Toast Played, Shane

[ohhhBigMalcho]

best hands ive ever ever seen

 

[boncer34]

Good player, let’s not get carried away. Good luck.

Now you've done it.

 

[GWT6]

Good average player. Probably a player worthy of a thread on the Richmond board.

 

[G String]

A brilliant player and fantastic person.

Shedda did things that you missed because he was so quick and did stuff you just didn't expect. He is/was a leader in turning the team from a rabble into a dynasty.

Great career and hopefully he'll leave with 4 premiership medals.

He was often the 'how'd they get out of that' player with quick hands and smart tap ons which often go unnoticed. He was an amazingly under-rated contested ball winner - not in numbers but quality

 

[Tiger2709]

Good player, let’s not get carried away. Good luck.

Why not get carried away?

3 flags, 300 games, Captained the club when Cotch was out in a flag year, not many at our club have matched him.

Hopefully we can make that 4 flags

Our low numbers of possessions etc. have made a lot of our players look less than they actually were, we should be a biker club with all the 1%ers we get.

 

[Tiger2709]

I'm no AFL coach but think he was not as good as Cyril Rioli

Now you know why you're not an AFL coach

Classic bigfooty. Played for Richmond so can't be any good.

sort of like Petracca on the Demons board?

What does a good average player or the Richmond board have to do with this thread?

Sheds is a 300 game, All Australian triple premiership player well beyond good average.

Does this mean we cant put a Liam Shiels thread on the MB when he retires ?

What??

 

[GWT6]

Not sure if it's worth a thread, but Edwards got me thinking - who is the worst player to play 300 games? Obviously a player has to be reasonably good to play 300, but it's more about being at least average for a very long time.

is probably the worst of in the last few decades. I don't know anything about Garry Foulds, so he must be right up there.

​

 

[Tiger2709]

What??

think.

Oh your question mark key appears to be stuck.

 

[theyellowsash]

Kudos to osho for making a thread praising an opposition player. Its just unfortunate that Richmond is hated so much that people can't even show a 300 game, all Australian, triple flag winner player any respect simply because of the jumper he wears.

Here's two for your list

David Neitz
Nathan Jones

 

[Danw0w]

Unbelievably underrated player. Clean hands, excellent skills and a goal sneak. Was third best in two grand finals. I can’t believe some of the disrespect some of the campaigners on here are showing him.

 

[GWT6]

Here's two for your list

David Neitz
Nathan Jones

Wow - not sure if I will recover from that.

Neitz was always severely overrated. Very good club player, not a champion of the game. He would be at the bottom group of 300 game players, but comfortably ahead of Edwards.

Nathan Jones in another side would be at least a 3 time All Australian, was tagged every week and never played a bad game.

Jones is proof you dont need to pass grade 6 English to be able to play footy. Guy can barely get 5 words in a row out.

You are right, not worth a thread.
Why does every bloody thread have to have a negative spin on it. The blokes played 300 games & reached the pinnacle of the sport 3 times. He's had more of a career than most who have had the privilege of playing at the highest level.
Why cant it be left at that?

Why are you even bothering with this thread. its here to celebrate a champion of the game?

Good little troll. Please go away. This is a thread to celebrate a player making 300 games, winning 3 premierships and generally being both a brilliant player (if not always top end A grader), and a great guy whose leadership helped turn his team from a joke into a powerhouse.

98 players have played 300 games and only 8 indigenous surely that's worth a thread, its not as if we pay by the word.

Not sure why some posters(not you) would bother coming into the thread just to be negative, that's the real waste.
