I know most Tiger supporters hate him, but his 10 brownlow votes received from playing at our wooden spoon club were well deserved, just imagine him playing at another club, he would of had 20 votes.

Richo is a superstar. I've said this 1000 times before, but i guess once more won't hurt. If he was in a team that had midfielders who could actually deliver the ball to him, he would win a brownlow.

I loved on the count last night when he gave a little wink to the camera when they read out his name for 3 votes. :D

A true champion!
 
If i've offended any fellow Richo fans I apologise.

I don't know if i'm the only fan at the footy who sees other Richmond supporters turning on him when he drops a mark or kicks a behind?

Go Richo.......
 
In 2001 when we finished 3rd and had more than one avenue to goal, (as any half decent team does) Richo kicked 60 odd goals. I'd expect Richo to post similar numbers if he played for a better team. Anyone who thinks the ball would be delivered to him every single forward entry (as it is with us nowadays) if he played in a better team is deluded.

Congrats on getting 10 votes though, played some real good games this year.

Play the big fella richo at CHF and he will dominate seems the logical thing to do as he drills goals from 50-60 meters yet sprays the worst kicks when 15 out, get Stafford or Ottens in the goal sqaure, they both can take a decent grab and both can quick straighter then richo when in closer, seems as tho when the tigers have played richo & one of the other big blokes deep theyve seemed to spoil each other, stafford and ottens both have the ability to kick 3-5 goals a game on a regular basis if given the chance to be a main target themselfs up forward while richo could chip in with a few goals a game from chf and richo himselfs has some footy smarts and can hit a target failry well so it seems the smart thing to go play him up the ground more, give the deep attack to stafford ottens or shulz and we may solve a problem or we may not but it would be worth a punt, we cant be as bad as what we were this year could we
 
It's definitely a love hate relationship the supporters have with Richo

I love Richo all the time! Anyway, when i first saw the market on the Tote/Tabsportsbet they were offering $2.40 for Richo to get the most votes by a tiger followed by Bowden at around $2.50 and Browny out at $3. I thought this was the best odds i'd ever seen, thought he was a shoe in. Then realised that Browny would poll very close to Richo, but didn't think Bowden would get close. JB polled a little better than I thought he would since he played well during the 14 game losing streak. I ended up only putting a small wager on just before the brownlow medal started and i got odds of less than $2! Serves me right for waiting so long!
 
Most Tigers LOVE Richo, not hate him ya dag!

IIRC in 95 when he went down at the SCG with the knee injury he was actually leading the Brownlow on around 10 or 11 votes.. and that was at around round 7 I think.

No doubt about it, the umpires notice Richo.
 
If people ever do bag him at games - and I might add they get chastised for it by other Richmond fans - then it is only because he is one of the only few players worth putting expectation of success on.

I think he is a great player who will miss out on what he deserves because he loves the club. Thats a reason why i have so much venom towards the duds in our team and our former dud coach.

Agreed, if we can get some decent delivery to him, and a coach who will not allow him to be doubled teamed for an entire game, he will win a lot of matches for us, he's our only genuine match winner.
