The word 'think' is the main problem at Richmond.

As John Kennedy Snr yells out in that radio ad: DON'T THINK, DOOOOOO !!!!!!!!

Wallet certainly does love Edwards , i recall him ohhing and ahhing over some off Shanes work at Coburg one day a week prior to him being recalled to the side.

Edwards is a very clever little player and hopefully he continues on his curve in 08.

Shane will quickly become tiger fans most favourite players i reckon if he hasnt already.
 
As proud President of Kayne Pettifer, im ging to back my guy in after a reasonably strong 2007...

If he plays every game, i can see Kayne really hitting his straps... 50 goal season is not out of reach!

He just needs to be consistent, which i believe is coming into his game more and more!
 
I hope Polak is our surprise packet this year - Acutally holding down a key position and using his frame.
 
I reckon after a bit of a confidence boosting year and another solid preseason, young Daniel Jackson may just surprise a few people and become a genuine onballer. He may just move from the defensive role into a more attacking role. He would have learnt a lot from his run with role last year and has the ability and skill to hurt teams going the other way.

He is big, strong, fast and possesses good skills. His biggest downfall was the tempo at times, but think last year will have improved that and he certainly should have the confidence. He was a later starter and now just starting to blossom.

Jacko to be the big mover in 2008 8)
 
Another surprise could be Bowden back on the goal kicker's list. Our backline is getting stronger so he could probably play up the ground a bit. A few more of those shots on the run from 55m out like in the first half of his career ;)

25 goals from him ???
 
Jake King to win the Brownlow by aggravating every opponent into being reported for hitting him and therefore getting massive sympathy votes from all the umpires for the whole season. :rofl

Actually, Jake reminds me of Sheedy in quite a few ways and this is one more.

I can still remember a game in the early seventies where Sheedy was given a free kick and the loose ball was gathered by a team-mate who didn't quite return it on the full.

Good old Shady Sheedy conned the ump into a 15 m penalty.

How sweet would that be. Jake is a bit like Akermanis, Liberatore and Platten all rolled into one.

I like King, but he is a worker. Platten and Aka are two class units who had skills oozing out of them. Libba was a dog though.
