Originally from Trentham, Richmond's Frank 'Griff' McCashney was one of the most brilliant and exciting VFL wingmen of his day. An excellent kick, over both long and short distances, he played 82 senior games and kicked eight goals between 1909 and 1915, and represented the VFL against South Australia in 1913.
