Richo is uncoachable. he is an althlete, He is not a footballer,should I say he doesnt think real smart like a good footballer should.
he continually leads to the pockets.
He is suppose to be a leader at the club and he continually bags his own teamates.
His kicking is like School boy stuff.
Ok, he wears his heart on his sleeve, BIG DEAL.
He is 29, he is not getting any younger.
He is dreadful below his knees.
Compare him to Kouta, Carey. All good below there knees.
Richo vision and decision making is poor.
How many times does he handball to a player who is in a worse situation, all the bloody time.
This is guy is supposed to be a superstar ??
He is a big under achiever who wants to blame everyone else bar himself.
Trade him I say.
he isnt as good as everyone thinks.
Everyone is scared that if he goes some where else that he will kill them, what crap.
His kicking is NEVER going to improve, its a flaw in his game, like a tennis player who cannot serve, you are never going to change him.
As for the contested marks issue, pointless marking the ball 50 metres out deep in the pocket all the time.
Didnt any watch TY Zantuck play up forward the other week, he actually lead from the goalsquare. When he did mark the ball,he was only 35-40 metres out on quick leads.
You dont need coaches to tell you that, its something players with footy smarts just do.
Just to finish off, remember back to round 1 in the Wizard Cup. We played The Demons and they put some unknown on him and beat him, since then, other clubs have paid Richo little or no respect and thats a fact, I can assure you of that.
The Tiger faithfull love him, the opposition dont really worry about him,they only worry if he kicks 4 or 5 early in a game but that is only just a memory these days.
Think of the last time some other team actually played a spare man back on Richo when he was killing them, I cant, can you. enough said.
