Pattison in for Stafford
5:37:20 PM Fri 13 May, 2005

The Tigers have made just one change to the side which thumped Carlton by 85 points last week with Greg Stafford forced out of Sunday's match against Collingwood at the MCG with an ankle injury.

Coming into the side is debutant Adam Pattison who was Richmond's fourth selection in 2004.

Andrew Raines, Daniel Jackson and Stafford are emergencies.

Hope he kicks 5 on debut with his first 5 kicks.

yeah, woohoo go patto!!!!

Hope so too but he won't. Kicking is not his strong point at this stage - he's not crap but needs development. Look for marking as a strength.

i look forward to seeing him in action. pity about staffo, but pattison gets his chance which is exciting, would love to see him bag some goals.

Not really.TW mentioned on white line fever that what you see is what you get in terms of team selection.None of this backdoor selections.

Not sold on him yet, but we'll see how he goes on Sunday and hopefully he can for now show us a few glimpses of what he might be doing full time in the future. Soon enough we're going to need him to step up for Stafford who may retire some time soon and be a key big man.

 

[Darth_Tiger]

he looks pretty big from his picture. at his age to be so big, he could end up being a monster.

Im very excited with this guy. I can't remember the last young ruckman that we drafted besides Ottens..
Will be interesting to see how he goes.
