I wish my AFL career had been as fulfilling as Towner's, Timbo. My stats are 0 times on an AFL list for 0 games, 0 goals, 0 kicks and 0 GF appearances, 0 premiership medals, and 0 life memberships. Other than that, not too shabby.
Absolutely, right place, right time, and had the best month of footy in his life. Until Marlion Pickett this year, the best 'Boys Own Annual' story I've seen at the footy club.
Whatever the future holds for Towner, he will forever be etched in RFC folklore.
And his smiling visage will always look down on me in the poolroom with 21 other legends who broke a drought and started a dynasty.

Jacob Townsend is the most admired and loved VFL footballer for RFC by a country mile. If another club will give him an AFL game then go with my blessing. If not then can RFC please pay him to be a VFL leader for us. I want all our junior footballers to play with his work ethic and his mongrel.
If Menadue had Jacob Townsend or Kamdyn McIntosh's intensity and mongrel then we would not be talking about a possible trade to Freo. Ellis from last year is another who needed to get his guernsey dirty with his blood or that of his opponent. Sometimes football isn't art. It isn't all spectacular blind turns in grand finals. Sometimes it is like Baker - taking a nasty hit without batting an eyelid but doing it with a smile. Get up get the free and get on with it.

Great idea Easy. The added benefit is that he is not in hurting distance of our young blokes while playing in the NEAFL

Amen to that.
Will always be remembered with affection by all who struggled through 37 years of taking crap.
Good luck to Jacob wherever life takes him.
The personification of the Richmond Man!

He will never be forgotten by those of us who despaired that we would never see another Premiership.
Good luck to him.
Harsh to delist a life member. All the delistings would've got more opportunity in another Richmond era.
Forever fondly remembered.
