October 30th 2009 03:53
RICHMOND has cut nine players from its list including utility Graham Polak.
Polak, who suffered serious head injuries when he was hit by a tram in July 2008, fought back to play the last two games of this season.
Tigers general manager of football Craig Cameron said the club would explore the possibility of recruiting Polak back as a mature-age rookie.
"We will investigate the opportunity of offering Graham Polak a position on our rookie list through the 2009 Rookie Draft, but obviously this will not be confirmed until after the draft has taken place," Cameron said.
Along with Polak, Nathan Brown, Mark Coughlan, Kayne Pettifer, Adam Pattison, Cleve Hughes, Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls, Dean Putt and Jarrod Silvester were also shown the door.
Joel Bowden and Kane Johnson have retired while Andrew Raines and Jay Schulz were traded to Brisbane and Port Adelaide respectively.
Meanwhile, small forward Robin Nahas has been promoted to Richmond's senior list.
The Tigers have picks three, 19, 35, 44, 51, 67, 72 and 83 in next month's national draft.
