==Club honour board== ===Premiership teams=== :See [[Richmond premiership teams]] ===Richmond Team of the Century=== In 1998, Richmond announced its Team of the 20th Century. The selection of the 22 players shows an even spread of champions from all the eras of the club: Thorp from the club's first premiership wins of 1920β21; McCormack, Strang, Titus and Dyer from the inter-war years; Rowe, Morris and Wright from the battling era after the war; Richardson and Knights from recent times. But the great days from the late 1960s to the early 1980s provide the bulk of the side: Sheedy, Green, Keane, Bourke, Barrot, Clay, Hart, Dean and Bartlett who made up the core of Tom Hafey's teams, and later success stories Weightman and Raines. Ian Stewart, named on the bench, managed selection in a team of the century at two clubsβhe was named in the centre of St Kilda's team as well. Richmond has four players denoted below with an [[asterisk]] who are also members of [[AFL Team of the Century]]. This is the second-most of any club. {{Aussie rules team | title = Richmond Team of the Century<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.richmondfc.com.au/TheClub/History/TeamoftheCentury/tabid/7669/Default.aspx |title=Team of the Century β Official AFL Website of the Richmond Football Club |website=richmondfc.com.au |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070314021736/http://www.richmondfc.com.au/TheClub/History/TeamoftheCentury/tabid/7669/Default.aspx |archive-date=14 March 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> | backpocket1 = [[Kevin Sheedy (Australian footballer)|Kevin Sheedy]] ''1967β79, 180 cm 81k,<br /> 251 games 91 goals'' | fullback = [[Vic Thorp]] ''1910β25, 178 cm 83k,<br /> 263 games 7 goals'' | backpocket2 = [[Michael Green (Australian rules footballer)|Michael Green]] ''1966β75, 193 cm 94k,<br /> 146 games 83 goals'' | halfbackflank1 = [[Basil McCormack]] ''1925β36, 180 cm 80k,<br /> 199 games 1 goal'' | centrehalfback = [[Gordon Strang]] ''1931β38, 185 cm 83k,<br /> 116 games 108 goals'' | halfbackflank2 = [[Mervyn Keane]] ''1972β84, 185 cm 82k,<br /> 238 games 36 goals'' | wing1 = [[Francis Bourke]] * ''1967β81, 185 cm 83k,<br /> 300 games 71 goals'' | centre = [[Bill Barrot]] ''1961β70, 180 cm 76k,<br /> 120 games 91 goals'' | wing2 = [[Dick Clay]] ''1966β76, 185 cm 85k,<br /> 213 games 80 goals'' | halfforwardflank1 = [[Matthew Richardson (footballer)|Matthew Richardson]] ''1993β2009 , 197 cm 103k,<br /> 282 games 800 goals'' | centrehalfforward = [[Royce Hart]] * ''1967β77, 187 cm 86k,<br /> 187 games 369 goals'' | halfforwardflank2 = [[Roger Dean (Australian rules footballer)|Roger Dean]] ''1957β73, 175 cm 73k,<br /> 245 games 204 goals'' | forwardpocket1 = [[Dale Weightman]] ''1978β93, 170 cm 69k,<br /> 274 games 344 goals'' | fullforward = [[Jack Titus]] ''1926β43, 175 cm 66k,<br /> 294 games 970 goals'' | forwardpocket2 = [[Bill Morris (Australian rules footballer)|Bill Morris]] ''1942β51, 188 cm 86k,<br /> 140 games 98 goals'' | ruck = [[Roy Wright (footballer)|Roy Wright]] ''1946β59, 188 cm, 102k,<br /> 195 games 127 goals'' | ruckrover = [[Jack Dyer]] * (capt) ''1931β49, 185 cm 89k,<br /> 312 games 443 goals'' | rover = [[Kevin Bartlett (Aussie Rules footballer)|Kevin Bartlett]] ''1965β83, 175 cm 71k,<br /> 403 games 778 goals'' | interchange1 = [[Des Rowe]] ''1946β57, 182 cm 83k,<br /> 175 games 24 goals'' | interchange2 = [[Geoff Raines]] ''1976β82, 180 cm 78k,<br /> 134 games 53 goals'' | interchange3 = [[Ian Stewart (Australian rules footballer)|Ian Stewart]] * ''1971β75, 180 cm 78k,<br /> 78 games 55 goals'' | interchange5 = | interchange6 = | coach = [[Tom Hafey]] ''Coached 248 games β Won 173, lost 73, Drawn 2''}} ===Australian Football Hall of Fame members=== As legends of the game: *[[Jack Dyer]] (inaugural "Legend") *[[Kevin Bartlett (Aussie Rules footballer)|Kevin Bartlett]] *[[Ian Stewart (Australian rules footballer)|Ian Stewart]] *[[Royce Hart]] *[[Kevin Sheedy (Australian footballer)|Kevin Sheedy]] As players of the game: *[[Percy Bentley]] *[[Francis Bourke]] *[[Dan Minogue]] *[[Bill Morris (Australian rules footballer)|Bill Morris]] *[[Charlie Pannam (footballer, born 1874)|Charlie Pannam]] *[[Vic Thorp]] *[[Jack Titus]] *[[Dale Weightman]] *[[Roy Wright (footballer)|Roy Wright]] *[[Matthew Richardson (footballer)|Matthew Richardson]] *[[Maurice Rioli]] As coaches of the game: *[[Tom Hafey]] *[[Frank 'Checker' Hughes]] ===Richmond Hall of Fame=== The Richmond 'Hall of Fame' was created in 2002, with 24 inaugural inductees.

He was an extraordinary mark, a deadeye shot for goal, very courageous and, when the ball hit the ground, he swooped on it like a rover." |{{columns-list|colwidth=30em| * [[Vic Thorp]] * [[Bill Morris (Australian rules footballer)|Bill Morris]] * [[Ian Stewart (Australian rules footballer)|Ian Stewart]] * [[Kevin Bartlett (Australian rules footballer)|Kevin Bartlett]] * [[Dick Clay]] * [[Paul Sproule]] * [[Geoff Raines]] * [[Dale Weightman]] * [[Maurice Rioli]] }} |- !style="text-align:left;"|The Strong & the Bold |'''[[Jack Dyer]]''' "No player in the history of the game epitomises his club more than the man known as 'Captain Blood'. He struck fear into the hearts and minds of all opposition players during the 1930s and 40s. Was renowned for his bone-jarring shirtfronts, which left many an opponent bloodied, battered and bruised. He bled for the Tigers and expected his teammates to do likewise." |{{columns-list|colwidth=30em| * [[Basil McCormack]] * [[Percy Bentley]] * [[Max Oppy]] * [[Roger Dean (Australian rules footballer)|Roger Dean]] * [[Martin Bolger]] * [[Des Rowe]] * [[Matthew Richardson (Australian rules footballer)|Matthew Richardson]] * [[Kevin Sheedy (Australian footballer)|Kevin Sheedy]] * [[Francis Bourke]] }} |- !style="text-align:left;"|Defining Moment |'''Save Our Skins''' "On 15 August 1990, Richmond announced that it needed to raise $1 million by 31 October that year, or it would cease to exist. The Save Our Skins campaign was immediately established to keep the Tigers alive. With Club president [[Neville Crowe]] as the figurehead, the SOS campaign did exactly what it set out to achieve, raising the necessary funds to stave off the threat of extinction." |{{columns-list|colwidth=30em| * [[1908 VFL season|Joining The VFL]] * [[#Guernseys|The Sash]] * [[1920 VFL season|First Premiership]] * Eat 'Em Alive * [[Jack Dyer]]'s Debut * [[#Song|The Theme Song]] * [[1965 VFL season|Move to the MCG]] * [[Tommy Hafey]]'s Appointment As Coach * [[1967 VFL season|Breaking The Drought In '67]] }} |- !style="text-align:left;"|Servant of the Century |'''[[Graeme Richmond]]''' "Graeme Richmond filled a variety of important roles at Tigerland over more than 30 years of devoted service. He was a shrewd, ruthless administrator, who never wasted an opportunity that could benefit his beloved Tigers. His strength lay in his relentless persuasivenessβhe was a masterly recruiter and negotiator. And, as a speaker, arguably there have been none finer in league football history." |{{columns-list|colwidth=30em| * [[Charlie Callander]] * [[Charlie Priestley]] * [[Ray Dunn]] * Alan Schwab * [[Allan Cooke]] * [[Maurie Fleming]] * [[Neville Crowe]] * [[Alice Wills]] * Ian Wilson }} |- !style="text-align:left;"|Brave Act of the Century |'''[[Francis Bourke]]''' "Bourke collided with teammate [[Stephen Mount]] in a tense Round 21, 1980 clash with {{AFL NM}} at [[Arden Street Oval|Arden Street]] and had trouble seeing because of the blood streaming down his face. He was subsequently moved from full-back to the opposite end of the ground, where he immediately made his presence felt, taking a diving chest mark and slotting through a crucial goal." |{{columns-list|colwidth=30em| * [[Bill Burns (footballer)|Bill Burns]] * [[George Smeaton (footballer)|George Smeaton]] * [[Eric Moore (Australian rules footballer, born 1948)|Eric Moore]] * [[Francis Bourke]] * [[Royce Hart]] * [[Laurie Fowler]] * [[Robert Lamb (footballer)|Robert Lamb]] * [[Tony Free]] * [[Matthew Richardson (Australian rules footballer)|Matthew Richardson]] }} |- !style="text-align:left;"|Premiership of the Century |'''[[1967 VFL season|1967]]''' "Richmond, under coach [[Tommy Hafey]], finished the [[1967 VFL season|1967 home-and-away season]] on top. The Tigers disposed of [[Carlton Football Club|Carlton]] by 40 points in the second-semi, then faced up to a star-studded [[Geelong Football Club|Geelong]] combination in [[1967 VFL Grand Final|the Grand Final]]. At the end of a spectacular contest, Richmond had broken a 24-year premiership drought.

'Roachy' actually rose so high over a huge nest of Hawk players, he ended up making it a chest mark!" |{{columns-list|colwidth=30em| * [[Thomas O'Halloran (Australian footballer)|Thomas O'Halloran]] * [[Royce Hart]] * [[Malcolm Greenslade]] * [[Kevin Sheedy (Australian footballer)|Kevin Sheedy]] * [[Bryan Wood]] * [[Geoff Raines]] * [[Michael Mitchell (Australian rules footballer)|Michael Mitchell]] * [[David Bourke]] * [[Matthew Richardson (Australian rules footballer)|Matthew Richardson]] }} |- !style="text-align:left;"|Goal of the Century |'''[[Michael Mitchell (Australian rules footballer)|Michael Mitchell]]''' "The little Tiger excitement machine decided to take off on a bit of a trot during the team's final home-and-away match of the [[1990 AFL season|1990 season]], against [[Sydney Swans|Sydney]] at the [[Sydney Cricket Ground|SCG]]. After gathering the ball deep in defence, 'Mitch' took one bounce, then another, and then five more (seven in total), before calmly drilling home an incredibly inspirational goal." |{{columns-list|colwidth=30em| * [[John Ronaldson]] * [[Bill Barrot]] * [[Michael Roach (footballer)|Michael Roach]] * [[Kevin Bartlett (Australian rules footballer)|Kevin Bartlett]] * [[Jimmy Jess]] * [[Matthew Knights]] * [[Joel Bowden]] * [[Nathan G.
