Dow (knee) is the one in doubt.
Fire away with your changes?
-
Ross the only one I'd consider dropping.
Dow maybe missing.
If Dusty and Grimes are fit those are the two that will probably come in, with a bit of shuffling on the field.
-
Hope Dow gets up, his clearance work was enormously positive.
I'd personally like to see Castagna have a rest and Aarts back in VFL too. Maybe Castagna as sub. Id also like to see Miller stay in but for team make up might be stiff with Grimes coming back.
After such a good win dunno if many changes will happen.
1. RCD for Dow is he doesn't get up
2. I'd explore Castagna as med sub role and give Maurice jnr a crack.
Ins: Martin, RCD, Grimes
Out: Parker, Dow (inj), Miller (stiff)
-
I'm assuming we won't see Dusty for a few weeks
INS: Grimes, Riewoldt, RCD
OUTS: Miller, Parker, Dow (inj)

Hardwick said Grimes would return for Sunday’s clash with St Kilda, while both Prestia and Riewoldt were chances to play if fully fit. But, Hardwick emphasised he is rapt with the players in the side after Sunday's win.

Is Jack a walk up start if fit?

Is Jack a walk up start if fit?
He'd wanna be 100% for me, not just 'good enough'.
-
Is Jack a walk up start if fit?
He shouldn't be. The forward line looked the best it has in a long time without him today
-
Maurice Jnr was very good today. Stack was too but injured his shoulder after half time and it looked serious.
-
RCD in for Dow...guess Grimes will come in for Miller if he gets up...likewise Riewoldt for Parker who in turn should replace Aarts as the sub...Cumberland should come in for Catkickit but we all know that ain't gonna happen... :shh
-
Out Ross for me thought he was very ordinary again and just gave us nothing.
Castagna again the total lack of polish was on display again.
McIntosh did he play. On that game has to be on notice. wont be dropped though.
Graham again gave us very little on the inside but is probably safe
Dow inj.
Picking Aarts has cost a kid some game time
IN Cumberland, Riewoldt not sure if this is the right thing to do if we continue to play two ruckmen,RC-D, Grimes and a little bit of shuffling of players to allow the retention of some.

Claw- watching on the tv is not the same as watching live. McIntosh is a walk up start as his running is the key to his play. Big and strong doesn't go un-noticed either. The only area Cumberland needs to fix is his kicking. Way to inconsistent and could be found out at the top level. Looking good in the other parts of his game though...
Graham is a workhorse beast :shh
-
He has many flaws but McIntosh's inclusion can't be underestimated as a contribution to the win.... sets the tone for work rate..... :thumbsup

There is a fair bit more to the game than work rate getting a bit of ball for one. FFS he is playing on a wing and gave nothing but a bit of hard running. When he did get his hands on the ball he often fumbled.
This is the Rioli debate all over. According to most Rioli did not have to touch the ball his pressure was enough. Well hello its not enough a good winger works both ways has good pace has great footskills and has a well balanced game both offensively and defensively.
Atm we get neither but wait he runs hard all day.
-
No way you'd be playing Prestia with his history. I'd give Jack another week due to playing at Marvel
Miller for Grimes although Miller very stiff thought he was OK.
Not sure how bad Dow is but leave him in if fit.
Ross for Cumberland or Sonsie maybe??
-
RICHMOND stars Jack Riewoldt and Dylan Grimes are expected to return for Sunday's clash with St Kilda, while youngster Thomson Dow has avoided a nasty knee injury from last week's win over Greater Western Sydney.
But Dion Prestia (hamstring) is set to be another week away from selection, while defender Nick Vlastuin looks more likely for a round five return from his own hamstring injury.

There is a way to keep Miller in the team. That is something i think is important moving fwd. ATM we only have the one big bodied key defender in Tarrant as a regular. Lose him and then what.
As good as Broady has been for us so far this year i think he would absolutely kill it playing on a wing for us allowing Grimes to come into Broads spot and we can keep on pumping games into Miller. Imo it is worth a try if it means getting games into another big defender.
Think Ross was terrible so just bring in Collier-Dawkins.
Castagna kicked the one goal but fair dinkum just about everything else he touched turned into disaster he was putrid. Play Cumberland ffs.
Play sonsie even as a sub instead of Aarts.
And agree if Dow is fit then leave him be.
Blokes who should be in the gun imo are Graham and McIntosh.
If we go two Ruckmen then i would not be rushing back Riewoldt besides Parker probably did enough.
I would also like them to shuffle it around to find a way to get some more games into Mansell. But that would be a bridge too far atm.

Team Tips:
At the time of writing, it seems more unlikely than likely Dustin Martin will return to the side. Dylan Grimes was withdrawn from the side due to soreness but should be fit for Sunday’s game. There were no injuries for the Tigers on the weekend, so the only changes would be on form. Thomson Dow and Ben Miller are the two on the fringes, with Matthew Parker doing enough on the weekend to keep his spot in the side.

