My favourite tigers in the 3 areas of the ground.

Forwards: Richo, Disco, Mitchell

Mids and rucks: Flea, General, Rioli,

Backs: Turner,

I don't have an out and out fave in the current team, I'm sorry but idolising individuals in your 40's is just ****ing weird, who want's to like an middle aged essendrugs supporter who worship the ground some of their ex coach and players walk on.

Matthew Richardson
Matthew Knights
Joel Bowden
Shane Edwards
Mark Coughlan
Jay Schulz

Rance - elite and getting better
Lids - pure class and underrated
Cotch - should win a Bronwlow one day
Newy - bright light during dark days

Back in the day players
Richo - nuff said
Knighter - skillful but should have nutted Libba

Legends
Hungry
Disco
General Lee and Flea
The Ghost Who Walks
Maurice Rioli
Geoff Raines
Woods
Francis Bourke
Captain Blood - never saw him play but he was Richmond

I'm sure there are more out there..but these are the ones that jump out

Gees loved Nathan Brown before he was cruelly struck with a broken leg
Turned a game on his head...particularly the game v the filth when he snapped goals in succession in the final quarter to snatch victory
Unstoppable
Breathtaking
Pity he played for the dogs first..but still awesome as a tiger

Great list. Brian Wood and Geoff Raines one peg down for me because they played elsewhere. Really had respect for the Kellaways in the 90's, and Paul Broderick. Jeff Hogg, Chris Naish, Jamie Tape, Tony Free and Scotty Turner were all likeable players.
