Happy Birthday Richo

[AstuteTiger]

32,Would think he will play another 3 seasons including this one?

MB, I think Richo and TW have said on many occasions if his body holds up and he can continue to run their is every possibility that he can play to 35 or 36, perhaps in the last year or so he could play a role similar to Lynch from the Lions.

I guess the only thing that would stop him is injuries.

Ur right their MB, but how good would it be if Richo could get to 300 games, who would of thought this with all the injuries he's sustained over the years, fair effort i would say.

He deserves to get the 300.How many is he on now?

I think personally he is around the 230 mark (232 or 233)....RFC website have him at 216.....pro-stats have him at 252 but i would think that is wrong cause i don't remember him playing 250 games, his 200 was against port in 2005.

He's on about 225 I reckon.

All the best old timer. May you tear those blue scumbags a new one in rd 1 in celebration!!!!

stats.afl have him at 234

Happy Birthday Richo. You're a genuine star and great Tiger. Here's to a few more seasons of entertainment yet.

I still remember his first game at the 'G when he debuted with Duncan Kellaway.

I hope that there are a few more finals for the big fella before the curtain closes on one of the great careers.

Let's get the big fella to 300.
(Still can't work out why Campbell refused to get to 300 and ended 3 short!)

Congrats Richo. You are the heart and soul of the Richmond Football Club.

The Richmond website states, COACH Terry Wallace is adamant star forward Matthew Richardson will be fit to play in the opening round of the premiership season - Well, that sounds like an early birthday present for Richo.

He will still need to get through a few training sessions, just to give TW peace of mind - Hopefully he wont be opening his Birthday present to soon
