Fire away ... :help

I will be ok if Naish comes in for Higgens.
-
INS: Townsend, Naish, Collier-Dawkins
OUTS: Higgins, Garthwaite, Bolton
If Lambert is fit hr comes instead of RCD
-
Outs- Garthwaite, Soldo, Bellis, Houli, Butler- enough of these softies
Ins- Rioli, Townsend, Lambert, CCJ, Naish
It’s not about blokes having a poor game, it’s about blokes that bring our intensity down with their effort.

Out
Gathwaite
Broad
Higgins
Ellis
In
Rioli
Lambert if ready. If not Townsend
CCJ
Menadue
We should develop Balta as our CHB for the remainder of the year. CCJ playing second ruck/forward.
-
Outs:
Broad (worst game and has played maybe 1 passable game all year - don’t know why he hardly gets criticism on here he’s been terrible all year)
Higgins (second year blues? Too much dinky business and no penetration - 0 disposals 3rd qtr)
Lynch (such a useless waste of money and talent when he refuses to play properly, very lazy game)
Butler (go back and try again)
Ins:
Naish (deserves a run)
Townsend (will attack the footy and smash the packs).
Lambert (back from injury)
Chol (Surely can’t do worse than what Lynch gave us tonight)

Seen enough of Menadue- the last thing we need is another soft, weak, one way runner that lacks tenacity and dislikes body contact.
VFL standard at best.

Lambert's run will go a long way if he can get up.
I've never been a fan of Broad. I'm always nervous when he has ball in hand. It's a shame with Rance out he's basically a lock.
I think Higgins could use a rest. He hasn't snagged one in a while and I think it's the case of 2nd year blues. Unleash Naish!

We all have our opinions but I disagree. Graham is the other who could come in...at least he sticks tackles!

What do you like about Menadue, Machine?
I like his running ability, he does run both ways. His decision making and kicking is in out top bracket. He has a great understanding of our game plan and I still see upside.
I agree he is not the hardest player but we need balance in the team and ones who have pace and are clean.
IMO should be played every week before some others who have already peaked.

If only Pickett was fit.... :shh
Out: Higgins, Butjer, Soldo
In: Townsend, Rioli, Chol
Garthwaite is on a steep learning curve and really needs Rance out there but we don't have much choice atm....he;ll be better for it next year hopefully taking over from Astbury...I 'd actually like to see Hardwick swing him & Astbury around with Balta around during matches though to mix things up...both can & have played forward.... :shh :shh
Would also like to see Bolton on ball and swapping with Edwards off half back... :shh :shh :shh
-
BTW - If all you people calling for Naish to come in thought our defensive efforts tonight were woeful....well let's just say young Paddy's inclusion wouldn't improve us one iota in that department... :shh
...and RCD barely touches it at VFL level - tip toes around the packs like Tambling and spreads like frozen cooking butter...still confident that he'll eventually be a serious player but right now still miles off it... :shh :shh
-
get Towner in FFS.
Higgins is cooked time for a long spell.
-
Vlastuin getting a suspension will save Garthwaite for another week.
-
Butler should get another week imo, no point coming in for just one.
however with bolton, butler, baker, higgins and castagna I think we have too many lights bodies.
Bring in townsend or graham if fit for higgins, let him find some good form in the 2's.

After watching the reserves.
CCJ instead of Chol.
After watching Chol today it looks as though he gives up when he isn’t in a position to win the contest.
Absolutely unacceptable behaviour
Graham instead of Townsend (turns it over too much).
Lambert if fit.
Naish deserves a run. Or Menadue in for extra pace.
Rioli was poor so he doesn’t get a recall.

Floss got the all clear

Just read that. Good news

So tired of watching Broad stuff it up week in and week out. Surely we can swap him out with something more competitive like an angry looking witches hat.

