Our biggest problem over the past 15 years is that we have failed to understand that a fully functioning forwardline needs a minimum of 2 tall forwards of roughly equal ability

I'd make that 30 years Foofoo

The question is does Richo think he will play at all? Even if he plays half to a third of a season he can still provide a chop out for our youngsters. We can plonk him close to goal or play him off the bench a la Harvey's last year with the Saints. As a vet he won't be taking up a senior list spot and he won't be causing any TPP worries. On the other hand if Richo thinks he'll have a year like Sugar did this year which was sitting every week in the grandstand after doing another preseason then I could understand if he pulls the pin now.

As sad as it is and if the rumours are true that he is struggling to run then it is best for Richo to pull the pin now and concentrate on his life after footy. Will miss the big fella heaps but the club and team must come first and I would hate to see the club nurse him through to 300 when he may be taking a kids spot on the team sheet each week. I hope this is all a furphy and we do get to see him on the field fit and firing again but somehow I have that feeling that I think he will not go on.

Richo retirement talk is a load of crap: Ricky Nixon
« Reply #84 on: October 22, 2009, 02:38:30 PM »
Ricky Nixon was on SEN jut before calling in from Ireland and he said he had been swamped with calls asking about Richo and is the big fella retiring. Nixon said any talk about Richo retiring is "crap". Nothing has changed. Richo has had scans on his hamstring and all is good. He expects Richo to play on next year  :).

Nixon: Richo to play on (SEN)

Nixon: Richo to play on
22-10-2009 2:25 PM
By Jacqui Reed

SEN | EXCLUSIVE: AFL Player Manager Ricky Nixon has refuted speculation Matthew Richardson is about to call it quits, saying the veteran's scans were clear, and barring any hiccup during pre-season training, he will play on next year.

Richardson had been touted to announce his retirement, after newspaper reports suggested the club champion was undecided on his future.

But Nixon has called SEN from Ireland to refute those claims, saying Richardson is planning to play on.

"My phone is running hot about Richo  retiring, but I can absolutely assure Richmond supporters that is absolute crap," Nixon said.

"He's had scans on his hamstring problem which came up really well."

"He'll train for the next six to eight weeks, and barring any hiccup, he'll be playing next year."

"His motivation is there, he wants to play, the injury has healed well and he's right to go."

"His form at the start of the year was as good as it's been, so there's no reason why he wouldn't be a good contributer for Richmond, that's for sure."

Richo needs time (Herald-Sun)

We'll know in early December according to the Herald-Sun

Richo needs time

MATTHEW Richardson is on track to play on next year, but is in no hurry to make an official decision on his future.

The 34-year-old's manager, Ricky Nixon, yesterday scotched rumours that Richardson was considering retirement.

He said Richardson had been encouraged by recent scans on his surgically repaired hamstring, but still needed time to ensure he was totally convinced he should play on.

As reported by the Herald Sun last month, Richardson has until December's pre-season draft to inform the Tigers of his plans for next year.

Nixon yesterday told SEN radio from Ireland that speculation about Richardson's retirement was rubbish.

``He is raring to go,'' Nixon said.

``He has had scans on his hamstring which came up really well. So really nothing has changed.

``He will train for the next six to eight weeks and, barring any hiccups, he will be playing next year. He is about to return from overseas and I spoke to him and he is disappointed (retirement talk is) circulating around.''

Nixon confirmed All-Ireland under-21 finalist James O'Reilly had signed with Richmond.
