Hi Ted
Whilst we miss you running around with the reserves in Canberra, it's great to see you back in the seniors. You can certainly hold your head up high after your great performance against Geelong. My only question is one relating to the whole team over the past 2 weeks. What happened?
P.S. Love The Richards Report!!!

Hey Teddy,
You've played in the reserves for an extended period of time this year. What are some of the challenges about being there?

Sophie Cross - 12:18 PM Monday, 2 August 2010
Hey Teddy
We seem to be a bit of a from slump! We are obviously struggling without a settled forward line! Why arn't the coaches having a look at at playing Lewis Johnston, Patty Vesz or even Daniel Currie in the forward line to give us a boost?
Also how is Ed Barlow's wardrobe coming along!
Keep up the great work!

hi ted,
flying up from tassie to see you guys this weekend, any chance of seeing bradshaw? LRT? smith? would strengthen the side at bookends and middle! good luck and go swans!!!!!

Hi Ted,
Big task this week, would you prefer to be marking Buddy or Roughy? Tough question!

Terry Cunningham - 11:33 AM Monday, 2 August 2010
Teddy how can we kick better to score goals and put early scoreboard pressure on the Hawks. 5-12 to 10-1 at half time against the Cats just kills you. Were we rushed? our skills can't be that bad.

Andrew - 11:21 AM Monday, 2 August 2010
Hi Teddy, you played great. Took some great marks. Are we going to see Veszpremi in the last four games this season? I would love to see him play in the forward line.

Craig Doyle - 11:08 AM Monday, 2 August 2010
Ted, you were one of the best on ground on saturday night, well done. What do you seen John bringing to the head coaches roll next year that may make the team a bit different then what Roosey has developed.

Hi Ted,
I think the boys played ok on the weekend despite the scoreline but we just seem to lack that confidence and never say die attitude that the bloods are renowned for, how do you think the boys can get back to those standards in the remaining rounds before the finals?

Andrew Williams - 10:27 AM Monday, 2 August 2010
Are we likely to see Lewis Johnston play before seasons end? With Bradshaw out I would love to see what he can do

matto - 10:13 AM Monday, 2 August 2010
keep ya chins up fellas and don't give up!

Cameron - 10:07 AM Monday, 2 August 2010
Hey Ted,
Which players from the reserves are we likely to see push for game time over the next 4 rounds and next year? Has there been any discussion on what we will be aiming for in next years draft? Players with pace?

Michael - 9:59 AM Monday, 2 August 2010
It would be a great shame if we missed the finals in roos and kirks last year, how do we find the form to get the required number of wins in so little time with only 4 games left?

Glenn - 9:50 AM Monday, 2 August 2010
First of all, Ted, well done on Saturday. I thought you beat Mooney on the night, especially outmarking him in that final quarter to prevent many chances for them to go further ahead. What are the chances that Lewis Johnston will play a senior game before the end of the season? I feel it's important to give him a crack at the top level sooner rather than later. Being a long time Sydney supporter, I'm used to players 'going home', and he's one that I worry will head back to Adelaide if he gets the chance, and I'd hate for such a talented player to go.

Julieanne Bonnici - 9:44 AM Monday, 2 August 2010
Hi Big Ted, I'm a huge fan and just wish a few more of your team mates gave as much in a game as you do! I'm not going to mention the last two weeks , they are far to painful to discuss.
My question is about your wonderful "Richards Report". I so enjoy reading it and look forward each week to the next instalment. Are you or have you ever studied journalism and do you foresee a future in the media when you retire?

teo treloar - 9:37 AM Monday, 2 August 2010
Hi Ted
Your last quarter against the Cats was very good, for me it has been your best quarter of footy this year. How did you feel about it and what can you do to carry that form into this crucial time of the year?
