Richo's 200th

[turtle27]

All, maybe premature considering the possibility of injury, but all going well Richo will play his 200th against Port at Telstra Dome in Round 6, on Sun May 1st.

I urge all Tigers fans to get down there so we can honour this bloke.

Despite his flaws, he has played his guts out for Richmond over the last 12 seasons since starting as an 18 yerar old in 1993, and deserves our plaudits.

Here are his achivements to date:

2nd best and fairest 1996, 1999, 2002;
All-Australian 1996, 1999;
International Rules Series 1999;
Leading goalkicker 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004; AFL Rising Star nominee 1993;
Alex Jesaulenko Medal 1996

Richo, currently on 580 goals, should also pass 'Disco' Roach and move into third posy on the overall Tigers goal kicking list behind KB and 'Skinny' Titus. he may even get second if he can play another three years, KB is on 778.

He has been a fantastic servant of the club, and 40,000 Richmond fans standing and applading is just deserts for a fantastic career so far.

Ill be there...hope we could get over the line for the bloke. Doubt it though.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Yep, Ill be there...

We will win.

Just a shame it has to be against Port!

As much as Richo frustrates us, he has been an amazing player for the club. This bloke would literally bleed yellow and black. We all must do the right thing and celebrate this milestone with him. An absolute true clubman.

I guess you could say that we wouldnt be where we are without him

 

[Colonel Matrix]

I'll be there with bells on... yelling the chant!

 

[Harvey Leadpipe]

Richo is one of us. He abuses most on our list too.

He'd die for our club, and I love the bloke. Will be cheering you all night ya big volatile unit.

I can't believe what i just heard. So you are saying that Richo is part of the problem that we have been down and on the bottom of the ladder? You've got to be joking! LOL. So typical of some tiger supporters who have NFI. Without Richo, we would have won the spoon for the last 5 years without a doubt. CLUELESS!!!

GO TIGES!!!

Well done to our dear old big fella !

LMAO @Richo and his ways.

Well done to our dear old big fella !

LMAO @Richo and his ways.

as opposed to just our "old fella"

 

[beaver's army]

ill be there for sure
richo is richmond. he is the face of the club.he has been the best foward since he started playing for us in 1993.

 

[JohnF]

I've never been a big fan of his, but this is probably due more to the fact that he recieves too much appreciation from the Tiger faithful -more than he truly deserves given his erratic ways - than for the reason that he can't play.

There is no doubting he has been amongst the top handful of players to play for the club in the last 15 years and a player capable of anything on his day.

 

[sante]

i will be watching it on the TV

 

[2 jam donuts]

as opposed to just our "old fella"

or his old fella lol

 

[julzqld]

Woohoo. The one game I'll be in Melb for!!!

 

[turtle27]

Bump

C'mon Richo tear Porta new one, should reach 600 goals also this Sunday

 

[turtle27]

Shyte sorry, just saw Sante's thread.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

RICHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Imagine the crowd starts cheering "Richooo, Richooo". Tigers have the game in the bag and are up by 30 points. Magic.

 

[bluehouse]

It would be fantastic - I hope he kicks 7

 

[sante]

I hope he marks the ball about 15m out on a slight angle and has a kick after the game to win it for us (He scores it of course)


Turtle27, he deserves 2 threads

Port are ripe for the picking.Would rather be playing them than some other teams at the minute.A good start would do wonders as they are playing selfish football and if they get behind they could well implode.Richo's worst career performances have easily been against Port-what better time to buck the trend.Tigers by 34pts Richo 5.
