Ranking Our Champions

ROFLFMAOOooooooooooooooooo!
 
Anal Rhettentive is at it again with the totally uninteresting coincidences.

"It would remiss to not mention a remarkable connection between these three men . . . Jack Titus coached Kevin Bartlett in 1965, during Len Smith's absence following a heart attack. Kevin Bartlett then coached Michael Roach in his last season as a Richmond player. Michael Roach's son, Thomas, is a member of the current Tigers playing list, and a teammate of Matthew Richardson."

lmfaooooo@ this being a remarkable connection.

i wonder if the lad is a numerologist.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A remarkable connection indeed,yet not as remarkable as the connection that led to his conception.

"Bob Jones coached Bill Jans.
Bill Jans had a kid that rooted his cousin that was the daughter of Tom Jackson.
Tom Jackson was a garbage collector from morwell that used to watch KB play in juniors"

Another amazing connection.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Haven't seen much of Rhett's influence on the RFC Website of late. Is he still writing articles for them or has his schedule been filled with  his website about famous last lines of movies taking off?

I've heard he's working on a new angle.

This ones goes after the second line spoken, after the first principal female lead has established her position within the plot,

lmfaoooo@the latest reason for KB not wanting to come back to Tigerland being that Rhett is there.

His goal kicking from set shots was superb and as Nathan Brown has said, if he was leading for the mark and the ball could be in any player's hands in the team he would want it to be Campbell, becuase he is a great kick and makes the right decisions.

Agree on his goal kicking - especially when he was Captain. Remember a few games where you could see the resolve "I must kick this" - it was one his great strengths IMO

Without doubt he was the most footy smart Tiger player of his time. His main asset was his uncanny ability to find the footy. Even as a hack coming off the bench he can still gather 17 or 18 touches a game playing little more than half of it. He just knows where to position himself to find the Sherrin. He jsut thinks one step ahead of most players and is tremendously alert.

I have said this many times this season he is clearly our "smartest" player in 2005. We are certainly going to miss his Footy smarts in a major way I reckon

In search of the Tigers’ September superstars

With the sweet smell of September in the air, Miles Wilks set about the task of rating Richmond’s greatest finals players over the past half-century . . .

To unearth Richmond’s best players in finals from the past 50 years, I set about collating all the best-on-ground votes from the newspaper panels that covered the Tigers’ September (and the odd October) appearances.

A voting system was utilised in which three votes were given to the player deemed as Richmond’s best player in a final, two votes to the second best and one to the third best player.

Due to the increased importance of Grand Finals, votes in these matches were awarded at double the rate of the other finals.

The votes were obtained from the writers at ‘The Age’ newspaper and when this paper didn’t award best-on-ground votes, ‘The Sun’ newspaper was used.

Here are the results, followed by an in-depth summary of each player’s September exploits . . .

Richmond’s greatest players in finals over the past half-century

Bartlett 38 votes
Hart 18 votes
Bourke 16 votes
Sheedy 16 votes
Barrot 12 votes

Is Richo one of Richmond's greatest?

Richo a champion of the game
By Matt Burgan

WE ALL know Matthew Richardson is a flawed hero.

His kicking for goal can be wayward. He shows his emotions on the field, sometimes when he shouldn’t. But in case we had forgotten, on Saturday night we were reminded that Richardson is a champion – of the Richmond Football Club, and of the game.

712 goals from 243 games.

For all of his accolades – 11 times Richmond's leading goalkicker, twice All-Australian and four times runner-up in the club's best-and-fairest award – Saturday’s effort will surely be ranked among his finest achievements.

He is one of Richmond’s greatest.
