Next RFC poll asks for the shrewdest players at Richmond over the past half-century.
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2014-11-20/the-perfect-tiger-football-smarts
So who had the best ever footy smarts at Tigerland?
-
WTF ?
KB by a country mile !
None of those players make my top 20 apart from Weightman but then I also didn't vote for KB in the ball magnet thread and I saw a lot of his career. Are you a ball magnet when your team mates feed u the ball all day ? Nope , Wayne Campbell was quite clearly more of a ball magnet than KB but.... footy smarts is definitely KB and by a long way.
If there was a sniff of a goal he knew exactly where to go to receive the handball so that he could kick the goal himself and his ability to use his smarts to crumb a pack so that he could have a shot for goal was amazing.

KB can't win every Poll. Brodders by a Nullabor Kilometer. Crafty as they come and always knew where to be and where to get the footy to.

Tom Hafey

To not have KB on this list is quite ridiculous.
This whole perfect tiger thing is to put it bluntly, dumb!!!
-
I voted for Brodders. Never wasted a possession and every time he had the ball in had he put it to advantage. :clapping
-
Tom Hafey is a great call for a non-player with footysmarts by the shed load!
But of the players - its KB again! Was so smart with holding the man/ball they had to change the rules! He had all types of smarts - uncanny anticipation, lightning fast thinker with a freakish sixth sense for a goal. Best crumber off the pack at full speed that I've ever seen & that just screams footysmarts!
All hail the little master! :bow
Special mentions for Maurice Rioli & Flea. Kevin Sheedy is still smarter than the smartest fox. Second only to Hafey. ;D

Actually shady Sheedy is a great call! He should have been on the list!

Campbo had a good footy brain

Well I guess we know who you will be voting for once the "Richmond's Softest Footballer" poll is put up. ;D
-
Angus Graham.
Have to say I agree with this.
-
Is there going to be a poll for the player with the least football smarts ever at Richmond? Dare say there'd be a fair few candidates - maybe even the odd B&F winner....

Angus Graham.

I think I am having a full body cramp

Ha ! No we've had a lot worse than him. In fact that would be a really tough poll to vote on. Houli and Tivendale would be the early favorites. Stevan Jackson , Todd Bremen , Stephen O'Dwyer , Clay Sampson , Richard Tambling , Leon Cameron , Michael Mitchell , Shaun Grigg , Mark Merenda , Nathan Bower , Ty Zantuck , Stuart Wigney....... Aah I can't be bothered going on.
No wonder we've been crap for ever.
