The "Richmond Specialists" - present and past

[Joe Lynn Turnip]

Isn't the point of this thread to name blokes who only seem to get up for us but are hacks otherwise? Because pretty much every gun of the last three decades has torn us apart over the years: Carey, McCleod....even half decent players like Gehrig.

Lance Whitnall.

Josh Fraser.

Tom Hawkins.

 

[Hungry]

Ablett Snr by a street - he always woke up with the sunshine beaming out his backside when he knew he would be playing us on the G

Dunstall in a close second (still hate the day he kicked 17 on us)

Absolutely. And Lockett - didn't he once say he "bars up at the thought of playing Richmond", or is that just a footy forum rumour?

But these guys were champs. How about some of the "chumps" who looked top-shelf for those 120 minutes they played Richmond each year?

Peter Matera used to get beaten by Nathan Bower every time they played.
I still can't work out how. :headscratch

 

[Bowerpower]

Brad the worst captain ever Green ........ minus last week thou, but still could have snagged a few if he kicked straight in a quater in a half

 

[jb03]

Yep I was thinking Ben Graham.

Yeah him for sure. LOL at Frawley after Graham had kicked another half dozed saying "who would have thought that Graham would do that", despite Graham doing exactly that in pretty much all previous games against us.

 

[GEDS1]

Bower beat me to it we always suffered at the hands of Green

 

[Hungry]

Lance Whitnall.

Josh Fraser.

Tom Hawkins.

Don't remember Fraser doing much but Whitnall made us look like amateurs on a regular basis. Hawkins possibly an emerging Richmond Specialist

 

[Whacker]

The one that did it for years and years was Corey Jones from North. I don't how many times he kicked a bagful against us but it seems to be every year for 6 - 8 years and then he would be dropped with 3 - 4 games after playing us!

 

[casper68]

how many first gamers have looked great against us and then hardly heard from again

Good one Whacker, Jones had a touch of the "Wayne Careys" when - and only when - he played us!

Yeah I was thinking of the GC game with Fraser. And yes I suspect Hawkins is a future serial Tiger antagonist. His game against us this year was probably close to the best of his career so far.(maybe we should try and trade for him purely as a preventative measure ;D)

Think the Bower Bird must have pecked Matera's shiny gold nuggets or something. Matera used to get harassed to the point of explosion regularly by Nathan, it was usually the only highlight of the day for us.

 

[RICHO_12]

#1 and no doubt Corey Jones........
Absolute Spid although against us even when his career was over dropped 7 on us
Ultimate Spud was Jones

 

[shamekha]

Im actually starting to see a trend of form from Jurrah

 

[RFC not KFC]

G. Ablett senior
J. Dunstall
Any other full forward from the 1980's/1990's.

Paul Barnard also loved us.

Gary Ablett Snr. 20 career games vs Richmond 117 goals. 5.85 per game over 14 seasons.

[bowden4president]

Hungry it is bleeding obvious so maybe no in the spirit of the thread S. MILNE & E. BETTS

they're the first two I thought of as well !

 

[Tiger Ghost]

Ablett Snr by a mile

For someone a little different David King, we could always run him into form

 

[Tigerdog]

Kepler Bradley
Earl Spalding
Anyone with Houlihan as a surname
Cameron Wood
Cameron Thurley
Will Minson
David Calthorpe
Adrian Whitehead

And I'd throw in J Farmer..a bit of a pattern emerging here.
