I just read a snippet about Joel's charity work in Greenberg's Grabs and it made me think what a wonderful assett Joel is to our club.

He was recently recognised by the AFL when a runner up (to Xavier Clarke) in the 2005 Community Leadership Award. Joel was nominated by the Tigers for his charity work, particularly with the North Richmond Housing Estate. He received $2000 to be put towards the charity of his choice.

I think Joel is our best public speaker. He's articulate, intelligent and sensible.

I don't know why Danny dropped him from the leadership group but thankfully Terry restored him because he's a wonderful role model for the kids coming through.

For a player who's copped so much, often unfairly, from supporters he's really turned things around and would have to have almost universal respect from Richmond fans now.

Congratulations Joel....you do the Richmond Football Club and all associated with it proud.
