I think this is a valid argument. It could also be when asked he may have also said, given the timeline , that discussions were started at the end of the 84 season and formalized in 85Thanks gentleman for this.
I'm already aware of previous incarnations of a Richmond Football Club. There are 5.
They are all documented on my tigerlandarchive.org site at the bottom.
As for 1884 foundation year for this current club, I may have to hope that one day we find the minute books from 1885 / or Annual Report to shed light.
Certainly in 1910 it was already being peddled that Richmond were founded in 1884. On reflection it could be simply based off a recollection of James Charles, the first secretary, who was still alive at that time, and perhaps confused his memory by a year.
