Some sore tired bodies after that one.
Cotch copped a whack on the ankle from the goalpost but he believes it's just a corky.
Fire away with your changes, if any?

In: Townsend

Same for me. I like Higgins and he’ll be a great player but young players will be inconsistent and I thought our forward press was lacking today. We really missed a presence like Townsend’s in the forward line whether he’s playing well or not.
I thought Conca and Graham were average but could probably let them try and play into some form until Rioli is ready and the side needs to be reshuffled.

Was Houli a turnover king or was that my imagination?

McIntosh had a shocker. Menadue deserves a game on the wing

Agree. Thought this a few weeks back. McIntosh needs a spell and we need to give someone else a crack on the wing.
Only issue is Menadue had a pretty poor game kicking wise in the VFL.
-

Yes he was.

I am still trying to work our why he was dropped, unless he is carrying a niggle.
The Fremantle back line will love having to come off a Derby knowing that Townsend is waiting.

While the Tigers escaped without injury, Hardwick predicted the five-day turnaround after playing on Anzac Day eve could soon catch up to his side, with Fremantle to come next Sunday at the MCG.
"I reckon next week is where we'll start to see the damage from the encounter, so to speak. We've had two really tough games so we'll nurse our boys through," Hardwick said.

Personsally, I think we'll pull up ok against the Dockers and the game against n0rf is the one where it will catch up with us and we'll be flat as a tack. I'm sure n0rf have been marking that one out on their sunny role fixture for months :shh

I thought Higgins was superb again with 9 contested possessions as well as pressured very well too.
I thought Conca was poor and Macintosh Had a terrible game, whilst Martin and Prestia butchered the ball especially in the first half.
Id drop Macintosh amd Conca.

Menadue had shocker yesterday too - and both players like to kick it to nobody in particular so it would be like for like... :shh

BEliis? The bloke you know who was supposedly was so sore he couldn't play this weekend
But who like Townsend did the warm up with the team yesterday and didn't play VFL on Saturday because he was in in fact an emergency for yesterday's game?
That BEllis?
Please, he's been replaced by Short, thank goodness

Too sore to be risked in SATURDAY'S VFL game. :shh Pretty sure I did say he was on standby for Sunday as he'd had an extra day to recover. Townsend still would have played ahead of him unless little Shorty or Bachar pulled out for whatever reason.
Replaced by Short? :shh I am a big fan of both. How good would it be to have both at their best in the AFL side. :thumbsup
-
Stengle or Bolton to replace Higgins.
-
Townsend for Higgins.
-
Out Higgins, Grigg (rested),
In Townsend, B Ellis,

I’m not sure why many want to drop Higgins
I thought his game was very good from such a youngster in his second game.
I don’t get it, what did he do wrong?
As I’ve said before I’d make a case to drop Macintosh and Conca but I don’t think Higgins did much wrong in the games he’s played.
-
I'd also like to know why people saying he should be dropped. I wasnt able to see most of the game yet.
-
Wow, get on the Dockers for this one for some value.
Paying up to $5.80 head to head.
That is insane. This will be our third game in 13 days. We won't know who might be too sore to play until later in this week, but I'd be reckoning we might have a few changes.
Add to the fact that the Dockers have rolled us the last three times they have played us at the MCG, and this looks a value bet.
-

I thought he was very solid. He’s very young but he’s fearless and he can certainly win his own ball.
He’s a very good tackler too and we already can see he knows where the goals are.

Tigers champion in doubt to face Dockers

TRENT Cotchin is in doubt for Richmond's clash with Fremantle this Sunday after a desperate goal-saving lunge against Collingwood resulted in a sore knee.
The Tigers' captain appeared to cannon his right knee into the goal post when he slid in to stop Magpie Tom Phillips – who was laying on his back next to the post – from kicking what would have been a remarkable goal late in the fourth quarter.
Scans cleared the Tigers' captain of structural damage on Monday.
Cotchin wants to play against the Dockers, but whether he lines up will be determined by how he feels when he gets moving this week.
"He feels a lot better today than he did yesterday," Richmond football manager Neil Balme told AFL.com.au on Tuesday.
"We're not quite sure how he'll go. There's some chance he could miss this week but he's relatively confident now, so we'll see how he goes."
Cotchin limped out the remaining five minutes of the Tigers' win over the Pies after the incident but appeared very sore in the game's immediate aftermath.
The Tigers expect to know before they name their squad on Thursday night if he'll be fit to play.
Meanwhile, Nick Vlastuin and Josh Caddy are expected to be available after successfully returning from injury against the Magpies.
Both missed the Tigers' Anzac Day Eve win over Melbourne – Vlastuin with a calf and Caddy with hamstring soreness – but have pulled up fine from Sunday.
This week's game will be the Tigers' third in 13 days, which has presented them with the extended challenge of maintaining the balance between recovery and training.
Coach Damien Hardwick acknowledged on Sunday that this week would be where they'd start to see some accumulated soreness emerge.
Balme said the players would be managed individually over the next few days before ramping things up on Friday.
"They're not too bad. They'll be a little bit lighter earlier in the week and they'll do some work later on," he said.
"Fortunately, it's a Sunday game so we'll be able to do some work later in the week.
"A fair bit of it is individually driven, they'll either back them off or put a bit of work into them, depending on how they feel."

In the Mix - Round 7

RICHMOND
Get them in: Brandon Ellis and Jacob Townsend were squeezed out of the side last week. Neither played VFL and could provide fresh legs with the Tigers set to play their third game in 13 days.
Under the pump: Kamdyn McIntosh was quiet possession-wise but spent time on the wing, effectively curtailing Jordan De Goey so might hold his spot. Reece Conca was also down on touches while Jack Higgins was the quietest of the small forwards.
Medical room: Trent Cotchin is in doubt with a tender knee and will be given the week to get up. There are sure to be others sore given the Tigers' recent fixture, so surprise omissions are possible.
Verdict: Ellis and Townsend to come in for Cotchin (if too sore) and Higgins. Ivan Soldo will be considered to help against Aaron Sandilands, but the Tigers have proven that winning the hit-outs isn't the be-all-and-end-all.

Isn't Miles Cotchins understudy? Or so it has been purported on the why can't Miles get a game?
Ergo if Cotch is out , Miles is in.

Come on mate, you can do better than that. You post that people shouldn't be negative on here and then pay out on a youngster that was injured for a poor game you did not even see!!!!
Yet if someone had a go about Bellis you'd be the first to defend him.
Just like umpiring, we need you to be consistent.

You know what, you are correct my friend. I don't think I paid out on him, just thought 4 disposals in the VFL was nowhere near what was required to be brought in. But I should have done my homework! The young fella only had the 4 touches but did try to play through an injury but was unable to do so successfully. Will commend him for pushing through an injury for a while there.
Apologies Oleg, hope you are right to play in the VFL this weekend ready to push for senior selection :thumbsup

Back on the topic.
Ellis and Townsend if dropped for form how can they be in contention without playing a vfl game seems odd to me.Menadue might have sprayed a few kicks last week was good tho, and Chol thought deserves at least to be in contention.
Lloyd was Lloyd last week in vfl not great selfish wanted all the glory.Were past him sorry rather CEllis.
Be nice to see Soldo(biggest improver) get a run and help Nank play bit more forward see how the team structure goes could add another dimension to our side but who comes out ?.
-
If Ellis would get dropped over form you would think Conca would be as well....
So that must mean the coaching staff must rate him.
See? THAT is how you use investigative skills.
-
Soldo, Lloyd and B Ellis named in the VFL team.

Looks like a lot of truth in the "Miles is Cotchin's" understudy theory.
