Roach & Taylor kick 10

[Rhino33]

Hi guys,

This is my first post on PRE and was wondering if anyone remembers when Roach & Taylor kicked 10 goals in a night game, I think it was a Escort cup agaist Clairmont.

Taylor kicked his 10 b4 half time while Roach was on the bench. After half time Roach came on and kicked 10.

If anyone has the tape of his game I am keen 2 purchase it? :hihi :hihi

I recall this game , in 1982 Richmond V Swan Districts both teams at the top of the ladder at the time, I believe Swan Districts were reluctant to bring over there full strength team in case of injury upsetting there premiership hopes, so they sent a largely reserve strength team, including a young Murray Rance(laterFootscray) who played quite a good game at CHB on David Cloke. I remember BT started at full forward but hurst his knee just after half time with the game already wrapped up,not sure how many he got but it WASNT 10. Roachie came on as a reserve and kicked about 10 in less than a half. It was amusing at the time. BUT Taylors injury never let him recover his early season form, when he was dominating. The final ironic twist is the tigers never selected him in the GF and lost to Carlton, while SwanDistricts went on to win the WAFL.
I dont know anyone who would want to see or own this game, it probably cost us a premiership.

Yeh, I remember that game.

It was a very big mismatch.

I think Taylor only kicked 4

Roach certainly kicked 10 in about a quarter and a half

Hi
For the record:
Richmond 33.16.214 defeated Swan Districts 4.4.28
Richmond won by 186 points, the most in a night game ever.
Richmond kicked 13.5.83 in the last quarter, the most in a night game ever.
Michael Roach kicked 10 goals. Taylor did not kick 10 goals in this match.

However, a little known fact, is the BRIAN TAYLOR is the first Richmond player ever to kick 10 goals in a premiership game at MCG.
