The Richmond Football Club today announced the re-signing of its long-time major partner, the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), for the 2005 season.

Richmond’s president, Clinton Casey, expressed delight that the Club would be continuing its strong partnership with the TAC.


“It’s particularly pleasing that, despite our disappointing on-field season in 2004, we have been able to retain the TAC as one of our major partners. This is another significant step for the Club since the end of the season, with more key announcements imminent.” Casey said.

“We really look forward to working with the TAC on a number of exciting initiatives in the coming months to further push the important road-safety message.”

The TAC’s Communications Manager, Kelly McGregor, said: “Throughout the past 15 years, the TAC and Richmond have worked closely together to develop and implement a range of successful programs and activities focusing on the dangers and consequences of drink-driving. In 2005, these programs will be further developed to support the “Drink, drive, bloody idiot” campaign.”

Richmond’s association with the TAC dates back to 1989, making it the second-oldest, current major partnership in AFL football.

Tigers and TAC renew partnership
3:06:23 PM Mon 15 November, 2004

The Transport Accident Commission today announced that it had renewed its major sponsorship of the Richmond Football Club for the 2005 season.

Under the partnership, Richmond players and officials will continue to highlight the dangers and consequences of drink-driving to football fans and the broader Victorian community.


The Tigers will continue to actively promote the anti-drink driving message through community campaigns and match day promotions, and by prominently displaying the “drink, drive, bloody idiot” message on players’ jumpers and other clothing, and signage at match venues.

The Tigers will also assist the TAC to promote its “Only a little bit over? You bloody idiot” campaign.

The partnership between the TAC and the Richmond Football Club dates back to 1989 and has evolved over the years into the most recognised sponsorship in the AFL.

Throughout the past 16 years, the Tigers and the TAC have worked closely together to develop and implement a range of successful programs and activities. These have included a ‘Players in Schools’ program with Richmond players running sessions with students, aimed at addressing decision making and risk-taking among teenagers on the roads; a hospital visits program; and high profile players acting as ‘Road Safety Ambassadors’.
