Tigers half-back line makes Team of the Week

Team of the week: round 14

HB: Chris Newman (Richmond), Kel Moore (Richmond), Brett Deledio (Richmond)  :thumbsup


HALF-BACKS
Chris Newman (Richmond)
- Newman is perhaps in career-best form at the minute. He had 20 touches against the Swans and is using his long, left boot with precision. He snuck forward twice to kick two magnificent goals on Sunday, rebounded from 50 five times and also drove the ball inside 50 three times.

Kel Moore (Richmond) - On paper, Moore - who has never polled a Brownlow medal vote - against dual medallist Adam Goodes looked a little ugly. But after the Tiger successfully negated the Sydney Swans champ, Damien Hardwick’s decision proved a winner. Goodes finished with 10 marks and two goals, but Moore fought valiantly and took the honours from a duel in which the match probably hinged.

Brett Deledio (Richmond) - Deledio, who has found his niche in defence, caps a half-back line of Tigers. His run and ball use was a feature against the Swans and he, like his skipper, showed great leadership by returning to the field after injuring an elbow. Gathered 28 touches to play a big role in a stirring win.


And Jack once again is named in the forward line ....

Jack Riewoldt (Richmond) - Jumpin’ Jack was pretty flash again as he shot to the top of the Coleman medal chart with five goals. He took seven marks - including a couple of trademark beauties - as he won the ball in contested situations and slotted some important shots to keep his team in touch before the late charge to victory.
