Western Bulldogs midfielder, Ed Richards, has opened up on the void left by Tom Liberatore absence as the veteran goes through concussion protocols.

Richards revealed he was a bit hesitant to enter the position and says he didn’t think he’d end up in the role.

“It was obvious we needed something, which is what Bevo was alluding to in one of our meetings we had, I didn’t think it would be me,” he told Shane McInnes, filling in for Sam McClure and Matthew Richardson.
