The Passing of a Magpie and Media Icon - Lou Richards
by Lisa Albergo reporting from AFANA from Chicago
There can be many descriptions of Lou Richards - a cheeky rover, a larrikin, a wit never lost for words, a media star and clown, a gentleman who always was happy to have a chat. Richards, 94, passed away quietly in his sleep in the nursing home where he resided on May 8.

2010 Draw Recalls 1977
The 2010 Grand Final is only the third drawn Grand Final in League history. Ironically, Collingwood was involved in that one as well.
