AFL trade week: How your club fared
The Australian
October 13, 2006

RICHMOND
The Tigers were quite rightly rapt to sign Graham Polak and still retain a presence in the first round of the draft. Polak is likely to slot straight into centre half-back in the height-challenged Tigers defence. Rumours that tough midfielder Shane Tuck could have been offered up as trade bait came to nothing.

The proof will be in the pudding.  People weren't too sure about the recruiting of Mark Graham and Patrick Bowden either.  Time will tell.

The club did all right, they got a ready made player who is still a baby, and still got a 1st round pick in a draft with allegedly plenty of talent. Not happy, not unhappy, because I don't know how good/bad Polak is

Time will tell how good he is, but the same for the draft picks - all speculative. 

Good recruiting in my book to go for a young 50 gamer at this stage of our development.
