Fitter than he was at the Family Day the morning after his 21st. He was not a well boy and I'm sure an adoring crowd somthering him was the last thing he needed.. As he was entering the ground my kids asked him for an autograph and he turned around and saw his mum signing them too. He let her know he wasn't impressed. We still have her autograph. :hihi
 
Richo want's a premiership as bad as everyone else & while he's fit and running and good players coming through,Let him go!

Still waiting for some ideas on how we seek to preserve Richo's career?

Richo's missed a lot of game, probably a couple of years worth, so hopefully his body has benefited in some way from the enforced layoffs. Haven't most of his injuries been bad luck kind of things rather than soft tissue concerns?

Can't rap a player in cotton wool in case he breaks a bone. Let Matty run and jump and enjoy himself. When he's playing his heart out and is happy out there Richmond win.
 
Watching The Cow gallopping around on Friday night and seeing how fit he looks up close (lost a bit of weight...thinner in the face), I reckon barring injury he's got at least another 2 years left in him. He's a physical freak the guy.
 
Play him off the bench.

Switching with Patto at CHF and Schulz at FF. That'll keep him angry - and he plays much better when he's mad. Also prolong his career.

I think it'll happen too.
I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Richo spend more time on the pine this year than previously.
Despite his freakish athleticism, he's not getting any younger and I do fear him running out games at CHF with the same enthusiam he had at 25.
It makes sense to utilise him off the bench in short bursts. The game isn't getting any slower.
 
I would like to see a quick aggressive young forward line with our experienced payers down back.

I would play Richo CHF with instructions to run, run, run and give a him a 5 minute rest at the 20 minute mark.

My fwd line is

HF Lids, Richo, Polo
FF Brown, Sarge, Krak.

I would rotate Richo with Patto (who can also relieve Simmo) Lids/Polo with Tambling/Hyde and Krak with Axel
Sarge? I'd give him a 100 minutes every week until he's either proved he can play or is a dud. Let's find out as soon as we can.

I would keep the older players (B1 B2 Sugar Tivva etc) down back with the run and carry done by Rainesy.

Can't Kicksley should play Coburg until we need him.
 
richo 32 geez the big lugs got at least 10 more yrs left in him that will give those upstarts plenty of development time at coburg where they belong.
