Does he need it? He is very one sided but he will adjust. He will win over the fans and a mate reckons the red hair reminds him of Brad Hardie

Richards follows the Dalrymple patented 'rapid improvement in his U18 season' blueprint to the letter - it has served us very well in the past

Also players from the Oakleigh Chargers have served us well.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs - Ed Richards
I was almost ready to draft him with 9 so to get him and Naughton is a great outcome

And he might even allow JJ to move forward.

Welcome to the Doggies Ed.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs - Ed Richards
Welcome to the Doggies Ed, you'll certainly be easy to spot on the field with that red mane of yours!
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

in about four years when he should genuinely come good.
We've been spoiled by the progress of the likes of Bont, Stringer, McLean, Macrae and few others. If true to form of most draftees, he won't be taking JJ's role away any time soon.
TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs - Ed Richards
He looks a real metreage player. Good burst out of packs and seems to hit a lot of targets by foot. Exciting prospect.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs - Ed Richards
Some Draft Combine results for Richards
184.7cm, 78.1kg
Running Vertical Jump 80cm (top 25% of players tested)
Sprints 5mtr 1.11, 10mtr 1.81 and 20mtr 3.01 (top 25% for each distance of the players tested)
Agility and Yo-Yo tests were not strong and his 2km was a tick under 7mins
He needs to build up his aerobic base.

I did notice in one report that Richards recently grew 15 cm in a year. This seems another trait that often pops up in Dal selections.
