Scott Bassett didn't play many games for Port but one of his biggest scalps was against Hawthorn in a final 2 years ago when he shut down Nick Holland. I'm not saying he is the guy to play on Richo but backmen regularly play on bigger blokes and with the help of the midfileders can do a job.
I actually think it is harder for a big bloke to play on a smaller opponent.

I said in a post long long ago, that Skipper is not the 196 cms tall quoted in the player stats. I was fortunate enough to meet both Skipper and Grant at a function and speak to both of them. Grant is taller than Skipper and if Grant is the 193 cms quoted then Skipper is no more than 192.

Wayde Skipper's my cousin and I guarantee you he is at least 196cm.

OK, basicly I reckon we play skipper who would do as good as anyone else when richo is on the lead. We have to start grooming a replacement key backman sometime, so it might as well be now. Cant rely on Croft for the whole year.

Structurally, I still reckon we play Crofty a loose man in defence, so he can block up richos lead, or come over the top if Richo and his oppenent are pushing each other one out.

Just heard on the grapevine, Harrison did a hammy at training.
If Croft is not ready then looks like Skipper and Bowden will get a game.
