Oh yeah!!! Well done _RT_ I love reading about the players that played in those '30 GF's...characters all of them...and some could play footy as well!Maurie Sheahan
Originally from Ballarat, Sheahan was already twenty-three when he joined the Tigers, but his hard and tough defensive play transformed a team renowned for its attacking power in the 1920s into a rock-like defensive unit that defied the powerful attacks of Collingwood and later South Melbourne to make the Grand Final every year from 1931 to 1934 and have the meanest defence every year from 1932 to 1935.
Sheahan was a member of Richmond’s legendary "Three Musketeers" backline of Bolger, Sheahan and O'Neill. He played in the premiership teams of 1932 and 1934 as well as the losing Grand Final sides of 1929 and 1933.
In an incident that was remembered for decades after it occurred, Sheahan was famously penalised for time-wasting in the dying minutes of the close top-of-the-ladder South Melbourne–Richmond match in Round 8, 1933 after setting up to kick in after a behind with a place kick – despite the fact that time was off until the kick-in was executed. South Melbourne's subsequent goal narrowed the deficit to five points, but the final bell sounded soon afterwards and Richmond still won the game.
Injuries, however, affected Sheahan's career quite badly: he was kept out of seven games early in the 1931 season by a broken arm[3] and weight problems caused Sheahan to lose form so badly that he was actually omitted from the club’s two 1931 finals.He recovered well until 1936, when Richmond omitted Sheahan for the third game upon his announcement he would not play against Carlton in the fourth round due to his marriage. Sheahan never recovered his form and retired at the end of the season, but was awarded Life Membership of the Richmond Football Club in 1938 and went on to serve as the Club Secretary in 1939.

You have to understand that they were successful at the time and they would probably evolve with the game today. They were elite at their time bc of skill, smarts and raw ability.
I get that Phar Ace ...in their day they only had to beat the oppo...it's all you could ask of them...Of course, I get that entirely, and it is all relative for the era, but as footballers, their skills as we know them where inferior for a whole range of reasons. It is by no means an attempt to demean - just a statement of fact. In fact I also said some are out and out legends too - and Dan Minogue was one such player. It just makes it very hard to do a valid comparision is what I am really saying, especially after seeing some footage of game play of the era.

And some were giants and prolly with today's training prolly be even better giants...who really knows...but it's fun to wonder!

Richmond Hall Of Fame

He played in four straight senior Grand Finals from 1931 to 1934, winning the premiership in 1932 and 1934. He also played in Richmond's losing Grand Final side of 1940.
