'Put your mouthguard in and enjoy the read.' - excerpt from The Hafey Years foreword, by 3AW Commentator Tim Lane No name so encapsulates the Richmond Football Club like Tommy Hafey. Through the rich 126-year history of the club, Hafey oversaw its most dominant era - four premierships in a stunning nine-season period that, to this day, represents the highwater mark of the proud Tigers. And it was not so much the winning of those 1967, '69, '73 & '74 premierships, but how they were won: Richmond became the most ruthless, feared and contentious football club of a generation. Behind it all lay the modest figure of Hafey, who inherited a club that had not even played finals football since 1947...within a decade, his name was deeply etched in club lore. Author Elliott Cartledge has captured every critical, pivotal and amusing moment of this decade, from the moment Hafey arrived as an untried League coach from Shepparton to his controversial sacking after season 1976.
