Maybe one forced change if Jacko's groin injury keeps him out.
Any others?
-
Jacko looked pretty sore to me , 10 days I would have thought, here comes Milesy :clapping
-
Miles and Maric in, vicks vaporub and wacko jacko (injury) out
-
London to a brick Griffiths will make way for Maric.
-
Only player that would consider bringing up from the VFL team would be Petterd
Think Ivan will need one more game ?

reckon one of griffiths or vickery has to go. not getting much from either even in a romp.
-
Ivan in for Vickery perhaps ?

Jacko just a corky

Correct mail on Ivan.

Unless they drop Vickery then play Ivan for the larger proportion up forward
Thought Hampson was real good today

Have to disagreed with you. Would bring in Arnot. Played really well and was hard at the contests. Maric should come straight in. Played the entire game against Werribee and was excellent throughout. Petterd is way too inconsistent. His disposal is poor as is his decision making.
-
miles had a quite one they have found their excuse not to bring him in.
yet again it would be typical richmond wouldnt it. to ignore a player while hes tearing it up only to bring him in when the form drops off.in fact id say milesy is a cert to get picked we always promote mediocrity you have learnt son its the only way to get a game. lol.

Reckon they might drop McDonough back next week for Petterd
If Ivan plays .Vickery or Griffiths one has to go

Poor?
He wasn't poor at all. Made a couple of errors but also took the game on and set up a few plays. Wasn't our worst. Kicked his first goal for us too. Backmen kicking goals is a bonus.
-
Petterd can play at both ends
Reckon they will go with him next week

seemed to go missing for big chunks of the game would be interesting to see the game time he got.
i still dont see it with him seems to be a player who is okay at most things but master of none. reckon he lacks pace for his size combine this with his height and i dont want to see him playing down back.
didnt we take him as a goal kicking sml fwd who could play thru the middle in time.
-
I agree with The Claw
Don't like him down back
-
lacks pace and gets caught too often, struggles to shrug the tackle or dispose of the ball correctly when tackled.
-
Miles for Jacko (Injured)
Arnot for Grigg
Ivan for Vicks Vapour Rub

i thought Ivan was great in the VFL and played the whole game, maybe he does need another week but why not play him rotating with Griffiths. Arnot was tough at it as well, Gee Miles has a bit of go as well.
-

Reckon they will go with him next week
That guy is poo. He should be delisted. Bring in Ivan for Vickery but no doubt they'll drop Griffith for him

Agreed, thought he continued to take a step fwd yesterday. Always looks to take the game on and liked the part where he saw a big bloke from GWS coming at him, just backed himself and ran straight past with ease instead of panicking and looking to dish off. People keep saying he's slow, but hes far from it.
-
Grigg. Miles
Jackson. Arnot
Maric. Hampson
Due to no faith on darrou and astbury injury Chaplin is safe
London to a brick Griffiths will make way for Maric.
Would be another mistake
Needs to remain in the team ditto donuts
If Lennon is dropped the poo trucks need to start going punt road
-
Leave poor Donut alone..he went missing for large chunks of the game because the ball was on our forward line for large chunks of the game.Secondly the kid is nothing but a natural half forward,so play him there.
Thirdly at this stage of his development he might appear slow but that might be due to still finding his feet.
Just give him time and lets see how he goes
-
You would not drop Hampson on yesterdays game no way. he played superb all over the ground.
Jackson (inj) for Miles.
-
His disposal is abit iffy even that goal that Jack kicked turning has man and running in the secnd was more on Jack's brilliance rather than Matt's shocking kick.
He does okay but its heart in your mouth stuff when he has the ball at times for me at this stage.

