Claim: John Howat, a tall utility Australian rules footballer, was drafted by Richmond in 1992 where he was able to establish a regular place and miss just three games in his debut season.
Evidence: John Howat (born 15 July 1970) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne and Richmond in the Australian Football League (AFL). A tall utility player, Howat was used on both ends of the ground during his league career, which began in 1989. He was picked up by Richmond with the 97th selection of the 1992 AFL Draft, where he rejoined with his previous coach John Northey. Unlike at Melbourne, Howat was able to establish a regular place in the team and missed just three games in his debut season.
