Appreciation thread for one of the best and most loyal Brisbane Lions players post premiership era if not all time. Been one of my favourites since we drafted him with pick 7 in 2008(Time flies, feels like just yesterday he was shaking Vossy's hand on draft day in a Lions polo!) and one of the rare shining lights during a very difficult period for this club. Shame he didn't get the fairytale ending he deserved but the door is still slightly ajar and I am so glad he was able to play finals in the latter part of his career. Rich receiving a handball just outside 50 and the noise of anticipation from the crowd for one of his long bomb goals will always be an iconic part of Brisbane Lions folklore! I am going to miss watching his beautiful left foot kick!
275 games, rising star winner and an AA jacket over a 15 year career. One club player. Could not have asked for much more!
