Only in a statistical sense could you argue that Wayne Campbell and Brad Ottens are in the top 50 players in the league. Not in a qualitative sense.

ROFLMFAOOOOOOO@Brad Ottens being the 16th best player in the league. Try 116th.

I am a believer of the saying "there are lies, damn lies and statistics."
Even so, there's no denying there are 6 Richmond players who know how to get the pill and are the foundations a team can be built around.
The excavations are underway, let's hope the builders are good and like major works.

OK call me biased but how come Ottens rates higher than Richo.  Otto might have got plenty of hit-outs but most of them went directly to the opposition so does it really count?  Well done to Joel.

The fact that Bowden and ottens were our two best....just makes me laugh.
