Why did Matthew Richardson stay at Richmond for so long?

[Slammer]

Why did he stay?

Matthew Richardson is a champion.

Yeah! Champion dummy-spitter!

agree with vince. browny def falls into the category but richo? where do i start mate you have no idea, you should go down to punt road for a day or two and you would see how much this bloke loves the club and the people at the club. character is more important than success and richo is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. everybody that reads this will never take u serious on here again.

Brooksy we cut ya some slack only cos you're only new!.... no one has ever taken him seriously There is a little Village in WA and occasionally they lose their .....

Serious comment though. I reckon Richmond would have been a better team & club had they traded Richo several years ago , regardless of his passion for the place.

I have it on good authority that the village you are referring to has recently been given a grant for "secure idiot housing".

Construction starts soon and we all hope that the security put in place does its job!

Hope the new construction work at Fremantle Oval doesn't disrupt training too much.

Gee I dunno, maybe it was the fact his dad played at the club and he's loved it all his life.

That's it.

I am scared of elevators.

Its a question alot of people have pondered over the years. Why did a talented FF like Richo stay at a club with so little ambition, talent or finals success. The answer is simple. Its the thing that all Victorian players play for. It isnt a premiership. It isnt success. Its the almighty dollar.

No playing list in the comp shows this more then Richmond. Their club culture has been ripped apart by a bunch of blokes using the club as a retirement fund. Parking their hefty wages onto them and providing little service in return. Nathan Brown, Darren Gaspar and to a lesser extent Richo are examples of this. All 3 talented players who went to a club like Richmond who care little for success really as they dont actually know what it looks like. They got a big payrise and since that day they have been able to collect their paycheques and have been able to let their careers drift away without reaching there potential.

Until Victoria and Richmond realise that success is more important then the dollars they will continue to hold down the bottom rungs of the ladder. They sold their game to W.A for a couple of mill and now it looks like the players have decided to sell success to a club like the Eagles for a easy career and a couple of extra bucks. Good decision, lets wait and see

Richo has more heart and loyalty than all your list combined.

Richo stayed because Richmond is the greatest football team ever.

So many answers, so few worthy of them.
