I can't remember who suggested it here (HT74?) but obviously Terry reads your posts lol.
20 goals without Richo up forward and the big fella still kicked 4. A good spread of goalkickers. Terry might have finally woken up that his backside is on the line and the buck stops with him with decisions. Joel out and Richo on the wing :clapping.
Dermie is really starting to lose his credability lately, he must have a beef with Wallace cause he takes potshots at any chance,
Dermie is on SEN now still bagging us. Saying Freo allowed Richo to run around on the wing because other sides won't and we only won because Freo are predictable going forward and we picked them off ::).
Dwayne Russell on 3aw tonight reckons Richo could kick 6 or 7 goals from the wing this week because the Saints don't have someone to match up on him there.
It will be a very sad day when it finally comes for Richo to hang up the boots.
And some people still continue to bag him ::) :wallywink
Richo is and will always be one of the biggest legends to come out of our club.
Richo, Richo man i wanna be a Richo man :thumbsup

A few years ago when Richo was renegotiating his contract there was talk that he was considering changing clubs and at the time I was all for it.
Well I am very happy to say he is still with us and I was completely wrong.
Currently I am wondering if Richo has been played out of position for the whole of his career.
Go Richo. :gotigers
I've called for his sacking :lol but from the perspective of a lovers tiff.
The youngens dont realise how inspiring it is for 30 somethings to watch
him ripping it up at his age.
:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
And for those about to be the next next!!! :'(

There is no doubt that Richo has his flaws, like nearly all of us. He has a tendency to get a little nervous from set shots and occasionally his heart-on-the-sleeve behaviour can be misconstrued. But these are nothing more than blips on his radar of greatness and they certainly dont define Richo the man or Richo the footballer. That is because Richo is the personification of heart. No player has the phenomenal ticker that Richo has. He runs all day and then runs some more. He tackles hard, he scraps like a junkyard dog, his bread and butter is the contested mark and few show as much endeavor on second and third efforts. His loyalty to the Richmond Football Club and the game in general can never be questioned, nor can his natural brilliance and his ability to change the course of a game. Despite being matched-up against the usual horde of taggers and despite rarely receiving any love from the umpires, he remains tenacious and always willing and rarely lets the Tigers down. Few players are as inspirational. There is certainly nobody that plays as hard.
Found this article on Richo on BF.... this full text is here:Great article to read for a Richo tragic like myself! "as graceful and dangerous as a snow leopard in heat!" LOL the mind boggles! :rollin

I won't make much of it at all! If Richo is so disunifying then why is he so popular? An ex player told me that Richo is the best bloke at the club by miles, that he has time for the older and younger player alike! Richo has been as much a victim of this under achieving direction the club has been taking as the club has allegedly been a victim of his!
In relation to Richo I cant help but think of David Parkin at the end of his first season as coach of Hawthorn (75?). He had the view that they would never win a flag with Hudson there. The next year Hudson was gone and the hawks won the flag.
I am NOT suggesting if Richo goes we will be premiers next year, but Parkin belived that they were too focused on hudson as a goalkicker, making it easier for the opposition to shut down their supply of goals. I know Richo has played further down the ground recently but still floats forward quite a bit. There was one game early in the year when he went off injured, young Jack stepped up and kicked a few. When Richo came back on, Jack went back into his shell.

Great post Al. Love the avatar too. Very early Simpsons. One of the classic episodes in the season 3 when Homer and Marge meet in high school lol. :thumbsup
Game you were referring to was against North in round 5 and Parkin's first year of coach was 1977 and yep Hudson despite kicking 100 that year was gone for 1978 and the Hawks one the flag. :thumbsup

But they also won one with him in 1971. I know because I was there - he needed to kick 4 to break Bob Pratt's season goal kicking record (150) and he got slammed early in the game (Saints player that escapes my memory). Nearly lost his ear and was severely concussed. He kicked 3 and missed a couple of very gettable chances late in the game including kicking a goal that was recalled because Bob Keddie infringed. Hawthorn still won a great game by 7 points. Standing room in the old Ponsford Stand - memories!! ;)
He was allowed to act the way he's acted from the word go, this is as much fault of the club that it is Matthews.

