I just posted this in another thread as an addition to the Rd1 tribute, but (masybe foolishly) I have decided to take it further.

Why don't we all email the mob that manage the EJ Whitten Legends Game and implore then to have Richo play in next year's game??? I just sent mine and I reckon if enough of us do so they may just approach The Great Man and invite him to be involved. If he WAS to play then they'd need to open the top tier at Eihad to cater for us all.........

Just go to their website and submit a message:

If his hammy is OK for that, he can bloody well play for us.

Seriously, I'm sure he's top of their wishlist already.

If he has the op now, he can use the Legends game as preparation for his comeback in 2011. :theyareontome

Tim Watson style. ;D
 
might be a few tiger retirees playing in that one.
 
Well Richo played tonight. I saw about 5 minutes in total. The biggest load of garbage the AFL has come up with yet.

An insult to EJ's memory.

Do it properly, or don't do it at all.

YEah that was embarrassing and pretty much unwatchable. I got through 5 minutes which was probably 4 minutes more than most

Exactly. It’s unwatchable. I’m sure he would be stoked to know it’s become a Mickey Mouse game played on a rugby field.
 
They’re making a mockery out of wearing the BigV.
If that’s the best the AFL can come up with during the Bye, just get rid of it.
The fight of the fittest.
 
Same. Couldn’t get through five minutes of that. An embarrassment to EJ’s legacy. What on earth were they thinking?
 
I watched the last bit. Richo starred then managed to miss from directly in front to lose the game in the shootout when the pressure was on. Brings back fond memories.

As good as Richo was he was always the front/centre of the jokes brought towards the club.
Missing that goal just proved it.
 
For the quiz night, Richo holds the record for the most accurate goal kicking season.

saw 3 minutes and changed channels, agreed it was totally garbage. The commentators were trying to bring excitement into the game. No tackles, no man on man, sorry if this is where this charity game is heading, I feel sorry for the organisers, people will not turn up.
 
For those who watched, did Richo deliberately miss to keep in spirit of the game?
 
I watched 2 minutes of it & totally regret losing those 120 seconds of my life.

What a disgrace to E Js memory, I'm not sure if he's grave bound or in an urn, but either way he'd be doing 360 degree rotations in disbelief.
 
Yep. A pathetic attempt from Gestapo Gill to bring back that AFLX disease again?
 
The only way they could save the whitten game is to rename the VFL grand final.
The Whitten Trophy
Start the season first week in March
And play the reserves grand final in the bye at the Telstra dome.

Whiten state of origin.
Just pick the players who aren’t playing finals.
