If Marics isnt could do with the rest again may as well play Orren - was pretty decent today

Same goes for the Vlas - keep Arnotts

Same with Arnott.
Hard week at selection this week.

Maric will have to come back in next week. Orrens done a good job in his two games as a replacement and has given Maric a chance to rest up but Maric is the no 1 and he must play next week. Vlastuin should also come in if he is fit and McBean well he could be an X Factor down the road closer to the finals.

Big o was good  :thumbsup
A caller on SEN who just called in said he went to a pre match function where Maric was present and he said he'd be resting his groin for the next couple of weeks.

That's probably not a bad call Pope, Vlas may come back in for White which leaves Arnott in the team, Big O out for Maric and maybe Batch for Tuck...maybe.

I watched it on the news last night, he is gone, no question, it was intentional, he made contact, there was no staging by his opponent his head was clearly moved back by the force of the impact.

Don't think you can compare daniel as Waite appears to be a protective species when it comes to the MRP and round 1 of the season.

With the Thomas one, every camera angle shows he headbutted him, didn't push his head into the Giants kid, clear headbutt. Granted no great force but it was stupid (they'll call it reckless, I'd call it INTENTIONAL) so that should be enough for him to get a week

Bigger concern is Petrie kicked 5 so his confidence will be up and he was the difference between the 2 sides last time

============================

Thomas could miss two weeks for headbutt
DateJuly 1, 2013 - 3:24PM 
Jesse Hogan
Sports writer for The Age

North Melbourne is set to be without its leading goalkicker, Lindsay Thomas, for the next fortnight after he was offered a two-match suspension for headbutting.

In addition to Thomas the match review panel also offered reprimands to Geelong's Joel Corey and Fremantle's Zac Dawson respectively for minor tripping and striking incidents.

Coleman Medal contender Thomas has been punished by the panel for an incident late in the Kangaroos' match against GWS.
 
Thomas won a stuff for high contact and Townsend bumped him. The Kangaroos player responded by grappling with his opponent and leaning forcefully into him, pushing his forehead into Townsend's. The Giants player immediately complained about the incident to the presiding umpire, Sam Hay.

The punishment would ordinarily be cut from two matches to one with a guilty plea. That could not occur for Thomas because the Kangaroos forward was saddled with 88.75 carry-over points for a bump that broke the jaw of Melbourne's Daniel Nicholson late last year.

If Thomas accepts the penalty he would miss the Kangaroos' matches against Richmond and Brisbane. If he elected to challenge the panel decision at the tribunal he would risk also missing the round-17 match against Carlton.

The Barometer - Round 15
Herald-Sun
July 1, 2013


RICHMOND

ON THE BLOCK: Orren Stephenson is at the mercy of Ivan Maric’s groin soreness despite acquitting himself well against the Saints. Matt Arnot was rock solid on debut and would be stiff to miss.

ON THE CUSP: David Astbury is expected to return while Maric must prove his fitness later in the week. The Tigers blew a three-quarter time lead over reigning VFL premiers Geelong to go down by 20 points. Out-of-favour goal sneak Robin Nahas was among the Tigers best as was Shane Tuck and Ricky Petterd. Nahas boasts a good record (12 goals from six matches) against North and could earn a reprieve, exposing the Kangaroos’ backs for speed.

GILBERT GARDINER’S FORECAST: A top four spot is there if Richmond wants it bad enough. The midfield runs deep. Jack and Tyrone can work in tandem with devastating effect and the back six can hold up under pressure. But the fact remains, Richmond’s yet to knock off a team in its own ‘weight division’. North Melbourne, a team the Tigers have struggled with in recent times, is the prime candidate. Game on!

Loved the game against St Kilda, Dan Jackson continued to be better than he was worse. Loved McEvoys hit against Arnott where McEvoy nearly knocked himself out. Loved Arnotts game as well. Cotch not looking his usual sparkling self, has been off for a few weeks now, is there a niggling knee injury there?
Big O was adequate and better than I thought he would be.
Matty White was great again and very effective.
Now I want to ask all you footy gurus a question about who is our best match up against the player who single handedly beat us last year...Boomer Harvey. We had no one who could stay with him and he is way too dangerous to let him roam free. I was thinking that Matty White should tag him. He has the speed and maybe the skill to negate Harvey. Any legs to this line of thought from OER Brains trust

Morris for me.. Just doesn't get beaten. Imagine lining up on Morris, you would think 'stuff I'm going to earn every kick and be very sore tomorrow.... And the next day....and the next day.'

I like your idea of White on Boomer as he probably needs a full game anyway and I'd make Newman the sub. I'd love to see newy play forward a lot more too.
I'd rest Maric for the next 2 weeks and give the big O those games then Ivan should be cherry ripe for an assault on the big three. 
I wouldn't change anything this week but I'd consider giving King a rest next week to bring in Vlastuin or Tuck.
The most pleasing thing is we don't need to resort to bringing in Nanas.

I would rather have them worry about Cotch running free, bind up Booker with a shut down player. Morris may well be the go but I think Whites speed would help out there, Plus Kingy resting with Tuck floating in mid field and @ CHF ish as he plays very tall and is a good kick for goal....??

