2009 Rate a Season: #25 Ted Richards

[caj23]

Find 2009 very hard to rate, although I consider him as a starter in our 22 at this stage

I note the comments regarding his forward play, I'm a bit perplexed

I can't remember him ever having a decent stint in the forward line, he was always played back. I thought he could of got a crack last year in between Barry's blow up and Jessies late end of year form but that boat has probably sailed now with Bradshaw's arrival.

The only time I can really remember him forward was in the first few pre-season games in his first season with us

I think some of us have remembered when he got dragged up the ground (to the delight of those who know he can take a good mark and kick a goal) by opposing players who made the mistake of not knowing that he could. He did some very good spot work for us this year. The english got convoluted, but I am blowed if I know how to fix it.

6 for the season plus 2 points for bloody guts and glory.

I THINK I'm with you Primmy, but only cos I usually agree with you..

I put in brackets Roy, and now I think it makes more sense!

We can instantly improve our lineup in 2010 by not playing Richards.

Makes far too many howlers and the opposition target him when he has the footy.

Kennelly in - Richards out - QED.

5/10 -I like Ted but some of his errors at crucial times in that middle strech of the year were pretty poor even by his standards.

This.

The barometer was off this year. He was generally good whilst we were generally @@@@e. Played with a lot of commitment and heart. There's a few in the team that could take a leaf out of his book. GFood year which probably would of been better had he some supoport from his team mates. Suggest that we might see him drift fwd a little more next year and grab a few goals. I'm looking fwd to it. :d

Hope he doesn't drift forward - his set shots are pretty ordinary. With Jesse, Bradshaw, Goodes and possibly Johnston and Currie at different times, I'd be surprised if they play him there anyway.

I don't question his commitment but he does my head in with some of his shocking turnovers and I hate it when he's got the footy and has no idea what he's going to do with it.
