I agree re Newman....will definitely play Round 1. Richmond have a lot of small/medium forwards who'll need to be closely watched. Both Williams and Saad like to run offensively and maybe aren't as defensively minded. I hope Doc gets back but not sure it'll be Round 1 against Tigers.
That for me would mean back 6 of Newman, Weitering, McGovern, Saad, McDonald and Williams and then another on the bench...probably Plowman. Hard to see how both Young and McDonald would play, especially if McGovern is playing back. McDonald would then likely get first crack at Reiwoldt and Weitering takes Lynch?
Guys like Setterfield, Williamson, Cottrell will likely get squeezed out too and Durdin might not be risked with a calf....so Fisher/Owies get the small forward spots.
I hope we go with both TDK and Pittonet. Agree that Pittonet isn't your A-Grader like a Gawn etc, but loved his game the other night and he makes a contest every time. He'll need to do that again up against Richmond.
