Some interesting stats!
How often has Franklin been held to 2 or less marks in a game?
Answer: 17 times in 58 games.
How often has Richo been held to 2 or less marks in a game?
Answer 14 times in 258 games. 5.4% ( 7 times due to injury)
How many times was Wayne Carey held to 2 or less marks in a game?
Answer: 21 times in 272 games. 7.7%
Embarrassingly for Carey, 3 of these times came in his last 5 finals appearances, one in 2003 while playing with Adelaide, and twice in 2000 while at the peak of his powers with the Roos.
Glen Jackovich held him to 2 or less marks on 4 occasions.
Consider the strength of the Roos through this period relative to the strength of Richmond!
To further analyze Richo’s stats…………….
In detail:
1993 Round 13 Ess 141 v Rich 63
1993 Round 16 Adel 171 v Rich 32
1995 Round 9 Busted knee in opening minutes at SCG versus Sydney.
1996 Round 14 WC 68 v Rich 51.
Can you remember this game? Soaked MCG, WC ahead at half time decide to chip the ball around and bottle the game up denying us possession to win.
