The Tigers Top Players In The NAB 15 Challenge
The Richmond Tigers NAB 15 Challenge seemed like an odd idea at the time, as logically the top 15 players for preseason training were going to be very short and key position players would struggle. It made sense that Gaspar was not going to beat many Richmond onballers in a long distance run. Here is a quick look at the top 25 players in contention for the 15 automatic selections for the Tigers versus Cats NAB Cup opening round game. You won't see Knobel on the list. Richmond fans should be very happy with Polak, he must have certainly trained hard after the trade from Fremantle.
