Probably just an official announcement of the injury, but it could nearly be the end of Richo?

one thing i think is certain, richo wont be here next year. sad to see him go but thats life . im just so glad he got to kick his 800th goal
-
Richo will play next year along with 1 of either Joel or Cousins.
Brown, Simmonds, Johnson will be given fair well games.

Surgery to put Richo out for 10-12 weeks
RICHMOND superstar Matthew Richardson's season could be over with immediate surgery required to repair his injured right hamstring.
The 10-12 week recovery period would leave him precious little time to get match-fit before the end of the season, with Richmond struggling at 1-5 and looking set to miss the finals.
The oldest player in the competition has struggled through the last two weeks, suffering a glute injury in the round five clash with North Melbourne, then a flare-up of knee tendinitis in Sunday's clash with the Swans.
The 34-year-old finished third in last year's Brownlow Medal despite struggling through the end of the season with the knee injury.
Richardson has played 282 games for the Tigers, winning the Jack Dyer Medal in 2007 and leading the goalkicking 13 times.
Richardson will speak exclusively to afl.com.au tomorrow about his plight.

He shouldn't have played.
Someone should have stopped him :banghead
Richo and the Sydney grounds just don't get on :banghead
-
has the footy club purposely driven richo into the ground waiting for this to happen.
easier to retire richo when injured in this manner, it means they dont have to sack him nor wait for him to make a decision.
just a conspiracy theory
if rfc dont renew his contract, it wont look as bad now because these injuries at this age is the perfect excuse

the buck stops with the coach, he gets his information and has the final say, the docs do not select the team, they may say the player is fit to play, but terry has been around for along time and should nknow better. most doctors have no idea what they are on about

There is a difference between posting an opinion and posting absolute drivel that doesn't make sense.

in my experiences,the coach istens to the medics who,in this case,gave the all clear.

And the buck, if anything, should stop at the selection committe and/or director of football. Seeing he's taken every other responsibility away from Wallace, when does he start answering to the mistakes around the club? Wallace is a part of the selection committee, he should take some of the blame, but not the buck stopping with him on this occasion becuase there are higher authorities these days if you hadn't have noticed.
-

And stop making yourself out to be some higher being?
But if you can't stop at least spell correctly when you're pointing out someone else's deficiencies.

he has had 5 years , time to start fresh and overhaul the whole footy dep

Stop changing the issue
It's not about Wallace and whether he should be here or not, it's responsility for medical decision and who should be responsible. IMO not him when someone with a degree says he's okay to play.
-
Back to the thread.
The injury he copped was unrelated to the glute strain he received against North. Could just be bad luck and a coincidence

doc says, hey richo how do u feel.....great
hey terry richo is ok to play
rnd 1
hey cuz how do u feel , im good doc
hey terry, cuz is ok
-
Moi is right.
However, short of going in and having a look for themselves, they can only go on what their patients tell them, and I suspect richo must've told them he was ok. I love richo but that is selfish.
It has doubly backfired; having a one legged full forward cost us the game on Sunday, now he's out for 10.

Very bad form of you to blame someone for something that could end someone's career.
Can't blame Terry for this one.
Think things through occasionally would you :wallywink
-
He shouldn't have played.
Someone should have stopped him :banghead
Richo and the Sydney grounds just don't get on :banghead
Totally agree.
Surely the medical staff would have/should have done some tests to make sure he was ok. Most men would say they were ok rather than admit they weren't.
-
It has doubly backfired; having a one legged full forward cost us the game on Sunday, now he's out for 10.
Yes but why did they allow a one-legged full forward on the ground - why not take him off when it was obvious he wasn't doing any good there?
-
terry should know, being an ex oplayer, that one always lies and hides little injuries to get out and play
when richo strained his glute, v north, he should have thought about richo and his age, but no , he thought about his own coaching career
now they are saying that the injury is not related to the glute injury, thats a blatant lie to cover ther bums, that buttock muscle strain is directly linked with the function of teh hamstring origin which is the tendon. they are trying to bluff us all to cover their heads. now terry should have said , ok based on all infront of me , im still resting u one me week and then re assess
danny screwed up cogs to try and save his career by playing through those stomach abductor injuries he had, he nearly finished cogs off at that point to salvage his own coaching career
terry is doing the same now, i can see it, you cant
so think about that
facts are terry is gone next year, so why should we waste time, lets start 2010 now. give the new coaching team a head start in analysing the list

