AFL has shot itself in Crows case

THE Yarrawonga Pigeons need a full-forward to cover for suspended star Brendan Fevola - and Richmond champ Matthew Richardson could be the man.
Richardson, who booted 800 goals for Richmond before retiring at the end of 2009, is at the centre of speculation as the Pigeons prepare to bring more big-name recruits to the Ovens and Murray league in 2013.
The Pigeons have already convinced Fevola to return next year, hoping the two-time AFL Coleman medallist can repeat his 100-goal effort from last season.
But with the former Carlton and Brisbane gun set to miss the Pigeons' Round 1 Easter Sunday blockbuster through suspension, rumours are rife the club is working on another former AFL champion to help launch its premiership defence.
Retired Richmond star Richardson is the name at the centre of speculation, tipped to line-up in Fevola's place.
The Weekly Times reports Geelong premiership hero Brad Ottens is also set to play a handful of games.
"It all depends on draws and once we find out all that, then we can sit down and work out what's in front of us," club president Glenn Brear said.
"Fevola is our man and we want him playing."

Another former Richmond player Kayne Pettifer has reportedly signed with Yarrawonga, joining former teammate Craig Ednie in the Pigeons line-up.
Fevola will play his first game for the season against Jason Akermanis' North Albury in Round 2.
Akermanis presided over his first training session at the Hoppers last week.
