You can't say he is ********...for two reasons.

a) He played right throughout the 90's for Collingwood. Only 3 other players (Monkhorst, Brown, Crocisca, all premiership players) did that.
Monkhorst, Brown, Crosisca were all important players, Richardson wasnt. THe fact that he lurked on our list for a few years too many without making much of an impact doesnt mean you'd put him in the same category as any of the above.


b) Ho many games of AFL Football did you play?
You're really not gonna try that ******** on me?? With that kinda statement, You'd better hope youve never criticised a football player, or any professional sportsperon for that matter.

Nardz, you make it even more easier, exactly, those premiership players were all important, wheras Richo wasn't. So it is even more of an achievement of him staying in the side when he wasn't important!!!!!!!!!

I have criticised a footballer, but guess what, i used it, and it was on you :D

That's my whole point. Did he really acheive it, or did his surname acheive it for him? Would he have lasted on that list if he swapped surnames with mark mcgough?? Would mark mcgough still be on our list if he swapped surnames with mark richardson??

Ben Kinnear was in the side and played him as a tagger on Nigel Lappin every minute he was on the ground. They would rather have J Cloke play B Kinnear at CHF/FF - digrace (common sense, no BK is ******** nonsense)

The funny thing is J.Cloke played some alright games in the forward line in the latter part of this year. Probably just beat Harris, a good full back and could of easily kicked 5 goals.

Yeah, J Cloke has been amazing playing forward.

The period 2002-04 - he must have played 5 game there, and kicked only 1 goal...had no idea, dunno why MM persisted with it, especially in the GF when he had Taz and BK as the talls.

Collingwood actually have a history of debuts and forst game for a long time in finals. It's not the point though. Rocca was out and who really thought Kinnear could play or Walker was ready, let alone good enough? It had to be McKee, Richo or Molloy and Betheras had to be there too but it's all history now.

Well, if he replaced the framing of that chair, and then reupholstered it, i'm sure it wouldve been a very servicable chair.

(effectively a new chair)

I wish those 4 played instead of Walker, Cloke, Lokan & Cole maybe
