Richmond has added four players to its squad of 25 for the clash against the Western Bulldogs at Telstra Dome on Sunday.

The Tigers have included Mark Chaffey, Kayne Pettifer, Andrew Mills and Chris Hyde to the 25-man squad, with all four players being named on a seven-man interchange bench.


Royce Vardy, Clinton King and Matthew Rogers remain in the squad, but have also been named on the extended interchange bench, which will be trimmed on Friday night.

However, the Tigers will be without defender/tagger Duncan Kellaway, who will miss at least the next two matches with a hamstring injury.

The 30-year-old played the opening game of the season against Collingwood, but will be sidelined for the clash against the Dogs. He is the only player out of the Tigers’ line-up from last week’s 28-poss loss to the Magpies.

Key Richmond talls Ben Holland (4-6 weeks) and Brad Ottens (8-10 weeks) are still medium to long-term prospects.
 
You mean what is correct with that article DF...lol. There are so many errors it's funny.

afl.com.au since telstra over it must be nearly the worst official website of any major professional sporting league in the world. User unfriendly Inc.

Another example of the AFL being seduced by $$$$ rather than thoroughly investigating what were going to get (read the same as the TV rights deal). The AFL Telstra sites are the pits. But unfortunately Clubs desperately need the guaranteed $$$ the Telstra contract gives them.
 
Is it any wonder I've stopped buying the papers on a regular basis. Even though this is a web site article. But I think it still applies to papers as well.

It continually amazes and annoys me no end when they don't get their facts right.

We all make mistakes, but fair dinkum they just lose me completely when they put out absolute dribble.

Not worth the effort of writing it, much less reading it.

I would rather read the assessments and opinions of people on boards such as this, because I at least know that those people actually care about what was going on and more than likely took much more notice than some journo who's doing "their job" because they get paid for it.

They see the team every other week and form opinions based on one week here or there. Supporters see their team every week and some would know much much more than some paid journo. They may not have it altogether right either, but at least they give a continental.

Makes all the difference to me.

Make an effort or just don't bother.
