It's not that we don't love making him cry when he is going for goal but seriously he is the most gorgeous bloke. What a champion. Never has a bad word to say against anyone, is a gentleman on and off the field. I would buy a Richo memberships too!
You cannot seriously put Richo in a sentence with Fev and Didak unless you were saying "why can't they show a bit of class like Richo"

I wasnt a fan a few years back, but Richo has grown on me and it seems also to the masses in the past few years (gorilla hands and all! ) - he just puts in without all the hoo har. There are no gimmicks with him, no mamby pamby stuff and he really does wear his heart on his sleeve.

Despised? Richo? Matthew Richardson?
The Richo, Richo Man?
Cho-Cho?
You're kidding, right?

Possibly the most universally loved player in the comp. Last year's brownlow is testament to that. I would've LOVED to see him have taken Charlie home that night, but in typical Richo style, he had a biyatch of a game agst the Dees in rd 22.

Bleeds for his club. Tries his guts out. Wears his heart on his sleeve. His emotions in every single game are plain to all. Has been derided for his kicking, but the numbers stack up (goals v points). What the stats don't show of course are the misses from 10m out, but they also don't show the times he's nailed them from 50m on the boundary. And the contests he gets to at either end of the ground. Killed us a couple of times. Only bad coaching stopped him from killing us more. It'll be a sad sad day when he hangs up the boots - I cheered for him when I heard he'd re-signed. Hope he gets his 300.

If there were a "Richo" membership at the Tiges, I'd buy one. Seriously.

Despised was definitely the wrong word to use in the Richo context. What I should have said was his onfield emotional outbursts have won him a massive admiring audience while his onfield dummy spits and cry baby antics have broken the hearts of many a Richmond fan or something like that.

Horrible to think, but I agree with you. I used to cheer his failures in front of goal, and now I just want to give him a hug. WHAT is the matter with me!!!!!

Nothing wrong with that Ms Primmy! I used to find it a hoot that he could miss from right in front as well (but then some of our lads are capable of that too!) but you are right - just want to give him a hug and reassure him that it will all be ok (must be the middle age hormones coming into play for us laydees )
