The 3 of them are absolute stars.
We should be proud of our past and more importantly,now our future!
Cheers.

Roachy was a star, a better kick than Richo
But Richo has been Richmond for me whole last 15 years, whereas Roachy had so many good players around him to share the load
And the fact that swayed it for me was Roachy only ever laid 9 tackles in his career.
When you can't split them, you go to the stats lol

You're probably right
Just looking at, say, 1980, and taking a couple of examples from top goal kickers

Moncrief - 1 tackle
Roach - 0
KB (lol) - 0
Templeton - 0

It's either they didn't tackle or there are no reliable stats from back then

I still go with Richo because if Roach could kick, mark, comb his hair better than Richo, then Richo did remarkably well with the little God gave him!

The funny thing is Disco came to the club as a wingman and ended as a forward while Richo arrived as a forward and finished off as a wingman. Disco was the better forward close to goal and leading out because he was a reliable kick while Richo had the tank to play higher across half-forward and on the wing. Two completely different footballers. A better comparison for debate in say 5 years time will be who was the better full forward - Roach or Jack?

Agrre MT.

Answer is Jack.
Thinks like Ablett senior,can create from nothing(Roach needed delivery) and contrary to what i read,he's effing strong !!

What a cock sucker i was when i said he didn't have what it took. ::)

lol

I think you may find the tackle stats weren't tracked back then

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...
