gotta feel sorry for polo. we are are better and harder team when he plays
-
Out: Dean Polo
I really don't understand that.
Polo was directly involved in 2 goals assists against the Hawks. One was in the last very telling - the smother of the Crawford handball and then to get it off to Deledio for a goal.
No clangers either
I know who I would have had as an out and it wasn't Polo :-\
-
Surely Cartelidge before Polo. ???
-
We are a better team with Polo in the lineup ???
-
Crap decision.
-
Geez u look @ the side and it is hard to pick.
I would say Cartledge Morton Edwards or Jacko before Polo , in that order.
Getting harder as the year goes on and will be even harder next year :pray Just wouldn't want to lose a player like Polo.
Actually not Jacko, he gives us some balls ....
Hard aint it
-
Polo hardly demands a spot in the side
Only other contender to go would have been Edwards and he's a pretty different type of player to Foley
-
Polo > Jacko

Polo > Jacko
Agree
Crap decision.
Agree
We are a better team with Polo in the lineup ???
Agree - yes we are
;D ;D
Seriously...
Getting harder as the year goes on and will be even harder next year :pray Just wouldn't want to lose a player like Polo.
Actually not Jacko, he gives us some balls ....
Having watched the replay - my problem with Jacko is his turnovers and decision making - made some shockers against the Dawks
That's why i would have gone with Polo over Jacko.
-
I would pick Polo ahead of Jacko too any day. When they find it hard to drop anyone after a win to fit back in one of our few name players, Deano seems to be the one who gets the chop :-\.
I would've thought too they would have included Rance on the emergency bench before Hyde.

Foley return timely for Richmond
The Age | August 22, 2008 - 4:34PM
The return of Foley, a late withdrawal with a hip injury from the side that beat Hawthorn last round, will aid Richmond's attempts to maintain that aspect of their game as a strength.
"Nathan's our best clearance player, so it's extremely important that he's playing this weekend," Royal said.
While Foley did some extra one-on-one work at Richmond's brief final training session on Friday, the club was in no doubt he would take his place in the side.
"He's trained all week and as far as we're concerned he's definitely in," Royal said.
The Tigers are keen to see how Cartledge, a former Essendon player who came off the rookie list to make his Richmond debut against the Hawks, fares against Sandilands.
"Sandilands is having a real dominance in the ruck and from that their clearances have improved as well.
"Certainly (Troy) Simmonds and (Tristan) Cartledge, our ruckmen, have really got to be strong this week against Sandilands, not to give him the dominance in the ruck to allow their midfield area to clean up around the stoppages."
