Is it too hasty to debut Polo, Hughes and McGuane this week?

I like your team too Claw.

Only issue would be whether Thirsty and Razor are underdone.

However like you Liverpool I think Lids is wasted on the HBF
 
Claw,

Not a bad team but

You can not leave Bowden out of the team.

How could anyone possibly want Krak to still get a game?????????? Was that Danny Frawley posting that comment to keep him in the pocket?

I think Will has played 5 games now so if not this week he should be pretty close...

How close do you think he is? What gives you that impression, do we desparetly need a backman?

He's still a far better option anywhere on the paddock than three quarters of the players you've selected in your side. It's laughable to suggest you'd drop him on the back of one game.

Aside from that I actually really like your team.
 
It has been well documented that Richmond only make surface level changes after horrific losses - let's hope "the Steamer" gets a run this week.

On the champion data stats from last week Krak was ranked 7th out of 22, that makes 15 other guys who should be dropped before Krak!!!

Polo ?  That's all we need - another slow unskilled plodder.

Harry. What has lead you to make this statement ? I'd be interested in your view on Polo and why.

Because I've seen enough of him to say that he's slow and un-skilled.....actually he's a shocking kick. We've got too many of this type - the plodder, wrestling/scragging/stacks-on types - you know like Coughlan, Tuck, Johnson, Hyde, even Foley and Krakour. Don't need anymore. Time to get players that have toe and can kick. Not at all disappointed that JON was our first pick coz we severly need more players of his type.

See this is a ballsy selection !!!

Only one thing - change the bowden brothers and you've get it pretty acurate.

Whilst I totally agree with your objective criticism, be careful Harrison. The "sensitalia" will be all over you soon..... ;)
