The man known as Modra will bring up the milestone this Saturday against the Tamworth Kangaroos.
Just two players - club president Adrian Walsh and Jonathon Frost - have reached 150 games but at 28-years-old, Richards will be the youngest player to do so.
"I am pretty proud to be a Nomad," he said.
"I always wanted to play at one club and achieve a lot of games, not travel around a lot and play at different clubs, I just wanted to stay at one club."
And, as a man proud of his Aboriginal heritage, it is only fitting Richards marks the occasion in the AFL North West's inaugural Indigenous round.
"I am proud to have reached 150 but to play it in Indigenous round is very special," he said.
"Even for the league itself, the first year being an Indigenous round, it is a big bonus to play 150 on Indigenous round."
Richards joined the club as an 18-year-old and hasn't looked back.
In that time he has played in seven grand finals, winning five and claiming best on ground on three occasions.
Richards names those feats, as well as reaching 150 games, as highlights in his time as a Nomad.
But there's still plenty of time to add to those achievements, the forward indicating he is up for another 150 games.
"Looking at star man [Walsh], why not?" Richards said.
"And Frosty played until he was 38.
"I am only 28 this year so I have a few more years left in me."
Those words are a worrying sign for opposition teams with Richards' reputation as match winner often talked about by other team in the lead up to clashes with the Armidale-based side.
Richards said the target on his back doesn't worry him and he uses it to help other young players in the sport to find their feet.
"Over the years I have learnt to get used to it," he said,
"They put young boys on me so I don't mind giving them advice while they are playing against me at times.
"I understand when you are put on a good player, especially when you are young, you get a bit intimidated but it is a learning curve."
The game will be played at Bellevue Oval against the competition leaders.
In their last start against Gunnedah, the Nomads took a team without a bench to face the Bulldogs. Richards is hoping they can step up this Saturday.
"Tamworth are sitting on top of the ladder so that will be a big test for us," he said.
"Hopefully the boys can get up.
"The coach has been in their ears about getting up and being prepared for Saturday's game because it is not going to be easy.
"The Roos are similar to Gunnedah, they like to short kick, control the game and that breaks teams down which is really good."
