Strange is one word for it

If you had Richo in Jack’s era and vice versa , it wouldn’t even be a discussion

Richo had a hectare on JR8

That’s a great debate - JR8 had the foot smarts, Richo the breathtaking athleticism but honestly reckon the man would have kicked 300 or 400 more had he played for Essendon or the Roos during that period so hard to disagree!

There is one reason for Richo not making my list.  It isn't really his fault, but, there's one thing that Richo didn't do that every other player on the list did ...  hands on buzzers ... go!

On the contrary he kept this club somewhat competitive and alive for 17 years, almost singlehandedly bringing people through the gates to watch him play because he gave us hope. To have the career he did in the sides he played in shows why so many have him behind only Dusty

I used my criteria to make MY list & you used yours to get a different list.  Problem?       :-\

Zero problem, your criteria is just a crock of poo if it's based on premiership players only. You stated it, I replied

Absolutely

Gary Ablett Snr must have been rubbish as well .. no top 10 lists for him

Poor old Plugger and Bobby Skilton .. no top 10 lists either

You would be hard pressed to find a Richmond supporter that doesn’t love The Flea

But better than a three time Norm Smith medalist and Brownlow winner ?