INS: Petterd, Miles, Arnott,
OUTS: Jackson (inj), McDonough, Thomas or Ellis
Maric needs another week, huge step up from VFL to AFL needs more match fitness
McDonough is probably a tough call but what stood out yesterday is in the clinches he decision making is very slow. Great example was right in front of us and he stood back believing the ball was going out of bounds, it didn't and it was until his opponent ran past him he decided to go after the ball. It didn't look good, it wasn't good = poor decision, slow decision
Thomas, well just butchers the ball and puts his teammates under ridiculous pressure with his poor disposal. Said it before will say it Gaian he must play to his obvious limitations
As for Ellis, don't let the 25+ possessions fool you! Yet again stood back off contests, refused to chase, and chimes on the with those little "dinky" nothing kicks.
Neither Ellis or Thomas will be dropped because they are favourites but I can dream can't I? ;D

Im so happy that you see what I see regarding Ellis.
I disagree on Thomas in terms of I love the way he plays, we are so timid as I side and have been for way to long. He puts his head over it and that's ok by me. I didn't notice his disposal yesterday which usually means it was ok.
I'll buy another membership if they drop Ellis and bring in Miles. Miles didn't rack up 30 yesterday but was still in the best players. Sometimes stats are misleading!

More fool those that would drop Thomas, he was clearly amongst best 3 on the ground , instrumental with his contested ball dominance , arnot needs more than 12 possies in the vfl to knock thomo from the side :shh

I didnt see the game I took your advice and decided to do other things so I could keep my blood pressure at reasonable levels ;D
-
In: Maric, Petterd, Arnot
Out: Griffith, Jackson, Foley
While it's not what I would do, the coaching panel will drop Foley since he was only the sub and Arnot can do that. Maric is still not fit enough so they will bring him in early and drop a ruck and so Griffith must go as he's not a possible key forward like Vickery. Griffith can also pinch hit in defence if we have an injury so he's got to go. Jackson is doubtful and may well play half-fit but if not then the reliable Petterd comes in to give his usual qualities. :facepalm

5 moronic calls after yesterday. They all played well and all vital members of the team

Wouldn't make too many changes.
Perhaps Jacko for Miles (if injured) and that's about it.

I know what game I was watching and I stand by the fact there were at least half a dozen blokes yesterday better than him regardless of stats but as I said quality over quantity wins out 100% of the time.
Never did I say drop him but if you want to take that stance to present your feeble thoughts then so be it also.
Just like admitting earlier in the season you don't go to games yet were making outlandish comments with no substance.

I don't think there will bring Maric in for this game. One of the reasons why we grabbed Hampson was that he could match up better than Maric against the tall, jumping ruckmen such as Ryder. They could experiment with the Hampson/Maric combination but I hope they don't - I don't believe it ill work.

The Barometer - Round 11
Herald-Sun
May 26, 2014
RICHMOND
ON THE BLOCK: The block is clear at Tigerland for the first time in a while. Daniel Jackson might struggle to come up for Saturday night’s Dreamtime game against Essendon but it’s hard to see anyone being dropped on form. If Damien Hardwick really wants to make a change Matt Dea, Ben Lennon and Matt McDonough were serviceable rather than spectacular against GWS, but none of them did much wrong. The one dilemma will be finding a spot for Ivan Maric if the big man is ready to rock — can the Tigers play Maric, Shaun Hampson, Ty Vickery and Ben Griffiths in the same side?
ON THE CUSP: Maric had 41 hit-outs, 19 disposals and two goals in the VFL to put up his hand for his first game this year. Anthony Miles (eight clearances) is the logical replacement for Jackson if required, while Ricky Petterd and Brett O’Hanlon continued their strong VFL form to remain on the fringe of senior selection.
AL PATON’S FORECAST: No microwaves, no chook poo — things are looking up at Punt Rd after a much-needed win. The opposition wasn’t much but the best part of Richmond’s demolition job on GWS (apart from Jack’s 11 goals) was under-fire players such as Bachar Houli, Troy Chaplin and Ty Vickery repaying the coach’s faith with their best games in weeks. They will be placed under a lot more pressure against the Bombers but if they can carry the confidence and slick ball movement from Saturday the Tigers have to be a chance given Essendon’s form issues. That would set up another mini-final against the Kangaroos the next week — Tiger fans might have to get used to hearing that phrase.

