Changes for the Swans game?

Higgins got to go .

I disagree, starting to play through the midfield and is doing ok IMO.
The kids going to be a gun long term there’s no doubting that.

Know him personally from his junior years, like him a lot, but is he the worst set shot kick for goal in the history of the game?

Could have been costly that missed shot just before half time. Does need to work on his set shots.

No one can beat Michael Laffy for that honour.

Will Houli and Prestia be back?

Will Houli and Prestia be back?

Houli won't.

Prestia will apparently be right to go but he hasn't played since round 7. Will he get a run in the VFL first to build up some match fitness or will we throw him in cold? Given the game is on the harder and faster surface of Etihad, it won't surprise me if we give him another week before coming back into the seniors.

Prestia is, at the very least, as good as Edwards and Lambert. What a bonus getting him back will be

[Tiger Khosh]

Prestia will be a massive addition to the midfield. Frees up dusty and cotch too.

I’d be suprised if MacIntosh plays

Iv been surprised for a couple of months now,

Surely Prestia has to be managed now so that he's fit and cherry ripe for Finals .

You would think so, matty. Give him a run in the VFL and then bring him back for the GF replay at the 'G the following week.

The Barometer - Round 15

Herald-Sun
25 June 2018

RICHMOND

ON THE BLOCK: The Tigers are coming off the bye after beating Geelong in a tough contest in Round 13. Ryan Garthwaite was impressive on debut but is vulnerable if David Astbury is declared fit.

ON THE CUSP: Astbury was a late withdrawal for the clash against the Cats and should be declared fit for Thursday night’s blockbuster against Sydney. Dion Prestia is getting closer to resuming from a calf injury as he completes a mini-preseason and Bachar Houli will be touch and go.

KATE SALEMME’S FORECAST: Can’t wait for Thursday night’s top-of-the-ladder clash as the Tigers and Swans meet at Etihad Stadium. Why isn’t the game at the MCG? That’s a conversation for another day. The match is the first of a big six-week stretch for Damien Hardwick’s team, where they can cement a top-two finish with matches against Adelaide, GWS (away), Collingwood and Geelong. Everything is looking good for the reigning premiers with little to worry about on the injury front and the team in great form.

Star Tiger set to return for Etihad blockbuster

afl.com.au
Jun 26, 2018

PREMIERSHIP midfielder Dion Prestia is set to return for Richmond in its top-of-the-ladder clash with Sydney on Thursday night. 

The 25-year-old has not played since round seven after battling a calf injury, and has managed just four games this year. 

But the former Gold Coast star is expected to be brought straight back into the Tigers' line-up for the contest. 

Coach Damien Hardwick said the Tigers had prepared Prestia to be available at AFL level. 

"Dion will be available for selection this week, which is a real positive for us," Hardwick said on Tuesday. 

"He's had a really good, solid training block so he'll put his hand up straight away for AFL [selection] and we'll make that decision today (Tuesday)." 

Prestia was a key cog in Richmond's midfield last year as it surged towards its drought-breaking premiership in what was his first season at the club after crossing from the Suns. 

He gathered 27 disposals and kicked a goal in the Tigers' Grand Final win over Adelaide. 

Hardwick said the club had thought about bringing Prestia back through the VFL but decided against it. 

"We did consider it but the fact is we got two really good training blocks with Dion and that was always the train of thought just to get him right for AFL," he said. 

"He's such a vital player to the way we play and we can't wait to have him back. He'll get through training today and he'll put his hand up and he'll play this week, which is good." 

Key defender David Astbury will return from the ankle injury that saw him miss the Tigers' clash with Geelong in round 13 before its bye last week, but defender Bachar Houli is not yet ready with his groin injury.
