The Richmond Tigers were established in 1885 and become the first Australian team of any code to attract more than 1 million supporters in a season in 1972. Despite being one of the more successful AFL clubs in history with 10 premierships, the Tigers nearly had to fold in 1990 due to financial restraints. Recent times however have seen the club stay above water financially, and under Damien Hardwick, the club will look to build toward future success.

Richmond down Crows by 22 points
by Steve Larkin - August 29th 2011 @ 7:02am
Richmond steamrolled Adelaide with a late flourish to log a 22-point AFL victory on Sunday as Tiger forward Tyrone Vickery kicked four goals in his side’s gutsy 17.19 (121) to 15.9 (99) triumph at AAMI Stadium. Richmond were 24 points down midway through the third quarter but, inspired by Dustin Martin and Jake King, kicked [...]

How to solve the AFL’s tanking problem
by Michael DiFabrizio - August 14th 2011 @ 2:45am
The AFL seem intent on removing priority picks as a way to end tanking, or the perception of tanking, as they put it. Many in the media are supportive of this approach, too. There’s just one problem – it’s not that simple. Firstly, because the priority pick system still has a place in the game. [...]

AFL tanking admissions threaten integrity
by Michael Filosi - August 8th 2011 @ 5:59am
For those who have long believed that the suits at AFL House are a bit too full of themselves, the events of the past week will only strengthen that viewpoint. What else can be made of the AFL’s refusal to concede that its competition has been compromised in the past by clubs not making genuine [...]

AFL clubs’ leadership groups getting out of hand
by Redb - February 10th 2012 @ 3:49am
I sat and watched a Fox Sports News segment on St Kilda’s captain and leadership group the other day just shaking my head. No less than eight players have been inducted into the Saints leadership group, with Nick Reiwoldt the captain. That’s almost half the bloody team, I thought. Strangely, none of the remaining leadership [...]
Who’s to blame for the Majak Daw beat-up?
by Michael DiFabrizio - February 9th 2012 @ 12:09pm
For a player who’s never played a game of senior AFL footy, North Melbourne rookie Majak Daw sure gets a lot of attention. He’s the first Sudanese-born player listed by an AFL club, so you can understand there’s some public interest there. But does he warrant the kind of attention the Herald Sun gave him [...]

AFL divisions are the way of the future
by timmy_morgs - February 9th 2012 @ 4:00am
In our society, the number 18 represents growth, responsibility and change and should be no different for the AFL on the birth of its 18th club. The AFL hopes that its venture into Greater Western Sydney will close the divide between AFL and NRL in NSW, but division is exactly what the AFL should be [...]
Crows changing, but will this AFL preview change your life?
by S120 - February 9th 2012 @ 3:53am
Having been a haphazard reader of The Roar over the last few years, I always presumed that my first published piece would be a cunning, searing and revolutionary work that the common man would not have the critical faculties to comprehend. I would show that I’m capable of thought in a manner not available to [...]
Federal Court has it wrong on sports broadcast copyright
by The Cattery - February 9th 2012 @ 3:51am
In a rare show of solidarity, AFL boss Andrew Demetriou and NRL boss David Gallop were photographed together yesterday walking through the corridors of power on Capital Hill. They had just finished lobbying both sides of the political divide about possible changes to the Copyright Act to combat the recent Federal Court decision allowing telecommunications [...]
AFL’s most hated club turns 120 years old
by Andrew Sutherland - February 9th 2012 @ 2:58am
This Sunday marks the 120th anniversary of Australia’s most famous sporting club. Unfortunately, Collingwood intends to celebrate it. As if supporters of other clubs haven’t had enough of hearing about Collingwood from its President. As if they haven’t had it up to here (I’m indicating somewhere above the head) reading double-page spreads about what Collingwood [...]
