Timeline

1974

Richardson took a total of 2,270 marks during his AFL career, which was the second-highest of any player at the time of his retirement (since the statistic was recorded, starting in 1974).

1975

Matthew Richardson (born 19 March 1975) is a former professional Australian rules footballer and current media personality who represented Richmond in the Australian Football League (AFL).

1990

He was the club's key forward through the mid-1990s and the 2000s.

1992

Educated at St. Brendan-Shaw and Don Colleges in Devonport, Tasmania, Richardson was the fourth pick (a father–son selection) in the 1992 AFL draft, and was recruited from Devonport, Tasmania.

He is the son of former Richmond and South Melbourne player Alan "Bull" Richardson.

Combining a 197 centimetre frame with speed and athletic capacity for a large man, on his day he has been a dominant presence for the Tigers.

1995

He suffered a torn left ACL in Round 9, 1995.,against Sydney at the SCG after he hyper-extended his left knee while landing as he was running out of bounds and crashed hard into the fence and missed the rest of the season after reconstructive surgery on his knee, including the Tigers' finals series – the Sydney Cricket Ground was forced to increase the distance between the boundary line and the fence (which at the time was as short as 2.5m in places) in response to the injury.

1996

He led the club's goalkicking for thirteen seasons, and was selected in the All-Australian Team three times – in 1996, 1999 and 2008.

Richardson's 800 career goals currently see him ranked second behind Jack Titus at Richmond, and twelfth on the all-time list of AFL/VFL goalkickers.

He also holds the record for most goals kicked without winning a Coleman Medal.

He currently holds the record for the most goals kicked at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

In 1996 he came back strongly, playing all 22 games and finished with 91 goals (49 behinds), earning All Australian selection for the first time.

2001

He sustained another knee injury in the pre-season of 2001, but recovered to play 22 games and kick 59 goals.

2004

In 2004, a decision to step down from the Tigers' leadership group (the small group of senior players who help lead the club on and off-field) and focus on additional strength training paid off, with good goal-kicking form in the early part of the season including a career best 10 against the Western Bulldogs.

Richardson finished with a tally of 65 goals for the season.

2005

In 2005 he kicked 65 goals again, this time with much more consistency throughout the season.

2007

In 2007, in the Dreamtime at the 'G match against, Richardson played the game with a fractured eye socket and broken nose sustained only a week before.

He still managed to kick four goals, and was denied a potentially match-winning fifth when he was penalised for a push-in-the-back against his opponent, Mal Michael.

In the same year, he won his first ever club best-and-fairest, beating young teammate Nathan Foley by a single vote.

He averaged 15.1 disposals & 9 marks per game, he also kicked 53 goals for the season.

2008

Richardson was one of the most popular players in the competition; this was shown when the crowd at the 2008 Brownlow Medal cheered every vote he got.

Mark Robinson from the Herald Sun wrote "M. Richardson... I'm sure there wouldn't have been a more popular winner".

Richardson spent a large part of the 2008 season playing on the wing, rather than in the forward line, which allowed him to have a much larger part in the play than previously.

Although he did not win the club best-and-fairest, he was selected on the bench in the All-Australian team and finished third in the Brownlow Medal, polling 22 total votes.

The 2008 season saw Richardson take 222 marks for the season, including 21 against Hawthorn in Round 20.
