Polly.......... playing week after a concussion
Thommo......not on injury list and still not playing
Taylor.........not the flavour of the month at the club right now

[mightytiges]

12/10 rule this week as well?

Hopefully Postie has a good game coming back from suspension.

Polly.......... playing week after a concussion
Thommo......not on injury list and still not playing
Taylor.........not the flavour of the month at the club right now

Polly didn't play last weekend against Port Melbourne. He was knocked out the week before against Werribee.

Thomson is injured I believe. No loss as he's unlikely to survive the cut at the end of the year anyway.

Taylor's coming back from a medial ligament injury that put him out for 5 or so weeks.

12/10 rule this week as well?

Nope - doesn't apply here

RICHMOND forward Graham Polak returns in the VFL for Coburg tomorrow, 15 days after his head clash with Werribee's Mitch Thorp.

Polak, who suffered brain injuries after being hit by a tram two years ago, was concussed before he hit the ground.

Coburg coach David Newett said Polak was a certain starter against Collingwood at Victoria Park tomorrow.

"He actually wanted to play last week,'' Newett said.

"He's been fantastic. He was fine even after the collision because he knew it was just one of those things.''

Polak will continue to play without a helmet with medical experts of the opinion that headgear does not prevent concussion injuries.

Richmond ruckman Andrew Browne faces a stern test against Magpie Josh Fraser, while Paul Medhurst and Shane O'Bree continue to strive for an AFL recall.

[SPOCK]

Good match ups for a couple of the boys, imagine Polo will get Medhurst, can't see Rance on Fraser, would kill him in the air, Goo may go to CHB this week, good test for him, also big test for Browney with 4 Collingwood players 202cm or more

The match will be broadcast on VFL Radio over the net.