Read my lips, nothing to do with Terry this issue :wallywink
-
One thing you can blame Terry for is keeping him out there after it was so obvious that he couldn't move. You'd think that those (useless) leads that he attempted in the 2nd half have made this injury worse.
Whatsmore it cost us a few goals as well. That passage in the 3rd quarter where he gathered it deep in the fwd pocket, and wanted to snap it back into the corridor.....but couldn't, is one that really stands out in my mind. We should've got a goal out of that passage.
I don't really buy into the argument that it 'at least takes a good opposition defender out of the way'. The way we were streaming forward in the 2nd half, we desperately needed a leading forward.
-
im happy to agree that all are at fault and have a part to play
richo, the docs, the match committee and the coach
in the end its the team and the fans that suffer

Yes but why did they allow a one-legged full forward on the ground - why not take him off when it was obvious he wasn't doing any good there?
He was still taking a good defender and giving others players an opportunity to rest on the bench. Probably was though is that it further injuried him and allowed his opponent to easily run off him. A no win situation really. Stupidity by the player, medical staff and selection panel really. If we had another forward pushing for selection last week Richo would have been rested for sure now we need to find a KPF out of necessity.
This is starting to feel like 2007 all over again.... :'(

Richo will be back: Tigers doctor
richmondfc.com.au
By Mic Cullen 12:20 PM Tue 05 May, 2009
DESPITE an injury that could mean his season is over, Richmond says favourite son Matthew Richardson's career will go on.
The league's oldest player will undergo surgery on his hamstring tendon on Tuesday evening, and he is expected to miss at 10-12 weeks, which would mean a return in round 17 at the very best.
But club doctor Greg Hickey said he expected Richardson to return later in the season, although he admitted Richardson's season could be over.
"He'll definitely come back – I've absolute confidence that he'll be right to play," he said at Punt Rd on Tuesday morning.
"We're obviously hopeful it'll be this year. It's an extended period out of the game and we'll be doing everything we can and he certainly will be as well – he's desperate to come back.
"I wouldn't say he's a certainty to play this year, but we're certainly optimistic that he'll be around for the latter part of the season."

You THINK you can see it, but at the end of the day you don't KNOW anything.
You're making a bunch of assumptions from an outsiders perspective with no real facts on what has really happened other than hindsight. You don't know any of the discussions that took place, you don't have any of the medical records, yet you are happy to make accusations against people you don't even know.
-
we are such a great team and club and always do the right thing lol
-
Surely when it comes to injuries and medical issues the coach, match committee etc are guided by the doctors. You the ones who spend how many years at school studying?
If the Doctor said he was right to play then you go with that. That's what the coach has done in this case to blame him for this is laughable.
If the doctor said he wasnt' right to play he wouldn't have played, so if the doctor said he's OK why wouldn't you play him?
I blame the doctors here ....

Here's the audio of Hickey and Cameron's press conference
http://www.sportsentral.com/pro/main/storyreader.aspx?sid=10383&sr=all
* Past 12-months had hamstring tendonitis. On and off last season and continued this season. Has continued to play well despite at times in the 2nd half of last year he was really struggling with it.
* Last week came off with buttock injury. Richo felt the glut injury was different from the above on-going condition. MRI confirmed it was a glut (strain in the obterator internus (sp?) ). Small muscle. Non-common injury. 15 past cases of rugby players didn't miss a game due to it.
* By midweek the buttock pain was gone an felt good before the game.. Just had the niggling hammy tendonitis. Had an acute incident early on in the game in a different region - ie. in the hammy. We felt it was an aggravation of the tendonitis.
* As for going back on the ground - difficult to stop a guy who is desperate to get back out there. He did a job and was able to function although not as his best. He didn't do any further damage to it. The scan yesterday showed the tear in the hammy tendon.
* It was clear it was an aggravation but in the past he has been able to get back out there and get 3 Brownlow votes. When he says he wants to get back out there you have to give him a lot of respect.
* Asked about public perception being that the club stuffed up playing him in the first place. Cameron said we've been through what happened. Confident the right decision was made and the injury is seperate from the one done against North. Backs out medical and fitness staff. Richo trained fully by Wednesday. Hickey confirmed it's the same leg as the buttock injury.
* Richo is desperate to comeback. Hickey confident he'll come back if not this year then definitely the next. Joint injuries and constant soft tissue injuries are what end careers. Apart from this injury his body is in great nick. This time off may give his tendonitis problem time to settle down and it may even prolong his career. So no shutting of the book yet.
* Cameron said the injury isn't career ending. Expect him to come back towards the end of the year. Up to his mind whether he wants to go on and we'll sit down with him at the end of the year but talking to him today he is keen to go on.
* Cameron said we won't be answering match committee decisions today.

