Think we all have a good 'un here...With selection # 175, the PB74's select JIMMY SMITH
132 Games, 40 Goals, played between 1917-1926, 2 time premiership player
James was a champion half-back-flanker who was fearless in his desire to win the ball.
He was recruited from the Yarra Park school where he had been a fine all-round athlete. Tough and steady rather than flashy he read the play well.
He originally came to Richmond as a forward, however it didn't take him long to find his feet as a half-back and was one of the star performers during the club's first successful Finals era.
He was a member of the 1920 and 1921 Premiership sides and the 1919 Grand Final side. Playing in 11 Finals games for Richmond he was voted in the best three players - five times.
He was Richmond's best player in the 1924 Final against eventual Premiers Essendon and the 1919 Grand Final.
He spent a total of 10 seasons with Richmond and represented Victoria five times. James was awarded Life Membership in 1926. He also served on the Richmond Committee between 1927 and 1931. Born and bred in Richmond he died in 1974.

PLAYERCARDEND
Edmond led Richmond in 101 games - a club record that lasted for 30 years until Percy Bentley in 1937.
During his captaincy tenure at Tigerland, Richmond finished the Home and Away ladder as followed:
1901 Season - 2nd place on H+A ladder. No Grand Final was held that year.
1902 Season - 1st player on H+A ladder. Premiers for finishing on top. No Grand Final was held.
1903 Season - 1st place on H+A ladder, but lost Grand Final to North Melbourne.
1904 Season - 1st place on H+A ladder, but forfeited the Grand Final against North Melbourne.
1905 Season - 2nd place on H+A ladder. Premiers, defeated North Melbourne in Grand Final.
1906 Season - 2nd place on H+A ladder. Lost in the Semi Final to Footscray.
1907 Season - 2nd place on H+A ladder. Lost in the Semi Final to West Melbourne.
Three particular seasons are worth noting.
In 1902, Richmond won 15 games and lost only 1.
In 1903, under his captaincy, Richmond won 15 consecutive matches between Rd 3 and Rd 17. It is an achievement not yet surpassed in our seniors history.
In the 1904 season, Richmond forfeited playing the 1904 Grand Final due to the umpire who was appointed to the match.
His brother Bruce played for Richmond in 1904, and another brother Jack played in 1900.
Alec died in 1950, The Age newspaper called him "a star for Richmond."
In 2007 he was posthumously inducted into the Richmond Football Club Hall of Fame.

Pick 176 - Henry Colden Antill Harrison
View attachment 1297747
I stumbled upon this pick during my own thorough research of the history of the game. I am not making this pick to appease any other big footy posters.
Harrison didn't play a lot of games for the Tigers but he was captain for Richmond, Melbourne and Geelong. Things were different back then and the records are sketchy anyway. It's a significant footy story and it is astounding - farcical even - that he is still on the board. Harrison is a member of the Sport Australia Hall of Fame for god's sake!
Henry Colden Harrison | Sport Australia Hall of Fame
Henry Colden Antill Harrison was born in Picton, NSW, however due to his fathers poor health they eventually moved to Melbourne in 1850 where he was able to complete his formal education. He also spent time on the Ballarat and Bendigo gold diggings. Towards the end of 1853 he commenced...sahof.org.au
Like his cousin Tom Wills, Harrison is sometimes credited as being a "founding father" of the sport but there is not much actual evidence of his direct involvement in the creation of the game and it's initial rules in those first few years.
Don't be deceived by the button down fashion, this guy was an athletic beast! He was an exceptional sprinter and hurdler and "at 179cm and 80kg, he possessed a fine physique...superb fitness and was highly durable. His fearless approach to the ball, long kicking, and enthusiasm for running with the ball made him an exceptional player." -SAHOF
He was so fast in fact that - as a member of the bourgeoning rules of the game committee in the 1860s - he had to introduce the running bounce rule just to curtail his own dominance! The definition of sportsmanship and the exact opposite of moves made by Steve Hocking's rules of the game committee.
Harrison received special mention by the visiting Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 1921 in relation to this matter:
“I was delighted to meet Mr H. C. A. Harrison, who, I believe, is the father of the Australian game”, Sir Arthur concluded, “and I thought it was very sporting of him, as the fastest runner of his day, to introduce the bouncing rule, which robbed him of his advantage."
Not sure how the indigenous boys in my team or the Korin Gamadji Insititute will feel about this inclusion but it is a great opportunity for some meaningful reconciliation. He is described as a "man of his times" so discussions about Australian History would certainly be heated if they ever arose in the dressing room. His writings from the time do mention encounters with local Wurundjeri people and it is quite possible he saw them playing Marn Grook, but no direct credit is given.

As a non-football aside, this fantastic podcast episode may be interesting to some. It is the story of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's friendship and then feud with the escape artist, illusionist and stunt performer Harry Houdini. They were both greatly interested in "spiritualism" but their relationship with it began to diverge dramatically. Doyle's position is quite surprising considering he is the creator of one of the great rational thinking characters in fiction.

Your post did him justice Richard, well done.
How on earth this legend slipped to you at pick 176 is beyond my comprehension. It would probably be like picking John, Luke, Matthew and all the other other disciples amongst about 150 every day followers and a dozen or so assorted heathens ahead of Jesus in the all time great Christians line-up.
I didn’t want to make a mountain out of an Antill but something had to be said to shake this thread out of its lethargy.
I'd reckon it was due to the fact that most of us we're only considering players who'd played for Richmond in the VFL/AFL era.
Also, considering Henry Colden Antill Harrison didn't play in the "Yellow & Black" as spelt out in the OP, I reckon he may not even qualify for this haha
Richmond wore Blue & Yellow up until 1886!
Oh, man! You stole my guy! I thought I had him hidden away perfectly!
Was going to pick him, missed out, states it’s interesting picking a guy that retired before formation of club. You only had 20 chances to nab him tooInteresting though picking a guy who retired in 1872 for a club that was founded in 1885.
I stand by my comments.Was going to pick him, missed out, states it’s interesting picking a guy that retired before formation of club. You only had 20 chances to nab him too