Kevin "Cowboy" Neale.
I guess when Hudson was kicking 150 a year or close to it he was a matchwinner yet when he was kicking just 100 he was just a good ordinary player. Dynamics of the side was different in 1971 and 1977. What can I say. Parkin was proved right he won the flag in 1978.
I'm not concerned if he does continue or not next year
Would like to see Richo play out of the goal square this year
CHF - Riewoldt, Post, Vickery, Bradshaw ??
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
From BF
.... heard on SEN that the big fella is rumoured to be pulling the pin tomorrow.
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16102045&postcount=1
Yet the SEN twitter page says "No. he's going to train for a month before deciding on his future."
http://twitter.com/SENNEWS
He has tried to run but is struggling, he wont get through a seasonThe 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.
He has been back for nearly a week now..
Interesting to see whats happens in the next week

As I have said, he will try and get through the pre season ( As Nixon has said )
And it was in the press the following day after I said it.
He wants to play, but a decision will be made after the pre season.
Richo does have doubts,
Keep this in mind.
He was supposely right to at Coburg but was sore in the warm ups.
Personally , I would love him to play on.
From a clubs perception, he should retire.

I understand that 2JD - I am gutted he isn't going on but what I meant was some of the callers are sepaking like he has turned up his toes
True. A credit to Richo once again putting the Club he loves first :clapping. All the best to him post-footy in the media. Hopefully he sticks it up those who take pleasure in bagging us.
Everyone will miss the big man and pulling the pin when there was a chance he may have been good for next season proves what a champion bloke he is.
That being said this is the best result for the RFC. We need to move on and find our next Richo.

Every single player except 2 or 3 that wore the Yellow and Black during Richo's time should look him in the eye and say sorry for the pathetic performances they have shown throughout his career.
Richo played for himself and the club whereas most of these other hacks played for themselves time and time again.
I cant believe that a player like him should retire on 2 finals series, actually one as he played no part in the 95 series if i remember
I can't remember ...... Did Richo have a year left on his contract or was he to sign a new one if he went on?
defi itely give him a crack at the club in some type of role.
Ta WP. I was just wondering if there was any TPP issues (similar to Stevens) but obviously not if Richo's contract was up.I can't remember ...... Did Richo have a year left on his contract or was he to sign a new one if he went on?
He was to sign a new one if he went on
Ahhh..the imbecile rises from its medication.
Only u would presume i meant a coaching role... :wallywink
defi itely give him a crack at the club in some type of role.A career in the media awaits the big fella. He'll probably have a bigger role at Ch 10 next year.

Matthew Richardson retires from AFL
Jon Ralph | Herald Sun
The Tigers will have more than a dozen new players at the club next year on a list which is virtually unrecognisable from Terry Wallace's side this year.

Monk show a bit of class.
Will never be the same without Richo. But change opens up windows of oppurtunity we can only hope someone crawls through it with half as much passion Richo had and I'd be happy.
All the best Matthew and hope your still around the club for a long time.
Richo Richo Man I wanna be a Richo Man!!

Didnt take long for the "I knew first" moron to step up. Ever stop to think that most of us probably had a fair idea that he wouldnt play on, that we were just hoping he might? Nothing wrong with hoping.
Dont know why you dont have a bigger role down at the club with all your knowledge, oh thats right, your best work is done on a keyboard on internet forums!
Well said Froars and 2JD. It's so sad that someone who was such a strong and loyal part of the Club go. Will we ever see anyone of that calibre again down at Richmond? Why shouldn't we be allowed to grieve the retirement of such an icon? Some of you guys bagged Richo, saying he was holding back the club, selfish player, not a team player etc. And yet, especially this season when he only played a handful of games, we still ended up second from the bottom. No more excuses for Morton, Riewoldt and the likes.Gonna be a sad day for a lot of people the first game next year and he's not with us.
Also big shame that big-mouth Ricky Nixon had to blab it to the media before Richo could tell his team-mates. And that Richo doesn't get a farewell game and a chance for the Tiger faithful to see their hero one last time and for his team-mates to chair him off the ground.
I'm on holiday - there's only so much crap from you I can bear lol
Yeah, that's right, everyone can do without the heart and soul of the club ::)

