The genesis of this little effort was a comment I read on another board that North's forward trio were better than Jack, Vickery and Griffiths. I went and had a look at the the combination for the three Richmond talls of goals and goal assists and found they were indeed higher than the North trio (7.5 versus 6.8 a game). That got me to thinking that this would be an interesting way of ranking forwards. IMO this confirms that both Jack and Vickery are criminally under-rated, but that Griffiths is not much use at this stage.
