F RODAN STAFFORD BOWDEN
R HALL COUGLAN ROGERS
INT D KELLAWAY, SHULZ, NEWMAN, NICHOLLS
UNAVAIL: HOLLAND, ZANTUCK, FLEMING (INJ)????
PETTIFER, CHAFFEY (SUSP).
ZANTUCK, FLEMING WOULD COME IN FOR
NEWMAN, NICHOLLS IF FIT IN TIME ???????????
 
i would go for something like this:
A.Kellaway,R.Vardy,C.Newman
L.Cameron.D.*smile*,Houlihan.
J.Bowden,M.Coughlan,A.Fiora.
J.Blumfield,M.Richarson,W.Campbell.
D.Rodan,G.Stafford,J.*smile*.
R.Hall,K.Johnson,R.Hilton.
i/c:G.Tivendale,C.King,M.Rogers,B.Nichols.

hall and *smile* to share the ruckwork.due to hall,s lack of match practice stafford to be thrown in the mix.

both blumfeild and campbell to be played only on the fwd line until their match fitness improves.

dunc to come in for king once he gets games under his belt.
chaffey to come in for houlihan.
krak to come in for nichols.
zantuck for tivendale
 
B - A Kellaway Vardy Cameron
HB - Newman Gaspar Campbell
C - Fiora Coughlan Tivendale
HF - Blumfield Richardson Bowden
F - Pettifer Stafford Hilton

Foll - Hall Johnson Rodan

Int - Schulz Houlihan Rogers Hyde

Missing with reason(9 out of 36): D Kellaway(unfit), Ottens(back), Chaffey(susp), Draga(unfit), Holland(knee), Fleming(wrist), Biddiscombe(hamstring), Krakouer(knee), Zantuck(cheekbone).

leaving basically 25 players to pick a team of 22 from, i'd suggest Duncan would play and if Zantuck was anywhere near ready he too would play.
 
Dragicevic must also come into contention shortly if his practice match form is anything to go by. Maybe they will be caution with their approach on Dragga though given his history.

Good luck to him
 
Just for interest here is an old thread I found this morning. We were picking a team at the end of 2000 for round 1 2003.
Slowly but surely I think our list is improving, and there should be a bit cleanout at the end of this season.
Go Tiges.

Some possible matchups:

FB: Hilton A. Kellaway Hall
FF: Davis Tarrant Fraser

HB: Vardy Gaspar Cameron
HF: Molloy Rocca Didak

C: Fiora Coughlan Rogers
C: Shaw O'Bree Scotland

HF: Blumfield Richardson Bowden
HB: Lonie Prestigiacomo Lockyer

FF: Rodan Zantuck Schulz
FB: Johnson Clement Wakelin

Foll: Stafford Johnson Campbell
Foll: McKee Woewodin Buckley

Int: Tivendale, Pettifer, Newman, D. Kellaway
Int: Lokan, Betheras, Kinnear, Williams

Obviously the dimensions of the line ups can change dramatically, esp. if Fraser and Prestigiacomo don't come up from their injuries.

One thing that worries me is Collingwood's height. (How good would it be to have Holland and Ottens in the team) . That's why I made some unconventional moves like Hall to a back pocket and Zantuck at full forward to cover height deficiencies.

However ultimately I think the game will be decided by the midfields. Richmond should at least break even with Stafford and Hall agaisnt McKee, Fraser, Rocca. Coughlan should beat O'Bree. Johnson should trounce Woewodin. And Campbell will hopefully break even with Buckley with a bit of help from Buckley's best friend D. Kellaway. The wings will be crucial. Big games are needed from Tivendale, Fiora and Rogers and Newman.

Can't wait.
 
I agree that the midfields will hold the key to this game. Will also be the first opportunity to see how our new look midfield gels together.

The individual match ups will be very interesting indeed. Dare say there will be a lot of rotations going on early in attempts to shake the tags.

Hope the coaches box are upto it.
