Tigers to field strong line-up JAKE NIALL
May 19, 2010 DESPITE the loss of Daniel Jackson, Richmond will field perhaps its strongest team this year if Ben Cousins is able to prove his fitness for the Dream Time game against Essendon.
The Tigers believe Cousins is a likely but not certain starter for the Essendon game and if he does take his place, it will be the first time this season that they have had Cousins, Dustin Martin and Nathan Foley in the team at the same time - along with arguably the club's two best players, Brett Deledio and Trent Cotchin.
The Tigers were much better in the midfield against the Hawks, winning the centre clearances and inside 50 counts decisively, thanks especially to Cotchin's 11 clearances.
The addition of Cousins would offset the loss of Jackson to suspension and add some class.
Richard Tambling is expected to play.
