Big-man curse hits Tigers
Watch yo self, Matty Richardson; the curse that plagued the Western Bulldogs' big men last season appears to have been cast over Richmond's collection of talls, with Terry Wallace revealing that number one ruckman Troy Simmonds is out for at least another week.
With back-up Trent Knobel still sidelined indefinitely with an ankle injury, expect to see Adam Pattison and Graham Polak sharing the ruck duties against Sydney this weekend. If you were toying with the idea of adding Swans recruit Peter Everitt ($295,600) to your squad at some point this season, this could be the week your investment pays off.
In other injury news:
- Sydney star Nick Davis will be sidelined for up to three weeks after the forward aggravated a foot injury in last weekend's loss to West Coast. His replacement will be Adam Schneider, who has overcome an injured hamstring.
- Port Adelaide skipper Warren Tredrea will play his first match in more than eight months when he makes his comeback on Thursdsay night - no, not for the Power but their SANFL affiliate.

Power don't have an SANFL Affiliate, nor do the Crows...players from both these teams go into a "mini-draft" bottom ranked teams get first dibs on the new recruits to both SA based teams.
If players are recruited from the SANFL, they do not participate in the mini-draft, they remain affiliated to the club they were drafted from, in Tredrea's case, the Port Magpies...
