AFL - The Premierships Collection - Richmond DVD

 

 

SINCE JOINING THE COMPETITION IN 1908, RICHMOND HAS WON TEN PREMIERSHIPS, MAKING THE TIGERS ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AND STORIED CLUBS IN AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL HISTORY. AFTER EARLY SUCCESS, WITH FIVE PREMIERSHIPS PRIOR TO THE END OF WORD WAR II, THE POST-WAR ERA SAW THE TIGERS STRUGGLE TO MAKE AN IMPACT. IT WAS THE COACHING APPOINTMENT OF FORMER PLAYER TOM HAFEY IN 1966 THAT USHERED IN A NEW ERA AT TIGERLAND, AS THE CLUB ENDED A 24-YEAR PREMIERSHIP DROUGHT WITH SUCCESS IN 1967. THE TIGERS WOULD WIN THREE MORE FLAGS UNDER HAFEYS REIGN, IN 1969, 1973 AND 1974, WITH KEY PLAYERS ROYCE HART, KEVIN BARTLETT, MICHAEL GREEN, KEVIN SHEEDY, FRANCIS BOURKE, IAN STEWART AND DICK CLAY LEADING THE CLUB THROUGH WHAT WOULD BE ITS MOST SUCCESSFUL ERA. IN 1980, UNDER COACH TONY JEWELL, THE TIGERS WOULD ADD ANOTHER FLAG TO THE TROPHY CABINET AT PUNT ROAD, WITH AN 81-POINT DEMOLITION OF ARCH-RIVALS COLLINGWOOD AT THE MCG. SIT BACK AND ENJOY ALL THE MEMORIES OF FIVE OF RICHMOND'S HISTORIC PREMIERSHIPS, WITH FULL GRAND FINAL REPLAYS FROM 1967, 1969, 1973, 1974, 1980 AND 2017.
