INTRODUCTION<br />
To celebrate its <strong>2019</strong>/20 AFL Back-to-Back Premiership<br />
victories, <strong>Richmond</strong> Football Club commissioned renowned<br />
Sports Artist Jamie Cooper to create a significant artwork to<br />
commemorate this historic achievement. A great deal of hard<br />
work both on and off the field has gone into creating this<br />
defining era in the Club’s history and so, it was felt that<br />
it deserved to be immortalised in oils.<br />
In the artist’s own words:<br />
‘ For footballers of all levels the ultimate moment is when the final siren<br />
sounds in a Grand Final and the realisation of what has been achieved<br />
sinks in. Pure joy, relief and a lifetime dream come true are all rolled into<br />
one. Back-to-Back AFL <strong>Premierships</strong> are rare and the result of a lot of<br />
hard work from so many. I’ve attempted to distil two seasons, hundreds<br />
of thousands of collective hours from the whole Tiger family, fans,<br />
Club staff and the entire senior list, into the players from the two<br />
premiership teams and their emotions in THAT VERY MOMENT. Sifting<br />
through thousands of images, I’ve collated a scene that captures players<br />
in<br />
their own personal moments of triumph. The result, I hope is…<br />
… PURE TIGER JOY.’<br />

The following is a journey<br />
through the process, from<br />
the Artist’s creative viewpoint,<br />
the Club’s perspective plus<br />
many insights and feedback<br />
from the players themselves.<br />
