Selected team for Round 14

[tigersalive]

Jack should play, I reckon they'll play him Half-back-flank but we'll see.

Play Gus, you've forked out the money RFC, make it worth it.

I find it interesting that 2 of the best ruckman in the comp are ex-rookies, while many high-drafted ruckman are just okay.

Hope Kreuzer doesn't follow that trend, that is unless he goes to Carlton 

[tigersalive]

No need to worry about that.  They'll beat Melbourne.

IN: Riewoldt

A deserved reward for his Coburg form  . It'll be interesting to see which end of the ground he plays on Sunday.

he will play in defence 

[bluey_21]

think we need him up forward, only Richo = not enough tall timber

[mightytiges]

he will play in defence 

You may be right X as he's been promoted on form in Coburg's backline. I hope Plough gives him an opportunity at both ends. Encourage him to play his natural game.

Jack Riewoldt back for Tigers

RICHMOND has selected tall forward Jack Riewoldt for tomorrow's match with the Kangaroos at Telstra Dome.

Riewoldt made his AFL debut in Round 9 against Essendon but was relegated back to the VFL after he collected only five possessions for the Tigers.

Richmond football manager Paul Armstrong said Riewoldt's return provided the youngster with a chance to show off his good form.

"His form over the last month at Coburg has been really consistent so he deserves this opportunity," Armstrong said.

"He's only a first-year player but we always pick the guys that are in form at the next level and don't even consider their age."

Richmond utility Chris Hyde will head to the sidelines for a week after he injured his knee in training on Wednesday.

he only became a fwd later on in his junior career, but early on, he was a chb, played most his junior footy in defence, thats why he has taken the task in defence at vfl level with ease
i think depending on match ups we may see him play both ends, jack wil be the next leppitsch, only better!

think we need him up forward, only Richo = not enough tall timber

if we play teh game as fast as last week, height wont be an issue, petts and brown will dominate . if they flood their backline and keep in congested, we may need more contested marking power so jack or even polak could get a run up fwd.
im hoping to see snake rested up fwd as a 2nd tall option this week while patto is rucking

[torch]

Riewoldt ... better be playing Half Forward ...

don't worry about the backline ... he is a forward ... let him kick goals !!!

[bluey_21]

jack wil be the next leppitsch, only better!

we can hope and he does have the confidence, but I recall leppitsch being a fine athlete, something which doesn't really go for Riewoldt unfortunately

[WilliamPowell]

actually would like to see Jack play on Archer - would be a good match up and a good chance for the kid to learn

Who played on Archer last year? Arch was doing his nut by the end even at the umps
