Three Tiger Dreamtime changes

Richmond has regained the services of talented young pair Daniel Rioli and Corey Ellis for Saturday night’s ‘Dreamtime at the ‘G’ encounter with Essendon.

Rioli missed last Saturday night’s victory over Fremantle at Domain Stadium because of a family illness, while Ellis was rested due to general soreness.

See how Essendon will line up for Saturday night's Dreamtime at the 'G clash

Key defender David Astbury also has been recalled to the Tigers’ line-up.  Astbury was a casualty of the team’s Round 6 loss to Port Adelaide after playing the first six games of the season.

The three players that go out of the side are experienced defender Troy Chaplin, who has a hip injury, while Connor Menadue and Jayden Short have both been omitted.

Richmond’s three emergencies for Friday night’s match are Menadue, Short and Oleg Markov.

Wasn't that long ago when Astbury prior to injury was in the view of most judges leading our B & F. You surely cant lose that ability, just a bit slower to return to that level than he should but I still believe he is more upside than Chaplin. Also think he would be worth giving a go up the other end, came to the club as a forward and he can take a grab, couldn't do too much worst than Vickery at the minute. Its a bit outside of the square for the RFC but really given our situation its certainly not the worst time to be trying things.

What a poo side. Looks like the usual suspects will have to carry the rest again.
Fair dinkum win/lose or draw there is nothing apart from one or two to look forward to.

How the stuff does the big pea heart get another game. he should kick 10 essendon have no tall defenders bar one whos played a handful of games.Is this dimwits plan? play him against a non existent opposition and maybe he can find some touch. Who can blame me for asking it.

What a great opportunity it could have been to give C Moore a game and McBean what the hell is there to lose.Surely if Dimwit is right and we are a good side we could play the reserves and still win this.HHHHHHHaaaaaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Maybe we could play a guy that has played forward for the last 3 years in our 2's and kicked a heap of goals in a pretty ordinary side before we try a guy that doesn't look like he could get a kick playing for Scoresby.
If they decide AGAIN he is not a backman, let him try and kick a decent amount of goals in the 2's before playing him forward in our 1's just because some had him leading our B&F 5 years ago.

Not really sure why they find the need to play both Astbury and Batchelor? I personally don't think you can play both in the same backline. Both too one dimensional.
I'd prefer another running player in the side- Menadue or Short. Or even Castagna for another crack at it.
Not sure what they see in T. Hunt either.

The logic is Richmond losing increases the chance of RFC winning a  flag

As it's increase te likely hood of getting a less rubbish coach

Yes Astbury needs to give a huge performance & grasp the chances that he is quickly running out.

l'm very happy with the In's & out's.  Menudue was showing cracks in his braveness. Chaplin just out of sorts (Injury is a cover) Someone had to make way for C. Ellis & Rioli so this week the selectors have done well & there is no excuses why this side can't win by 100 points

Not really  ;D

Take the Nahas goal out the equation  (yep it was awful but I'm looking at an entire career) and still think Chaplin offers more than Astbury

Time has caught up woth Chaplin no doubt not that he was ever quick but reckon he is faster than Astbury. And certainly has more footy smarts, Astbury appears to have zero smarts, he the perfect example of momentum killer

Astbury maybe slow but he is hard to beat one on one unlike Chaplin. Astbury in his good season beat Brown and Cloke(at this prime). Chaplin has never claimed a big name. That mistake against Nahas effectively cost us the game. It was made by one of the most senior players in the team and is the ultimate example of how to lose a game for your side

only a seriously good tosser would consider him to be a worthy afl player....

Chaplin isnt great but is (has been) definitely a better player than Astbury and was part of one of the best defensive units in the comp last year...jump up and down as much as u like but facts are facts

the point regarding this weeks team is that considering our opponent, Broad should have been included ahead of Astbury...McBean ahead of Vickery...but that is another matter
Title: Re: Official Tiger Team -v- Essendon Rd 10
Post by: eliminator on May 27, 2016, 04:40:07 PM
there are definite question marks over Astbury and if he does not improve he will be traded or delisted. Will have to agree to disagree about Chaplin being a better player than Astbury. The facts do not support your contention. Rance and Grimes principally made our defence last year. Furthermore as other posters have already alluded to there is a real possibility this maybe a futile argument as both may be gone by season's end.

Jack Riewoldt had a light training session on Friday but Edwards suggested the key forward would be right to face the Bombers.

"He's fine. He's probably just carrying on a little bit," he said.
