I was talking recently to an old Carlton player( dual premiership and B&F winner), and I asked him if he recalled Richard Pratt as a player.
He said young Richard was a very talented junior who may well have forged a successful senior career if he had persisted.
But as they say Business is Business, and I'm more than happy that he chose the path he did.
Fascinating bloke is R.Pratt.

It looked like he could have made it as a player, for sure...
