I hate the Richmond supporter/Franklin cop out. For whatever reason Richie didn't quite perform as expected. I felt, rightly or wrongly, that he had the talent to be a lot better than he was. His words on leaving Richmond were disappointing but he didn't exactly back them up by starring at Adelaide. I wish he was in his prime now, playing to the potential we thought he had, and helping us win our next premiership. Alas not to be. A nice bloke and I wish him all the best.