Frightening, they talked as if he'll most likley be out for the rest of the year.

Missing 10 weeks leaves him 6 or 7 games. He then has to regain match fitness which will take a couple of games. Therefore he will only be at normal output levels for say 4 games = may as well be the season

Would you send him to Germany? Cogs is flying?

lmao at going to germany
tool
richo is 34 , is not part of future plans, now rooke and cogs have been successful at the german experiment, but more ppl fail to pull through that treatment than succeed, the stats prove that. same as the malceski knee surgery, that techique has more failures than passes. if richo was 24 and it was a last resort , sure try germany, but his career is finished
its time rfc move on and fwd
clean sweep right across the club

So you are going on record to say that Matthew Richardson has played his last game at RFC?
-
what is sad about all of this is that Richo had the injury BEFORE the kangas game.
he should not of played last week in sydney.
Sadly, he will retire at the end of the year .

this club rips the heart and sole out of its supporters and this is no exception.
i doubt sending him to Germany will reduce his time on the sidelines.
I think he will come back but seriously enough is enough i have had a gutful of the way this club is run.
we are a stuffin joke
I accepted it with Cuz then was bemused with Simmo and Browny but now this is the final straw and someone should come out and apologise to all us fans.
Year in and year out we pay to see the stars of our game and sadly we may have seen for the last time one of the characters of all time.
Not many left really. Fev, aker maybe but thats it. The rest are robuts.
Watching him like is week was a kick in the guts but hearing this news is a farce and a disgrace
-
This is amazing, are we ever going to get all our star players on the track at any one time?? Cog's was out, Cotch out, Brown out, Cuz out, Johnson out Pettifer out (not a real star) and now Richo. Unreal, when is this club going to get a break?? You can't win games with so many of our front line players out at the same time.

-
Cogs gets hurt - send him back on and he does his knee in tassie
Cuz does his hammy - send him back on and he rips it
Richo does hammy - can only wobble around. They play him next week. Out for 10 weeks.
Great job Richmond medics. :cheers :cheers :-\

Tiger supporter and Sportal journo Paul Gough has hammered the club in his article:
When will Richmond ever learn?

Richmond might be doing its best to defend the indefensible but when will the club ever learn that you have to look after your veteran players?
The decision to not only play 34-year-old spearhead Matthew Richardson with an injury against Sydney on Sunday but incredibly put him back onto the field when he suffered yet another injury in the first term has ended any chance the club had of salvaging a 2009 season that promised so much.

NOT JUST WALLACE'S FAULT BUT THE REST OF THOSE stuff H E A D S HEADING THE FITNESS GROUP.
BAN ME DO WHATEVER YOU WANT FOR AVOIDING THE SWEAR FILTER BUT THIS IS effIN rubbish
Can I ask the moderators to listen to danielle's own advice and ban him... permanently, preferably an IP ban.
He'll never listen and never learn.

what is sad about all of this is that Richo had the injury BEFORE the kangas game.
he should not of played last week in sydney.
Sadly, he will retire at the end of the year .
Brendan Fevola admitted on Footy Classified on Monday that he has played every game this year needing pain killing injections in his heel. Richo has apparently carried and played through this injury without pain killing injections for 12 months, yet last week was the week was the week we needed to tell him not to play even though he said he was ok to play?
How on earth would you know when to allow players to play or not? If every player we put on the field needed to be 100% before they crossed the white line, we'd be lucky to get a dozen players on the field at any one time.

