All the Richmond toys are named for players (past & present), Jack is the original toy, named for this guy Captain Blood (Jack Dyer)
A number of years ago the licensing part of the AFL did bears for each of the clubs that sings their team song when the paw is pressed. No relation to the animal / thing that is the symbol of the club, of course!
Then there's Dusty (Dustin) the Dog, named for this bloke Dustin Martin - he looks very scary/intimidating in the photos, but seems to be a lovely bloke in general.
And then there's Daniel the Duck - I named him for my favourite Tigers player (he also wears my lucky number
) Daniel Rioli
And finally the newest member that we got in Tasmania, a small bear with a handknitted (not by me) outfit. He was nameless until a week ago, when I decided to call him after an underrated player (he doesn't do the "kicky-thing" - he defends against the other side's players doing the "kicky thing") Bachar Houli Coincidentally, he used to play for the team I support, but we got rid og him because he "wasn't good enough" - something we probably regret now 
It's all very ecxiting in the house this week - I hope Daisy works out what's happening before Saturday
