Wallace got alot of praise moving him to the wing but I reckon it ended his career sooner.
He wouldve destroyed it in this era.
If Curnow gets 70 goals Richo would double it. 10 times better
just prior to the move to the wing people here and on BF and Y&B were screaming for him to be traded .., even delisted
people had enough of the goal kicking yips and the dummy spits
I had ventured down to Melb. with my youngest son for our annual Tigers Lions game
went to a training at Punt Rd , Richo was taking casual shots at goal from the 50 mtr arc
I counted 20 , no misses , all thru the middle , but he was relaxed
He started on the wing and it was the game were the Lions dominated and were 39 pts up late in the 3rd
Richo to full forward, kicks 3 , straightens up our attack and we win , the crowd of 35,000 lifted the roof
a Richo on fire was a thing of beauty
on the wing did it release some pressure and expectation ? who knows but it worked , the *smile* behaviour seemed to disappear
