Just an fyi. On March 10, 2020, I was appointed Richmond Football Club historian.

A shout out to those on the history thread who have been so supportive over the years with their research, counter-research, opinions, observations, suggestions.

Congratulations Rhett, a sound appointment. We look forward to seeing you at Australian Football Heritage Group meetings whenever they can be held. And also congrats to Bill, a stalwart and great contributor.
 
I'm not sure if the SLV is still archiving the Footy Records, but sen is releasing them each week for free.

I managed to snap up a print version of Round 1 - it was the South Australian edition and they were sold in OTR service stations. They covered the games that the two SA teams played.
 
I am hoping that a fellow history buff can help me.

I am doing some research on the Victorian Junior Football Association (1883-1928) and have been able to use the 1875-1979 editions of The Footballer for referencing and Trove has been getting a right royal smashing.

I am hoping that someone in here may have scanned copies of the other editions of this annual or any edition of the The Victorian Football Guide apart from 1892 or any edition of the ABC Football Guide and Register (1886-?) that I may be able to have the use of.

Well done to Collingwood and their researchers who have unveiled a definitive list of ever U19s player for Collingwood

As well they have done the same for Collingwood District 1906-1918

Bad news for the "I played a couple of Under 19 games" liars.

You should find updated work on our reserves as well.

Feel like all Victorian clubs should have this on either their main website or an affiliated website. (I know Carlton and Melbourne do.)

Resources like these tear down the boasting and gloating from some in seconds.

The "lost" 1982 Escort Cup match between Richmond v Swan Districts has been found in its entirety.
A huge discovery of one of the 'holy grail' games we've been looking for. Richmond won by 186 pts after Swan District coach John Todd brought a junior side over to compete. Michael Roach kicked 10 goals from 10 kicks in a quarter and half of football.
Recorded off the TV, I have digitised it and placed it up on youtube.

Pre-game, Q1-Q4, and post-match is up at www.youtube.com/RhettBartlett.
 
Have my doubts. Never heard Ray Shaw or his brother Tony Shaw say Robert Shaw is a relative in all the years followed footy.

However, Tim Paine is Robert Shaw's nephew.


Robert Shaw made mention of this on The Front Bar whenever he was on.
