Docs' call on Richmond Tiger Matthew Richardson[/color]Jay Clark | August 05, 2009 A MEETING with doctors this morning is likely to determine whether Matthew Richardson will play again this season. The Richmond veteran had scans on his troubled left hamstring yesterday, but will not know what it means for his football future until he discusses the results with medical staff today. Richardson made his intentions clear at Punt Rd training yesterday where he participated in light kicking and handball drills over short distances with teammates. The 34-year-old lasted only 10 minutes in the VFL at the weekend, but insisted he came off the ground only as a precaution after experiencing tightness in the back of his leg. Tigers captain Chris Newman said the club supported Richardson's comeback attempt, despite calls to put the big man on ice for the year. "I think it's really hard on big Rick (Richardson)," Newman said. "He's been putting in so much effort to get out there. "He was just really disappointed after the game, to not only (not) play the game, but to leave Coburg short one man. He's getting scans, but he's been staying as positive as ever."http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,25884045-19771,00.html
