RICHO is a superstar! putting his anger management issues / selfishness aside (it's all cos he 'bleeds' for the club) his stats are amazing... 742 goals (508 behinds) gives him a conversion rate of about 60% which is up there with most forwards.

(lets just not try and guess how many have gone 'out on the full')

he's one of the best marks of all time and a top bloke...
how he hasn't won 5 brownlows amazes me....

Haha bigwiiwii that's put perfectly.

Basically to sum it all up, he's a selfless, hardworking unit who is the back bone of richmond.

And he should have 6 brownlows.

Mathew Richardson is in my opinion the most over-rated player in the AFL, he is a terrible team player, is always cracking it with team mates if they dont kick to him but to be fair when they do kick it to him the delivery is shocking.



id say playing with a shattered face when youre team was a certain wooden spooner was pretty team orientated, but hey people have different standards

I can't comment on his "team orientation", although I agree it was pretty gutsy playing with that smashed up eye socket. However, I can see what crazynites is referring to. He gives off really bad body language to his teammates when they don't get the ball to him. Be it because he bleeds for club or not, it still looks pretty miserable. And he has a reasonable conversion rate, but seems to go missing/miss shots when they are really needed, when the game is on the line. I'd hate to be a richmond supporter more than any other team*.. what heartache!

Who isn't! 5 mins into the game and he's already yelling at his teammates. And when he gets the ball he'll do something amazing or something hopelessly stupid.

I'm more of a G Train fan however.

Everyone loves Richo and no one loves Richmond. I love how the commentators treat him like a true champion of the game, and a tremendous athlete despite his incompetence. It's basically like Bill Lawry and any Australian cricketer, specially if they're victorian.

As a Lions fan, I can appreciate that : We have Jared Brennan. He can, in a single breath, excite you with the promise of him doing something remarkable... and make you feel let down when he screws it up

that's probably why he never was/will be captain of the club. i'm a tigers supporter and never have i felt as sorry for one of the boys as richo because of what he'll never achieve in his career... ahh well

I never said I didnt like Richo , I just said he was overated & had a few issues, Im a fan of footy, not just a Lions supporter so I think Richo deserves any praise coming to him, just I dont see why his so highly rated compared to really great forwards & clubmen (Like Johnathon Brown) , you might notice im a bit one-eyed when its comes to Johnno, he will go down as possibly one the best players ever, already has 3 preimerships to his name & still years in front of him, touch wood.

i love richo! he is the only player who seems to give a damn about richmond. i love seeing a player getting so passionate about the game. its what its all about...

So what do all the lions fans think of Merrett? he's got to be one of the worst players going around yet he still gets a game every week. Is it really that much of an honour to be known as a "fisting specialist"? (and no i'm not being dirty)

I barrack for the cats though. Sif they're not gonna win another cup this year...

To be honest Richo has Passion that every coach wants to see in all of his players. He does miss a couple of easy goals though.

I am a big Adelaide Crows supporter and great idea for a thread by the way

Mal Micheal has been playing this style for years & it hasnt done him anyharm, Merrett last year was one of the highest rated defenders for spoils & very rarely did he have a forward kick a big bag of goals on him.
