Grimes and Petterd for starters will miss.

He was certainly no stand out on the weekend but maybe he was just tagged heavily and was weary. I also heard reports that he was limping heavily after the game. I think bringing him in before he has earned his spot back also sends the wrong message particularly to players like Tuck, Arnot and Ellis who are busting a gut to get or keep their places in the midfield.
You'd hope he plays better than he has so far to warrant this decision

Looks like the panic button has been activated .

Tiger Foley makes long awaited comeback

ALMOST a year after he last played at senior level, Richmond midfielder Nathan Foley has been named to make his AFL return against Port Adelaide on Saturday at AAMI Stadium.
Foley, 27, last played in the seniors on June 1, 2012, in the Tigers' eight-point win over St Kilda before he tore his Achilles tendon at training after missing four games with a heel complaint.
Surgery ruled him out for the rest of the season leaving him to gradually build up his running over summer, from restricted-load bearing on the club's Alter-G machine, to full work back out on the track.
He played his first VFL game on April 21 against the Northern Blues and has graduated from half a game that Sunday to a full one against Essendon's VFL side last weekend.
"He's trained incredibly hard over a long period of time and we have been what we feel has been cautious," coach Damien Hardwick said on Thursday.
"We've held him back, mainly because of his importance to the side.
"Last week was his first full game and he played three quarters the week prior, so we're pretty confident that he's ready to go.
"I asked him last week whether he thought he was ready to play and he said he'd prefer to get one more game in, so we gave him that luxury.
"I know he's ready to go this week."
The popular Tiger will be a welcome boost to the Richmond midfield for the side's second interstate trip in two weeks.
Teammate Luke McGuane recently said the players were excited Foley was on the verge of a return with his renowned work at the stoppages important to the team.
"He was one of our stars before he had the achilles problem and I'm sure he'll come back and be a very good player for us," McGuane said last month.
"He's a very humble guy but a really great guy, and the way he carries himself around the club … he's had so many horrible injuries.
"Hopefully this is the end of it for him and he can really come back and enjoy the rest of his career."

Gee there's a significant difference in the size of the calf of his injured leg to his good leg. Will take at least 12 more months to get that back.

Midfield has not been full strength for ages.