RICHMOND - In the Mix

Nick Vlastuin will probably play after being a late withdrawal against St Kilda with a corked shin while David Astbury (ankle) is expected to be available. The Tigers will test Ivan Maric (groin) throughout the week. Shane Tuck had 31 touches in his VFL return from a shoulder injury on the weekend and Ricky Petterd had 29, Robin Nahas 24 and Sam Lonergan 22, but after the Tigers' 64-point win over the Saints, competition for spots is hot. - Jennifer Phelan

Dead right....it's just al being a smart ass again. Do we need a 3rd tall back?? Wouldn't even be surprised if A Edawards did a bit there just like he did across half back last week...could be anyone though.

Stuff me, the Football brains of some on this forum just astound me. If Tuck comes in for Batchelor then I'll leave this forum for good. There is no stuffing way we will replace a KPB with a mid. If and i say "If" we were to drop Batch for another other than another KBP it would most probably be Pettard but even that would be a selection shock in my opinion.

jack gets criticised all the time for being negative i suppose me too.  so hes cut back the posts like me.
yet generally win lose or draw id say jacks stance has been consistent when commenting on players.

when we win i reckon jck should acknowledge the win more often than he does.but ya know wins dont change player skillset ability smarts etc.
i reckon we all knew weeks ago the real tests were coming.
we have nm a genuine 50/50 game carlton 50/50. we have to play an improved gcs in cairns where we have struggled and we have top 4 sides in freo haw and sydney yet most carry on as if we are already top 6 and likely top 4. theres a real possibility still that we will be in a dog fight just to make it. if we want credability we need to really perform against all those sides mentioned.

imo and i reckon there is some who think the same way,  we have problems in defence with talls. problems forweard with talls. and we have ruck problems in short we are brittle structurally.

Tuck for Batch or White maybe the only change if we have any at all.

Bring in tuck, so he can amass 40 disposals and put em straight in boomers hands   ;D

Stuff me, the Football brains of some on this forum just astound me. If Tuck comes in for Batchelor then I'll leave this forum for good. There is no stuffing way we will replace a KPB with a mid. If and i say "If" we were to drop Batch for another other than another KBP it would most probably be Pettard but even that would be a selection shock in my opinion.

 :lol

which of the roo's forwards do you envisage Tuck lining up on?

Don't be silly, its obviously Petrie.
But seriously even you must know he doesn't mean Tuck in the backline although I am curious who he expects to play the 3rd tall back?

Dead right....it's just al being a smart ass again. Do we need a 3rd tall back?? Wouldn't even be surprised if A Edawards did a bit there just like he did across half back last week...could be anyone though.
LOL. Theres more chance of Tuck being picked to play down back than edwards.

Probably considering they use 3 tall forwards, or did when I last saw them. A Edwards didn't have a man in the back 50 he was just working his ass off the HF line. Would need another "tall" back

Richmond young gun Nick Vlastuin appears set to return for the Tigers on Saturday.

While ruckman Ivan Maric will miss his second consecutive game with a groin problem, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick expected Vlastuin, who missed the Tigers win over St Kilda with a shin injury but trained with the main group today, to put his hand up for selection.

"He quite possibly could have played last week but being a first year player we sort of took it easy with him," Hardwick said.

"He'll certainly put his hand up. He's a very good player to come back into the side. The unfortunate thing is one of our players has to miss out who played probably well last week."

watching the interview Arnott understands and accepts that. will just go back to the seconds and continue working hard until the next opportunity arises.

thats the sort of character you want your players to have

bullplop.
the discussion about the roos was him replacing a tall defender, ie to play on a tall.
morris does his job down back, but he wouldnt line up on KPF.

I think you'll find he played on mid sized forwards, but if you reckon that means he could have curbed one of the tall North forwards that our taller defenders struggled against then good for you.

My discussion was bringing Tuck in for Batch and playing Edwards in the backline, nothing about Edwards playing on a tall defender, they didn't have 6 tall forwards!!!!

Just another example of you not liking it when I make a good call.. :wallywink

 :lol a good call.
edwards was of the extra men hardwick put back when we had the wind against us. In the last quarter when we didnt need the extra men back he subbed edwards off.

Batchelor had been playing the third tall role, and often was found out due to lack of height,(amonst other things) and subsequently was again against north and their tall forward line,yet you wanted to replace him with a bloke 4cm shorter. so if he wasnt going to play on the third tall for north, who was?

Now when that bloke plays a role acroos half back when we stack the backline kicking into a strong breeze you somehow think it justifies your odd, ill thought out theory to have him replace batchelor against north.

LMAO @  I dont like it when you get a  call right. why would i be upset at the law of averages unfolding?

Its a little bit like the 1000 monkeys theory....

The main difference is the monkeys wouldn't proclaim to the world they actually knew what they doing afterwards.

He took him off because they didn't need another man forward...not back, go read his article.!!

4cm....pft....honestly...4cm, what a load of crock, do you really think the coaching panel give a flying stuff about 4cm....

BTW, the law of averages is working more in my favour than yours lately.. :thumbsup

so where does that mean he was going to play him that quarter, when kicking with the wind?  :lol

yep, batch was dropped, but not for the north game who have a taller/stronger forward setup than GC and where we did not intend to play extra men behind the ball.

Just as well the coaches pay some attention to structure when they make changes, rather than just look to the worst performing player and drop them for anyone performing without giving any thought to structural make up of the team, until someone points out the bleeding obvious to them and then clutching at the nearest curly straw.

As for 4cm, may not be too much but when you are replacing someone who is already a bit short, another 4cm makes a fair difference, or do you actually think playing a 184cm forward as a backman on a 192cm strong marking forward is a good matchup?
