I reckon comparing stats from outside the last three years is really difficult because the introduction of zoning has led to so much cheap possession.

And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Fit and firing Foley’s focus on finals (Sunraysia Daily)

Fit and firing Foley’s focus on finals
By Toby Prime
Sunraysia Daily
22 Feb, 2012

A FIT and firing Nathan Foley could be the difference as to whether Richmond makes a return to finals football for the first time in 10 years.

Picked up by Richmond with pick four in the 2003 rookie draft, Foley played all 22 games for the Tigers in 2011 after enduring a horror run with injuries in 2009 and 2010.

With a full pre-season under his belt this summer, Foley is adamant that he can return to his 2007 form when he finished second in Richmond’s best and fairest.

“I’m getting fit, which is good, and accumulating training which is probably the most important part,” Foley said.

“The pre-season has been good, all the boys have trained really hard and I’ve been lucky enough to do all of the pre-season and I haven’t missed too many sessions so I’m in pretty good shape along with a lot of the boys,” he said.

The 26-year-old has played 110 games since making his debut in 2005, but is hopeful that 2012 will be the year he gets to play finals football.

He played really well the other night, something that seems to have been largely overlooked.
Hope he has a fantastic season.

With another pre-season under his belt and good run with injuries, I reckon he'll fly under the radar while the opposition focuses on Dusty, Cotch, and Lids, and have a ripper season.

I actually thought his game last week against Hawthorn was the best I'd seen him play since he was runner up in the B&F. He was excellent

He still coughs up the pill when under little pressure.
