The Most Underrated Player

[rfctigerarmy]

1st Richmond Player in the Herald Sun

6th on the Richmond Goal Kicking list.... (11 Goals)

2nd in Richmond Kicks... (193 Kicks)

6th in Richmond Marks..... (67 Marks)

3rd in Richmond Disposals.... (242 Disp)

2nd in Richmond Behinds .... (19 Behinds)

12th in Richmond Handballs.... (49 Handballs)

5th in Richmond Tackles..... (30 Tackles)

The man im talking about is Greg Tivendale.

I think Greg is the most underrated Richmond player - not just because of his stats but because he always trys he's best.

Guest97811: Who do you think has the biggest work rate at the club?
Wayne Campbell: I think there's a number - Greg Tivendale and Mark Chaffey probably work the hardest - they're consistently in the front running group preseason and they run the hardest on match day.

Between Chaffey and Andy.

Both have been solid and dependible all year and our fortunes would be even more miserable if either of these players went down. Hard call between the 2 but i'd favour chaffey.

And well done andy for his 100th game on the trot.

Brave Richmond backman Andrew Kellaway will chalk up his 100th consecutive game when he runs out to do battle for the Tigers against the Adelaide Crows at AAMI Stadium this Saturday night.

Kellaway, 27, has not missed a match since Round 5 of the 1999 season.


Since then, he has developed into one of Richmond’s most consistent performers, winning the Club’s Best and Fairest award, the prestigious Jack Dyer Medal, in 2000 and earning All-Australian selection in the same year. He has also represented Australia twice (2000 & 2002) in the International Rules Series against Ireland and gained wide recognition along the way for his superb goalkeeping efforts.

This season Kellaway has once again been resolute in defence for the Tigers, and he’s very rarely had his colors lowered.

With his great courage, discipline, determination and durability, Andrew Kellaway has become an integral part of the Richmond line-up. And, the Tiger fans just love the way he goes about his business each week across the backline.

“It’s an excellent effort by Andy,” said Richmond’s Football Manager Greg Hutchison.

“Clearly, it’s a testament to his durability and his professional approach to the game.

“I’m sure people would be surprised that he’s been able to notch 100 games straight because of the tough, uncompromising way he attacks the footy on the field. He really does smash in pretty hard, so the fact he’s been able to play 100 games on-the-trot – and not miss through injury – is a real credit to him.”

Hutchison said that Kellaway’s rise to prominence at Richmond was a classic success story . . .

“Given that he’s come from a situation five or six years ago where he was unlikely to be getting a game (AFL) anywhere – and developed into an All-Australian, a Jack Dyer Medallist and one of our first picked each week, it’s a tremendous credit to him.”