What you were hoping he would play on, oh my ;D the bloke played his guts out & you's wanted more out of him :lol
his the oldest man in the league with bad legs from being over worked. His a ICON of the club because he stood out so much. None of his team mates shared his passion but had thier hand stuck out for payment & under the desk deals :shh where are they now all Rich & not remembered cause of no success
So no-one was developed around him & even Richo's development suffered ;D but his time was up. The rule changes of the game are taking its toll on the players. Career spans are tops 10 years now if your body is able to withstand the preasure & pace of the game.
How good could Richo have really been if he had the development that other clubs had, we will never know, but can tell you fact this is the reason the club is suffering
The club will suffer more now that there is no-one developed to take his place while he was burning up the wing in his best year at the club. There is also no-one on the wing that drops into the backline or pushes forward & kicks goals like Richo was doing unless we draft the types of Butcher & Connerly & build around them.
l simply said Richo was finished long ago because l knew of his injuries ;D but when l said this & that, l get shot down & called oh moron & all other things. Well Karma is a bitch lol
Whats happened Oh thats right Richo retired ;D great choice his a very respected footballer & great bloke
So 2JD you say why aint l down at the club ;D
Let me tell you if they had someone like me down the club ;) This is what l think the club needs & should have been doing 10 years ago & Richmond had every chance to get it right, but had the wrong people running the club in several positions mainly the presidents who are weak & dont fight hard enough to get what the club wants
The players would not be skinny or have bad skills. Development would be #1 on the list followed closely by new medical & rehab personal.
A gag would be put on the players & staff, the club would be in lockdown with only the CEO & the coach doing media to AFL requirements
It wouldnot take long to sort the players out suited to modern day football to the pretenders who are clutching at straws
The Coburg side would get the flick & a reborn Richmond reserves in the Richmond jumpers to spark some light into the club & keep the standard high.
A time limit put on players to rise to the required AFL level or get moved on quickly reguardless of there previous background
Every player on the list would be rotated to put thier talent on show & l could gaurentee l could make top line footballers out of Collins, Edwards, Conners,& King in damaging roles built around KPP
These are just basic football things that you learn a club needs to change. if a high profile player is broken then show him the door, l'm talking about Coughlan, Brown, Simmonds, Polak dont hang onto them if they dont produce.
Anyway but Richo retiring will start a new era at Tigerland & there can be no-more excuses why this club cannot go forward after this draft
Also big shame that big-mouth Ricky Nixon had to blab it to the media before Richo could tell his team-mates. And that Richo doesn't get a farewell game and a chance for the Tiger faithful to see their hero one last time and for his team-mates to chair him off the ground.
Fair dinkum, its like talking to a brick, so, I give up! I will say though that, of course I wouldnt have wanted more out of him if he had nothing left to give, I was HOPING he would get up, but given his age and injuries probably knew he never would. I now wish him all the best and am looking forward to the future of the club, doesnt mean I cant have a sooky moment though! :gotigers
Ps, there are people like you in pretty much every workplace in the world, bignoting themselves and knowing everything...they are called bores!

Actually Julz it isn't a shame it is an absolute disgrace that Ricky Nixon could not allow the man who's made a lot of $$$ for him over the last decade+ do things this his way. Richo would have anted to tell his teammates and the CLub first. That he wasn't able to is nothing short of pathetic
Always knew Ricky was a W"ANKER - I just didn't realise on what a grand scale :wallywink

I will say though that, of course I wouldnt have wanted more out of him if he had nothing left to give, I was HOPING he would get up, but given his age and injuries probably knew he never would. I now wish him all the best and am looking forward to the future of the club, doesnt mean I cant have a sooky moment though! :gotigers
Ps, there are people like you in pretty much every workplace in the world, bignoting themselves and knowing everything...they are called bores!
Sorry to bore you 2JD l was adding to my post when you posted,
Hey l'm not having a go at you l'm just stating some things that l said along time ago & even last year but some posters are always having a shot at me & Jackstar for saying what is fact
l know Richo well, the family loves the big fella & l could show you heaps of photos with him & the kids at home. l'm not bagging him out His a champion.
l'm speaking more about the way the club runs itself & why its suffering & will continue to suffer & us frustrated supporters who will be buried with our colors, well l will be for sure ;D
Once again the club has stuffed things up simply because they played Richo against Sydney when everyone knew he was never going to come up 30% & to play him ruined his career & now the supporters will never get to send him off the way a big hearted champion should be, but who will carry him off after a game down there cause most of them are frail ;D kidding
Dont take everything to heart, this is a forum not everyone agrees & some is tongue in cheek ;D
l promise 2010 l will write all positives about Tigerland ;D oh maybe 2011 after McMahon & Simmonds are gone
my source the bionic fly ;D told me mid season he was finished
WA , your boring.Why do you even bother leaving the site
Told you 3 weeks ago, ::)
Now the rebuild can truely begin
He has been back for nearly a week now..
Interesting to see whats happens in the next week
Well come on then Jackstar give us the scoop before the press does, you do know don't you??.... :whistle
Well I do know actually, will know more today as well ;)
You can read it in the press smarty
Well looks like they beat you too it again JS, really starting to doubt your sources or you..... :whistle What was your thoughts when you read it in the press.... smarty :lol
You have trouble reading do you. ::)
As I have said, he will try and get through the pre season ( As Nixon has said )
And it was in the press the following day after I said it.
He wants to play, but a decision will be made after the pre season.
Richo does have doubts,
Keep this in mind.
He was supposely right to at Coburg but was sore in the warm ups.
Personally , I would love him to play on.
From a clubs perception, he should retire.
Hey Jacko me old mate are you any closer to breaking this story or what....... :whistle ::) :o

