It appears we got through Thursday night unscathed.
Fire away with your changes, if any? ....
-
Hunt - out
Short, Miles or Markov- In
Lloyd
Bellis
Griffiths
KMac
On serious notice.
If you're not getting the ball you have to tackle.
-
Hunt, Houli: out
Miles, Lennon: in
-
I think I've missed something- how is Markov not in the side??
Or even Short for that matter.
Both showed last year that we had found a couple of real good kids. Both tough, both quick and exciting and both can kick it well.
I have said this before, if we are going to be able to compete against the good sides we need to change our personal as we know what the Houlis, Hunts and Griggs will give us.
Playing Griffiths just because he is tall is just plain stupid. He is horribly out of form and we should put everyone on notice that unless you are preforming you will be dropped to the two to regain some form. Play Chol and see if he is up to it.
Outs- Houli, Hunt, Griffiths, BEllis
Ins- Markov, Short, Chol, CEllis
-
Lloyd was poor and could make way for Lennon. Players i don't really like Hunt, Houli and Ellis played an important role and will continue but they should be replaced Markov, Short and C. Ellis at some stage this year.

Get rid of Hunt Houli hatred etc etc
Wait till we lose a game
Get rid of half the team

Don't hate any Tigers players and acknowledge they played a good role and if continued they will continue but i would prefer Markov, Short, Menadue and C. Ellis in the team as i think they have brighter futures.
-
Many a time have we stated that player X isn't the answer in a role, but how many times have we then been able to name 3-4 young players who we can all see are going to be better? It might not happen this week, but it will happen this year ...
Cellis, Markov, Short, Chol .... :cheers

Jack you are ignoring the small fact that they are both poo trucks.
And nearing the ends of there careers (Houli turning 29 shortly). Hunt coming out of contract.
And that we have younger players who can play better and have huge potential upside.
And that they both struggle with a modern game plan. Hunt just 1 kick Thursday night and 0 tackles. Houli I won't even bother.
In fact, If you have a valid point again please clarify because I'm struggling To find the common sense in it.
-
As I said, no-one will be dropped after a win - and Houli will never be dropped under Halfstep...hell, the idiots just gave him a two-year extension....
Collingwood will apply far more defensive pressure than Carlton did (which wouldn't be too hard), have a far better midfield than Carlton and probably won't let Martin roam free - they'll smash us if we play like we did on Thursday night...

Hunt played on Pickett and kept him to 5 disposals at 60% 0 goals, 2CP and 3UP. Hunt did his job and shut this highly rated junior out of the game which assisted us winning the game. Can we upgrade in the near future...yes but if he is doing the job he stays for now.

Great post
Hunt and Houli did there job
Everyone can't be Dustin Martins either
And there are reasons why Markov .C Ellis Lennon and co don't get picked

Was one of the first "list management" decisions they made in the off-season....think it was just before Balme arrived, though I could be wrong.....

i think your'e right there.

I watched the second half of the vfl only so from what I saw I wouldn't promote Short. Elton was hopeless and dropped marks.
From the little I seen of Bolton he looks a class above. Didn't see much of Markov. Lennon looked disinterested to me. Soldo was better than Maric. Drummond looks good. Menadue, Lambert and Townsend all looked vfl as did Batchelor.
But the one player that stood out more than any other with his obvious class way and above anyone else on the ground.......C. Ellis.
I'd change Hunt for C. Ellis.
-
Kept a first gamer quiet. :clapping
Yes a former pick 4 but if you drill down deeper you would recognize he beat his direct opponent. This :gobdrop is why Hunt is playing as he does his job and the more Tigers who beat their direct opponents on the night the better chance we have of winning the game

