Interesting to see Richo named?

 

[Ripper]

Richo ? Who do you think will miss out?

Jonesey is probably on standby for Haddrill, Sandilands & Haines should play so that leaves 2 spots for Shortmuir , Schammer , Siegert & Browne.

Glad I'm not a selector. lol

Sandilands and Haines are definites... out of the other 5, I think it will be Browne and either Longmuir or Siegert. Probably Longmuir.

Thats the way I would go. Good problem to have but, cant remember having so many players pushing for selection ever.

Richardson will not play. I dont think Frawley will risk him getting knocked to the head and missing an extra month- That will cost him his job

Hey man . thats why others get paid.

If it was for me to decide... Jones - Schammer - T.Longuir will not play with Jonesy flying out with the team

Richo in amazing recovery

Matthew Richardson is on the mend.


Richmond full-forward Matthew Richardson is on the verge of making a miraculous recovery from a broken cheekbone in time to play against Fremantle at the MCG on Sunday.

The Tigers last night named Richardson in their squad for Sunday, and coach Danny Frawley insisted that the club's superstar goalkicker had a chance of playing.

The 28-year-old was hurt during the game against Western Bulldogs last Sunday. He had surgery to repair the damage on Tuesday and was ruled out by club spokesmen during the week. But by last night, that had changed. "If I was a betting man, I'd back him to play," said Frawley. "He wants to be given every chance. There's a little bit of swelling still there, but if that comes down, then he's a very good chance. It'll be his decision in the end, but it'd be a phenomenal recovery."

Richardson's ability to play out last week's game drew praise from his captain, Wayne Campbell, this week. Campbell said the full-forward's courage had not been given due attention.

Last night, Frawley said he had been advised that risk of further damage to the injury was not an issue. "The (club) doctor is telling me to pick him in the side and then assess him later and as senior coach, I'm not going to knock that back."

The Tigers have a final training run today where Richardson is expected to make an appearance.

I'd be happy for him to play- I know Richmaond supportters wont be happy if he got another head hit

Looks like there's only one change for the game, with the squad being cut down today and Croad coming in for Schammer.
