Richmond players who never played Senior Football.

[rbartlett]

Evening all.

I thought it may interest you to know, that I am attempting to compile a list of all those players who played with Richmond Reserves, Under 19's or played in Practice Matches, or trained with the club, or were drafted to the club- BUT NEVER played a senior game for Richmond.

The idea has come to me after the numerous requests I receive (and the Richmond museum), that their 'uncle' , 'grand father' played for Richmond, only to find it wasn't a senior team at Richmond.

So I thought i would put the list out there, and see if anyone wish to add to the list.
Feel free to submit names on this thread if thats ok.
At the moment the list is at 317 names.

Richard Senior and his brother played in 2nds premierships but never for the 1sts.

From memory Dr Richard Senior left when Francis Bourke was coach.

Rhett.

 Paul  Dimattina was on Richmond seniors list and never played a senior game

[rbartlett]

Jackster- Funnily enough I did a double take when I started compiling the list. But there was a Frank Dimattina on our list in 1997. I think it was Frankie Dimattina , who is one of Frank's three sons (the others being Paul and Andrew).  I did miss Paul off my list however so I will add him now.

Ekto- I will add Richard Senior as well thank you. Do you know his brothers name.

That brings the list to around 315 names

Sorry Rhett, I wrongly read it
Frankie Jnr played at Richmond reserves actually.
He played against Stephen Milne when he played at Essendon in a Monday night reserves game at Waverley.
Frankie got 4 weeks for striking Milne. lol
Frankie was a really good player, size was the issue.
I remember his kicking for goals in  pre season game at Sandringham. Would say mid 90,s as Scott Turner was playing

Bit of Trivia here Rhett.
Frank has four sons, his youngest Nick plays for Old X- VAFA , along side Tim Fleming.
Grand Final this weekend I think.
Nick was on Collingwoods VFL list last year.

How could I forget Nick Dimattina- Frankie and Andrew and I use to terrorise him at their restaurant on a Saturday night.

Keep the names coming mate. We are up to 339 names.
And I am yet to scour through my 1960-1970s records

Did Andrew Payze who played for the Crows in their first season(s) ever end up on our actual list?

I know he was drafted but didn't come across the border (like so many before him)

Not sure WP. I've included the South Aussies who never came over as I guess technically they were on our list. Rhett can decide if he wants to include them or not.

Out of the above list, I will nominate who could actually play, but for reasons didnt play at RFC.

Andrew Tarpey  ( was never the same due to a head injury, was a gun player)
Paul Dimattina   ( 150 game at the Western Bulldogs - enough said- they actually picked Mark Pitura over him )
David O'Sullivan  -Went on to kick over 100 goals for 8 years straight in Country and Suburban Footy, needed someone at Punt Rd to get him fit
