The unknown players in footy commentary at this stage are retired champions Matthew Richardson and Matthew Lloyd.

Both are likely to be on the airwaves next season, with 3AW and SEN the leading suitors.

Lloyd always reminded me of Hymie the robot from Maxwell smart for some reason, could be his wooden responses, be interesting to see how he fares on the radio.  Richo should be a bit of a laugh with his dry wit and honest observations.  Going to be a very strange feeling without the big unit being around as a trump card somewhere on the paddock next year, scotch and coke doesn't fill the hole in the gut either.

The great man's fame stretches around the world 


Tonight at Etihad Stadium Eddie Vedder has dedicated the Pearl Jam song 'Given to Fly' to Richo.

Apparently called him a Richmond legend and said he was handsome.

If that doesn't make Richo a fricken superstar I don't know what does!

Vedder dedicated Lukin to Ross from the Melbourne rockers Cosmic Psychos and proudly paraded a Richmond jumper.

Tigers legend Matthew Richardson was even name-checked on-stage, although Vedder called him Mark when dedicating Given to Fly to him. He corrected himself a few songs later.

No need to apologise Owl. There were two threads on Richo (one about him going and one about him gone  ) and they were merged.

It's going to be interesting if Richo opens up a bit more about the side and the footy-side strength and weaknesses of his former teammates now he's full-time in the media. Richo has been fairly honest in his media commentary so far.

Richo slips back     
Herald Sun, 03-12-2009, Pg: 101

HE IS back training, but there is no chance of him playing. Recently retired Richmond great Matthew Richardson was seen having a run with Old Xaverians on Tuesday night.......

Richo on SEN after 1pm

* Richo was asked if there was anyone at Punt Rd who is next to step in an emotional sense with fans to replace him. Richo said one thing he knows from Hardwick is from now on it will be all about team and not the individual. From what Richo has seen of the first 2 weeks of preseason training Hardwick is about disciplined team brand of football. Not the emotional kind of thing.

* Got a corky holding the pad in marking practice at Devonport training lol. Felt the buzz again actually being around footy training.

* In the media will try not to be too critical especially initially.

* Hopes people think of him as someone who just gave his all for the Club ... perhaps went over the top at times with the emotion.... but did his best and was a one-club player for Richmond.

* D-Day Monday meeting with Benny Gale about a role at the Club. Ambassador role with coterie and sponsors. Well that's what he is hoping for.

* Is part of a horse syndicate with Newy.

* Doesn't believe he is a chance today with the Madden medal given others do far more valuable off-field stuff. Thinks Harley or Joel will win it.

deserved a better send off!