Oh crap, you told us poo, and only now AFTER (yet agin) something happens (story breaks) do you pipe up, and youd did not tell us mate you said he was having problems running and ra ra you quoted the press. If you told us you had problems pooting we could guess you have a cork jammed up your ass... well that probably is true.... but anyone could have guessed that, get my drift.
Talk about boring.... :whistle
:lol let hutchy give him stale news ;D

hey WA Tiger, what else do you want to know ?Raines as president? The guy who walked out on the club and encouraged his son to do so also?
Just ask away.
What about the president ? Geoff Raines was approached to take over ? mmmmmmmmm :shh

l see Richo becoming the next Billy Brownless. Icon around the club & a huge face in the media & alot of fun
Loved his club & never played in a Premiership but will flood the ground with tears when we win a flag
l amazed just how many supporters from other clubs have said they loved Richo & feel sorry for him + alot of the older generation 60 to 90+ year olds adore him ;D

who gives a stuff Jack.
Its a effen richo thread,ffs.
Can tell you he had NOTHING to do with Andrews decision. Andrew only went because of Michael Voss ;)
Geoff is actually staying in Melbourne to live

Geoff is actually staying in Melbourne to live
Who told you that Andrew or Geoff - that is very funny
And if you honestly think Geoff had nothing to do with Andrew's decision you are kidding yourself
Dad wasn't very happy with the FACT (had to throw that in) Andrew didn't get a senior game in the 2nd half of the season - that's a FACT. What seems to lost on Andrew and others is he didn't DESERVE a senior game...but who cares now
But []())([] is right this thread isn't about Geoff & Andrew it's about Richo ;D

Richo probably could of played in 2010 if its wasnt for "'Doctor Death"" sending him back on the ground against the Swans. Then again he shouldnt have played anyway in that game, but thats another story ;)
I wont hijack tis topic, but I will say this.
Geoff has nothing to do with Andrew decision.
Andrew was happy to go back to Queensland and is now living in Brisbane.
Andrew struck up a great friendship with Michael Voss when he went on the Ireland trip some years ago and actually shared a room withhim for the entire tour
Geoff is staying in Melbourne. Who told me you ask ? well both did.
Its of interest that NONE of the membrship or marketing material I have seen for 2010 didnt feature Richo at all.

Well you better speak to your source - Richo's on page 13 of the membership brochure - nice big colour picture :rollin :rollin

Grammatically Jack was quite clever, the double negative cancels itself out.
Either that or he just can't speak proper.
:thumbsup

Yeah I thought about that but what i think Jack was trying to say was that of all of the membership stuff he has seen for 2010 there was no Richo :rollin

I have only received the 'Rolling Tiger"" 2010 Statement, nothing else.
Cousins on one side
Foley on the letter side.

Well Richo's certainly in the full brochure :thumbsup
is there a audio of Richo's conference?Here you go torch
:)
Doh I posted it in the wrong thread sorry bout that :-[No need to apologise Owl. There were two threads on Richo (one about him going and one about him gone :( ) and they were merged.
deserved a better send off!Hopefully what they have planned in round 1 before the bounce will be a fitting send off :thumbsup
:'(
Can we do it after the game? We're no good at these types of games!deserved a better send off!Hopefully what they have planned in round 1 before the bounce will be a fitting send off :thumbsup
:'(
About time the team changes that weak mentality in big games. Hopefully Hardwick reminds the cubs that footy careers go quickly - just ask Richo - and don't take anything for granted beginning round 1 against the archenemy.Can we do it after the game? We're no good at these types of games!deserved a better send off!Hopefully what they have planned in round 1 before the bounce will be a fitting send off :thumbsup

Richo's still king of the kids :D

Wish he'd hurry up and have some of his own.
