Would've liked to have seen Naish instead of Menadud, Butler will replace Rioli , hope Aarts replaces Castagna, don't reckon RCD will play and still not quite ready in my book but won't mind if he does -wouldn't be surprised if he replaced Higgins in the guts...the naming of Slomo is always a worry...hope he doesn't replace Balta....  :shh

Average ins
I hope Garthwaite and Soldo don’t play. VFL standard players imo.

Vlastuin massive out

No Townsend even in the squad.
We basically have 8 (best 22) players out with injury and Townsend a premiership player from less than 2 years ago cannot get in a squad of 26.

So he is basically 34th or worse in line for a game at present. Wowee!

Garthwaite was fantastic against Williamstown. Needs to come in to cover Vlastuin. Butler will come in after kicking 3 for Rioli.

Not sure what other changes will be made although I'd love to see RCD get some game time as he is a dynamo for clearances but his tank still needs building up.....

I would have brought in Townsend for Ellis.... :shh

Is that the shortest half back line in the history of Richmond AFL/VFL?

Maybe only since the war?

Post by: Fluffy Tiger on May 10, 2019, 08:18:46 AM
We went Into last week's game with 1 less tall defender and it really was a mistake. That should mean we add a extra tall back in. So my changes reflect that.

In Astbury, Garthwaite and Butler.
Out Rioli, Vlastin and Menadue.

Hardwick confirmed David Astbury will return to the side to face Fremantle on Sunday after missing last week's loss to the Western Bulldogs with an ankle injury.

Fellow defender Ryan Garthwaite is also a confirmed inclusion with Nick Vlastuin (ankle) missing, while Riley Collier-Dawkins and Jake Aarts will have to wait until the final team is named before knowing if they will make their debuts.

"We're really excited about what he (Garthwaite) has to offer. He just hasn't had the consistency of AFL games in a continuum. He'll get the opportunity now to grab that role and make a good fist of it," Hardwick said.

Most likely there were two different threads with the teams posted at the same time and they were merged. Your post would've been a split second faster so you get credited as starting the now merged thread.

I split your original post out of the changes thread and created this one.

We always have a thread for official team selection so the discussion doesn't get lost

Balta is named in the starting 18 so I'm presuming he's staying in. Gives us two rucks too.

I'd guess the changes might be:

Out: Rioli (inj), Floss (inj), Castagna
In: Astbury, Garthwaite, Butler

Just the two forced changes.

Out: Nick Vlastuin (ankle), Daniel Rioli (quad cork/general soreness)

If only we went a similar taller side last week  :whistle.

Our long injury list has saved a few from being dropped.

Wasn’t it Lynch you were banging on about all week? At least 10 posts of BS.

Now it’s George’s fault Daniel got 35.

At least you are consistent.

Looking forward to next weeks “player in the gun” by Jackstar supported by your 6 year old daughter.

If we let Fyfe run around and get 40 then we lose.

Is Dimma stupid enough to let that happen?

It’s one thing to back our “process” but with Cotch out and Dusty out of form, it’s time to shut the oppositions best player down.

McIntosh a good match up?

He got 35 last year against us and guess what? They got pumped. They hate Fyfe and so I’d let him get all day long cause his teams mates won’t want to know. We’ve gotta stop their other dangerous smalls

Last year there wasn't the 666 rule and we were able to put a spare in defence so Fyfe (and Neale's) clearances didn't hurt us. We'd picked them off in D50 and then sliced through Freo with speed of ball movement on the rebound.

We were in awesome form this time last year. Still fresh from the afterglow of the premiership. If we had been in that form in September then we would've been back-to-back premiers. I fear tomorrow's game could get very ugly  :-\ given all our outs, lack of form of others, and if we don't bring a similar nose to the grindstone effort to when we beat Port away.

bt what makes you think McIntosh would be a good match up for fyfe. The bloke totally lacks an inside game and would have no idea on how to go about it.

He is big, strong and can tackle and is an AA pest... And has an AFL tank.
That’s all it takes.
Taggers are generally the guys that aren’t real good at footy but can run and scrag the good players.  :whistle

Fyfe’s problem is that he has hated by his teammates and they have no other options through the midfield. He is hated at the club.
