BIOGRAPHY
Tony came to Richmond as a forward; however he developed into a rugged, straight-ahead back-pocket player. He also played some games as a ruck-over and half-forward. During his first three seasons, he struggled to gain regular senior selection and it wasn’t until 1967 that he found form and confidence.
He was a member of the 1967 Premiership side and awarded Life Membership in 1979. He was deputy vice captain in 1969, and actually led the team against St Kilda , when injuries prevented captain Roger Dean and vice captain Michael Patterson from playing. Tony won the most determined award in 1965.
After leaving Richmond he successfully coached VFA club Caulfield winning one Premiership . He rejoined Richmond as Reserves Coach in 1977and immediately met with success winning a Premiership in his first year and finishing third the following year. He was appointed Richmond Senior Coach in 1979and a year later coached Richmond to the 1980 Premiership. In, 1981 , he coached the Victorian Sate team against Western Australia. He coached in a similar fashion to the way he played and he demanded a high level of physical fitness. In all, he coached Richmond in 113 games for 53 wins, 1 draw and 59 losses.
After the 1981 season, he was relieved of the coaching position in favour of Francis Bourke. In 1982 he crossed to North Melbourne to serve on their selection committee. He then coached St Kilda in 1983, before moving back to Richmond to coach in 1986 and 1987. He has been Richmond’s Chairman of Selectors since 1995 after the resignation of Francis Bourke. Tony’s son, Nick , played with the Reserves in 1995 and was later drafted under the father-son rule . Away from football Tony is a Plumber.
