Richmond champion Matthew Richardson could fill in for suspended Brendan Fevola at Yarrawonga

THE Yarrawonga Pigeons need a full-forward to cover for suspended star Brendan Fevola - and Richmond champ Matthew Richardson could be the man.
Richardson, who booted 800 goals for Richmond before retiring at the end of 2009, is at the centre of speculation as the Pigeons prepare to bring more big-name recruits to the Ovens and Murray league in 2013.
The Pigeons have already convinced Fevola to return next year, hoping the two-time AFL Coleman medallist can repeat his 100-goal effort from last season.
But with the former Carlton and Brisbane gun set to miss the Pigeons' Round 1 Easter Sunday blockbuster through suspension, rumours are rife the club is working on another former AFL champion to help launch its premiership defence.
Retired Richmond star Richardson is the name at the centre of speculation, tipped to line-up in Fevola's place.
The Weekly Times reports Geelong premiership hero Brad Ottens is also set to play a handful of games.
"It all depends on draws and once we find out all that, then we can sit down and work out what's in front of us," club president Glenn Brear said.
"Fevola is our man and we want him playing."
Another former Richmond player Kayne Pettifer has reportedly signed with Yarrawonga, joining former teammate Craig Ednie in the Pigeons line-up.
Fevola will play his first game for the season against Jason Akermanis’ North Albury in Round 2.
Akermanis presided over his first training session at the Hoppers last week.

Surely it depends if Richo's hammies can hold up. They were stuffed by the time he retired.

Yep. All thanks to our brains trust who wanted him to play when he could hardly run. As if Richo was ever going to sit out if the club gave him the option of playing. He would roll out onto the G in a wheelchair just to play for Richmond. Considering he is 38 nest year (his hammies won't be getting better with age ;D) you would think it's unlikely for him to play although it would be a massive draw if he did.

Go Pigeons lol.

Do they have wider goals in the O&M League? If so, Richo will be a special for a bag.
Get it done Pigeons. :clapping

I gave him the sack because he kept stepping on my feet

Just heard that he was going to play the first game here in Yarra from sombody in the know. Fev and Richo in the same foward line, Easter, should draw over 10,000.

It might not for many reasons as its still 3-4 months away, but dont doubt that it has been put in motion. Ill mark this down with Ashbury comment as something to follow up. Not that it will make any difference to a poster like you if your wrong. FACT
