There were many times Richie didn't exactly try to get to a contest no matter how hard he tried to make out he was giving his all. Kayne Pettifer was the other expert at it. No matter how talented a player is it's a concerning habit that could cost bigtime when 100% commitment to the ball is needed.

I reckon, largely thanks to his managers comments, Richie will cop massive Richmond supporter backlash when we play the Crows. If he's so upset by it now he'd better pull a sickie when we're due to meet next season.
Col.W.Kurtz said:I reckon he will turn it on against us, has the talent when motivated
rosy23 said:Only time will tell. One thing for sure is he'd be no use to us if he had another season like his last one.
velo said:Very true Rosy. People who only see games on tv don't realise this. He's not called the Witness and Ambling for nothing.
Disco Stu said:Agree, I'm still trying to work out where the first rounder came from.
Crumpet_Avenger said:thanks ya overated hack. hopefully we get the next buddy as we shoulda earlier
Disco08 said:You could see it very well on TV. The names were funny and appropriate as I've said before, but it's also no coincidence that they weren't used once on this site between round 5 last year and round 1 this year.

rosy23 said:That's when we observed it most actually. Didn't get to too many games this year. There were times we watched at the ground then watched the replay and his lack of effort off the ball, and his efforts to make out he was giving his all to get there but just failing, certainly didn't always show on telly.

I've beena supporter of him overall but am not the least bit sorry to see him leave just the same. So long and thanks for all the fish.
