Early in the 2003 season, Chris Greenway sent me an e-mail with a story about Mark Chaffey. I thought it was awesome and it gave me an idea! Why not have more?! Chris was kind enough to continue to send write-ups all season and now he's into the second season of player reviews!! I'm hoping that other fans will chime in with more stories! I'm not looking for stats and a profile -- you can get that from The Richmond Football Club website. I'm looking for your stories, your opinions -- the fan's view of the players! Send 'em to me and I'll share them here! Click on the pictures below to begin!
 | Jay Schulz - 2005
I remember when the Tigers drafted young Schulz at number 12, there was a bit of a buzz, because it was felt that he did not really justify the high selection. Greg Miller explained it at the time as needing a bit of height. Continue reading...

 | Nathan Brown - 2004
Nathan Brown is an undoubted football talent in the prime of his career, unfortunately he has been best known for his off field and on field petulance which often result in tantrums that even Richo would be proud to call his own.Continue reading...

 | Kayne Pettifer - 2004
Kayne was taken in the top 10 in the draft some years ago, as he was from Kyabram he was even given number 8, previously worn by the great Dick Clay also from Kyabram.Continue reading...

 | Mark Chaffey - 2003
I'll say it here and now that I am a big Chaff fan. When we picked him up I was a little sceptical, this was a kid who had taken a year off to go to America. Continue reading...

 | Matthew Rogers - 2003
I didn't always have a problem with Rogers. In fact for the first few years of his career I was quite a fan. He moved across from S.A the same year as the ill fated Jamie 'Sticky' Tape. Continue reading...

 | Andrew Kellaway - 2003
Richmond selected Andy with pick no 70something that year in the draft. I was surprised that we were still able to get him at that point in the draft. Continue reading...

 | Rory Hilton - 2003
By 2001 Rory was a regular senior selection, he was versatile, able to play in attack, defence, midfield and even tag or go on the ball, he averaged a goal a game. Continue reading...
|
 | Ty Zantuck - 2003
Ty's first game was against Essendon and while we got belted the one good thing was that I thought we'd found a real goer in young Ty. The kid kept trying all afternoon and never dropped his head once. Continue reading...

 | Darren Gaspar - 2003
In 2000 and 2001 under the tutelage of a great old defender in Danny 'Spud' Frawley Gas improved out of sight and made all Australian and the Tigers built their backline around him. Continue reading...
|
 | Chris Newman - 2003
He's mid sized, quite powerfully built for his size, extremely courageous and smart. He may not always get a lot of possessions, but what he gets he uses. Continue reading...

 | Duncan Kellaway - 2003
Duncan Kellaway. He's had many names: Dunc, Killer, Kellaway I and The Glove. For me one word sums up Duncan Kellaway: Courage. The man is guts personified.Continue reading...

 | Greg Tivendale - 2003
I first remember seeing Tivers in 1998, he had just been promoted to the rookie list and it was late in the season. The first thing I thought when I saw him was winger. Continue reading...
|
 | Mark Coughlan - 2003
He's tough, hard, quick, smart hands and feet, loves a goal. He did so well that he polled highly on our best and fairest count even though he hadn't played more than half the games.Continue reading...
|
 | Brad Ottens - 2003
When he helped us to victory over Essendon in the first round 1998 I knew that I'd witnessed the birth of an exceptional player. Continue reading...

 | Joel Bowden - 2003
It wasn't until Joel arrived at Punt Rd that we had a regular senior selection with the name Bowden. He came of age against West Coast one night when he kicked 5 goals and broke his collarbone in the same match.Continue reading...

With love and thanks to my Aussie friends who give of their time
to encourage me, train me, and support me; and especially
to my mate Leigh, who is responsible for the initial brainwashing!!

That, my American friends, is what's known as a screamer! Or a speccie! Either way, it's Aussie Rules Football and it's a sensational sport!
