On the outer: Who is missing selection for your club?

AFL.com.au
May 25, 2016


SOME are favourite sons, others new arrivals from other clubs or much-touted youngsters who haven't quite come on. They are the forgotten men who are plying their trade mainly in the state leagues rather than the big time.

AFL.com.au takes a look at who's on the outer at your club, and other players who are kicking off the dew in suburbia.

RICHMOND

IVAN MARIC
Often referred to as the Tigers' "spiritual leader", Maric has been available for selection since round three but played four of the seven games since in the VFL and just two in the senior team. Shaun Hampson has moved into the No.1 ruck role and performed more than adequately, particularly at centre bounces. Maric needs more VFL minutes under his belt before he resurfaces at AFL level, where there will be serious competition for the spot.

Anyone else?

Prized youngster Ben Lennon was dropped ahead of last year's elimination final and has only played two games since. Defender Jake Batchelor isn't a walk-up start in the back six, while midfield recruit Jacob Townsend has played more VFL than senior games.
