Richo would have been a mega champion in a champion team. Instead, he had to settle for being an absolute champion in a struggling team. And to boot, he's a bloody good and decent man.
You are a flog.Tigaman said:Dud !! The dud was Richo full stop. 1993 to 2009 & made finals twice ( Doggies done better that that). Remember Ottens. Could not give him a pay rise as there was no spare cash due to Richo's bucket. Ya groan & moan why Tigers wallow in their lack of success & truth is Richo should have been moved on. Lockett ,Hall ,Judd & now Franklin were moved on. Plough never took on Roughie & Franklin because Tigers had Richo. Rest is history & it comes back year after to bite Tiger true blues on the bum. The Richmond Football Club is about winning premierships & being in the hunt year after year. During Richo's tenure at the club this was not achieved & he was TOP GUN.

Tigaman said:Flog..yeah we have been flogging dead horses at Tigerland for so long we are now the laughing stock of the AFl world. Drovers dog out the back of Kalgoorlie was given a Tiger beanie. p!ssed on it & said " wear it ya gotta be joking ". Missus & I watching the Catters/Bluebaggers game tonight on Fox. Quarter time on comes Richo & Carey gobbling on. Missus says "there the girl ". Knew who she was talking about. Said to her " out of those two who would ya like to put their shoes under ya bed ". Reply " besides you my love only Boofhead from The Bool. Yes Brownie. Well after 30 years in the doldrums one is of the opinion, the pro Richo lot on this site think the only thing to be positive about is RICHO & His Hall of Fame. Tigers of Olde we say. Gunna be along time before we can roar with Tiger pride.
Don't want to bag Jack, but in the two years he's won the Coleman medal he's kicked less than Richo kicked in 1996, the year he came back from a major knee injury and kicked 91 goals. Richo was a deadset champion, if you can't see it that's your loss.Tigaman said:Richo..how many Coleman Medals did he win ?. None. Jack.. two already & leading the pack at the moment. Give me a Jack anytime than a hissy fit Queen when the ball was not delivered to him on a silver plate.
I was at the first game of the '96 season. I think it was against the Bombers and he kicked 6. It was like he'd never been away. People also forget he missed most of 2000 with that weird foot injury. Probably would have made finals in Frawley's first year without that, although Matt Rogers made a decent replacement goal kicker. Even in the first loss against Geelong in '95 he still kicked 6 in a side that was absolutely belted. Had he not done the knee we could have ended up in a GF, I highly doubt Northey would have left then, despite the massive wad of cash Brisbane were waving at him, and who knows what would have happened.Kaelan said:Still don't think Richo gets enough recognition for that 96 season. 91 goals coming off a reco that happened at the half way point of the 95 season ...incredible effort
New news to me. In fact, that is exactly why it was exactly the right time to take one of them, Richo was getting on by then and why it was so unbelievable that we didn't pick up a young replacement.Tigaman said:Plough never took on Roughie & Franklin because Tigers had Richo.
Remember that season, think it was 2008, where he was played off the wing a lot of the time? It was just amazing to see a guy his age and size running a game out that way. He was an absolute freak physically.hutstar said:New news to me.

Otherwise, you're an idiot. Calling a guy who kicked 800 goals a dud lacks credibility when you can't even put a sentence together.
