Greg Tivendale

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greg Tivendale (born April 11, 1979) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

Recruited from Gippsland U18, Tivendale debuted in 1998 with the Richmond Tigers and was noted for talents including his long-kicking. Throughout his career his long-kicking has often been interspersed with inconsistency - on numerous occasions Tivendale makes several clangers, which has been frustrating for the numerous coaches Tivendale has played under.

He has been given another chance, some might say his last, for the AFL Season 2006 and has justified his place with several good games this year. He is also currently studying part-time for a Diploma of Building at Holmesglen Institute of TAFE.

In Round 20, 2006, as the Tigers beaten Carlton by 45 points, Tivendale was awarded the second Terry Wallace Medal for best afield in Richmond's tenth win for the season.
