Richmond's younger stars face an even stiffer task in reining in one of the competition's elite midfield groups.

Better not let Roos hear that, we don't want to lose that blue collar/ cortina tag.

The reference in the article to Richardson being a big threat brings back haunting memories of what he has done to the Swans in the past. We never seem to match up too well on the big guy. He really is the major threat!

maybe they're trying to exaggerate Richmond's reputation. Nevertheless, the thought of Richardson and Leo's need for a 'step ladder', is very daunting. Swans may struggle in this match.

It is daunting, but as long as our guys force the Toigers into poor delivery to Richo, he will (hopefully) go into his self destruct mode.

In fact, LRT owned him last year.

In fact, LRT owned him last year.

The year before he had 5 or 6 straight by half time, however after half time it was the old Richo again...missing several easy shots.

I remember one year at the SCG in the rain he murdered us - while everyone else couldn't pick up the ball he was dobbing them from the boundary line. Won the game single-handed.
