be a great get to have around the club with the incoming 18 year olds. keep them grounded early in their careers and understand the hard-work required at a young age. so many high draft picks don't appreciate how hard the business of AFL will be- so having them around a bloke like Jacob and hearing how he has managed to stay in the game for 10 years will be good for them. humble and overcame adversity with his speech impediment. VFL player and depth only; but what a great role-model. Just sit all the new draftees in a room with Jacob during their lunch-break during week one and have them focus on him only whilst they watch the second quarter of the 2017 GF... they will understand a bit more how much hard work it takes to be a Richmond man and they can aim to earn their team-mates respect.

That call by McAvaney is unbelievable.
Matches Maxfield In 95 against Essendon
He'd be sharing it with Dale Kickett and I'll defer to @LeeToRainesToRoach as to anyone else?
Maybe he'd be the only 5th club premiership player.
I always thought 5 and hopefully the attached is correct
Australian Football - Dale Kickett - Player Bio
I think the Cats would be more interested in Dale Kickett. He fits their age profile better.

| Baker, Ted | Ca,Co,Ge,Co,WB | 1920-1934 | 142 |

Baker & Dougherty (first time around) were premiership players at Geelong.
23 players played at four different clubs incliuding premiership players Allan Davis, Daryl Cumming, Geoff Raines, Peter Francis, Martin Pike and Townsend.
Another 12 players played at four clubs/had three club changes if returning to a former club is counted. Premiership players John Rantall, Robert McGhie, Peter Keenan, Gary Cowton.
Thanks LTRTR. Just looked it up on AFL Tables. Kickett played 75% at last team Freo for 8 seasons than he did at the previous 4 clubs for 4 seasons. Weird. Must have settled in at a mature age. So, it looks like 6 is the record to break.
