Talk:Richmond Football Club

"Richmond Cricketers" football team is a modern invention
The name Richmond Cricketers is a name made up during recent years, possibly by Graeme Atkinson for his book "Everything You Wanted To Know About Australian Rules", published in 1982. If you read the early history of the game you will see that there was no champion team in 1858, and in the following few years there was no ladder, no trophy, no league or organisation, just a number of groups of men playing against each other, the most important of which was Melbourne FC, which framed the original rules in 1859. One of these groups went under the name "Richmond" and in the 1920s, HCA Harrison claimed to have captained them in the early days. Sometime in the early 1860s, Richmond disappears from newspaper reports as a senior team and it wasn't until the present club was founded in 1885 that Richmond FC's history commences. I believe that during recent times, someone has labelled the original group "Richmond Cricketers" to distinguish them from the current club. Respected football historians such as Blainey, Mancini, Hibbins, Hess, Stewart, Turner and Sandercock etc. do not mention a Richmond Cricketers team. This section should have been left as originally written. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.101.141.161 (talk) 07:56, 11 May 2007 (UTC).

"Big Four"
Use of the term "Big Four" is highly controversial and should be revised. It lacks neutrality. It could be argued with equal lack of neutrality that the "Big Four" is really the "Big Three" and Richmond. Given Richmond have been arguably the least successful side in the competition since 1982, this is highly controversial —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.91.32.144 (talk) 09:40, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Proposed Mick Malthouse picture
I'm bringing this here because it's one of the clubs Mick has been associated with. I'm just seeking a few more views on a discussion underway about an image an editor has proposed for the article. See the article history and the Tak page. HiLo48 (talk) 03:15, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Nickname
Is it worth having a separate chapter on the main Richmond Football Club page titled Nickname (or something to that effect). Atm, the information pertaining to club's monikers over the century - Richmondite, Wasps, Tigers, is up in the VFA section of the article, and I think it would be better if it was branched out into its own heading (and hence part of the content, much like the 'Song' chapter), as there's quite a bit of information and citation I would like to post without expanding the existing 1800s section.
