As a bit of off-season fun, any OERites like to take a stab at their all-time top 10?

[tigs2011]

If Tambling and Meyer aren't in it I will rage. 

[Coach]

So this list will basically be our best 10 players since 86 or so? May have a stab later on

Yep the best 10 since the first draft in 1986.

[tiga]

I wonder if it is all drafts or just the National Draft. Foley was a rookie and Grimes came to us via PSD. Both better than the likes of Fiona and Tambo.

Mine.

nb. I only included Tigers picked up only with picks in the National draft and having never played an AFL game before we drafted them and who played all their AFL games with Richmond.

1. Wayne Campbell (pick 29, 1989) ...... 297 games, captain, All-Australian, 4 B&Fs
2. Trent Cotchin  (pick 2, 2007)  ..........  86* games, soon to be the new captain, All-Australian, 2 B&Fs with still most of his footy career ahead of him at just 22 y.o.
3. Brett Deledio (pick 1, 2004) ............ 172* games, All-Australian, 2 B&Fs, Rising star 2005 in debut year, and only half-way through his footy career.
4. Chris Newman (pick 55, 2000) ........ 214* games, captain
5. Brendon Gale (pick 27, 1987) .......... 244 games, off-field star as CEO
6. Jack Riewoldt (pick 13, 2006) ........... 112* games, Dual Coleman medallist, All-Australian, 1 B&F, 3 times club leading goalkicker. Still only 24 y.o.
7. Andrew Kellaway (pick 71, 1997) .....  172 games, All-Australian, 1 B&F. Not bad for a guy selected at pick 71 and off our then supplementary list.
8. Matthew Rogers (pick 37, 1992) ...... 197 games. Club leading goalkicker 2000. A smart underrated footballer.
9. Nick Daffy (pick 49, 1990) ................ 165 games. 1 B&F, Club leading goalkicker 1995.
10. Shane Tuck (pick 73, 2003) .............. 162* games. Like Kellaway a very late pick who has become a life club member.

Richo doesn't get in?

no Richo or Bowden????

[Coach]

Am guessing MT didn't include father sons

[Mr Magic]

Ottens 

[mightytiges]

Otto only had one good year at Richmond in 2001 so I didn't include him. Played his best footy at Geelong picking up a couple of flags along the way.

Mine.

As Coach rightly called, I didn't include either Richo nor Joel Bowden as they were Father-Sons in the days when Father-Sons were automatically recruited by the club their dad played out. They weren't then picked up in the National draft with any designated pick unlike nowdays.

[WilliamPowell]

Am guessing MT didn't include father sons

Criteria on the RFC site is they are not including F/S selections 

We haven’t included those players taken by the Tigers under the league’s father-son ruling, or in the now-defunct mid-season draft, still-functional pre-season or rookie draft.
