    ED’S SLICE OF HISTORY … AS THE DOGS WORK TOWARDS A NEW DEAL

    Western Bulldogs midfielder gun Ed Richards carved out a remarkable slice of family footy history last week and will be looking to build on that as he and the club edge closer towards striking a new lengthy deal.

    The 25-year-old has fast become one of the Dogs’ most important players and he is a clear priority signing along with skipper Marcus Bontempelli and Adam Treloar with the trio being key members of the club’s stellar midfield.

    Insiders have expressed the boost in leadership Richards has shown in recent seasons, and that was evident last Saturday night when he and Tom Liberatore led the Dogs’ midfield in Bontempelli and Treloar’s absence with injury.

    The Herald Sun understands there is good will between the Bulldogs and the Richards camp as they look to take him off the free agency tables.

    There is no firm timeline but the two parties are working towards a positive resolution, with rival clubs believing Richards will remain in the red, white and blue next year and beyond.

    Richards scored a perfect 10 from the two coaches in last week’s round 1 win over North Melbourne.

    It took his own games tally to 126 matches, lifting his family to an outright first (1065 matches) in terms of VFL-AFL games on record.

    Richards is the seventh member of his family to play league football, dating back to his great-great grandfather Charlie Pannam Sr, who first played for Collingwood in the VFA back in 1894 before playing his first match in the VFL in 1897 – 128 years ago.

    Richards grew up as a Magpies supporter and was even pictured as a newborn in 1999 outside Victoria Park with his grandfather Ron Richards and great uncle Lou Richards.

    He was taken by the Bulldogs as pick 16 in the 2017 draft and his move into the midfield last season helped him develop swiftly into one of the Dogs’ most important players.

    He is seen as a potential future captain with the Bulldogs in the future, with the club eager to lock him away as soon as they can.
    I was only thinking about him this morning and whether he had signed up. We have Ed, Bont, Treloar and Libba all with contracts expiring this year.

    Both weren't up to it.

    Happy with this.

    Chance for someone who impresses in mid season.

    No Brew or Crossley. We've declined both of them..... All those back and forth arguments amounted to nothing except for some internet fun

    That seems to be his challenge. He's a good reader of the play and a bit slow but he can't get the continuity with his football

    I get he's a whipping boy but he'd play for a lot of sides.
    His pressure is fantastic.
    We probably have the worse small forwards in the league. VDM isn’t getting a game for anyone else.

      I think he cost us 3 games where he went off with Hamstring tightness in the first qtr and then played next week. Dont count that playing every game.
    Ok, would you count it as "Selected every game", which reflects the value the MC place on his contribution to the team.