Being at work and unable to post I will probably reiterate stuff that others have mentioned but this has been simmering inside me since I found out so I apologise to those who think its groundhog day. Here goes.
Cuz in round 1
Richo now,
You'd think if there was any doubt you would give him a scan and determine the extent of the damage. WTF are the medicos doing down there. Are they medicos or apprentices in their work experience year so the club can cut costs?
I am staggered angry and sadenned. For a club that's 1-5 we have been in the news this year every week for all the wrong issues which to me suggests the type of brothel we are as a footy club.
This message is probably more graphic and emotive as it is Richo but this guy has bled yellow and black and has given more to his club than the club has offered him. The truth is a new coach will come in whether in 5 weeks or the end of the year barring some unforseen and spectacular miracle of the like that we have never seen before or again and as part of his new agenda he will get rid of Richo. Mark my words we may have seen the last of him. Any complications and the year is gone. Round 18-22 if everything is perfect and nothing in his rehab goes awry. There is absolutely no guarantee.
Will he be eligible for a run at Coburg during their finals campaign if they make it. Ironically if it is to be his last season he may get that finals/ premiership tilt through Coburg if he chooses.
These medicos are accountable and derilect of their duty if Wallace is placing pressure on them to pass players fit to play in order to save his job. If that is the case that's negligence and malpractice to the player involved and negligence to us the supporter and member who expect the best but we are offered half fit lads so that the coach can hopefully gain one last ounce of energy from their defective bodies to hopefully stagnate his already sliding career fall for a little while longer.
If this is the case once again I feel let down by the RFC. Sucked in with the hype we have got 45K of members and without finals again to be lied to and disappointed.
This is a very sad state of affairs.
Richo I feel for you.
If I went to a doctor and he told me I was fine and I got a second opinion and that doctor told me I was fine I would accept that. There is more than 1 medico at the RFC being that we are a professional organisation only when they cajole money out of our wallets and elevating hype so there would have been more than 1 opinion to give him the go ahead and okay to play. Players always want to play but the players welfare and health should come first not the coaches contract.
I only hope a new coach offers him a 1 year deal next year as I remember Blumfield did this injury in 2003 I believe and it was quite nasty. Can take longer than expected and given Richo's age and history of recent hammies (last year) he could be in bit of trouble and alas we may have seen the last of him. 282 games and if he's luck 1 or 2 more by the end of the year.
After Round 1 our loss to the Cheats.
After Round 2 talking ourselves up for the Dogs.
After Round 3 our loss to the Dogs leaves us up to our necks in crisis facing the Dees.
After Round 4 our monthly board meeting coincides with another loss more negativity.
After Round 5 Richo "glute"
After Round 6 Richo hamstring tear off the bone
RFC thankyou once again for tarnishing our season with crap.
Thank you for raising the bar in the expectation stakes pre season only to reduce it come the season. No wonder we are seen as unprofessional and easy beats and have very little respect from our peers.
RFC Thank you.
-
Watched him in the warm up before the Kangas game, if he was a racehorse, he would of been scratched at the barrier.
SHOULD NOT HAVE PLAYED- FULL STOP.
Same as Cousins at 3/4 time round 1. should never of gone back on the ground.
Either should of Richo for that matter. as he was cactus at 3/4 time as well.
You have to manage players, not players manage themselves.
RFC is 100% to blame.
-
:( The things that happen while you sleep.
First I knew was 10 news just before I left for work.
Shock.
Told Junior just about had a tear in my eye.
He was in great form prior to this mess, so fingers crossed he at least gets a send off, hoping for another year if all is OK at the end.
Time to chuck Sarge and Cleve to the wolves, there is no Richo to get in their way now, so time to take another step towards the future.
Still very :( and a bit >:(
Good luck Cho :pray

Is this your humble opinion or one of your FACTS :rollin

Tucker I think you and many others are drawing a long bow to suggest that TW is pressuring the medicos to give players the all clear to save his job. If that was the case Cotchin would have been playing the entire year
The doctors are to blame here - they give the OK on medical issues the buck stops with them.
And just one more thing he hasn't torn his hamstring off the bone it is a partial tear of the tendon. Granted it aint great but it could be worse eg if it was torn off the bone. If it was torn off the bone he wouldn't have been able to walk unaided let alone hobble back onto the SCG on Sunday :help

Whats the saying, straight out of the horses mouth ;)

Might just say WP, more to life than football.
You might find he wants to go in "'another direction " in life, can you blame him

Hopefully he'll start on having some kids
I want to be still alive when Richo Junior comes of age :thumbsup

If Richo stays then we should keep cousins for 2010 if hes hammys stay together, all the rest should get the arse. If Richo retires then Cousins should go as well, and we should retire the 6 blokes in one hit.
-
There would be motivation for Richo to play on next year and reach 300 games. He's currently on 282. If he returns before the end of the season and plays say 4-5 games then he'll be in realistic range to still reach the milestone next year. If he's gone for all of this year then 18 more games would mean he'd need a fairly injury-free season in 2010 as a 35-year old to make it. He could then decide to retire at the end of this season.

