Mine's pretty similar HT74 except I have the captain in and I think Cogs might have another game or two at Coburg. With Schulz not playing I've gone for Polak at CHB unless we bring McGuane in.

A rough go at match-ups.

R B:    King     Thursfield      Moore
C F:    Betts       Fevola       Edwards

R HB: McMahon   Polak     Bowden
C HF: Houlihan   Hartlett   Murphy

If Fevola is out it means Carltons forward line is in trouble- Size wise and in terms of talent. Id like to see young Rance get a run at CHB - giving us the option of sending Polak forward to stretch Carltons undermanned defence. Its a big game, a huge crowd, a hated rival. What better way to start a career for a young quality kid. I hope Rance plays. It'll be a great learning experience.

Sportal saying it's unlikely we'll have any debutants apart from McMahon and Morton.

On Cogs:
"We've just got to make a decision on whether we believe that he's got enough ground time from a practice match point of view to play him or not," the Richmond coach said.

Doesn't sound like Cogs will play. You would think we'd be jumping up and down telling everyone if he was.
