Richo's 250th

[Bojangles17]

Gotta get some momentum behind this, everyone with yellow & black coursing through their veins just has to be there. I wanna see over 50,000, hanging from the rafters and blow those power puffs away as we salute Richo as one of the tiger greats. Many of the youngsters on our list could do alot worse than use richo as a role model in the lion hearted effort he's put into being an elite player.

Be there

If we only win one more game for the rest of the year, l want it to be this one.

Then tank the rest!

i hope howard is there also, if he could find time to see the dahli lama -he better be there for richo's 250th

What a good idea.
Just booked a cheapo room in the city for $80.
Storm vs Raiders Saturday night followed by Richo's 250th on the Sunday.

Well by strange coincidence his 200th was against port as well and what a match that was!!! We were 40 points down and then there was carnage as we kicked 14 goals in a row to win by 10 goals!!! Richo kicked the last goal of the first half after taking a brilliant speccy to put us in front.

Best game for many years that was.

Don't worry, knowing my luck he will get injured this week and will play his 250th the week after.

All over this fella's

Another milestone year for Richo. In Round 16, he'l will play his 250th game for the Richmond Football Club.

Like his 200th, he'll be lining up against the Power from Port. Hopefully the result will go the same way as that day at T Dome a couple of years ago.

After this day, Richo will be one game behind Sheeds (251), and one game behind joining the top 10 of games played for our wonderful club.

By the end of the year, he'll finish on 256 games. If he plays on next year, there are milestones a plenty for the big fella. If he plays all of the games, 278 awaits him, assuming no injuries, or finals

Games
Dale Weightman 274
Perce Bentley 263
Vic Thorp 262

If he kicks on in 2009 he could finish on exactly 300, again assuming no injuries, and only 22 games played. Richo would equal the great Francis Bourke as the third all time game player for Richmond, and lay behind only Jack Dyer and KB in terms of games played.

Francis Bourke 300
Wayne Campbell 297
Jack Titus 294
Matthew Knights 279

Goals
KB - 778 - so a possibility that Richo could be te second greatest goal kicker this club has had.

Essentially, during the next two years after this one, Richo will entrench himself into the Richmond record books. And needless to say, all accolades are thoroughly, and utterly deserved.

We love you Richo, ya big doofus.

gotta strange feeling we might be getting some "unexpected" announcment before the season finishes too dude. Going by the threads about his "hints", me thinks the big fella is going to hang em up.
I guess the new era is about to begin.
As much as we all love Richo, and being a realist, its time to change the scenery up forward and see if something different can evolve.

 

[Richo is God]

he will play next year and probs the year after that

your probably on the money, but get the feeling that the time has come where he is, and dont get me wrong, holding up young traffic.

 

[Richo is God]

but its richo, no one ever wants to see him retire

 

[NICK94]

so its geelong if he misses a few for one thing or another, otherwise its port.
