Jack was probably the smartest player on the field that day. Probably off it as well.
Great piece of play.

Most underrated player to wear yellow and black

Great piece of play.
Wayne Campbell.
Always seemed to live in Knighter's shadow & didn't get much love but was an excellent player during a period we weren't very excellent.
Little known fact he averaged 26 disposals in just his 2nd season of league footy.
Ultra consistent. We just didn't have enough quality across the board.

Campbell would've slotted in seamlessly to the 17-20 side.
A work colleague of mine is adamant to this day that under the laws of the game that was a throw.
Absolutely no prize whatsoever for guessing which team he goes for.
That angle is so good. It was a thing of beauty, football geniusI feel sorry for you, Streak.
Having to work with a moron.
Because it is a gif I have watched it over and over again and it is mesmerising

Sad to say have to work with quite a few.
Anthony Miles was awesome for us in those development years. Got sqeezed as we got better and his career tapered off, I felt bad for the lad.
And I'll bet he was quite happy with the Ablett "flick pass" that was described as amazing. But should have been called a throw.
Kane Lambert is the most underrated Richmond footballer ever. Imagine if Dangerflog had Kane's finals record let alone the amount of masssssive finals goals lambo kicked. Farce.
I played a bit of footy with Chris Pym, really good fella, terrific player at our level.
One day when I wasn't playing but watching from the other side of the fence at Phillip Island he took a mark inside the centre square and the siren went, for half-time from memory. He was a right foot kick but was I think carrying an injury to his right leg. So when kicking for distance he had to use his left foot. Left foot torp sailed through the middle near goal post high, I would say the man on the mark was at least 55 metres from the goal line. Of all the skills in footy, the ability to kick prodigious torps on the opposite foot would be just about the rarest I think.
One of my favourites was Billy Brown. No. 40.
Good rover but almost permanently consigned to the forward pocket because some bloke called Bartlett was our No. 1 rover (and we know how rarely he went looking for a spell).
Still, Billy got to chalk up 130 games, 2 premierships (if my memory hasn't yet evaporated).

Mitch was awesome, but frustrating at times. The number of times he use to grab the ball in the centre, take 4 bounces, get around half the oppo, and miss the goal from 30 out.
Fastest player I've seen.
Bones was important to those sides in the ‘70’s. I realised when reading Brilliance and Brutality (too young to appreciate it at the time) that so was Laurie Fowler and not just for cleaning up Nicholls in the ‘73 GF.
