Crikey there's some vindictive wankers on this site.
If i were Ted Richards i'd be over the moon - he's gone from a club that finished 15th to a Grand Finalist team, he's getting regular game time, he played very well in the biggest game of the year, and he's probably getting paid a shitload more in Sydney.
I don't see why some people feel the need to spite him at every opportunity. Frankly, it's quite pathetic.

Not sure about anyone else but I wasn't being vindictive.
More the opposite. Been a Sheedy supporter through and through and when the change comes want it to be amicable without any bitterness.
But to see a former Essendon player who wasn't given a go at Essendon try his guts out the way he did for another club says in no uncertain terms that Essendon has a coaching problem. His tackle on Embley in the third quarter was the best or second best of the game. Buchanan came from no where to lay a beauty as well.
But imagine a team of Essendon players putting in the way he did yesterday.
Far from having a vindictive set on the matter, Ted's game yesterday was a watershed moment for Essendon through my eyes.
We can't hide from the fact that we aren't being coached well. Sheedy will probably turn Ireland on its head but I really don't think he has the wherewithal to put a premiership together again.

I wasn't referring to you, team. I was referring to a certain number of posters on this forum who abuse the guy at every opportunity, and you're not one of those people.team wrote:Not sure about anyone else but I wasn't being vindictive.

Well in that tackle that Chick layed as Teddy kicked it out on the full, he smacked his head on the ground and can't remember the game! Not sure if that would be a good or bad thing from his perspective.team wrote:what will be hurting him the most is his out of bounds on the full in the dying moments.
Whether i'm an AFL footballer or a poster on a forum is irellevant. doesn't change the fact he is an average at BEST player, and gets found out when the players around him aren't very good players.Windy_Hill wrote:I really doubt he cares a rats toss about your thoughts on this matter.
You contribute to a web forum - he plays AFL football
Hardly a comparison

Rapt for Teddy. Went from playing mostly in a second rate comp to the big dance. That's something to celebrate if ever I've heard it. And apart from a couple of mistakes late he showed he well and truly belongs there. And you can even look at those errors as him stepping up to the plate and getting the footy when a few of his mates, and even a couple of his victorious opponents, were hiding in the wings.
Why the venom? Just because he left the club (the club did nothing to stop him, in fact, they encouraged him to go), and went somewhere where he was wanted doesn't mean he's a prick. F***, why wouldn't anyone pursue a career where they could have an apportunity to contribute to success? Ted Richards was told that he would have limited opportunities if he stayed at the club, and if he had a better offer he should consider it. Well he did, and he nearly contributed to a Premiership. He may not be the most talented footballer in the league, but he gives absoultely everything in endeavour. Good luck to him. Were you also pissed off at Damien Hardwick when he won a Premiership at Port, or Caracella at Brisbane?
He is average at best......Happy for the pick we got for him. I'm also happy that he got to the big one, but that in itself dosent make him a good player......AnarchicBomber wrote:Rapt for Teddy.