I.loved our forward line setup with Bslta and Lynch wouldn't be rushing Jack in we look more mobile and dynamic.Only concer is smalls in our forward line. Agree got to find way to keep Miller in he will get better with games and with him Gibcus and Biggie showing signs that's a great spine.
-
In Rioli Jnr, Grimes and RCD
Out Aarts, Ross and Castagna.
Don't rush Jack in. Hopefully Dow can play.
-
Grimes and Dow trained fully today. The main training session is Friday morning so we'll see how Jack goes then and if he does full training.
-
Make Jack the medical sub. Break in case of emergency.

Dylan Grimes was a late omission against the Giants after pulling up sore following training last week, but is expected to be back to face St Kilda this week, while Jack Riewoldt is also due to return after thumb surgery. Grimes will likely take the spot of Ben Miller, who came in as his replacement against the Giants. Thomson Dow was substituted out of the game in the last quarter with a knee issue for Jake Aarts, who could retain his place in the selected 22, but Dow is also a chance to be passed fit to play which will make for some tight selection calls for the Tigers.
Verdict: Grimes and Riewoldt in the 22 for Miller and Dow, with Dow to be the sub.

RICHMOND
Richmond are hopeful Dion Prestia (leg) and Jack Riewoldt (thumb) will return for Round 3, while coach Damien Hardwick has backed Dylan Grimes to return.
The Tigers suffered only one injury in the win over GWS, losing Thomson Dow to a leg injury.

Be surprised if Prestia is back this week.
-
May as well name a team each week so this week id would have liked em to go
FB: Grimes - Tarrant - Rioli. Prefer Stack or Mansell to Rioli but it wont happen
HB: Short - Miller - Gibcus. Prefer one of Stack or Mansell to Short but it won't happen.
C: Broad - Pickett - Ralphsmith. Have simply rolled Hugo and Broad up to accomodate the inclusion of Miller and played Pickett in the guts.
R: Nankervis - Cotchin - Dow. Can only pray Cotchin can maintain the same sort of output from last week. Dow did well and won clearances.
HF: Cumberland - Balta - Bolton. Cumberland instead of Castagna.
FF: Edwards - Lynch - Parker. Kept Parker because he offers something different as far as size goes. Besides he did enough to keep his spot though id rather we play Sonsie.
Int: Soldo - RC-D - Baker - Graham. For me Baker and Graham are lucky.
Out McIntosh - Ross - Castagna - Aarts
INS RC-D - Grimes - Cumberland - ???? perhaps Sonsie.

Hmm just on one of those named by the club. M Rioli. People talk about players having to earn a spot but this smacks of picking a bloke on name.
He got two games last year when he should not have and was poor imo. based on the one good outing last week gets named this week.
A player with a far better body of work imo in Cumberland is not picked.
I think it good to play kids but in this case i think we picked the wrong one. Like daniel it seems the Rioli name has got JR a game in front of others. Thats just my perception on it.
-
Agree , on consistency of form Cumberland should be the next in line.
Unless the club knows something we don’t as an observer it seems to be inconsistent with earning a spot on this selection.

You just look for any excuse to have a good old whinge, don’t ya?
MRJ was named by many as one of our best in the VFL, now you’re complaining that he’s been rewarded by being named as an emergency. :lol

I would have selected them both...possibly Stack as well

Imagine if Rioli gets to play and they drop Costagna. He would have to complain and congratulate at the same time. Oh and btw I wouldnt mind if they play Rioli if they drop Costagna, he really couldn't do any worse. Cant see it happening though.

do i or is it a bit of truth that irks you.
Bottom line is others have been put up for games by many supporters after good periods and all we get is no they have not earnt it. How has Rioli earnt it on the back of one decent game. If thats the NEW CRITERIA then there is no reason not to play more of the kids on the back of a good game or when a regular stinks it up.
Funny how younger blokes with the exception of famous names and higher draft picks have to stay in the two's and work on supposed short comings while regulars display short comings every week.
As to Castagna id be pleased just to have them try someone different, they cannot do any worse or be less skilled.
If it is Rioli this week id be pleased we are at last trying someone different but id be disappointed we could not play the most deserving player.
Its almost as if they have been waiting for a decent game to happen to justify playing him.
Just on Rioli's two games last yr 9 disposals of which 5 were clangers he managed a cheapie goal in each game had 2 tackles in each just the 1 one percenter and 1 c/p and generally ran around like a headless chook chasing opponents all day.
One preseason and one good ressie game later and he leapfrogs everyone.
Maybe they want to send him down the Daniel path where all he has to do is apply pressure and little else he would fit right in as we have plenty who do that.
