I dont think it is fair to rate newman when he is still mid career and is only 11 games into being captain. Wait until he is retired or is no longer captain.

I'd go with this based on them being Skipper. Big gulf between Free and the rest though.

Jeezuz I watched Knights play stacks of 15-20 possie games to go with his very occasional 30 plus possie ones. That left foot was sublime though, and the 1995 Ess final was his masterpiece. IMHO however, perhaps the most overrated player in my time supporting Richmond.
Freezer was a hard nut. Nowhere near the talent of Knights, but I loved him.

We agree.............again ;D
1. Free (great onfield leader of men)
2. Campbell (good onfield leader of men)
3. Knights (great onfield leader of some men)
4. Johnson (great mute)
Newman deserves the full season before judging against those who have amassed more successful coin tosses at interstate grounds than Newmo has captained games.......

If anything I reckon he was underrated by non-Richmond people. 20 disposals then wasn't like 20 disposals now, and 20 Knights possessions were often telling.
True, not saying he wasn't AFL standard, unlike half our list now, and then for that matter, but some people carry on as if he was Voss, or Riccutio or something....

Interesting that Jack Dyer named Roach at FF in his greatest ever Richmond side in 1981, after only three full seasons, with Titus on a flank. After that he moved into the ruck for a year and injuries curbed his brilliance.

I can't understand this fascination with Matthew Knights. Everyone bags Campbell for supposedly being soft yet they laud Knights who was as soft if not softer.
I may be in the minority here but I thought Campbell was a great on-field leader.

As players (at richmond) Knights, Campbell, Free, Johnson, Newman
As players (career) Knights, Johnson, Campbell, Free, Newman
As bare-knuckle fist fighters, well unfortunately Knighter doesnt top this list, but you cant be all things to all people can you?
