I'd like Hilton to get another go myself.

I'd have;

Hilton, Hartigan, Foley, Pattison

Tambling had his arse kicked in the first three quarters last week.

I thinked they've screwed Rainsey this year - hasn't had a chance.  Even when he's played he's only had 15 mins on the ground and then dragged.  Disappointed he hasn't been given a go.  Thought this week they'd give him a go, but they've let me down again (insert thumbs down smiley here)

Wy Yung talent time

RICHMOND might have a first and last-gamer against Geelong at Skilled Stadium on Sunday.

Youngster Dean Polo is a chance to make his debut in veteran Wayne Campbell's farewell game.

The lightly-built midfielder, listed at 187cm and 78kg, was last night named on an expanded bench for the Tigers' clash.

Polo was an emergency last week and has built up an impressive run of form in the past month with Coburg in the VFL.

The 19-year-old, from Wy Yung, near Bairnsdale, went to Punt Rd with selection No. 20 at last year's national draft after an outstanding 2004 season with Gippsland Power in the TAC Cup.

He won the Power best-and-fairest, represented Victoria Country at the national under-18 titles and was named in the carnival's All-Australian team.

AFL national talent identification manager Kevin Sheehan said it took Polo, who started the year in the Coburg reserves, a while to settle into his new environment.

"It was no surprise for a guy from a small country town who had to relocate," Sheehan said.

"But in the second half of the year, where some of the others might be tiring in their first year, he's just got stronger and better.

"He's coming on at a rate that would no doubt please the Richmond match committee. He's dominated in the last four to six weeks."

Tambling had his behind kicked in the first three quarters last week.

well playing out of position didnt help! the first q and 1/2 he played in the back pocket and his 3rd quarter was ok as he started attcking th eball and presenting well, and btw his last quarter alone is enough for him  to earn selection this week!

I think (quite rightly btw) that when we are talking about young blokes it's important to give them different roles. Deledio's played off the half bank flank this season for 2 reasons 1) to improve the defensive side to his game and 2) to give us some much needed run from the back half. Tambling I reckon was put down back last week to give us run off the back line, unfortunately if didn't work out great - because he ended up in the back pocket rather than the flank

Bad luck to young Polo. It would have been good to give him a taste of AFL before the preseason.
