Team for Sat

[momentai]

As I understand it two more games before the break after which we face the Bulldogs. So one more chance for younger players before we get serious against the Dons in Mildura.

I've * those whom I think have already secured a position in game 1. Those with ? well there is a ?

B Raines* Mcguane Kellaway*?
HB Thursfield Schulz* Hartigen*?
C Tambling* Polo Tivendale
HF Hall*? Hughes*? P, Meyer*?
F Brown* Richo* Stafford*
R Knoble*? Krakouer* Rodan*
Res Bowden*? Jackson*? JON Limbach Pattison*? White*?

Rested: Bowden, Coughlan, Deledio, Gaspar, Hyde, Johnson, Newman, Simmonds & Pettifer (injured), all of whom are guaranteed a place in our best 22.

Not sure you're on the money there momentai.

Richmond will take an almost full line-up to Carrara on Saturday to play Sydney, with only Mark Chaffey and Kayne Pettifer the usual senior starters to miss out.

Saw that too Rosy. It will be interesting to see who lines up at CHF. At this point Nathan Foley is about the only one who is out of contention.

Not if he wears his platform boots!

I wouldn'r discount Nathan for CHF. This is what Wisbey had to say about him acouple of years ago

"OVERHEAD MARKING:

- He plays small but is reliable when he goes for it 1-1. Great leap, sure hands.

*ATHLETICISM, INTENSITY, ETHIC, CONSISTENCY:

- Often plays art a "comfortable" pace around the ground below top gear but he is has lightning speed when he wants to use it, both off the mark and over ground. Terrific closing speed in a chase and ability to find another gear when being chased.

- Huge leap. I can't emphasis this enough. One of the factors against Foley is that he is only 178cm. He also has a 4cm reach disadvantage compared to the average player of his height. However, his leap more than compensates. I have noted this on many occasions throughout the year and his DC/SS result confirms it (beat95% of the 168 attendees). Sometimes a player has better or worse results in a DC test than they show in a game. Not Foley. The best single example probably came from the VC vs SA '03 U18 Champs game where he jumped high naturally, without any real run-up, to spoil an overhead marking attempt by the 201cm Dubieniecki, who was in good position in front of Foley.

- Great ethic, intensity. Is desperate. Throws himself under packs, chases, blocks, other 1%ers. Covers heap of ground. Runs and runs. Prolific tackler. (3rd in TAC comp).

Our search is over. This kid can do everything!!!

Also has the 2nd fastest time over 20m at the club this summer, behind Deledio.
