Roast Ted Richards

[Wolftone]

Hasn't been anywhere near as bad as people are making out. Are you all waiting for the first sign so you can put your parents in a retirement home too ?

Yeah bloody oath. Get 'em in the old folks home. don't have to worry about the buggers getting up to mischief then. All those lovely sedatives they feed them. Bloody going to the pokies and spending my inheritance bugger them. Gees if they keep going there won't be enough for the world trip and the mansion on the cliffs at Lennox Head. Old buggers. what do they need a life for? Bloody too old for a life. But... I'm not sure the nursing home 'll take 'em. they've been dead for twenty years.

Time to put him out to pasture. Old ****er needs to retire.

Have had a few days to think about it, some other things to do, such as buying a washing machine and dryer, moving in with a busted back, getting Foxtel installed so the girlfriend can watch Teen Mom and CSI and bitching on the phone with iinet who 'made a mistake' with my nbn connection. Sigh .

Richards' last bunch of games haven't been great, if anything, have been worse than anything he showed when he was playing as a forward for Essendon. He was very poor against Richmond, giving up a lot of needless free kicks and goals and didn't do enough to beat his man. He was routinely knocked over and out bodied by midfielders weighing no more than 15kgs less than him. He copped an absolute pasting at the hands of Riewoldt and anyone else he played on.

Then Port Adelaide rolled around and his saving grace was concussion. Up until that point in the match he wasn't seeing a lot of the ball, but he was getting beaten 1-on-1 regularly, looking like quite a muppet at times.

Then the Mitchell hit. Look, if you're going to take him out, take him out properly. He was ****ing awful against Hawthorn and will deservedly be banned. We need to start blooding new players so it's time to drop him, the same we did with ROK and LRT.

Young players will always make a mistake but they will have more chance of learning from it & improve it going forward.
Ted's brother played a game two years ago.
He may not be up to it yet or ever but he may be able to run & hit a target when the ball hits the deck.
Not sure why he was kept on the list if he had no hope of playing more senior football at some point.

Pull your heads in, team has been poor across most of the players of late. Need seasoned players come finals Richards will be solid.
