The fact that Weightman isn't an option in this poll is a disgrace.

Rory Hilton owns a crunch ball lads, does Francis Bourke   ;D
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

Rance is definite one of the most courageous I've seen ever at Richmond. Guy is fearless.

Bourke's the only legitimate answer - arguably the most courageous player in the history of the game let alone just at Richmond - between him, Jonathan Brown & Robbie Flower.

Bourkey by a long shot. Not only tough as teak but a true gentleman of the game.

Yeah, its Bourkey by a long way ... no question.  It was the broken legs & not the face gash at Arden St that were his most courageous acts.   
But I only need to think of the 19yo Alex Rance with a badly swollen face, full of metal plates & screws, stepping up & pulling on a jumper when we needed him to that proves Bourke isn't the only one at Richmond to ever have extraordinary courage.  The hardened veteran Bourke needed some stitches & running repairs at Arden St when he played on, but the 19yo Rance needed a whole new cheek bone & eye socket when he stood up for us just 2 weeks after the surgery!  Standing ovation!  :clapping
 
Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!  Loud, proud & dangerous!
