You said it DDT. I wish that he was given more of a chance. He needs the sort of crack at it that Coggers got from Frawley. Told not to worry about being dropped for 5-6 games, just to concentrate on playing footy.
I like our backline, and IMO is our strength. A good team has a good defence, and i commend Terry on that.
King, White to stop the little ****heads that have crucified us over the years ala Farmer and Milne.
We have an array of HBFs, maybe too much, in Bowden, Casserly, McMahon, Newman and the likes.
And our KPD's in Thursfield, Rance, Schulz, Polak and McGuane should hold in good stead for the future.
Its young, and it will still take many beatings over the next couple of years, but it looks good.

CC, I have to say, if we can find some stabilty in the backhalf (i.e find a solid kid that can hold down another KP - eg. Rance, then we could be well on our way. Will's off to a good start - Made a solid return to AFL last year and without doubt was not phased with the task at hand. I rate Fevola and although he looked ready to cut loose at one stage last week, Will fought on well, especially in the last quarter.
Dont really know what to expect from Moore in terms of how far? He has been on our list for a long time. Injuries have hampered his preparation and has spent alot of time at Coburg getting himself right. Word around the traps suggests he might just be ready to have a consistent season and establish himself as regular AFL footballer.
Polak & Shultz look like easing some of TW's problems as the extra tall defender.
The Tigers also have Silvester in the reserves. Note, the development of Foley & King at Coburg in recent years has certainly helped. If our luck continues, Silvester may strengthen our options.
On a final note, it may pay for Richmond to trade and get a mature bodied defender (say 24 - 26) at seasons end. I know this might sound ugly for some, but something to consider.
P.S I'll keep you posted on that one in July

I really want to get Brent Prismall to the club. Hes the type we need. Smart, inside, great skills, he'd be a great addition to the midfield, and the Cats look certain to trade him off the end of the year as he simply cant get a spot.Skills said:CC, I have to say, if we can find some stabilty in the backhalf (i.e find a solid kid that can hold down another KP - eg.

As for a big bodied defender, anyone in particular?

If we were going to do that shouldn't we have done it 3 years ago, or at least before we got Polak?
Skills said:
Skills when you say we have a plan is there any sarcasm involved?
If you are serious can you give us any ideas on who we are chasing?
yes. wce structure didnt and hasnt changed with or without those guys playing. glass hunter graham down back lynch hansen staker forward. cox seaby in ruck. cousins out priddis in both inside both prolific ball winners one with more polish and hurt factor.they havent replaced judd yet but with mcnamarra selwood ebert masten and mcginnity they are certainly looking hard.lamb22 said:

8) What I like about any teams backline is when players can play forward as well,i.e *smile*,Polak,and yes Bowden.It is called versatility.
gold1 said:
Yeah it is exciting to think of what could be, but we need to find players that can play one position before looking at two
Once someone like *smile* can hold one position then we can start looking at changing (versitility)
But in saying that there is alot of potential with *smile*/Polak
