The Jack Riewoldt Memorial Society of Good Players Who Surprisingly Don't Dominate Melbourne

[Oscarman]

Dane Swan? I seem to recall at some stage he had a poor record against us, possession wise at least.

 

[Bojangles17]

Riewoldt tends to kick a lot of points against us but you have to hand it to Frawley for pushing him to the pockets and preventing easy goals.

Frawley does tend to play well on jack

 

[Supermercado]

Lockett had 12, 9, 7 and a pair of 6's against us - but compared to some of the damage he wreaked on teams that's not all that bad a record.

The 12 and 9 were both in '87 (we won the 12 goal one when his teammates came to the party with two goals between them)

We're the only club he averages less than 20 disposals a game against, and the only opposition club he hasn't kicked a goal against. He's also polled 108 Brownlow votes in his career, with only 3 being against us despite having beaten us 7 times.

 

[schmuttt]

Despite us being awful for the vast majority of his career Buddy averaged career lows against us from memory.

Buddy? I can't remember him ever really having a day out against us and kicking a massive bag.

Give this man a cigar! Buddy had the lowest average goals per game against Melbourne. The Hawks regularly gave us a pasting, but Buddy rarely cashed in.

Frawley, Garland, T-Mac, Frosty and May all seemed to give him a lot of grief on various occasions. Suppose they were all quite agile (when T-Mac was younger, of course). That was the type of player that would have success on Franklin – big, dopey, slow KPDs would get smashed.

Buddy didn't play a game that mattered against us until 2018 probably lol I agree the frost and may types matched up well but he probably didn't give a **** about playing against us either

I don't think you become a champion by picking and choosing when to play at your best.

Champions are the type who want to dominate regardless the quality of the opposition.

I mean do agree but also that's not true, Dusty kinda meandered along during the H/A and blew apart September multiple times.
Dermie the same
He also still kicked nearly 2.5 goals a game against us. Still be our leading goal kicker most years in the last 20

Not sure about that. Go back a few decades and most of the games legends barely gave two shits about training they just knew they were better than everyone else rocked up on gameday and went nuts. Can't be that brazen in the professional era but some blokes it just comes easy to.

Yeah lol I've heard multiple stories of Ablett and Modra going out on the piss heavily the night before games, being told off by the players then kicking 10 the next day.

Franklin was a big time player who performed in the big games. Just don't reckon beating up a shit Melbourne on a Sunday at 4.40 did anything for him

How did Neitz even make that list clearly wasn't a CHF

Speaking of Dusty, there's another one for the thread. Lowest disposal average against any side

Training and playing are different things. The key here, as your say yourself, is they rocked up on GameDay and went nuts.
