Richo needs a statue

[HBK619]

Btw...love to see how many points he's kicked....better still, how many set shots at goal he's actually had.
(That would then include all the 'out-of-bounds)

Flawed.

His stats read 799 goals, 549 behinds, imagine what could have been had he been a straight kick.

Amazingly though he has only kicked more behinds than goals once in a season, that being 2003(33G, 34B), even more amazing, in 1995(The glory year), he had kicked 27 goals 3 behindseek 9 games into the season!!!

I assume you got that from the AFL Tables site, and added the 4.5 he kicked against Melbourne.

I believe that Richo's stats on that site are incorrect (by 1 goal). Final Siren reports that Richo is on 798 goals, as does the FootyWorks software.

However, FootyWire also reports that Richo is on 799, but I am inclined to go with the FootyWorks software as being more likely to be accurate than the others.

The discrepancy goes back to Round 15, 1994 v Adelaide @ Football Park.

Did Richo kick 4 or did he kick 3 and Benny Gale kicked 1?

Hmmm, interesting, I used FootyWire, far easier on the eye and far more functional for mine(For the quick stuff anyway).

I didn't get the Footy Record either, that would've probably been conclusive.

I really have no idea though.

I've sent emails to the FinalSiren and AFL Tables sites so I can get to the bottom of this.

For those stats-minded, like me, Richo is 11th on the career goalkicking list, but 10th on the career club goalkicking list and should move up to 8th this year:
