Richmond 9th.....again

[The Coon Dog]

Tom Hafey came to my footy club and could not speak highly enough of Richo as a bloke.

But he didn't speak too fondly of Malcolm Blight that night. Not too sure what the story there is.

[Happy Days]

And so did Richmond the following year with him, making him only the second player after Damien Monkhorst (Coll/StK) to play in consecutive wooden spoons with different teams.

Just desserts, aye?

As much as there are tiger haters out there i do have a lot of time for Richo, must be one of the most loyal players ever, lets face it any club would have him and he could have played in premierships anywhere else.
Yeah ok he cracks it at times , but wouldnt you playing at full forward at the Tigers, poor bloke has had to go to the wing to get the ball most of his career.

Richo has always deserved far better than to wear that jumper. I remember listening to Sam Newman after he had an onfield spat at a midfielder. Basically said that when you're surrounded by dumb footballers like Richo is you've got every right to spit.

Would kill to have Richo playing at the bulldogs.

Richo was named by George Grjlusich (an ABC and 6PR broadcaster in Perth, now passed away) as one of four players to test positive on more than one occasion to banned substances ...

Obviously I don't know how true this is with the confidentiality clause hanging over the drug testing results, no one has this sort of info ... but his sources were usually very acurate.

Puts a smile on my face that they have finished 9th AGAIN, its there spot on the ladder and thats where they should finish every single year imo.

Another thread that gets chucked in the who gives a toss pile.

Well at least this one is funny. Richmond = 9th

He was certainly not one of the original three.

I know of two more subsequent players but neither of them were Richo either.

I've never heard Richo's name brought up before.

Is this an appropriate forum (pardon the sheethouse pun) to share who the others were?

Polak was one yeah? I don't hear many rumours (wish I did - I quite enjoy footy gossip)

Ward for JMac was a master stroke. As was giving them The Tin Man. Judas hasn't set the world alight. Paul Hudson did nothing. Leon went downwards too.

I wonder who else Richmond want from us to throw their career away?

God their drafting and recruiting is almost as bad as Fremantle's.

Maybe we could get their first and second round draft picks for Eagle and Street.

Dogs win the flag.
Demons last.
Richmond 9th.
Cooney Brownlow.
Do you believe in miracles ?

The folk at Punt Rd are considering changing their theme song:

We finished 9th again
We showed some promise
But we’re 9th again
We’re getting better but
We still can’t make the eight
When even Richo’s playin’ great
We’re still behind, but don’t you mind
We’re all keeping the faith
But this will soon all change
For when the Gold Coast Marlins finally hit the scene
We include 1 more team
But the League is so mean
‘Cause they won’t add more (teams to the eight.)
And we’ll miss out again.

Nice - I liked the alcohol p.ss take in the Age when Schulz got done for drink driving - in place of yellow & black was 'bourbon & coke'
