Wrong state mate. Cairns is a beautiful place, but too humid for too long for mine. The Sunshine Coast is the Goldilocks zone - but don't tell anyone I told you....... ;)

Pick 11
  • Index
    • Pick 11 - Maurice Rioli - A magnificent centreman!

    Acknowledged as one of the greatest players of his era, Rioli was one of the first Indigenous Australian footballers to have a significant impact on Victorian football, and was named in the centre for the Indigenous Team of the Century. A highly skilled and solidly built centreman with exquisite ball-handling skills and lightning reflexes, Rioli was a renowned performer on the big stage.

    Rioli created history by winning the Norm Smith Medal as best afield, the first Indigenous player and the first player from a losing team to do so;[8] when combined with his consecutive Simpson Medals from the 1980 and 1981 WAFL Grand Finals, Rioli had been best on ground in three consecutive Grand Finals. Shortly after, Rioli won the Jack Dyer Medal as the club's best and fairest to cap off an amazing first season.

    With Richmond rapidly falling from the success of 1982, the decimated team struggled and finished third-last in 1983. Rioli, however, had another stellar season, again winning the best and fairest, finishing runner-up in the Brownlow medal, gaining Western Australian and All-Australian selection, and winning the Simpson Medal for his state of origin performance. An acknowledged star of the game and arguably the best player at the club, Rioli continued to stand out in a mediocre team. He represented Australia in Gaelic football against Ireland, and was an immediate choice for Western Australia in state of origin matches. However, after finishing second in the Richmond best and fairest in 1985, his days there soon looked set to end.

    In the summer of 1985–86, the new private owner of the Sydney Swans, flamboyant and controversial doctor Geoff Edelsten, had been frantically signing talent on massive contracts to play for his team. Rioli was announced as one of his many signings. It was the salary cap that saved Rioli from leaving for Sydney. After rumours that he would either join Essendon or return to South Fremantle, he eventually returned to the Tigers midway through the 1986 season. This affected Rioli as he performed patchily through the season and the next, when Richmond finished last for only the third time in its history. Rioli captained Western Australia in the state game that year against his teammate Dale Weightman, who led Victoria.

    If biggest is best then George Christensen is the best dope to come out of Qld.

    Anything north of Mackay is pretty hot property - especially when destroyed by the police:

    I used to love Cricket specially Test and more than the 1 dayer's but can honestly say i have not watched or been interested for 6-7 years
    When players started retiring early and going off to play 20/20 with shed loads of cash being thrown at them the game has not been the same.

    Regarding reading the room , I go by my nephews and younger generation and they only have interest in the 20/20 and couldnt care less about tests

    Pick 12

    • With pick 12 I can't go past the great Francis Bourke.

    1637216590378.png

    Bourke represented Richmond between 1967-1981 playing 300 games as a wing/HB. Early on Bourke was part of the famed midfield line of Bourke Barrot Clay. Bourke is a member of Richmonds 5 time premiership winners club winning his first in his first year 1967 following up with 1969 1973 1974 & 1980. After he retired Bourke moved into the coaches box taking Richmond to the 1982 GF in his first year but was unable to secure the win. The following year the Tigers ended the season with a 7-15 record and was replaced as coach.

    Cedar bay had a famous bust back in the 70s. Noosa wasn't a bad place to score. And yeah I've been in Mullum a bit lately. Some very bent basketball post game sessions with the boys from upper main arm

    BIOGRAPHY
    Michael was Richmond’s best post war full-forward. He won theh club Goalkicking award seven times, and won the VFL Goalkicking award twice in 1980 and 1981. In 1980 he was the inaugural winner of the “John Coleman Medal” which is presented to the League’s leading goalkicker. His tally of 607 goals, with Richmond, places him third on the club’s all-time aggregate with only Jack Titus and Kevin Bartlett ahead of him. His goal tally would have been a lot higher had he not missed so many games through injury. He was an athletic player who was very agile, a spectacular high mark and a long accurate right foot kick, although he could kick well with his left foot. He thrilled Richmond supporters with his ability to climb over packs to take a high mark and his 100th goal in Round 21 of season 1980, was the result of a long kick from inside the centre square and proved just one of many highlights during that season. He is the only senior Richmond player, since the war, to kick 100 goals and he holds the club record for the most goals, in senior ranks in one season, 112 goals in 1980.

