Drew:
Hello... is this working?

14:24
Daniel Rich (Richy):
SURE IS DREW

14:24
Drew:
Sweet... Daniel, you'll be too humble to admit it, but without your fourth quarter effort, we wouldn't have won the Elim Final vs Carlton last year. Do you have any memories of that brilliant long goal or is it all a blur?

14:25
Daniel Rich (Richy):
Hi Guys, sorry i am running a bit late, just finished a team meeting. fire away with questions when you are ready.

14:26
Matt:
Hey Richy!

14:26
Daniel Rich (Richy):
Thanks Drew. it was definately a great game to play in, definately one of the most memorable moments of last year.

14:26
Matt:
What's your biggest kick?
eg. 70,75m?

14:27
Drew:
You get the 4 points either way, but is there any team you like beating a little more than the others? Being an ex-Eagle, I imagine the Dockers must be up there?

14:27
Daniel Rich (Richy):
Gday Matt, ive never actually measured one of my kicks!

14:28
Daryl:
How many goals will you kick this week at the SCG from the centre sqaure? Such a great field for your long penetrating kicks!

14:28
Matt:
how did you get such a penetrating foot?

14:29
Peter Bettles:
Good eh Daniel, I rubbished you blokes earlier in the week in particula Brownie, I do apologize good luck you all this week

14:29
Daniel Rich (Richy):
i am happy just as long as we win drew.

14:30
Kaz Brits:
Hey Dan, how do you think your own form has been so far this year?

14:31
Daniel Rich (Richy):
Hi Daryl, ill try my best, i am yet to kick one this year. but ill think ill leave most of the goal kicking to big brownie and fev!

14:31
Daryl:
Haha sounds good! What has been your personal goal to achieve this year?

14:31
Daniel Rich (Richy):
lots of practice matt
Thanks Peter

14:32
GG:
Hi Richy - Todd Banfield's been a revalation up forward this year - coming from the WA system, was this any shock to you?

14:32
kingslie:
who's going to play on bradshaw this week??

14:33
Matt:
my furtherest kick was 49metres, is that any good? i'm 15??

14:33
Daniel Rich (Richy):
Hi Karen, good to see you at training, definately a lot of room for improvement.
i thinks it every players goal to play in a premiership, and im no different.

14:34
daniel:
Hey,

14:35
Kaz Brits:
always glad to be there.

14:35
daniel:
What kind of nicknames do you get called?

14:35
Daniel Rich (Richy):
Gday GG, toddy has been great this year, i played a bit with and against him as a junior and he has always had talent. it was just a matter of time before he got his chance.

14:35
Alice:
who do you think will win the nab rising star this year

14:36
Daniel Rich (Richy):
Tough decision kingsley, ill leave it upto the coaches. most people will be guessing one of the big boys down back.
thats great matt, its a great feeling kicking them from 50, you will be there soon.

14:37
Andy:
Any plans for life after you retire as a 300game premiership captain of the Brissy Lions? Uni? Coach? World surfing tour?

14:37
Daryl:
A premiership is a great goal! Maybe the Lions can go on and win another 3 in a row in the next few years! You are one of the best tacklers in the team, how do you feel after a game from so much physical work.

14:37
Daniel Rich (Richy):
there is way to many daniel, obviously bam bam a fair bit.
there are alot of talented contenders, jack redden, toddy banfield, tommy rockliff, all eligible from the lions. also guys like nik nat, dan hannerbry from the swans, jack trengrove and tom skully from melb

14:40
daniel:
Will Collier get a game this week? I heard he was exciting in the reserves

14:40
Daniel Rich (Richy):
haha to be honest i havent really given it much thought, i am still only 19. however the world surfing tour sounds good.

14:41
Kaz Brits:
Good luck this weekend Dan. Say hi to Braddy for us.

14:42
Daniel Rich (Richy):
would be great to see Daryl, generally every player pulls up a bit sore, its just important to recover well and get your body right for the next week.

14:42
daniel:
hey daniel do you think you played better last year than u have this year

14:42
kingslie:
Do you think adcock has a chance to play this week to replace daniel merritt and is merritt's hammy serious or just minor??

14:42
Andy:
Has Vossy resorted to giving the boys a huge three-quarter time bake in his coaching career yet? Or is he saving it for a really special occassion?

14:43
Daryl:
This week, you should try your best to win mark of the year and goal of the year in the one play. Run up Goodes back then rebound from defensive 50 and kick a goal from the centre square! Would be awesome!

14:43
Jackie:
Hey Daniel! Where did the name Bam Bam come from and what do you think the Boys need to do to win against Sydney this week? What was your opinion of the game against melbourne?

14:43
Daniel Rich (Richy):
tommy has been playing well in the reserves, he is one of about half a dozen blokes that could get a game. jump on the lions website around 5 to find out the ins and outs.
no worries karen

14:44
Allison:
Good luck against Sydney Bam Bam!!

14:44
Daniel Rich (Richy):
Thanks alison

14:45
kingslie:
Yeah good luck richy hopefully you can kick some goals

14:46
BamBam4President:
the opposition are giving you a lot less space this year, what sort of strategies do players use to beat the tag?

14:46
Daniel Rich (Richy):
i think merretts hammy is just a minor one, hopefully he only misses a week or two. as for jed, he is probably in that half a dozen that couldcome into the team.

14:46
robert:
Hi Daniel,

14:46
daniel:
rich who is your fav player in the afl

14:47
Daniel Rich (Richy):
hi andy, vossy is actually very good at keeping his cool, he is the kind of coach who doesnt need to say much to have a big effect on the group

14:48
Matt:
richy i'm trying to bulk up because i'm not that big, what is the bestv way to do that?

14:48
Daniel Rich (Richy):
Bit ambitious Daryl, ill leave that to jared brennan

14:49
Kaz Brits:
hehe ambitious, nice one Dennis.:P

14:49
Daryl:
Haha a fellow Territorian! Love his work, good to see good NT talent, you need to tell the recruiting staff and Vossy to get more NT players!

14:50
Daniel Rich (Richy):
Hi jackie, bam bam was from the flinstones character, as for the melbourne game we were pretty disappointed with the result. hopefully we can turn it around this week.

14:50
robert:
Hi Daniel, which suburb in perth are you from?

14:51
Daniel Rich (Richy):
there has been a little bit less space but that is something that i can only learn from. i keep my strategies close to my chest haha

14:52
robert:
Do you live with your girlfriend or are you bunking in with one of the boys?

14:52
Matt:
hey daniel what's your handspan?

14:52
Daniel Rich (Richy):
hi robert,

14:52
Ryan:
Hey Daniel, have you been working on playing roles other than midfield during the summer/early season? I noticed you at fullback at one stage during the WC game and was shocked to see you there. I thought you were playing off the HBF but then I saw you on the last line again.

14:53
Daniel Rich (Richy):
only got a few minutes left before i have to go to gym, i will try my best to answer the remaining questions.

14:53
Jackie:
What's been the mood around the club before Braddy's first showdown against us?

14:53
Matt:
what is the best way to bulk up?

14:53
Daniel Rich (Richy):
Bart McCulloch is my favourite player

14:54
daniel:
Wow. interesting choice

14:54
Andy:
Are your family true blue Brisbane supporters now or do they have a soft spot for West Coast?

14:54
