CibbuanoTigers want Polak on rookie list
December 10th 2008 09:40
RICHMOND has written to the AFL seeking special permission to allow Graham Polak to be placed on its rookie list next season.
Polak, who sustained brain injuries earlier this year when he was hit in the head by a tram is making steady progress but it remains to be seen whether he will be able to return to the playing field ever again let alone next season.
If Polak is granted mature-age rookie status the Tigers will use an additional pick in next week's pre-season draft.
A Melbourne newspaper is speculating that if the AFL approves Richmond's request then they will select former West Coast captain Ben Cousins despite Tigers' recruiting manager Craig Cameron stating last week that the club 'won't be taking him in the pre-season draft.'
