RICHMOND Football Club players, Alex Rance, Connor Menadue, Dylan Grimes, David Astbury, Nathan Broad, Toby Nankervis, Ben Griffiths, Dan Butler, Ivan Soldo, Camdyn McIntosh took the time out to visit patients at GV Health on Friday last week, before their big match against Melbourne at Deakin Reserve at the weekend.
The visit was made all the special for one patient and mad Richmond fan, Josef Bela, who had planned to go to the Maude Street Mall to get his Richmond items signed, was teed up to go to the luncheon on Saturday and the game on Sunday, but wound up unwell and in surgical.
Josef said, “I’ve been pretty down over the past two weeks, but to have the boys come for a visit is pretty cool.”
When asked if he had anything to say to the boys, Joseph said, “Go hard boys. Bring the flag home this year.”
Richmond Football Club player, defender Dylan Grimes said, “It’s been humbling to see all the people going through adversity in their lives but still show their support for the club as supporters.
“To be able to be at the hospital and brighten someone’s day and make them smile makes it all worth while.”