lmao at going to germany
tool
richo is 34 , is not part of future plans, now rooke and cogs have been successful at the german experiment, but more ppl fail to pull through that treatment than succeed, the stats prove that. same as the malceski knee surgery, that techique has more failures than passes. if richo was 24 and it was a last resort , sure try germany, but his career is finished
its time rfc move on and fwd
clean sweep right across the club
So you are going on record to say that Matthew Richardson has played his last game at RFC?
i am going on the record saying that if i were in charge it would be curtains for richo, give him 1 more send off game and thats it once he is fit
i am also going on the record saying that your father should have worn a condom!

Why? what does the one have to do with the other?

The man who tells Richo he's not required would want to have a 60+ win percentage by round 8 or 9 of next year otherwise he'll be torn to shreds.
Takes a brave man with no common sense to sending a "1 in 100 years" club legend the door with no guarantee of success following.
If terry thought it was hot in the kitchen now. Imagine if we had this start next year after delisting Matthew Richardson.

He'll never listen and never learn.
can i ask the moderators to come and bath me and take care of me.
god your pathetic have a listen to yourself, some of us actually care about this club
for crying out loud, how old are you? You seem to have the IQ of David Schwarz from the Run Home.

SEN just reported that Richo's operation was successful. He was still too groggy to talk to the media as he was leaving hospital to talk though.

Yeah :clapping :clapping Richmond did it again to the favorite son Richoman this time THEY WILL NEVER LEARN
l have said it for years over & over & so many times recently that unfit players shouldnot take the ground. They cost games, Cost moral around the club, they cost punters, & its a stuffing disgrace
we had fit forwards in Shulzs or could have even blooded Vickery or even played Simmonds at FF for a change but no they had to go in with unfit players & lose again
l'm sure Wallace is coaching this way for his beloved Hawks cause the idiots heart does not lay at Tigerland.
Richmond is the laughing stock of the football world & there is no excuses
As for the Coburg side going down shows very dull years ahead

By Matthew Richardson Thu 21 May, 2009
IN MOST situations, there's good news and bad news.
My good news is that I'm healing quickly, and I'm well on track to be back later this year, nicely ahead of schedule.
The enforced layoff means I've had plenty of time to think about what I want to do, and it's just reinforced to me that I'm really focused on getting back to full fitness, playing again this year and giving myself a chance to go again.
My bad news? I'm still pretty ordinary at Tiger Woods Golf on the Playstation. See, my brother stole the Playstation for a couple of years and I didn't get to use it so I've gone backwards – I used to be alright at the NBA basketball as well, but it's taking me a while to get back into it. I think I just have to realise that I'm no good at it now.
The good news out of that, though, is that I can now sit down, I don't have to lie on the couch like I did straight after the op. It's still uncomfortable and I have to keep getting up, but we're getting there.
The great news is that as of this week, I'm back at the club and immersed in a full rehab program. I saw the surgeon, Julian Feller, on Monday and he was really happy with the way things were going. He has given me the option to start ramping things up.
The first couple of weeks I wasn't allowed to do anything, just to let the wound heal, so that drove me crazy, but now, I can start jogging whenever I feel comfortable, so I think we're looking at early next week for that, which is fantastic.
A the moment, I'm working on strengthening my glutes and working on my core stability, just keeping all my muscles switched on – my calves, my quads (which waste away very quickly when you're not moving for a few weeks), my hamstrings.
Pilates and yoga are right out, because we don't want to stretch out and put pressure on the repair, but the bad news is that the pool looms. Coming from Tasmania, swimming's not something you do too much of, but as long as it helps me keep my fitness up, I guess I'll have to do it.
Game days are still tough. I try to avoid the coach's box, because I'm not real good in there. I'll be just sitting back watching, concentrating on the forward line, because that's an area I reckon I can pass on a bit of expertise. I'll try to see what's happening in the forward line and try and help out any of the boys in any way that I can.
I understand where Gary Ablett is coming from when he says he goes home and just listens to it on the radio. You never want to watch, and it's very frustrating. But I've had enough injuries now to know that you've got to get along to the games, and try to help out whichever way you can. Just being there and supporting your teammates is pretty important.
