This pre-season we are giving Richmond members and supporters the opportunity to team up with your favourite Tiger for the chance to win $10,000.
The Classic will see all 43 Richmond AFL players face off against each other in a tournament-style, set-shot competition to determine the best kick for goal at Tigerland.
Each player on the 2024 AFL list will be kicking on behalf of an assigned fan, who have been randomly allocated from all registrations made before Monday, January 29.
The lucky fans of the 43 players will receive a Sherrin signed by their player, and the chance for their representative to win them the $10,000 first prize, or $500 for second.
COMPETITION RULES:
• During the period of Monday, February 5 and Friday, March 1, there will be five rounds of goalkicking competition, involving each of the 43 AFL players on the list.
• Each ‘match’ will be selected at random, with the players that are selected to kick on each fans behalf previously communicated.
• There will be five kicking stations staggered inside the 50m arc. If a player has a clear lead after three kicks, they will be deemed the winner. If the scores are still level, it will include a fourth and fifth kick.
• The loser of each round be knocked out fo the competition.
• Winning players will continue to be selected to face each other ahead of each round until the competition’s conclusion.
• If a player is unable to take their place in the competition due to injury, they will select an assistant coach to kick for their allocated fan instead.
