5 Changes is always risky but ...
-
Nice little rest for nank, would have kept Towner in - think he’ll be important come finals time. Rough for Lloyd to be dropped after a decent game last week but can’t argue with the ins :thumbsup
-
Reckon we could've afforded to give Prestia, Houli, Graham & Broad another week off.. Only Gold Coast FFS.
Soldo's a dud :shh

Soldo's a dud. :shh
Presti needs games into him, as does Graham
-
We also need them not injuring themselves again just a month out from finals because they came back too early to play a shytetruck side our VFL side could probably beat easily. :shh
-
Need to be cautious with Nank. Hope Soldo plays okay. Agree with putting in a strong team against Suns. Need to build momentum.
-
It is only the Suns but the record of teams winning after 5 changes isn’t that good...
-
5 Changes and win by 100 points and we scare the pants of the opposition.
:thumbsup

strong side. prestia and graham are both massive ins. completely change our midfield dynamic
-
Anyone else thing Lloyd was a bit stiff. Thought he was just about in our top 10 last week.
-
I'm not concerned that we have 5 changes. The suns have 6 fwiw
We will do enough to win this
-
It’s does seem a bit stupid to play Houli after half a VFL game, Graham who has been out for 4 or 5 with a shoulder and Prestia after the year he has had with his body, especially against the Suns.
Play them all for a half in the VFL and then another full week on the track and look to the Bombers
game.
We also drop Townsend and don’t replace him with a midsized forward after not being able to take a mark in our forwardline last week.
-
By their standards, the Suns have some reasonable ins this week.
-
Dimma on the Footy Show said at this time of the year you're putting things together for September and as a result some players are stiff to be left out of the side (specifically mentioned Towner and Lloyd).
-
Time to start to settle the premiership defense 22, they will have the next three week block to knuckle down and get into rhythm as the group. Perfect game for Nank to get a bit of a rest, but not the others. LLoyd, Townsend etc will not play in the grand final unless injuries happen.
The big question you should be asking yourselves is, How does Butler get back into the side, WHO goes out for him, that is a big, big question. Also, what happens to Conca, and if he comes in, WHO goes out, or does he stay out and miss another opportunity.
Big questions will be asked and answered at match committee in the next three weeks.

Depends on where Higgins plays. With Prestia and Graham back in the midfield and Baker dropped, then presumably Higgo will play forward this week as the 3rd small forward behind Rioli and George. That could see him pushed out when Butler returns. If Dimma wants to keep Higgo then he'll have to push a mid/flanker out as will Conca (to get back inside the side). Arguably, with Macca who's been in and out of the side this year, all three are vying for one spot in the 22 in September. It may come down to match-ups as they are all different types.

Should the Tigers rest players against the Suns?
By SEN
10 Aug 2018
Former AFL club captains Tim Watson and Garry Lyon disagree about whether Richmond should rest players in tomorrow’s game against Gold Coast.
The Tigers have boosted their squad for the clash, bringing back premiership players Dion Prestia, Bachar Houli, Nathan Broad and Jack Graham.
However, with another September run looming for Richmond, Watson has pondered if Damien Hardwick should consider resting some sore bodies against the lowly Suns.
“They should be resting blokes,” Watson told SEN Breakfast.
“I think they should. These blokes have played every game for Richmond this year – Jack Riewoldt, Shane Edwards, Jayden Short, Alex Rance and Kane Lambert.
“Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin have only missed one game.
“Their best players have actually played (nearly) every game this year.
“They need a spell before the finals.”
Lyon believes that strategy is far too risky.
“It’s dangerous,” he said.
“They thrive on the work. Don’t start flirting with your form three weeks out.
“They’re going to have a week off in three weeks. You want to give them two weeks off in three weeks?
“It’s a danger about interrupting and upsetting the way they’ve had such great success over the last two years.”

Tigers not taking risks with 'sore' Toby

RICHMOND has downplayed any significant injury concerns surrounding Toby Nankervis, with the Tigers taking the opportunity to manage the star ruckman appropriately ahead of Saturday's clash with Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium.
Nankervis has a corked quad and pulled up sore after last Friday night's clash against Geelong. Young big man Ivan Soldo gets the chance to come into the team after solid form in the VFL.
Tigers assistant coach Justin Leppitsch said the club was making sure Nankervis's body was in top shape heading into September.
"Toby was a bit sore coming off the game so you obviously don't want to take any risks this time of year," Leppitsch said at Melbourne Airport on Friday morning.
"If it was a Grand Final tomorrow, would he play? Probably yes, but we just think how important he is to us.
"He's probably the only one that we would afford that luxury to."
The Tigers have brought back premiership stars Dion Prestia (rib), Nathan Broad (calf), Jack Graham (shoulder) and Bachar Houli (calf) for the game against the Suns.
Emerging forward Dan Rioli checked in for the flight to the Gold Coast despite carrying a right knee concern.
"He's fine. He's pulled up with a little niggle after the game, but he's right to go," Leppitsch said.
Jacob Townsend was Richmond's travelling emergency.
