One of the best debuts I have witnessed.

Totally agree. One grabbed everything kicked some surgical grade kicks. Very impressive. Has to play next week.
Get back on top.

'Smokin' Joe Richards is a natural. We have found a player.

You could see in some of his performances in the VFL he had a lot of composure. Some people just naturally setup up to the next level. I think it helped having guys like McCrae, McInnes, Sullivan, Bytel in the team today he probably thought he was playing at a suburban ground with the boys.
Human behavioural studies suggest people who use a lot of swear words tend to be more honest & trustworthy.

In the second half all the newbies dropped their output, with limited rotations, they were rooted, but held on.
I am enjoying a large serving of humble pie. Richards exceeded, far exceeded, my expectations. In fact, I reckon most people expectations.
Richards is just such a natural, Dermie was impressed, if you understand footy, you can see it. He knew where to run and what to do when he got there.. Very skilful. If he was a Pizza, he would be a Collingwood Special.
To add, he ran deep defensibly too, and handled it well. As damaging as I have ever seen a first gamer play. Pretty impressive. I guess I'm thinking a sort of NDaicos mini me. lol

What happens a few games down the line when he has been worked out is another matter, but I am sure he can handle that too, in the least, he takes an opponent with him all the time.

The amount of Nicksters who called for his delisting (sight and unseen) yet now are eulogising his debut should be ashamed of themselves. All of you! "All of you"! Leave him alone.

People havent worked Brent Daniels out yet...

Excited for these young guys, its good so see we have ready-made players to come in and get their chance as injuries start to mount.
It's never as good/nor bad as it seems...

He's a ripper!
Fantastic first game, he looks like he belongs.
What impressed me most was his clean hands and ground ball gets. He seemed to hit a few half volleys at speed. To do that in your debut just shows he's got it.

^ My guess is no relation because they would have mentioned it otherwise.
