Two forced changes at least:
Outs:
Drummond (knee)
Griffiths (calf)
Fire away .... :help
-
Arnott , Gordon , Lloyd out
3 witches hats in

Problem is our recruiting has been so poor that we have zero players performing well enough to warrant promotion. My guess will be an elevated Thomas, Vickery, Lennon and play Corey Eliis
-
Lol, the good thing about this fantastic depth we have is we won't have to rush the young guys into the team....
In - C. Ellis
-
C.Ellis is no where near playing
Don't know why people want him in
He would get steam rolled
Would think that Thomas will come off Rookie list
Lennon, Vickery , Hampson would be in consideration
For what is worth , Drummond was well ahead of C.Ellis
Poor kid was found wanting last night before he got injured
Clearly well off AFL standard
-
Foley will come back

Foley will come back
Jayden Short would be better than what Lloyd dished up last night
-
Changes? Deck chairs on the Titanic.
-
Reckon Gordon and Lloyd are average players who think they are a lot better than they really are
Both are big heads
-
Out: 22 who played last night
In: the blokes from the blue oyster bar
-
Foley will come back
Jayden Short would be better than what Lloyd dished up last night
I actually agree with this. Short has shown that he has some ability.

But if hardwick doesnt play the free agents we targeted, the mature aged players we drafted and the guys we traded for, it will look bad for him and make those decisions look like mistakes....

Who cares.
We'll get someone like Grigg this week saying.
" line in the sand game again this week"
Half time RFC 6 6 42. GFC 6 5 41
Full time RFC 10 10 70 GFC 16 14 110
Selwood inspired.
Where is Cotch?
-
Taylor Hunt squibbed the contest. :snidegrin
-
Don't matter who we bring in or out. Unless it's Deledio, Conca and Chaplin we are looking at another loss
-
Ellis needs another 6 weeks to get some conditioning! would be a huge mistake to bring him in at this stage - way underdone

100% correct
Maybe another 8
-
In .....the intensity we played with when Swooper was in charge - can I get an Amen
Out .... Who ever wants to continue this insipid brand of bruise free footy.
-
What's up with Foley? Isn't Thomas still injured to elevate him?
-
Our players are fundamentally soft in there makeup as footballers. When things get tough they disappear. It doesn't matter who plays now, the season is shot to pieces IMHO.
-

Both will be back next week
Miss Foleys run and carry
As for Thomas .not highly skilled but at least he can get a contested possession then he can butcher it by foot ( better than last nights standards )
-
Also need to play 2 permanent talls
Ivan is never going to kick a goal resting for forward
Would think Vickery, Hampson would be playing next week
Griffiths injured . Then play McBean
Might as well
-
Foley is a good bloke and a good player but this must be his last year. You cant be paid what he is getting and not play footy for as long as he has. Its time to make hard decisions at Richmond.
-

Amen
-
Vickery in for Griff.
Lennon in for Drummond.
Hopefully we get Chaplin back for Mcdonough.
Would persist with Arnott. Atleast he plays hard and has a fair dinkum crack. Got no other players to put ahead of him.
-
Vickery Hamson in for Griff.
Lennon Foley in for Drummond.
Put Maric in the goal square
:thumbsup

If we see Sideshow Bob or Hamspud again we are going backwards.
Hunt needs to be dropped just so he knows that soft footy is in acceptable, same goes for Ellis & Houli as well. Unacceptable.
Donuts isn't any good or just not ready in not really sure.
Biscuit is a phony or not fit enough.
Cotch needs to grow a dick and kick the bloody thing forward.
Martin needs to get his own footy
Morris needs to learn what a footy is.