RICHMOND
Ivan Maric should be a welcome return after a commanding second game back in the VFL. The ruckman kicked two goals and had 41 hit-outs in the club's VFL loss to Werribee. Daniel Jackson will be tested this week after being subbed out of the Tigers' landslide win over Greater Western Sydney with a leg injury. In his place, Anthony Miles appears primed to come in after being elevated last week and playing well in the VFL. Aaron Edwards and Ricky Petterd were also mentioned as having standout games while Orren Stephenson looks set to miss a week with a hamstring and Todd Elton has injured his shoulder.

Funny how we all see things differently. I thought Thomas was instrumental in the win and can't see how we'll win many games at the moment without him in the team.
His clearance work is the best at the club ( an area we're sadly lacking in ) and his disposal seemed fine to me. Thought he was quite clearly among our best few players on the park last week and he'll be one of the first players picked this week.
i'm also biased coz he got me 147 supercoach points ;D Highest score by a tiger player all year bar Jack's 180 odd

I'm a bit baffled why they bag Thomas as he's also honest in his efforts week in, week out. I recall a premiership coach once saying different players bring different qualities to the team that supporters don't always see.....
-
Mark Stevens on Ch 7 news tonight said in good news for the Tigers, Maric got through training well today and after a good game in the VFL is likely to line up in the Dreamtime game. Ivan just needs to get through a final check at Thursday training now.
Stevens also said Cotch is a carrying a slight ankle but is right to play. They showed vision of Cotch and Ivan running and joking together at training today. Jackson is the iffy one as he didn't do much in the rehab group.

So is that Achilles for Cotch ?
-
Maric will come in, he s an inspiration ,his teammates feel 10 ft tall along side him, there I said it :shh

As long as they keep Ryder quiet every year, Paddy Ryder.......

Why couldn't u say it, until just then ^^ ?

Who goes out, Hampson, griff or TV?
-

No, rolled his ankle against Melbourne. He'll be right for Dreamtime. :thumbsup

Hope it's not Griff. He seems to be the scapegoat all the time......

we should've rest him against GWS

Hampson goes for mine- played well last week but big deal. Move over for Big Ivan.
The other two offer more up forward..... Just!
-
Hamspud won't be dropped afer playing his one "good" game for the year and Hardwick will probably want two specialists against Essendon's rucks. Should be Vickery but will be Griffiths.
-
Griffiths will go
-
Hoping like blazes that Vickery is the one out. His poor form leading up to the GWS game should be taken into account.
-

Hampson won't go
History tells us that selected players who have come in from other Clubs targeted under the BH recruiting model will not get dropped no matter how they have been playing (see exhibit A - Houli and exhibit B - Grigg)
Ty's already been dropped once so he is safe for the remainder of the season ;D
So therefore it will be Griffiths (wrongly BTW)
-
Its a joke we are carrying hampson. Chaplin. Tyrone
Yet Griff will go
-
Carrying Hampson
:nope :nope :nope
Don't think so
-
Jacko, when he was interview today, said he believes he'll get up to play on Saturday night. He had a scan and it was only a corky.

not in the ruck anyway.
i dunno is it just me being tooo sceptical but ffs neither griffiths or vickery have done much to keep their spots. people talking griffiths up as if hes had some exceptional yr yet imo its only been marginally better than vickerys. you could make a damn good case to drop both but alas there are no other options unless we wish to get a game into elton.
personally id prefer to see azza edwards get a game in front of vickery this week. wont happen though. only changes that will happen is from injury.
-
It's more about how Griffiths, while still building on his output, has more presence, balls and desire THAN Vickery ALREADY.