    He was recruited from Tasmanian Club Longford in 1977. In his first year at Richmond, he won the Best First Year Player award, as a wingman, and he was a member of the Reserves’ Premiership side. During his second season, he struggled with form and managed only three games. His career really took off in 1979 when he established himself as a regular senior player finishing that season with 90 goals and running second to Footscray’s Kelvin Templeton for the VFL Honours. He also took the mark of the year with his grab over Hawthorn full-back Kelvin Moore. He was a member of the 1980 Premiership side and the 1982 Grand Final side and was awarded Life Membership in 1986. He represented Victoria three times and Tasmania twice as well as gaining selection in the 1979 All-Australian side. His highest individual goal tally was 11 against Footscray, in 1980 and Hawthorn in 1985 and he kicked 5 goals or more on 30 occasions. He once kicked 8 out of Richmond’s match tally of 11 goals against Collingwood, during a 1985 clash. In 1980 he had great success against Footscray kicking 21 goals in their two clashes. During his football career he kicked 782 goals. He earned the nickname “Disco” due to a prank played on him during the early part of his career by some of his more seasoned teammates. After retiring as a player he served as a specialist coach at Richmond for several seasons and during 1992 he served as a team manager for the Reserves. A happy-go-lucky person, Michael was a very popular character with both teammates and supporters. He returned to Richmond as a kicking coach during the 1994 season. The Richmond Football Club now award the “Michael Roach Medal” to the winner of the club’s Goalkicking award.

    • Pick 14 - Shane Edwards

    1637230768754.jpeg

    The team probably needs some pure defenders but I’ve gone with best available in Shane Edwards. He’s almost played 300 games, has three premiership medallions, and is just pure joy to watch. Bit of a slow burn to his career but has become a magician. Adds loads of creativity and good vibes to the team.

    • pick 15- Ian Stewart


    After seven seasons and 127 games with St Kilda Stewart's career looked to be waning but in 1971 he moved to Richmond and immediately won another Brownlow to add to the two won previously in 1965 and 1966. While at Punt Road he linked up to great effect with another high profile Tasmanian player in the shape of Royce Hart. Stewart's 78 games with the Tigers included the victorious Grand Final of 1973 and took his final VFL games tally to 205. He originally retired midway through the 1974 season only to make a handful of appearances the following year before finally calling it a day for good.

    Ian Stewart's selection as centreman in the official Tasmanian 'Team of the Century', which was announced in June 2004, was as inevitable as it was justified. Two years later he was inducted as an icon in Tasmanian Football's official Hall of Fame.

    Nathan Brown played 219 games for the Western Bulldogs and Richmond between 1997 and 2009.
    Recruited from Golden Square and then the Bendigo Pioneers in the TAC Cup to the Western Bulldogs in the AFL, Brown made a name for himself as a dangerous medium-sized forward.
    He played with the Bulldogs from 1997 to 2003, and left the club after a more lucrative contract was offered by Richmond. At the time the Western Bulldogs had asked many of their high profile players to take pay cuts to support the team financially. Nathan Brown's money-based move to Richmond led to some Bulldogs' fans labelling Brown "Judas".
    In 2005 Brown continued to perform for the Tigers, due to the Tigers new coach Terry Wallace taking over, and put in a string of match-winning performances in the early part of the season, including a sensational last-quarter burst against Collingwood in Round 8. In this game, Richmond turned a 10-point deficit into a 35-point victory, thanks to Brown's five last-quarter goals. The following week against Brisbane, Brown added four goals to be one of the match winners along with Shane Tuck. With Richmond sitting in the top four, with seven wins and two losses following a rare interstate win, Brown proclaimed that the Tigers would now be aiming to consolidate their place in the top four in 2005. Brown being a key player, booting 32 goals in his nine appearances to that stage.
    But Richmond's 2005 season turned ugly when Brown broke his leg attempting a left-foot kick as Melbourne Demons defender Matthew Whelan dived across him in a legitimate attempt to smother the ball. Brown's right foot became stuck on the Telstra Dome surface and tilted a bit to the right. Replays of the incident on the big Telstra Dome screen and on news highlights the following day and throughout the weekend shocked many viewers, even to the extent that it made Channel Ten presenter Robert Walls turn off his TV. Richmond lost the game by 57 points, and would only record three more wins in 2005, against the Sydney Swans (who ultimately went on to win the premiership) and Essendon in rounds 14 and 15, and a late-gasp win over Hawthorn in round 21. Some have suggested the incident effectively ended Brown's career as his time away from football meant that by time Brown returned, the game had passed him by, while the subsequent complications from the horrific injury considerably hindered the remainder of his career.
    Brown had a titanium rod inserted into his tibia, and underwent extensive therapy and rehabilitation training over the following pre-season. Brown returned to the field for a clash with his old club the Western Bulldogs in late-March, which Richmond lost by 115 points, the first of three century losses Richmond suffered in 2006. The last, a 103-point loss to St Kilda in round 17, spelled the end of Brown's 2006 season as he suffered a hamstring strain during the match. Brown encountered complications from his broken leg early in 2007 which ruled him out for the first half of the season.
    With Richmond languishing at the bottom of the ladder, Brown did not play a match at senior level until Round 12. He returned in a 49 point win over Melbourne (the first for the Tigers season), kicking three goals in the process.
    Brown played his 200th game in 2008, against Melbourne at the Telstra Dome, the same team and venue of his infamous broken leg - but this time Richmond was the home team. He also lined up on Matthew Whelan, the man who broke his leg, but this time around the Tigers won comfortably.
    In November 2009, Nathan Brown announced his retirement from the AFL. He stated that there was interest from other clubs to pick him up, although he believed a persistent groin injury would not stand up to another season of AFL football.
