Some Richmond players into the mix

I ran Richmond players through the Dream Team formula...
sorry about the table formatting, copied straight from OpenOffice Calc.

216 Greg Tivendale 24 13 11 10 1 3 4 4
214 Mark Lee 15 14 11 3 19 7 9 2
208 Jack Riewoldt 16 7 14 7 2 3 10 4
207 Chris Naish 24 13 9 6 0 5 6 4
206 Jeff Hogg 16 8 12 5 5 6 10 7
205 Tony Free 33 10 8 5 2 8 3 4

203 Chris Newman 23 16 13 7 1 4 2 2
203 Mark Merenda 26 11 11 5 4 1 5 4
200 Duncan Kellaway 20 16 9 11 3 5 2 1
194 Andrew Kellaway 19 14 15 7 2 5 2 3
192 Nathan Foley 18 21 8 8 1 4 2 2
188 Jason Torney 15 17 12 9 1 5 2 2
186 Mark Chaffey 23 12 12 7 0 3 2 2
175 Aaron Fiora 16 15 13 5 2 4 2 5
170 Scott Turner 17 11 8 4 10 4 5 2
165 Darren Gaspar 15 17 9 5 4 4 2 2

The top game players in the "full stats era" on stats.rleague.com are included... no Dyer, Bartlett or Francis Bourke :(

Bowden at the top is a surprise, given the number of kicks he accumulated in the backline and kicked to no target... Also inflated by Bowden being designated to kick out from full back.
Troy Simmonds scored pretty high, worth including given his career is now closed.

Seeing Darren Gaspar at the bottom pretty much means he's the worst 100+ game player we've had in the past 15 years. I included Fiora just to have a joke player (given some genius at Richmond picked him ahead of Matthew Pavlich) and to see Gaspar below Fiora is pretty shocking.

Combining the best kicks and best handballs can give some pretty menacing stats. Here's some that I found:

Brian Lake:

4 Hitouts
6 Tackles

13 Marks
9 Goals 4

1 Hitout

Edit: Hmm I got 281 for Bowden while Omegaville got 298. Do you know what the scores assigned to each stat were?

Where did you find stats for these players? As the black guy says in Dirty Harry, I gots to know.

Bartlett's figures come from "Footy Facts '86-'87", a short-lived annual from the 1980s. Madden's figures come from the souvenir booklet "Simon Madden Breaks Club Record", printed in 1989 to honour Madden's achievement of breaking Dick Reynolds' Essendon games record of 320.

And so, from Kevin Sheedy's 2008 book "Stand Your Ground" come these figures:

Kevin Sheedy
29 kicks
12 marks
18 handballs
8 frees for
4 goals


The black guy in Dirty Harry = the late Albert Popwell (in case you just had to know)
