Time to look to the team that we will take into Rd 1.Havn't heard that Patto or Thursfield are injured and Simmo must be close while Richo shouldn't play before the Carlton game and then should be used sparingly in a f/p until he regains his fitness. On todays performances Pat Bowden, Gaspar, Krakouer, Mcguane, Meyer, Riewoldt and Tambling have all improved their prospects. Not so Hartigen, Jackson, Knoble while Moore (injured) still has a bit to do and with time against him.
Next week I like,
B Gaspar P Bowden Raines
HB Meyer Polak Thursfield
C Polo Deledio Howat
HF Riewoldt Pattison Krakouer
F Simmonds Schulz Pettifer
R Knoble Tuck Foley
Res Brown, Mcguane, Newman, Tambling
J Bowden, Johnson and Richo.(rested)
