I guess the pertinent question remains: Is 84 games ample enough to be included in a club's Best 20 ever?

Peter Hudson played the fewest @129 in my best of 20 at Hawthorn....But he kicked 727 goals at the highest average in VFL/aFL history, including 5 tonnes from 6 full seasons....The next fewest was Buckenara on 154 games in 9 seasons, kicking almost 300 goals, & playing in 4 Premierships.

Buddy & Brereton are the only other 2 players in my Best 20, not to have reached the 200 game milestone with us.

I'm probably finding a spot for both Jarryd Roughead and Shaun Burgoyne.

What a list.
 
For Richmond. Off the top of my head - 5 minutes thought. Criticism accepted. Top 15 I'm pretty happy with. From there, pick 5 out of perhaps 30 possibilities. (Still can't believe Dale Weightman missed out. Might have to do it again).

Hard to find space for Hodge, Mitchell, Crawf, Rough, and Buddy in our TotC. 5 brilliant players need to come out.

Adding Burgoyne as well....

It would be easy to just take out the much older players but Mills, Austen, Edwards, Arthur, Law should probably all be there. Maybe Simmonds comes out as he didnt win a flag but I dont know how good he was. Mills too. Austen was our first Brownlow medallist so its hard to remove him.

Then you have Gibbo who won a B&F in 2 Premierships years so clearly he is in the running...

We have had so many brilliant players over the last 60 years.
