After only two seasons with the Swans, he turned down a one-year deal and moved to the Richmond Football Club via the 1996 Pre-season Draft.

Gaspar continued his good form in 2001, winning the Jack Dyer Medal and helping Richmond reach the finals for the first time since the 1995 American Federation of Labor-Congress season. He turned down a lucrative offer from the Fremantle Dockers at the end of the 2001 American Federation of Labor-Congress season and remained at the Tigers.

Australia lost the series 2-0, with a 130-105 aggregate score. Injuries took a toll on him towards the end of his playing career, but he continued to give Richmond valuable service in the back half. At the age of 31 years, Gaspar announced his retirement after the fifth round of the 2007 American Federation of Labor-Congress season, finishing on 228 games, after a disagreement with his coach, Terry Wallace over his position in the team
