He was a legend - i vividly remember him tearing the hawks apart on a fri nite at the g when they were at their imperious best.
Unfortunately for him, father time and his reluctance to be part of the new culture at the club led to a mutual parting of the ways.
In short, he was not as prepared as say a Trent Cotchin to overhaul his own game in a way that would benefit the team.
On that basis, he probably still goes … even if fit and healthy.

It’s happened before and will happen again - great players leave and the club they leave go on to win flags - can think of a half dozen of the top of my head.

Shame because he was the first of the crop post the fab 4 of the 90’s to emerge for us. Loved him.
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”
