh, was violent enough to have been gaoled.

Based on what? Videos of him wrestling with gobshites?

Most of it was headlocks, was pretty funny actually.

Matthews was never gaoled, silly comment.

 

[Commando]

Matthews was never gaoled, silly comment.

He never said that he was, said he was violent enough to have been...

was good. Seems like a genuinely good bloke.

 

[the avoca drover]

Michael Walters was good. Seems like a genuinely good bloke.

Bit of a character for sure.

 

[RAPPA]

Bit of a character for sure.

And he gets a bonus point for having a fave movie that isn’t Shawshank Redemption

 

[Borussia Teeth]

Michael Walters was good. Seems like a genuinely good bloke.

Yes, never liked him as a player but he was good on TV last night.

 

[voorhees]

Michael Walters was good. Seems like a genuinely good bloke.

yeah..enjoyed him.
had his period of being a dangerous fantastic player.
Came across as a fun guy.

As a Crows supporter who has no love for the Power (or Port Adelaide Magpies)...

What was that gigantic pile of shit that Mooney dumped tonight? It was in no way funny, just downright offensive.

He picked a hell of a week to be such a gigantic turd.

Sadly, yes.