INS: Lennon, Vickery, Foley
OUTS: Drummond (inj), Griffiths (inj), Astbury
Thought Astbury was very poor. Dawes isn't quick but Astbury made Dawes look like Osain Bolt

HAMPSON must play.
Unfortunately and I hate to say there is no evidence to suggest that Hampson could do any worse than maric so far this year.
He lacks so much mobility around the ground and at centre bounces.
Something isn't right with the lad.
-
IN
Lennon, Ellis, McKenzie, Hampson
OUT
Drummond, Grigg, Griffiths, Maric
Don't bring IN Vickery, Foley, Chaplin, Newman.
Play the cubs NOW!
Maric is horrible!
Not going anywhere with Grigg so get rid of him!
Vickery doesn't care about football, he has issues between his ears.
-
Lennon must be brought in.
-
Lennon must be brought in.
This.
Why don't we play our first round draft pick from last year who has been reasonable in the twos instead of guys that will never win us a flag? Would rather lose playing guys with talent and scope for improvement than lose with players who have limited ability that will never get better.

why do you want to bring in McKenzie. Has he done anything yet?

Why not Dea? Better decision maker than most. Seems to be in form.

Out:
Drummond
Griffiths
McDonough
In:
Lennon
Vickery
Chaplin/Elton
Consider Geelong's talls:
Forwards - Hawkins (198/108), Clark (200/103), Walker (196/99)
Rucks - Stanley (200/98), Blicavs (198/97)
Will need a mobile ruck to go with Blicavs, and 3 strong KPD's for Geelong's forwards (Rance, Chaplin and Astbury).
-
Out: Drummond (knee), Griffiths (calf), Morris (omitted), Lloyd (omitted)
In: Foley, C.Ellis, Lennon, Vickery.
As much as Ivan is struggling this year, I just can't bring myself to ever seeing Shaun "can't mark, can't kick" Hampson in the seniors again.
-
I think channel nine reported that Hunt had some sort of knee injury too......
-
The only time I want to see Hammertime is when MTV are doing a 90s special.
Maric on one leg is better.
-
Don't need Hampson for this week. Maric + Vickery should be a reasonable match-up for Stanley + Blicavs.
It's the big blokes with leap that Maric will get smashed by. Sandi, Jacobs, Goldstein, Bellchambers etc. Even Lobbe is better.

I reckon we are playing one tall short .therefore we don't get a miss match up inside F50
Reckon they play all 3 this week
Risky but they should do it
Problem is there isn't a tall up forward when Maric goes off for a rest
-
Actually think there's been a marked improvement in Maric's form the last 2 weeks. His around the ground stuff in Brissie was good
He was good against Jamar because Jamar doesn't jump, so they were rucking the same way.
I'd rather play anyone that Hampson. He is non competitive on so many levels, just being a tap ruckman isn't enough

RICHMOND
ON THE BLOCK: The axe could fall on any or all of Sam Lloyd, Kamdyn McIntosh, Matt Arnot and Matt McDonough who all had little or no impact in Friday night’s disastrous loss. A tougher question is what do with Steven Morris. The attempt to turn him into a forward has been abandoned after three weeks and playing in defence he managed just four handballs. The coach loves his attitude, but is that enough? There will be at least two forced changes with Ben Griffiths to miss at least a week and luckless teenager Nathan Drummond gone for the year.
ON THE CUSP: Some positive news with the Tigers’ VFL side recording its first win of the year in a 53-point thumping of Frankston on Saturday. Nathan Foley (30 disposals, six clearances) was best on ground, Ty Vickery kicked four goals and is a natural replacement for Grittiths and last year’s top draft pick Corey Ellis shone with 24 touches, 11 clearances and a goal. Perennial emergency Ben Lennon kicked two goals and if Richmond wants a back-up ruckman Shaun Hampson had a lazy 69 hitouts.
AL PATON’S FORECAST: On a big-picture front, the Tigers are desperate for their high draft picks of recent years to take the next step and help the usual suspects Cotchin, Martin, Riewoldt, Maric and Deledio (when he’s there) carry the load. Ben Lennon and Corey Ellis might get their chance this week along with Ty Vickery. In the short-term a lot could be fixed by playing with an intensity demanded at the top level and kicking straight; Richmond kicked 6.15 and missed three set shots within 20m. Next up: Geelong, a team Richmond has not beaten since 2006. The Cats are more gettable than at any time since then, but are the Tigers up to it?

