18. Richmond -Robert Tarrant.
Press release filmed in the sumptuous garden acreage of the Redford Toorak manor.
After 3 years of recruiting every half back flanker this country has to offer, and what can only be descriibed as one of the astutest assaults on under weight talent, we deem that that phase of our recruiting strategy an unmittigated success.We now feel it is time to take the less relevant but seeminlgy fashionable first key postion player since 2002.
Standing at 196cm and 90cm we feel that 'Robbie' has all the attributes to succeed long time and to soon retire club champion Matthew Richardson.Strong contested mark, prodigous kick he has struck fear into anybackman who has dared to get in his way during the TAC 2007 season.
The Richmond Football Club feel that we are not putting any undue pressure on 'Robbie' when we declare that he will indeed be the new Johnathon Brown.
I'd just like to thank the continued support from many members of the Punt Road End forum, particularly those who suggesteed our plan to take so many flankers was somewhat 'bold'.To them I'd just like to send a special cheerio.
