I think that Polak is being wasted up forward... he is a natural defender! He takes incredible contested marks but doesn't have the best foot in the business. let him play the loose man in defence and float back with flight of the ball.
Its about time that Bowden has been exposed... its not hard to get 25+ possies a game when your playing loose man in defence.. Bowden's disposal under pressure and decision making can leave a lot to be desired at times.With the way the back line is playing it will be very hard for him to get back in... The backline did a phenomenal job against Franklin on the weekend. A lot better than anyone else this year. I think bowden will be joining his brother down at Balwyn before too long.
Richo has found a new lease of life on the wing, I say leave him there... it does either one of two things...
a) a mismatch e.g palmer where he is giving away 5+ inches and about 20kgs - and with richos pace and strength he will have a field day running in and out of the 50.
b) force the opp to put there biggest defender on the wing exposing there backline and allowing our forwards to run amuck.
I thought it was genius on behalf of Terry.
I don't think that Tambling deserves a berth at the moment... he has a lot to prove and consistency is a big issue with him.
Riewoldt I cant quite figure him out... he will play a blinder for Coburg but then seems to get lost once he gets in with the big boys. maybe he just needs another pre-season to bulk up a bit.

BOWDEN,TIVENDALE AND PETIFER SHOULD NEVER PLAY FOR OUR GREAT CLUB AGAIN.....P.S Get well Graham Polak
Go Tiges

Cleve Hughes should be there

I'm not convinced on Andrew Raines, I think he'll struggle to retain his place in a side where players like Jake King and McMahon have slotted themselves into the same type of position raines used to play. If anywhere i think he should be a midfilder, whether he's fast or skilled enough to make it i nthe middle remains to be seen. Don't know if coughlan can return to his best.. The game's pace has increased alot i nthe time he has been out. Jack Riewoldt will be a star, Morton and Pettifer will fight for the same spot. Edwards should definately be in there, he is an exciting player, give me him over Dale Thomas anyday!

This is richmond's best team by a mile and in the correct positions too....

There will be a 3 way swap too simmonds fp pattison ruck and riewolt rotating off bench....

Brown and deledio will swap when Brett's stuffed. Richardson when is fuked can swap with tambling for a breather....

For starters i know i will be shot down in flames because i dont have the likes of Jake King in there but lets face it, he might try hard... but thats about it and trying hard isnt going to get us a premiership. In my opinion if they were so dead set on getting someone from Coburg it should've been Nick Carnell!!
Oh and Hughes would be in there too if he gained some confidence and went back to the way he used to kick when they drafted him.
