Why Does Bill Meaklim Still Matter to Richmond’s Memory?
Updated: Aug 30
The full RTSSG member feature, Bill Meaklim: One For The Record Books., starts with a set of facts worth putting back on the table.
Bill Meaklim spent decades recording Richmond, including 25 years as a club statistician and 15 as head statistician, across roughly 1,200 matches.
What disappears from a football club when the people who remember, record and verify its history are no longer there to correct the record?
How much of Richmond’s modern memory rests on work supporters rarely saw, and what obligation does the next generation inherit from custodians like Bill?
Is that actually the right way to read it? What changes when another piece of evidence is added? What would contradict the obvious explanation? Who or what does this put under pressure? What would Richmond need to prove next?
That is the member investigation. Read Bill Meaklim: One For The Record Books. for the evidence, the competing explanations and the conclusion RTSSG reached.
