Hitting the HEIGHTS! Who is the Dogs speccy king?

That's a pearler!

Cometti commentating too.

Love the Hargrave baulk.

Is that Skinner? #26?

Jones biggest problem was he ran underneath the ball as a forward a lot . Timing was out for about 1/2 a second , I wondered if it was his eyesight in the end.
Best thing that happened was he was he went back therefore the forward lead him to the ball he didnt have to time it . His closing speed and leap have been his strengths chasing a forward, of course 10 years of experience have helped as well.

I always thought your alias was in honour of his brother Jamie.

I remember his first goal round 1 1990 against St Kilda. He marked the ball on the outer flank Geelong road end. Went back and slotted it. I hadn't read or seen anything of him preseason. I think the following week he kicked 6 against Sydney. A star was born.

I was a ground attendant at the Geelong Rd end back in those days (a benefit of having a dad who worked at Footscray council) and happened to be standing next to the goal umpire as Chris was lining up. The umpy said to me "who's this?" I said "no idea. I'll have a look in my footy record"

As we watched the ball sail over our head I said "Chris Grant. He's only 16" The umpire signalled a goal, wavered the flags and then turned to me and said "I reckon you've found a decent player there.

The best mark I have ever seen in the tricolour is Jim Edmond. You just had to kick the ball near him and he'd mark it. Didn't matter how many players he had on him.

Oh god I remember Jim so well. Number 20, so bloody strong and you just felt he was the leader. Obviously the point to the temple to Gubby Allen the mainstream highlight.

The spray to Gubby Allen was a classic. One of the hilights of my time watching footy

Did Jim have about 6 goals at half time in a final and we still lost ?
I remember Delre having about 6 in a final at halftime and we lost that one as well .

Jim only played in the 85 series but didn't kick many goals.

But he starred in probably my favourite home and away game of all time.

Early 83 we played the tigers at the mcg. In 82 they were runners up while we won the wooden spoon.
In the first quarter we kicked 10 goals to zip to be 60 points up at quarter time. I think Jim had kicked 6!
We hung on to win by 2 points and Jim finished with 7.

Danny kicked 7 against Geelong in the 92 qualifying final. We were up at half time but got well beaten.

Ok I remember Jim having a huge half in a game then went quiet, that was the game .

It was ANZAC day 1983. 65 000 people. Unbelievable game.

Yes I was there. Was amazing game.

[Twodogs]

Richmond actually hit the front in the last quarter after coming from 10 goals down before we kicked the last couple of goals to win.

We had gone on a 4 game winning spree that included beating the top 3 teams from the year before (Carlton, Richmond and Hawthorn) even though we'd finished last. It's when we got our mojo back after some truly awful years in the late '70s and early '80s

Can we edit out Higgins?

Just had the 2016 gf on fox and Picken took an absolute hanger on the way down from a leap.
I do remember Wood taking a pearler in 2016 , not sure if it was the prelim.

Oh those were both amazing marks. Wood v GWS early in the Prelim and Liam when we were on a tear late in the GF.
