Who is in your team for Round 1?

[DJC]

I think that's a given.

The problem seems to be having BigH, Charlie, Cripps, SoJ, McGovern, Weiters, McDonald in the team as well, that's a lot of top end to carry under the current Stand Rule, you'd want to have pretty sticky hands and pinpoint precision kicking so the ball doesn't hit the deck too often!

Most of the players you mentioned are pretty handy when the ball hits the ground LP.

It seems like Richmond will go with Nankervis, Soldo, Grimes, Tarrant, Gibcus, Broad, Riewoldt, Lynch and Balta so there's a bit of height on both sides. De Koning and, (hopefully) to a lesser extent, Silvagni provide points of difference as rucks and I suspect that our talls would have a slight edge in athleticism and agility.

The key to the game seems to me to be getting the right match up for Dusty when he goes forward.  The other side of the coin is whether Richmond will have the right match up for Cripps when he goes forward.