Just because you win doesn't necessarily mean everything is "rosey"Jack.
If we are to get better we need to replace some of your favourites in Houli, Grigg and Hunt. It nothing personal against those guys but they are simply not going to take us any further than what they already have imo.
They are the sort of players that will get you to about 8th or 9th if we are lucky.
Grigg did play ok the other night but it's not his good games we are all worrried about, it's his normal games when he doesn't really have a crack and when his kicking is below AFL standard. And he is the best out of that lot.
Surely you can see the advantages when we play kids like Rioli, George and Butler?
The game has changed Jack and we need quick, attacking players to be able to compete. Those 3 are plodders and the quicker we move on from them the better.
Id like to know why you like them so much?
Would you be that unhappy to see
Markov replace Houli
Short replace Hunt
C Ellis replace Grigg
All 3 of those guys we should be getting games into rather than playing your 3. It's about looking to the future to be able to improve.
-
Yes
I agree with Markov
But his form at present isn't flash
C Ellis the same
Short is still a question mark for me
Ordinary pre season
-
Mustn't be training well....
-
Mustn't be training well....
They all are at present
No changes next week
-
No shyte - Halfstep never makes changes after wins unless it's a kid making way for an established player returning from injury.
-
Won't be any changes unless there is a injury during the week
-
It's hard to justify a change unless someone was rope able and some one was A plus without an injury or suspension out. I doubt we'll see any changes maybe one to no 22 on the list but probably not.
-
Miles has to come in for someone.
Collingwood absolutely smashed the bulldogs in clearances and we only just got over Carlton on the same area.
Grundy is fast becoming an exceptional ruckman and unfortunatley I feel he'll dominate the Center bounces over Nankervis as he did against the bulldogs rucks.
We need Miles to try and get first use of the football as much as possible imo
-
Miles, Markov, Laaaaambert I wouldn't mind coming in. Lennon is a lemon, do not want. Loyd had a dirty one but still managed a goal, he will come good imo, not one of the usual suspects. Hunt is a fuckup, Markov for Hunt.

Who was it a couple years back that Jackstar was adamant was a dud because he couldn't get a kick a quarter or something? Funny how the goal posts shift because he likes said player. I had no idea he had 0 tackles aswell :gobdrop
-
Think it was Dea
-
Ah yeah, how I'd love for Dea to be on the list over Hunt
-

At lease Dea didnt play scared

thinking there wont be any changes but Llyold and hunt will be on notice big time
llyold I see as player who will have a good game 1 in every what 4-5 can we carry him for those other matches lennon is the obvious one to swap for..
hunt will no doubt get fasolo this week god help us he has been on his last legs for the past season and a half markov if anyone.
other then that think we will be right
-
Hunt was by far our worst player. Thankfully he only kicked the ball once.
I'd bring Miles and C. Ellis in for a upgrade on Houli & Hunt ( these blokes emergency depth at best )
Out of all the youngsters at vfl this kid MUST be given game time in the seniors.
-
Hunt should get Fasolo this week
Lloyd will need a good game

Short memory
No doubt someone will correct me if I am wrong but didn't Hunt play on Dangerfield last year and held him for 3 quarters ?
-
Does anyone from vfl deserve selection ? Anyone go to the game ?
-
Fasolo will cream Hunt.
Watch for the same old excuses.

A think Conca will go to Fas

Who was on Fasolo last year when he kicked 6 ??

Hunt's work rate and defensive efforts are fine. Issues arise when he goes anywhere near the footy.
-
Who was on Fasolo last year when he kicked 6 ??
Dylan Grimes ??
-

Grimes went off injured. Cant remember exactly when but it was first half sometime. Didn't play again until round 8.

Correct
You have a good memory
-
Pretty sure it was Vlaustin
As 5 of the 6 were second half goals
I remember Grimes went to him in the first Quarter than Grimes went off injured leg
-
I think Morris had him for a quarter or two
-
Out hunt houli
In short miles
Vlastuin back to the backline
-
I think Morris had him for a quarter or two
Steve didn't play round 2 by memory
Reckon he played that week in the VFL
-
Muddying the waters.
-
Would not be dropping Lloyd. Couple of major stuff-ups but clearly a dangerous player in the F50. Could have easily had 2-3 goals.
Out:
HUNT!!!
Houli
In - two of:
Markov
Short
Lennon
-
He'll likely be replaced the likes of Bolton & Stengle eventually but you can't drop Lloyd after one shocker, unlike some others, he's at least earnt some credits...
-

Pretty sure he went head to head most of the night with Martin/some of our other midfielders. Hunt was in the backline

