Reading the J. Brown thread with interest and Daniel/Bentleigh's posts have piqued my curiosity. Who is the best player you have seen in your lifetime (a) in the league and (b) for Richmond? Rule is only 1 pick for each, I'm not interested in him and him and him from him and him and him - you only get 1 crack at the title. Mine are:
C. Judd
K. Bartlett
-
G. Ablett snr
D."the flea" Wieghtman
-
I.Stewart

gee Smokey how l'm gunna cram all the good players l seen in my lifetime into 1 player
l thought you would have said Greg Williams seeing you couldnot catch him ;D :thumbsup
growing up the style & pace of the game has changed so much
l have some favorites but my best would be Robert Harvey St-Kilda because l spent 20 years of my 43 watching him.
He works hard off the ground as he does on it, overcome injuries & dual Brownlow Medallist & can still be damaging.
great family man who never put himself first before the club he played for :clapping
No doubt at all about Richmond best player was Kevin Bartlett in my era & today, l never seen anyone ever read the game from packs like him & sprint away in a era where fitness was not at a strict athletic standard. He had fish & chips every friday night, well most families did in them days it was a highlight of the week. Games were on every Saturday, You never had to worry about him over useing the ball cause he never give it to anyone & he kicked the goals you wanted him too which earned him the tag of Hungry ;D
He has given back to football what he got out of it, which makes me admire the man of his achievements in life. Great Champion :bow

James Hird (yes I know but he had the best football brain that Ive seen) and for the Tigers probably
Kevin Bartlett (although I was born in 1974 and most of his best work was late 60's early 70's....

Peter Hudson
Royce Hart

Best I've actually seen Ablett snr, Keith Grieg, Robbie Flower - The later 2 just 2 who I remember as mesmerising.
Ablett an obvious choice for most, the others just stick in my memory.

A) Darren Jarman
B) KB

Ablett Snr, especially when he played us! James Hird would have to be floating around there also. K.B. pretty close and, Plugger dare i say it!
