We could sort of excuse it early on but it's now starting to be the trend.
Although he has some pretty decent teaches down at the club.

When the going gets tough.......
-
Outs- Rioli, Menadue, Lloyd
Ins- Stengle, Markov, Lennon
Astbury to play forward.
-
Stengle in for any one of 5 players. Lloyd, Edwards, Rioli, Butler or Castagna. Don't care who.
Lennon in for any of the four that Stengle doesn't replace. And, Lennon gets told he has the next 5 games guaranteed to give him some confidence to have a crack.

Don't be soft, just say it
For me?
Lloyd out - Lennon in: enough is enough with Lloyd and it's time to reward Lennons good form and he can play the same "tall" role
Rioli out - Stengle in: Rioli somewhat stiff as none of the others contributed but just give him a run in the twos. Stengle just gets a run because why not, added benefit that he's displayed pretty good form too
Menadue lucky for this week as he was showing improvement past couple of weeks so hopefully this was a blip not him returning to true form. Castagna and Butler also lucky but they've outperformed Rioli as of late and we still need that pressure up forward.

OK I'd like to see

Bellis (see Menadue),
Houli (see BEllis & Menadue)
Castagna or Rioli (either one not both as bad as each other today)

Ill take it a step further and say some players in your outs are the same that avoid scrutiny by match committee week in week out. Its a cancer/rot as far as I'm concerned and only until we cut it and not band aid it can we move forward and be confident that the team will go out and not shirk contests, not hear footsteps and every player be on the same page mentally.
They are the weakness, and it is time to go
-
Townsend is playing solid and has changed his style to be more composed with ball in hand. Personally would not mine seeing him in the seniors before the end of year. One last look before final judgment.
Markov Astbury Grimes
Ellis Rance McIntosh
Grigg Cotchin Menadue
Rioli Lennon Edwards
Short Riewoldt Chol
Nankervis Martin Prestia
Bolton Caddy Lambert Townsend

Was so disappointed with Menadue yesterday.
Counted 3 times when he pulled up to avoid contact... thought he turned the corner the last few weeks bur took a massive leap backwards yesterday.
Bellis, well it was always a case of when not if
I've defend Houli in the past but there's no way in all honesty I can defend what I saw yesterday
The one I left out was Grigg..has a few credits in the bank this season so he survives. But he was the epitome of the "Nowhere man" yesterday... was very ordinary

The others? meh Im used to it sadly

I've been pretty vocal on those 3 for years. Granted all 3 have been ok over the last month but as sure as night follows day, they will let you down at important times and in important games.
Nothing surer!
All 3 are Dimma's favourites so unless he goes, expect to keep seeing the same thing.
We will make the finals this year but take it to the bank those 3 will let us down.

My take was win yesterday and we were a lock
Lose and my gut feeling was and now is we'll struggle to make it

Nar, I reckon we will still make it.
Is Vlastuin likely to come straight back in this week?
Excluding our top 4 I think he is the next most important to our side. And it's one less "Menadue" type in our 22.

Was told today he is definitely available to play this week.
Suppose it comes down to whether they bring him straight without a run in the VFL
Think we have to risk it.
Agree he is bloody important. He has one thing so many of our blokes don't and that's composure. He rarely panics

Dimma's not one to play senior players in the twos after injuries. So if he is right to go he plays against Carlton this week. :pray
-
Out should be Butler before any player..
-
Think Vlastuin needs to come back through the seconds. People have short memories, he has been horrid this year and has looked completely lost.

Not when playing down back....

Which was probably not even a full games worth all year
-
Castagna. Hopeless. Averages about 6 efficient disposals a game. hardly made a tackle the last few weeks. Woeful kick, poo set shot for goal.
Gets to where the ball ain't.

He is the one that should make way for Stengel. Lennon for Lloyd. Markov for Butler. Vlaustin for Menadue.

Castagna does a lot of things right one being getting to the right spots. Unfortunately his kicking for goals from set shots is extremely poor and until this is rectified he should not be played in the seniors.
-
Out Lloyd. He was poor against the Swans and gave two goals way because of mistakes he made. He also missed a shot at goal that he should have got. Out Menadue. In Vlas and Lennon. Grigg was very poor against the Swans. He deserves to be dropped but won't be.

"Richmond defender Kamdyn McIntosh (hamstring tightness) and ruckman Toby Nankervis (corked calf) will be closely monitored this week after they each picked up niggles against Sydney."
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-06-19/injury-wrap-hamstrings-claim-important-cats-cockatoo-selwood
This could make selection very interesting if Nank doesn't come up. Anybody know how hes tracking ? Anybody care to guess what the plan would be if he is not good to go?