"In other Tribunal news, first-year Tiger Shai Bolton has received a one-game VFL suspension for striking Northern Blues' Tom Williamson in last Thursday's VFL practice match.
Bolton can play in the next two VFL practice games and miss Round 1 of the VFL home and away season."
does that mean he cant be selected for the seniors for another 3 weeks???
-
sdc01, the Herald-Sun says Bolton could be out until round 6 because of the anomalies between the VFL & AFL fixtures :P.
-----------------------------------------------------------
ON THE BLOCK: With no injuries from the Tigers’ 43-point win over Carlton to add to an already small list of unavailable players, the only fresh concerns are draft picks Shai Bolton and Jack Graham. Bolton was reported at VFL level and his case is expected to be heard on Monday. A suspension could sideline the small forward until Round 6 because of fixture anomalies. Graham was on target to return from a hamstring in the VFL but fell on his ankle in a training drill and suffered a fractured tibia, which will keep him out for at least eight weeks. He has been placed on the long-term injury. In better news Steve Morris will make his comeback from a knee reconstruction in the VFL this weekend.
ON THE CUSP: Don’t expect many changes after an impressive Round 1 showing. The addition of Dion Prestia and Josh Caddy has presented Damien Hardwick with enviable rotations and freedom for Trent Cotchin and Dustin Martin.
LEO SCHLINK’S FORECAST: Richmond returns on Thursday night to the MCG - scene of three of its four opening matches - to face Collingwood, aware Nathan Buckley’s men will be seething after the close call with the Bulldogs. If the Tigers repeat the free-flowing, attacking football they showed against Carlton, they’ll win more than they lose. As ever, consistency is key for Richmond - to say nothing of the highly influential Martin.

-
Won't be any changes unless there is a injury during the week
Agree. Whilst I would like Miles to be brought into the side at the expense of ElliB I very much doubt that will happen.
-
I would say Hunt for Short or Miles a no brainer.

Who's in the mix for round two?
Nathan Schmook
AFL.com.au

If there was a weak spot in Richmond's 43-point win over Carlton it was the backline, conceding 14 goals to an inexperienced Blues' attack.
This is also where the Tigers' depth is, with Jayden Short (16 games in 2016) available and in good touch in a VFL practice match on Thursday.
Oleg Markov and Nathan Drummond are also options as versatile defenders, but Short would be the first player called on as a replacement for Taylor Hunt, who would be the defender most under pressure if a change is made.
In attack, Sam Lloyd had an off night and the match committee could consider bringing in Ben Lennon, who was lively and kicked three goals in Thursday's VFL curtain raiser, if it decides an immediate change is needed against Collingwood.
Midfielder Anthony Miles was surprisingly overlooked in round one, but it's hard to see a midfield vacancy for him to take at the moment.

-
I would like to see Lennon come in. Maybe for Lloyd.
-
I would say Hunt for Short or Miles a no brainer.
I'd say Hunt for anyone
-
Lloyd kicked 35 goals last year, he is not going anywhere after one quiet game
-
After a win no more than two changes but the back line needs a re-adjustment.
Short in for Hunt at back pocket.
Drummond in for Houli and plays half back.
Vlastuin to go to half back and McIntosh to the wing.
Conca played okay and replaces Ellis on the other wing.
Unlikely to happen but Miles for Ellis to cover the midfield loss of Vlastuin and Lambert for Lloyd, maybe Stengle but it's unlikely.
-
Stengle's a rookie and would need to be elevated. We still have two spots with Graham & Hamspud on the LTI but we always seem to be reluctant to elevate more than one rookie until late in the year for whatever reason.
-
Prestia in doubt tomorrow night?
Left the ground gingerly last Thursday night in the latter part of the last qtr and put the jacket on.
Didn't run around today, can ill afford to lose him against Collingwood considering their clearance and contested ball numbers last week
-

He didn't train much last week either

Well surely he can't play if he doesn't train well....

Recruit Dion Prestia shapes as a key player for the Tigers, but he was on light duties at training on Wednesday, completing no running in the 30-minute captain's run.
