Yeah, he saves his worst kicking for the pies. Once again he played a bit of a shocker last Thursday
I love Richo because he wears his heart on his sleeve and shows his passion for his club. (Unlike a certain Juddas ex-captain of our club). He is great to watch, his athleticism is amazing for a man of his size. I remember a game at Subi when he and Glassy were jumperpunching each other - and next minute (when the ball was at the other end) were sharing a chat and a smile. He has always been my favourite non-Eagle player - although now he is second as a new Richmond recruit has now taken that mantle Anyone who doesn't like Richo doesn't know much about footy.

I don't care what Dogs fans think, but just about everyone so wanted Richo to win the Brownlow last year ...
I've never heard so much applause for a player getting votes when Richo was racking them up towards the end ...
You can question his kicking at goal at times and sometimes his behaviour on field, but you can never question his heart ...

I love Richo because he playes for Richmond, and therefore no threat to us whatsoever. If he played for a good side, he'd be a real problem.

Richo is to the AFL world what Eric the Eel is to the swimming world.

I'd like to have a beer with Richo. Not sure I'd say the same about Tredrea or Cornes though.
There's some pretty rough blokes around here.
Hard to say I can swallow all the man-love this bloke gets, but he's such a character and gives it his all that it's hard not admire him. That, and his loyalty to a club that has struggled for most of his career, which you don't see so much of these days.
He just seems like the guy who would just love to talk footy over a beer, no pretensions to him.

I seem to remember him tearing you guys apart in his 200th game.
Jeez, lucky you weren't at my place that night mate....I would have murdered you! I was in tears too, of rage and frustration. I hated that game.
Interesting comment, as I've been told this, or similar, by opposition fans a few times, mostly in WA. The guys I have spoken to reckon he is bad for the club, brings morale down, etc. I have been very surprised at the amount of love for Richo on BigFooty. I thought everyone would be constantly bagging him.
Luckily, they locked me up long ago......this computer is my only contact with life outside the asylum
I tell you what boys reading all this richo love has made my day
What a guy,what a player, what a legend. GO RICHO in09

Apologies to those who've already posted this.
I love Richo because he is as great as one can be whilst still being as pathetic as one can be. In other words, he's a human. He's no machine, no well drilled specimen that can be relied up like a computer until it's superceded. He is mercurial and sensational. All the while you know that just like Melbourne's weather, the winds of fortune will change regarding Richo. And just to contradict myself, here's why I love Richo. Inspite of it all, the success, failure, the in-between, he's still a loveable guy. Still a human. Perhaps there's no more contradiction than we all have there?
Post Scriptum: I'd love Richo to hold the premiership cup aloft in a Tiger's jumper. Perhaps Geelong, Hawthorn, and spoilers like the Pies, Roos, Eagles, Adelaide, etc can let it happen?

I love him because he's one of the most human players playing. Gary Ablett and Lance Franklin are freaks, no denying it. Richo, on the other hand, displays emotion, can stuff up easy shots, and makes simple mistakes, whilst still being able to play brilliantly.
I hope he doesn't retire this year, deserves to hit the 300.

Love him because he wears his heart on his sleeve on the football field. Something which very few players do in today's game.
You just have got wonder what could have happened if he played for someone with the success of let say Essendon during his career. He could have and imo would have gone easily past the 1000 goal barrier.
Having said that the loyalty he showed Richmond was and is unbelievable.
