Not sure I’ve never seen him play, his kicking is a key skill according to some on here…so potentially.Are Richards kicking skills near Daniels level?
Sounds like a round 1 lock!Valid thought, but he attacks the ball OK and has performed well in 1 on 1's from what I have witnessed.
He worried one of the much bigger forwards out of a marking contest in a recent training drill and then, when the ball hit ground level, he ran it out of defence well.
Reading the play? Humbleness? Life skills?Thats Daniels profile. What are Richards kicking skills like? Daniels was a prolific ball winner with amazing kicking skills in juniors who has to play half back at AFL. Not knocking Richards height, though at that height you usually need to be elite in a few other areas. Richards has speed but I'm wondering what else he brings that is elite?

Buy smaller jocks mate.Well PK I'm on the short side myself - getting shorter every year as my spine compresses with age too - and I've always had to overachieve just to be considered on a par with the jocks.
So I've zero sympathy for the height nazis.
You are presupposing that's possibleBuy smaller jocks mate.

It’s not. My missus buys mine or I’d stuff it up and end up with a g banger or somethingYou are presupposing that's possible
Boring heard the same joke in 1970 . . . and 71 . . .72 . . . 73 - you get my drift PT????In our group of mates we have 2 that are about 5’6. We get them to have a “midget off” every now and then to see if one has gotten taller. They both think they’re the taller one. It’s been 15 years and neither has given an inch. Literally
Not really. These 2 campaigners exist.Boring heard the same joke in 1970 . . . and 71 . . .72 . . . 73 - you get my drift PT????
Not the point PT - my point is the jokes are very old but new again to every height nazi every single year now that says something about the originality and inventiveness of height nazis doesn't it?Not really. These 2 campaigners exist.
These 2 knobs embrace their shortness.Not the point PT - my point is the jokes are very old but new again to every height nazi every single year now that says something about the originality and inventiveness of height nazis doesn't it?
Well that makes them pretty sorry specimens in that particular respectThese 2 knobs embrace their shortness.
Sadly those with height abundance regard anything less than 2 meters in altitude as being worthy of endless and witless derision.This thread has taken a strange Goodies twist, Apart Height.
Don’t think that’s entirely true... tony Shaw,' Jarryd Blair did alright.Some people simply refuse to acknowledge the achievements of smaller players.

If he gets in any trouble off field he will be a “ colourful Collingwood teaching identity”
