Our draft pick history of total misses since 1986  :P

...............
Matthew Clarke (West Gambier)
...............

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 :banghead :banghead)
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


If this is the Matthew Clarke that went on to have a 15 year, 258 game career with Brisbane, Adelaide and St Kilda then he could go a bit too.  I know he was with our U19's before he went to Brisbane so I'm guessing it was the same Matthew Clarke.

MightyTiges- thanks for the effort of going to the list
I will add those tomorrow, along with several others I have received on PM.

- Matthew Clarke came to Richmond the same time as Nick Daffy and boarded at the Bartlett houses themselves whilst in the Under 19's!

Richmond U19's 1985 Premiership side



Too long ago (and I was a young kid at the time) to remember names so if anyone recognises any faces then post away.

Top row 6th from left is Simon Clarke who went on to play with Springvale.

Front row 5th from left is Ricky Jackson who played for Melbourne.

Jeff Hogg is 3rd from the right in the top row and Justin Pickering is sitting to our left of the coach Doug Searl (who should have coached the senior side a la Pagan at North but that's another RFC stuff-up story ::) )

Bill Higgins in the suit in the front row would be familiar as the RFC 'doorman' to those who went into the old traditional Northern stand changerooms after games in the late 90s.

Neville Weller (from Windsor-Zillmere, Qld) - 1976 Ressies

Leo Oprey (Oakleigh & Carlton) - Played Ressies before crossing to Oakleigh in 1930

Norman Le Brun (South Melbourne, Essendon, Collingwood, Carlton) - Unable to crack a senior game moved to South in 1929

Didn't Peter Schwab fill-in for a ressies game when he was assistant to Allan Jeans in 1992?

According to fullpointsfooty.net


Graham 'Polly' Farmer - At the end of the year (1955) he signed for Richmond, and actually crossed to Victoria in order to prepare for the 1956 season with the Tigers.  However, East Perth refused to clear him, and he was forced to return home.

Neil Conlan (New Town/Glenorchy, Devonport, Manuka, Belconnen) - on a couple of occasions during the 1950s he was 'signed' by Richmond.

SEN the other day were talking about footballers from Manangatang and they mentioned a Richmond player called Gerrard Malone(y)?

Apparently he was on the front or back page of the Sun/Herald-Sun when we recruited him and they made him dress like a stereotypical country folk with a hat on his head and with straw in his mouth. He supposedly never played a senior game for us. Anyone remember this?
