we shouldnt play anyone that is not 100%

if that means Newman, Jack and White sit out, so be it.

We are good enough to beat Carlton without them, lets keep them on ice for the semi finals

If Tuck doesnt play I will be very dissapointed

No maybe not, but the point your missing is  Shane Tuck has given 100% for every game he has played over the last decade.
The anywhere, anytime Tigers.

Shane Tuck injured VS Petterd/Lonergan/Nahas fully fit.

I know who I'd pick.

Why is everyone so down on Petterd? He has played well in every game I've seen him in this season. Sure he has been injured on 2 occasions and his kicking for goal leaves a bit to be desired, but, he can play many roles and has the ability to do the mercurial at times. I reckon he has the potential to be game changer in what is ordinarily (finals) a tightly held contest.

We need Whitey and Foley and hopefully he can use the ball well. They both can play outside and have speed. Carlton seem to kill us on the outside.

Greatest elements we need against Carltons tight man on man style is height and run. They hurt us in the ruck plus on the spread and rebound. We need to expose their back line with size and speed. This is why we need the Big O to remain in the side with White, King and Edwards hurting them with their run, crumbing capabilities and defensive pressure. A Edwards shoed against the Dons that he can lock the ball inside the F50 too so with Jack also pressuring the defenders that makes for a damaging forward line and a strong ruck line up too.

Throw either White or Foley in the sub, Newman in Petterd's place and we will win with that line up  :thumbsup

As much as I love the man, Tuck needs to go in place of S Edwards.......unless its wet  :shh

Gives it away alot or butchers it to a bloke who often is under pressure to keep possession.
He lost me a fair way with his twitchy game dropping easy marks under little pressure against the Pies way back in Round 4. He does some nice things and then undoes everything with clangers.

And to top it off he's selfish. Maybe even a bit up himself?

Has a big eye for kicking goals when he could find a better positioned team mate.


Backup player IMO. Not best 22. Would keep him though. And he needs another 5kg FFS. No skinny runts anymore please.

RICHMOND

Chris Newman (ankle) and Jack Riewoldt (knee) have been described by coach Damien Hardwick as "locks" to return and play in the Tigers' first final since 2001. It seems the entire football world is waiting on Newman to take the field and play his first final after 232 games. Speedster Matt White, who hurt his hamstring on Saturday night against Essendon, is a 50-50 prospect to play against Carlton. Improved midfielder Shane Edwards, who has played 19 games this season, has served a one-match suspension and is certain to be recalled. - Nathan Schmook

Petterd's lack of skills in particular kicking greatly worries me. You can't afford to miss easy shots at goal in a final otherwise you are gone.
