Geelong’s crushing victory over Port Adelaide at Skilled Stadium last Sunday drew it level with Richmond and South Melbourne for the most consecutive home wins in league football history - 24.

Richmond achieved this remarkable feat at Punt Road Oval from Round 11, 1932 to Round 4 of the 1935 season.

Those “Tigers of Old” were a dominant lot in the competition, winning the 1932 premiership, finishing runner-up in 1933, and taking the flag again in 1934.

Several of the greatest players in Tigerland’s history were major contributors in that golden run of wins, including Jack Dyer, Jack Titus, Percy Bentley, Basil McCormack, Stan Judkins, Allan Geddes, Martin Bolger, Maurie Sheahan, Kevin O’Neill, Joe Murdoch, Ray Martin, Jack Baggott, Dick Harris and the Strang brothers (Doug and Gordon).

Punt Road Oval was a veritable Yellow and Black fortress back then, referred to by fans, foes, and the football writers of the day, alike, as “The Jungle”.
