Still waiting for a side with 22 players that can kick.
Newman Rance Houli
Deledio Astbury Grimes
Cotchin Martin Conca
Griffiths Vickery Helbig/MacDonald
King Riewoldt Helbig/MacDonald
Foll: Derickx Foley Jackson Grigg
Interchange: Morton(?) Batchelor (?)
I believe Derickx will take over as our #1 Ruck in 2012, I just get this feeling that the kid will burst out onto the scene in the next couple of years, Ruckman with his size, mobility and skill are very rare.
I've placed Helbig and MacDonald twice on the HFF and the BP, I believe they are both our best options for the mid-sized forwards and with Helbigs massive hoof on him and MacDonald's goal sense I would prefer MacDonald closer to goal.
Actually that team on paper looks pretty darn good, very inexperienced but plenty of size, speed and skill within that group, and if Contin and Jakobi develop the way the club is hoping then I could definitely see a position within the team for them.
EDIT: Forgot to add my man Batchelor onto the bench, completely forgot about this kid but this kid has shown more class and poise under pressure then I've probably ever seen from a 1st year player playing in the blackhole that is the Richmond defence.