i agree ox but hes hardly set the world on fire either.
forget vickery for a second. and i agree id rather cut vickery based on what you said, if they dropped griffiths based on form and performance would it really surprise you if it happened.

well said.
Griffiths output has been very mediocre when it comes to goals kicked. However, he has been a handy player floating down back and in the ruck. His pressure on the ball carrier has been excellent for a 200cm player and he can set up play with booming kicks that surprise the opposition and go over their zone. Vickery has kicked a few more goals but prior to last week had not had a single scoring assist all year. His pressure on the opposition has been poor when they have had the ball too.
That is why most guys on the forum prefer Benny. At the moment he has a better all round game despite much fewer games under his belt and less opportunities. He is also a year and a half younger than Ty.
-
Most likely just a guess but the Footy Show had a squad with Maric, Miles, Petterd, Lloyd and Batchelor in it.

Maric set to stand tall for Tigers, Jackson in doubt

RICHMOND’S No.1 ruckman Ivan Maric is all but confirmed for his long-awaited comeback this weekend.
The only problem for the Tigers is whose spot he takes in the side for the Dreamtime At The 'G blockbuster against Essendon.
The Tigers will decide at match committee on Thursday afternoon if Maric plays this week against the Dons, after two VFL games and about 160 minutes of match time.
While it looks less likely Daniel Jackson will face the Bombers on Saturday night after the midfielder was kept to standing drills at training on Thursday morning, Maric trained fully and looks for his first AFL game for the year.
Coach Damien Hardwick said the ruckman was the type of player that would make his teammates stand taller.
"I think the mark of a player is you make people around you better and that's what Ivan does," Hardwick said before training.
"He instils belief in players and we've missed that over the course of his absence in the early parts of the year.
"We look forward to bringing that back in.
"He's definitely put his hand up for selection, he's an important player for us, we know what he brings to the table so it's going to be an interesting discussion at match committee this afternoon."
Hardwick said part of the debate about playing Maric would centre around whether the Tigers could also accommodate Tyrone Vickery, Shaun Hampson and Ben Griffiths.
"That's the question we'll be answering," he said.
"The good thing is we're in a good selection dilemma – Ty played really well, 'Griffo' played well and Hampson played well also last week.
"We've got to make sure we make the right decision and the best decision that helps us beat the Bombers."
While Hardwick said Jackson's recovery from the hip injury sustained during last week's 113-point win over Greater Western Sydney had been strong, he remains in doubt after being heavily limited at training.

Miles :clapping in b 4 Pettard for jacko

Miles :clapping in b 4 Pettard for jacko
ha yeah right
-
Griff has been leading well up to the wing and sending the ball in with his hoof. Not sure Vickery, Maric or Vickery are capable of that play. As a result, surely if Maric comes back in it is for Vickery or Hampson.
-
Play them all I reckon. Stretch the Bummers and ease Maric back into it by letting him share a fair bit of ground time with Hampson.
-
Hamspud won't be dropped after his one almost good game for the year, besides Hardwick's desperate to play him & Maric together...been banging on about it since we signed him. Can't drop any of the poster boys for RFC's "shrewd" recruitment strategy.
Vickery had to play worse than JON to get dropped before and even then it was only for appearances.
Griffith will be the scapegoat again.
-
With Jacko, how can you have both a strong recovery and be heavily limited to standing drills at training????????????????
-
Miles :clapping in b 4 Pettard for jacko
ha yeah right
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
-
One site member has hot mail that Vickery is out
-
hot male or mail?
-
;D
-
Mrakov is a good looking rooster who has no trouble with the ladies, so I guess both!
-
hot male or mail?
Depends on the "out" ;D

More importantly and in light of the second vickery omission in a few weeks, Griffiths is seemingly being given THAT opportunity that Shittery had been.
I wouldn't be surprised but I'd be peeed off if griff was dropped.
Needs to

Needs to play ones for his next stage of development.
Needs to get harder too.
