Stats
Bio
Recruited from Trentham, Frank McCashney became a defensive pillar for Richmond during the club's challenging early years in the VFL. Arriving at Punt Road in 1909, just the Tigers' second season in the league, he quickly made the full-back position his own, renowned for his reliable marking and ability to withstand pressure in a side that often found itself under siege. He played consistent senior football for seven seasons, featuring in 82 games without managing to break into a finals campaign as the club sought to establish its identity. His league career effectively concluded following the 1915 season prior to his enlistment for service in World War I, leaving him as a respected servant of the club's foundation era.
