25 NAB Cup players to watch
afl.com.au
Matthew Richardson (Richmond)
Punt Road's cult hero is now the oldest man in the AFL. He's also coming off the best season of his career and even made a dash for last year's Brownlow Medal. For so long Richo has been the poster boy of the Tigers, but the acquisition of Ben Cousins will see him happily share some of the limelight that has followed him throughout his career. The Tigers may just nurse him through the NAB Cup but the competitive Richardson is sure to be seen at some point.

Cambo on Richo..
Campbell paid tribute to the longevity of the 33-year-old Richardson, who he played alongside at Richmond for more than a decade.
"He's a stuff of nature, to be as tall as he is and to have taken the contested marks that he has and 16 years on to still be doing it," said Campbell.
"I don't think he has been spared.
"He has been on the wing, running up and down and still kicking goals.
"... if you lose your pace, you're in trouble. If you don't, you keep playing."
