It takes courage to stay that long at the Tigers?

[Industrial Fan]

Perhaps N.G. Brown could be a candidate. He had the courage to ask to be traded there.

I am not sure how Jonathan Brown is most courageous at Brisbane? He's the biggest and strongest player in the AFL and just runs over the top of people

[ScottH]

Richo played with a fractured cheek bone, maybe that is why. Or was it to do with the ball in the face incident at training, not long after it happened

Balls in the face. If only Layby were here.

I think that he gets it because of his total commitment to the ball. Running back into packs etc where many would shirk it knowing there was a collision coming. Of course it would help being so big - the opponent is likely to come off 2nd best more often!

Maybe with Richo they're just suggesting the Tigers are a pack of gutless players and he's the best of a bad bunch?

It was a bit embarrassing for him.

[Industrial Fan]

It's a bit funny he's so enthusiastic to cover the swans training with that in mind...

They spoke about this on SEN yesterday, He and Lonergan, were nominated for courage of over coming serious illness to return to the field, rather than being courageous on the field. Kirk nominated him as the potential winner.