Is Kamdyn Polo Mk II?
-
The news last night said Newy was a chance to return this week but Lids and Chaplin are likely to miss again.
-
NOOOOOO!!! I agree Sam Lloyd should be dropped. He kicked zero goals against the Demons, kicked 1 goal when he should've done more in the demolition of the Lions and only kicked 1 against the Bulldogs. He should make way for Lennon. I would give McIntosh another game to redeem himself and Arnot and McDonough should be retained as I think it's pretty rough to make them the omissions after one appearance when the entire team played like crap.
I don't see a mass overhaul though because the club probably believes we will make finals.
Based on VFL performances I would go
Vickery for Griffith (reluctantly)
Foley for Drummond
Lennon for Lloyd
Maybe Dea for Morris?
Ellis surely could come in for Grigg?
-

We can't win without these two.
Chaplin is a shitman but he's a link.
-
Latest news of twitter via the RFC is that Chaplin is now likely to play this week against the Cats
-
Lmao
-
Won't play. They're just getting the supporters a bit more positive
-
As much as Dimma's game plan/style is completely poo, his players did him no favours on the weekend. If I were Dimma I'd swing the axe. FOR ONCE!
When you are beaten by a better team fair enough but if you are beaten because your effort was insipid, make some players pay.
I'd drop Grigg, Houli, Batchelor and Ellis with Griffiths, Drummond out with injury. If you don't make an example of players when you have an effort like that it sends a message that's it's exceptable.
Ins-Foley, Lennon, Elton, Ellis, Vickery and Dea/Grimes
Plus I'd up-grade Castagna off the rookie list. He played well against The Doggies and was in the best again on the weekend. We have a couple that could go onto the LTIL, why not do it?? WTF are they waiting for?
-
Hunt is out with a knee so he'll have to be replaced too.

Agree with everything except dropping Grigg. He got 12 tackles. This represents something like a 1200% spike in performance, let's ride the wave. Ellis for Hunt by the looks.
We still look a very gluggy with that backline though, no real ball gatherer and no pace. Gee we miss Lids.

Troy Chaplin is set to bolster Richmond's defence when the Tigers take on Geelong, with the club also hopeful of regaining Chris Newman for Saturday's clash.

RICHMOND
Expect wholesale changes at the Tigers after a round four performance Damien Hardwick labelled "insipid". Two changes will be forced, with Ben Griffiths (calf) and Nathan Drummond (knee) injured, but there will surely be more. The club is hopeful senior defenders Chris Newman and Troy Chaplin will return from back and calf injuries respectively. Reece Conca (hamstring) is ready to play after two weeks of training, but he could return via the VFL after missing the first four rounds. Dylan Grimes will also play at some level after recovering from a hamstring injury. Vice-captain Brett Deledio (calf) will resume running this week but is unlikely to play. In the VFL, Ty Vickery shapes as a straight swap for Griffiths in the forward line after kicking four goals. Nathan Foley (30 possessions and 16 clearances) staked a strong claim for his first senior game this season, while No.12 draft pick Corey Ellis (24 and 11) will be considered to make his debut.

I'd like to see Elton, Lennon, Dea and Ellis to debut.
Or at least a few of the aforementioned get a gig. :thumbsup
-
Hunt is out with a knee so he'll have to be replaced too.
Reckon he will play
-
Rumor on another forum that Cory Ellis will debut this week, some said he was a fair way off AFL ready on this forum. Im confused , is he close or not ?
-
Kid can play but his condition and fitness would be the issue
-
Reckon he is good chance this week along with Foley
Would think Ellis if he plays is likely to be the sub or get subbed out early
-

Dimma says Chaplin will return to face Cats. Newman & Grimes available, Vickery a chance but no Deledio.

After 24 disposals & 11 clearances in VFL last weekend, Richmond's Corey Ellis is ready for AFL debut. Classy left-footer. Pick 12.

He was fantastic last Saturday and deserves his spot if he is selected. I loved the way he played :thumbsup