The Barometer - Round 14
Herald-Sun
19 June 2017
RICHMOND
ON THE BLOCK: No injuries out of the clash with Sydney but a few players struggled to have an impact, namely small forward pair Dan Butler (four disposals) and Daniel Rioli (eight disposals). Rioli did lay seven tackles while Butler had 23 pressure acts but the Tigers need goals out of them.
ON THE CUSP: Midfielder Anthony Miles continues to display solid VFL, gathering 28 disposals and eight marks against Geelong on Saturday. Fellow onballer Jacob Townsend also impressed with 22 disposals and six tackles while Steven Morris had 20 disposals, nine marks and booted four goals as a small forward. Ben Lennon kicked 2.5. Nick Vlastuin is a chance to return.
CHRIS CAVANAGH’S FORECAST: A disappointing result for Richmond against Sydney on Saturday, giving up a 36-point lead to lose by nine points. The Tigers’ small and mobile forward line looked electric early in the match but the side lacked forward marking targets as the game wore on and managed just three second-half goals. Archrival Carlton awaits on Sunday for the second time this season. Richmond recorded a 43-point win when the sides met in Round 1 but the Blues have been building nicely, this a huge challenge for a Tigers side that needs wins to hold on to its top-eight spot.

In the Mix - Round 14

Nick Vlastuin was close to returning from a shoulder injury in round 13 and appears very likely to play at some level this week after missing six weeks. He will need to pass a fitness test this week.
Midfielder Anthony Miles keeps finding the ball at VFL level and has had 35, 34 and 32 possessions in his past three matches.
It is not the midfield that is of most concern, however, with the small forwards who have served the club so well this season going quiet offensively against Sydney. If change is needed then Ben Lennon (16 goals from his past six VFL games) is the best option. Steve Morris also booted four goals at the weekend as a small forward.

-
Markov (HBF) replaces Ellis (Wing) replaces Rioli
Lennon replaces Lloyd
Miles replaces Butler
-
Out: Lloyd, Castagna, Butler, Short
In Lennon, Soldo, Batchelor, Miles
Play Astbury forward Batchelor down back.
Carlton dont have much of a forward line
-
Lennon yes, Miles maybe but Soldo is injured and Batchelor will likely be delisted at year's end.......plus you've just got rid of three quick players players and replaced them with slugs......yeah that'll work....
-
out...lloyd (never to be seen again) menadue butler
in.... lennon stengle miles
-
Ok you genuises, can anyone tell me why we kick high marking balls instead of low shooting stab passes to our short stocked forward line?
-
I like how so many apparently think the key to beating Carlton is to make the side slower....
-
I think we will lose to the scum no matter who does or doesn't come into the team. I'm predicting 3 more losses.
-
Maric is in the mix according to Hardwick..... :whistle
Also Stengle is a possibility to debut.

I'd plonk Maric in the goal square, with little blokes at his feet and the odd chop out in the ruck
-
Wouldn't be worse than Griff and Elton as you know he'll compete. Might get lucky against some young defenders and out body them but he's not the answer against a decent side
-
Yep, I would play the big russian....
-
From the VFL report:
Ivan Maric Eight disposals, 30 hitouts, three clearances, two tackles. Our warrior in the ruck. Provided a cool head, and stuck up for the boys when it got testing.

Won't happen. The little guys up front are 20 year olds or younger. They have hardly any preseasons under their belts and find it hard to run out games. Their GPS data is through the roof too so they run themselves ragged and need a tall to take a few marks and give them a break.

Yep agree, was actually staggered when I saw those numbers. Ditto with the inside 50 turnover figures, knew wed improved but didn't realise how much

I think you two are forgetting the importance of structure
-
Hardwick listed Ben Lennon, Oleg Markov, Ivan Maric and Anthony Miles as the players in the selection mix for the game against the Blues.
Miles (32 disposals) continues to play consistent football in the VFL and will be under strong consideration, according to Hardwick.
"There'll probably be a couple of changes," Hardwick said.
"We've got some guys not playing to their highest level in the AFL at the moment, so we'll look at that more closely on Friday."
------------------------------------------------
Dustin Martin has been hampered by a lower back issue and Hardwick said the club would continue to manage the second-favourite for the Brownlow accordingly.
"I don't think many players are 100 per cent fit at the moment," Hardwick said.
"Dustin went in to the game, like a lot of other players, a little bit sore, but he played OK without playing to the usual standard we expect.
"But he'll be better this week and he's had a good week on the track thus far. He'll train today and hopefully we'll get a better result for both him and the team this week."
