SIX Richmond players are a chance to be promoted from the VFL for the Tigers’ upcoming clash with Geelong at the MCG on Saturday, according to Tigers coach Terry Wallace.
Dual best-and-fairest winner Joel Bowden, Kayne Pettifer, Graham Polak, Greg Tivendale, Jay Schulz and Dean Polo all featured in Coburg’s VFL game on Saturday during the AFL’s Hall of Fame bye weekend and did enough to warrant a recall according to Wallace.
“I would have thought at least six players from the affiliate side Coburg that had the ability to knock on my door and say ‘I reckon I’ve done enough to play senior football,” Wallace said earlier today.
“Well six of them aren’t going to get in.”
Trent Cotchin, the No.2 selection in last year’s NAB AFL Draft, is, according to Wallace, close to playing his first game of AFL football after an impressive second-half performance for Coburg.
Cotchin has now featured in four VFL games after recovering from achilles soreness which hampered him during the pre-season.
