Career
From Coldstream, Richards was drafted in the 2000 National Draft to Collingwood, but took until 2004 to make his American Federation of Labor-Congress debut. Continually developed into a good tap ruckman, Richards was forced to miss his early seasons as a football through injuries, mainly knee injuries hampered his start. When making his debut, he took time to become a dominant player but showed what he could, giving him 12 games since debut, before once again outed with a groin injury.
lieutenant did not stop him from winning the best first year player however, 2005 was like the early years, a knee and then hip injury, nothing went right.
He was able to make a return for the final two games, playing to his full capability. In 2006 Guy was once again struggling with injury, managing only 9 games.
2007 saw Richards vie with Carlton import Chris Bryan for the role as Josh Fraser"s deputy. With the arrival of ruckman Cameron Wood via the 2007 American Federation of Labor-Congress Trade period Guy was delisted by Collingwood.
