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 ;)

mains reason why his career finished the way it did

Terry Wallace couldnot care less & didnot have the Richmond football club in his best interests
The doctor should have his licence to practise revoked & the coach should have been sacked that day
The selectors should have been sacked for selecting him in the first place
Richo was selfish & didnot think about the team things or his team-mates & it clearly cost Richmond the game playing 1 short
Richo brought the end of his career on himself & RFC helped him.
if he didnot make any of them decisions he would have played 2010 & made 300 games which is truely sad

Why is it that the club even allowed Richo to an attempt a comeback with ony a few games of the season left - A 34 year old bloke, recovering from tearing his hamstring off the bone? What was there to gain for anyone in him trying to play elite football at that stage? The football department should have made the decision once the seriousness of the injury was realised ;Thats it season over for you. See you pre season 2010, no ifs, no buts.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

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.

Fair enough that's you were told but it isn't what I heard on a cold winter's day at Coburg  ;) ;D

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.

from today's Herald-Sun (pg 72):

THE other Tiger in the headlines this week moved around Kingston Heath yesterday and rarely attracted a glance. Matthew Richardson, who retired as one of the greatest Richmond players of all time on Friday, cut an inconspicuous figure on the course.

21 years old and Richo has been the sole light down at Punt Road for many many years for me. Has been my favourite player since I started following footy and the Tigers. Was devastated to see that he had to call it a day because of his hammy.

When I heard he was retiring, I took the day off work on Friday to see his press conference and get him to sign my ‘team of the century’ print. After getting into the car park by the hesitant security guard and going into reception, my dream of meeting the big fella on that day was crushed as I was asked to leave asap as it was a closed training session and was no chance I could see the press conference.

The next morning while cooking breakfast and listening to the radio I heard that the new AV Jennings display village in Officer had Richo making a guest appearance, I called them to make sure before getting ready to make the trip. They said he would be there between 1.30-2.30. So I made the hour drive there only to find out on arrival that he wasn’t going to show due to other commitments.

Decided to give up after that for the moment, ill just wait till things die down a little then try again.
