The "Richmond Specialists" - present and past
- Thread starter Hungry
- Start date
Sooky Will Minson has made a bolt as a Richmond Specialist lately. An absolute dud who somehow looks 1st class against us. I actually thought he was half decent until I watched a couple of bulldogs games against other teams and i was flabbergasted at how bad he was.
Richmond Specialists suffer from yellow sash fever. A condition which makes ordinary players perform like seasoned guns when lining up against the tiges.

Both been nominated several times but +1 for Ben Graham (past) and Eddie Betts (present). Nathan Thompson...I reckon about 5 of his best 10 career games would've been against Richmond. Kicked 5 against us twice when he was washed up and playing for North!

Good call on Nathan Thompson.
Sav Rocca had some good games against us too...kicked 10 when playing for Collingwood and 8 when playing for North IIRC.
Fraser Brown kicked a few bags v us, Robert Scott seemed to lift,
the obvious G Ablett Snr 13 goals from a wing at the G including a few left foot torps on the run.... Tiger fans were in awe.

Will Minson looks like a 12 year old kid playing under 10s when he runs out against us.
Good pick on Houlihan, we have made Ryan look like a superstar many times. Not sure about Wood but most ruckmen seem to have a day out against us.
Good memory!

Magnificent work LTRTR, thanks for that.
Yes, Mitch Robinson is growing into an accomplished Richmond Specialist. Forgot about Ebert - he did well against us for a few years there.
How about these ones?
Leigh Harding (North) - in and out of the side his whole career, remember him carving us up.
Brad Miller (Melb) - yes our Brad played some blinders against us.

richo slotted 9 on him at the G when playin for the bummers so is hardly an RFC specialist.
my pick for dud who racks it up against us and only us = peter somerville, bloke used to always spark up against us and smash us in the middle
