Triple Richmond premiership star Shane Edwards moved into equal seventh place on the Club’s all-time player games list with his appearance in the opening round match of the 2022 season against Carlton at the MCG.

It was Edwards’ 282^nd game for the Tigers, which is the same as Yellow and Black great Matthew Richardson.

“Richo” played his 282 games with the Club from 1993-2009, while Edwards debuted in 2007.

Meanwhile, Richmond’s former captain Trent Cotchin went past the games’ total of his captaincy predecessor Chris Newman in last Thursday night’s Round 1 encounter.

Cotchin, a three-time Tigers premiership skipper, has now played 269 games and is in 11^th place on the senior appearances list at Punt Road.
