Mine's similar to yours GB.

Polak - play all games barring injury/suspension. Servicable. Will probably cop some stick from Tiger fans. Like Simmo will take till late in his first year for us to adjust.   
Kingsley - play 16+ games averaging 2 per match.
Riewoldt - 6 games will most of them early on. Jack willl want to play more though
Edwards - Might scrape a Richmond game depending on injuries but will spend most of his time developing at Coburg.
Connors - 3 games for Richmond but most at Coburg.
Petersen - 50/50 Coburg seniors/reserves
Collins - 50/50 Coburg seniors/reserves
King - 2nd in line to be promoted off the rookie list behind Howat. Otherwise similar form for Coburg as 2006.
Clingan - 50/50 Coburg seniors/reserves

Barring injuries

Polak - all 22 games plus finals  :thumbsup

Kingsley - between 16-22 games

Riewoldt - will start the season in the seniors and play between 8-12 games

Edwards - will play seniors but not many - maybe 3-5

Connors - I think will surprise and play 10-12

Petersen - Dreamtimeat the 'G will see Carl make his debut - 3 games possibly 6

Collins - Coburg for 2007 - development year

King - Will play NAB cup and everyone will see why we rookied him - if there isn't any injuries he wont play seniors but will again star for the Burgers :thumbsup

Clingan - Development year at Coburg

Polak - All Games. Mainly CHB but will move forward occasionally and kick 20 for the season.
Kingsley - 15+ games and a steady goal scoring option bagging 2-3 per game.
Riewoldt - 6 games early on. A mid season stint at the Burgers. Possibly some starts later in the season depending on how well Kingsley and Petts go.
Edwards - Burgers all year with maybe 1 or 2 Senior games on the bench for experience
Connors - Will be pushing for senior selection all year with maybe 6 to 10 starts mainly off the bench.
Petersen - Like Edwards
Collins - All season at the Burgers
King - Most of the season at burgers with possibly some senior games later in the season.
Clingan - All season at the Burgers
