Which Tiger player(s) do you wish we saw more of in yellow and black?


The player from all 18 clubs we wished we saw more of

So often we see the career of a highly talented player cut short.

Whether it be because of injuries, bad luck, lack of opportunity or other circumstances, there are certain players we wished we got to see more of.

We've identified one player from each club from the year 2000 onwards who played less than 100 games, but would have played more in different circumstances.

RICHMOND - Mark Coughlan

Coughlan was a midfielder who possessed both smooth-moving ability and hard-nosed qualities. He was as comfortable cruising past for a handball receive as he was getting down and dirty under a pack. He had played just 21 games before his breakout season in 2003 which saw him claim Richmond’s best and fairest while polling 16 Brownlow votes. Coughlan’s 2004 was derailed by osteitis pubis before he returned to his best in 2005. From then on, however, it was all downhill as his career was completely ravaged by ACL and hamstring injuries. Richmond fans often bring up Coughlan and just how good he was during his 92-game career and how much the club missed him in the aftermath.
