Matthew Richardson

[woota]

Was he really one of Richmond's top 10? While he was one of the game's most gifted athletes ever, the problem was his temperament and vitriolic behavior. He may have actually failed to live up to his true potential, as he could have accomplished even more if he had a better head on his shoulders. His career was a whirlwind of injuries, miraculous play, petulant behavior and atrocious kicking.

 

[Equus]

Yes.

 

[woota]

Yes.

Was he one of the top 10 forwards to ever play the game?

Your obsession with Richmond and our players and history is flattering. Would you like to buy a membership and maybe Matthew can give you a tour of Punt Rd and the Richmond museum. You can look at our new Premiership Cup.

 

[Tandy]

Had every right to blow his gasket most games. His team mates let him down nearly his whole career. Generally speaking, not trying to start a our players in that time were better than your players etc. he did very well and is well and truly top 10 at Richmond in my unqualified opinion.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

It's scary to think what he would've achieved if he had a good team around him, one of the most gifted players i've seen, seems like an awesome dude too, love him as a comments man.

 

[Righteo]

yeah they can probably find room for a bloke who kicked 800 goals

Should have kicked 1000+

ROFL. My favourite thing about him was how he used to give people the finger when they pissed him off. And when he cracked scott lucas in the ****ing head in a richmond v essendon game.

Ok.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Why you so obsessed on deciding who you think Richmond's top 10 are? While also poking Richmond fans

 

[ThaiTiger]

Should have kicked 1000+

So you do think he's great then. Only 5 players have kicked more than 1000. Do you want to meet him? You have to buy a membership first.

Ask yourself champ, you put him in this list.

Can we just stop this crudbucket from creating any more threads on the main board?

I've crunched the numbers over Richmonds history, Richo comes in 9th.

Nestled right in between Peter Czerkaski and David Honeybunn.

What about the insane courage of Knights and Cambell?

Funnily enough, that was Richmonds dynamic midfield duo during much of Matthews career, i reckon Richo did well to kick 100 goals.

Wayne Cambell was the softest decent footballer i've ever seen, i used to call him footsteps.

Bring back thepacemaker.

Chris Knights and Blair Campbell?

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Chris Knights and Blair Campbell?

They're probably related.

 

[JVseven]

I like Richo.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

I like Richo.

Everyone loves him, he's a natural in the media, he doesn't add anything but just knowing he doesn't give a **** warms the cockles.

 

[Benny78]

He's essentially a worse version of Hawkins. So make of that what you will.
