A forward 6 to worry anyone

[Gordietiger]

Todays forward 6 is 1 short of a front 6 that would have other coaches in concern all week trying to man up with-
Pettifer Pattison Tambling
Brown 12 Delidio
Also -there is genuine depth developing here when you consider the benches of both the one's and two's

Bench senioirs-P.Bowden, Foley, Meyer, Krakouer
Bench seconds-Oakley Nicholls,Hughes and Roach

Also running around in the twos are players who have played senior football like *smile*, Hartigan, Mcguane,Knoble,Jackson,White,Rodan,*smile*-might head down to Frankston tomorrow with all this on show!!

I cant remember the last time we had this sort of depth-great for the present in terms of covering injuries and pressure on for spots in the team----BUT even better for the future

 

[North Sea Tiger]

It inspires genuine confidence.

 

[Brettstigers]

Pattison is really a Simmonds in training and is not a CHF. Richardson will have to do that and Hughes will need to slot in at FF behind him next year. Problem is it should be the other way round.

 

[Rayzorwire]

It's a classy forward line these days Gordie, plenty to slot in when new matchups are needed too.

I might add that it sure helps when we're winning our share in midfield too.

 

[Ruthless Tigers ?]

As classy as it is Tony Shaw and Wayne Carey both believe thatd bepsite Richo being our greatest fwd....the side is more unpredictable without him and a much more dangerous foe.

Eitehr way I dont care as Richmond won and are WINNING!

lets have a look here. hf pettiffer flanker who even i have to admit has improved in recent times has a long way to go still. pattison chf is not up to afl standard atm have grave concerns about him. tambling is a midfielder who has skill but he has a hell of a long way to go.
fp brown well hes a flanker but hes a forward a class one at that.
richo ff is 31 wont be there when and if we enjoy being a really good finals side. deledio will play onball for the vast majority of his career.
of the bench players p bowden tall utility player iplays like a flanker. foley out and out in and under onballer. meyer looks to be a player hff hbf doesnt find a lot of the pill but has good skills and works hard defensively.would like to see him played on a wing. *smile* dud.j o n hbf winger not a forward. hughes fast leading ff fp isnot a pwer forward and wont become one. roach will be delisted at yrs end. of the other mentioned white may make a good crumbing forward jacko has some question marks about him mcguane has excellent hands and a good leap would make a good 3rd tall forward. and schulz could make a ff but have serious doubts about him making the grade.
as far as im concerned we need a versatile chf a ff for when richo goes a small forward pocket someone like phil matera

i don't think our tall defenders would be worrying the opposition too much though
