Never compare spuds like Hawkins to Richo ever again
The guy is a Richmond legend and one of the nicest blokes you will probably ever meet
Lol at the opening post.

At milking cows maybe, not at football.

Richo didn't fall arse backward into flags.
He's team mates with figjam.
LOL did you even see Tommy Hawkin s play in either of those grannies? 2011 especially he was a big reason that Geelong won.
Tommy Hawkins has won more grand finals than Richo won final also.

Yeah.
Hawkins is a good player but he comes across as a bit of a flog when he plays unlike Richo.
Footy fans would have been stoked for the guy when the Tigs won the flag.
Richo letting go when Richmond made it into the GF is one of the best footy moments IMO.
2.8 goals per game - seriously good even back in the 90's when goals were in fashion and excellent in to the 00's
2.0 behinds per game - marks down for inaccuracy
8 marks per game - amazing
Consistent 50-60 goal kicker whilst playing up the ground.
Injury and team prevented him from matching the 91 goals in 1996.
Blowing up at team mates really minimal impact on his overall career. He got frustrated - fair enough too - but rarely dropped his head or burnt relationships with team mates.
Hard to compare eras but I'd say from the players I've watched Richo belongs in the below Carey realm of great CHF's with Kernahan, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Jono Brown.

Ps - yes
Rofl,
One of the nicest blokes? Well let's see..notorious for giving players and spectators the middle finger salute, attacking a spectator when walking back to the rooms, berating team mates on the field when things dont go his way, cracking scott lucas in the face when he was on the ground. Yep, he sure was a nice bloke. A real role model.
Richo 8.5/10

Love richo.
In a better team could have had 1000 goals. He's not Carey but I'd hold him on a similar level to riewoldt, pav, tredrea, brereton.
A true heart and soul player and a legend of the Richmond FC.

He was a full forward, not a CHF, not that it means much anymore in todays game.
Richo was a freak. He played a lot of his footy in rubbish teams and on a lot of occasions was our only shining light. Many times when we were getting spanked and kicking 12 for the day and Richo was kicking 6 of them. A top quality mark and tough as nails. Not too many players play the following week after breaking their cheek bone. His last few years playing on a wing were a privilege to watch. Yes he missed some easy goals but he was also a great shot outside 50.
Matthew Richardson......we salute you.

Spoken like a man who most likely never actually watched him play.

Was apparently very very close to signing with Collingwood mid 2000s.

He also looks younger now than he ever did in his playing days.

His kicking wasn't actually all that bad.
He had about a 60% efficiency when shooting for goal -- it puts him well below the best but plenty of guys have had worse.
There's few things I've seen Richo get snarky at -- claims that he couldn't kick is one of them.

I saw Richo play live very early in his career & it was funny as *, was running around forward 50 like an unco giraffe & struggled to get a touch, still cracks me up. But he could seriously play, some of his onfield behaviour did get a bit tiring tho.
