Although we went down, our efforts against the 2nd placed team Richmond in 1995 was one of our best under the circumstances. We earnt a draw, however the umpires gave the tigers a 6 point win in an absolute cracker at the MCG. Jeff Bruce was penalised for deliberate-out-of-bounds (when it was clearly not) and Dougie Hawkins got penalised a 50-metre penalty for swearing (which he later said he had done 100 times before and not been given a free-kick against) for such a disgraceful decision. But having said that it was an exceptional performance at the MCG, we had such a young team in and nearly knocked off the 2nd team on the ladder.
