TigerKnights
Team Captain
Yeah I get it is tight call. J Titus got plenty to, it is a tough gig at tigerland. Disco was my first fave to. I am just one of those guys who would pick a team in real world terms and you cannot have 6 CHF/FF in the TOTC or any team. Sorta the opposite of how the AA team is selected these days. But if came down to 25m directly in front to win, you gotta go Disco. And he simply cannot replace Hart. But I would say the Dyer comparison is one most accurate on Richo I have heard for a while. He brought a roar back to tigerland than had been long forgotten.Well I respectfully disagree. Roach was my childhood idol but his peak years were 20-22yo; injury prevented him being greater for longer. Richo embodied the spirit of the club as Dyer did, only differently. I note that both Roach and Richo are on the bench in the Tasmanian TOTC which was named in 2004. Richo added 220 goals and 51 Brownlow votes after that.
Dyer named Roach at FF in his greatest ever Richmond team c. 1982, but like Richo's 1998 TOTC gong, it was a little premature.
Incidentally, as one of five playing "immortals" I'd include Vic Thorp, who nobody mentioned on that other s**t thread.
