just read in another thread where craig thought other than lids bling and thursfield he's got nothin to forward to as far as the kids are concerned next year. Well me being the ever optimist would be hoping this mite happen.
*DELIDIO& TAMBLING-will be allowed time to mature on the wings. imagine the space and run they would create and the backline would know they only have to put the ball out in front of them.This would generate confidence and excitement.
*THURSFIELD- just to play 20 odd games and cement his spot down back. Maybe he could build up a bit and pinch hit up forward.
*JACKSON-we almost forget about jacko being taken as a 53ish pick and still very young.He could be given chaffys run with role.He needs to get super fit to be able to run with the games elite midfielders.He'll learn a lot next year. Richmond needs blokes like jacko to demand a spot early on and keep it all year putting the chaffs and tivvers back to coburg.
*RODAN- still young at 22 and still learning the the game. Needs to be given a role. eg bpocket playing on the rovers or small forwards. and a licence to run it out of the backline( ala david king). kicking long to lids.
*RAINES- Important year for him. Needs to play 8-15 and games next season maybe backflank or pocket or you feel if he doesn't his time mite be up come the end of 06. body still immature needs to put on some muscle as well.
* ROACH- ditto raines. needs games next year or he'l be gone. with cambo gone and chaff and tivvers getting on he has to string some games together.
*SHULTZ-is he 21 yet? big fellows take a bit of time. But its now time to produce something. i've got a real good feelin on the sarge. Looks like hall will be chb so with a massive hole this year at chf shultz has got the perfect oppotunity to make chf his own.Would bring a whole new dimension to the forward line especially with browny back if he can fire.
*MEYER- although classy still has a very immature body but like to see him play some cameo roles off the bench 6-10 games.
*PATTISON- ditto meyer,but would be good to see him finishing off the year in the one's after taken over from staff,10-12 games
*POLO- mite surprise us all,finished off the year well at coburg.Could be given 1st crack at backflank or pocket or at least be given some game thru the year.
*FOLEY- seems to have good work ethic after coming from the rookie list u would expect 10-12 games.
*GILMOUR-not sure about him. maybe giving a game or two late in season.
So in summing up i know we whinge about certain older players on our list but hopefully the kids will not only demand a spot but be given a crack as well, and these older players will fade away to coburg and then delist.
I also hope we don't pick up other sides scraps in the psd.We have plenty of players on our list who can play the small back pocket wallace wants.
CRAIG this is not to mention the 3 new kids we'll get in this years draft.
