Pattison Wants The Centre Half Forward Spot At Richmond
There is a lot of optimism at Richmond as they start the new season with a healthy list. The Tigers will have a new and improved lineup in 2008 and Adam Pattison could be a big part of their forward line, along with Richardson and Riewoldt.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
If Pattison is just a backup ruckman, spending at least half the game on the bench, he isn’t going to help fantasy teams. If he plays half the quarter as a forward, and then has a few minutes in the ruck to give Simmonds a rest, Pattison could be a very important fantasy player in 2008.
Pattison up forward could also mean Polak is again givien a position in the back half as a loose player. Polak would be a fantasy star if that occurred once more.

“I’d like to maybe start as maybe like a high centre half-forward and maybe play up above Richo,” he said.