Watched Rioli today in VFL
He won’t be playing AFL next week that’s for sure
Did nothing
Chol has 3 possessions and was hopeless , played his good game for the year last week
Pat Naish was a standout , has to play next week
Townsend and Graham were very good as was Menadue
CCJ poor

RICHMOND
Time for a look at Patrick Naish? The Tigers midfield will bounce back against Geelong after being smashed by North Melbourne but whether it is enough to beat the Cats remains to be seen.
What is obvious is that father-son Naish is tearing the VFL to shreds. Naish has kicked eight goals this year off a wing, his latest performance clearly his best.
He kicked two goals to go with 25 possessions, but also had a season-high 12 contested possessions and 143 ranking points, not far off Round 6’s 147 points.
Daniel Rioli’s one-goal, 13-possession game saw him amass only 42 rankings points, likely not enough for him to earn a recall.
The Tigers take on an elite Geelong defence knowing it will be a tough day at the office for Tom Lynch, who needs more help from Josh Caddy and Noah Balta if the Tigers are to kick a winning score.

can see one or both of towner and graham being back for this game.
Higgins must make way

Rewarding good performance means townsend graham and naish all come in.

Correct 👍

Out for me goes: Soldo, Higgins, Bolton, Broad
In comes: CCJ, Lambert, Graham, Naish
Nothing against Soldo but better off getting games into CCJ as he will come on and be a better option long term
Higgins needs a spell
Bolton just not getting enough of it and should be played up higher
Broad has been pretty poor last few weeks.
Cats are due for a loss so we should go into this game with confidence at the G.

I agree Bolton hasn’t done much the last few weeks but IMO we should persist with him a bit longer. His upside is huge! Get games into him and he will be worth it.
Rioli has been given many chances of the past 3 years when his form was down, but he was and should have been given a bit of latitude as his best is in front of him and everyone can see that.
Sure, we lost in the weekend but before that we were going really well considering the injuries we have and the kids we have playing.
IMO persist with the kids we know will make us a better side in years to come.
Bolton, Rioli, George, Higgins, Baker, Balta, Stack- these kids are our future.

naish wii definately debut this week

In the Mix - Round 12

RICHMOND
Get them in: Father-son selection Patrick Naish is banging down the door for a debut, named Richmond's best in the VFL after a 28-disposal, two-goal effort, although his defensive work still needs development. Jack Graham (24, 10 tackles) continues to peg away, while Category B rookie Derek Eggmolesse-Smith is stringing some strong games together in defence. Small forward Daniel Rioli had 12 touches and seven tackles after his omission.
Under the pump: Dan Butler was relatively quiet on his return to AFL (six touches) but bobbed up to kick two goals. Dylan Grimes had an extremely rare off night but is one of the first Tigers picked every week, while Shai Bolton (10 disposals, one tackle) struggled at times.
Medical room: Midfielder Kane Lambert is at least another week, if not two, off with Achilles tendonitis.
Verdict: After being beaten comprehensively around the ball, Graham is an attractive proposition to come in for one of the smalls, with Bolton's low tackle count possibly putting him in the frame for omission.

Interesting
No Astbury today
Balta trained with defence 🤔

SEN Whispers - Richmond v Geelong
Gary Ablett slots straight back in for the Cats after his suspension. Gary Rohan was very quiet against the Swans, though James Parsons could be the unlucky one to miss out.
Rhys Stanley will likely also return in place of Zac Smith if he’s ready for action after an adductor strain.
As for the Tigers, Dan Butler and Shai Bolton were quiet in the loss to North Melbourne, while Daniel Rioli, Patrick Naish and Jack Graham are all pushing for selection.

No Astbury

Oh man is astbury carrying something more serious that we don’t know about?

Key defender David Astbury and wingman Brandon Ellis have both been ruled out of Friday night's MCG clash against top-of-the-ladder Geelong.
Speaking to the media this morning, senior coach Damien Hardwick confirmed the two had pulled up sore from last weekend's match against North Melbourne.
He said they were both likely to miss just one week, with Astbury suffering a minor hamstring injury and Ellis a minor groin injury.
"This time of year, the fatigue factor starts to set in and bodies start to break down a bit," Hardwick said.
"We're hoping at this stage it's just the one week."
After training "incredibly well" this week, Hardwick said Daniel Rioli, who played VFL last weekend, would be considered for selection.
"What we were probably after was his workrate to get back to what we knew, and he's started to work his way back into that," Hardwick said.
"We know (high pressure) is what his best game looks like. Every now and then, players, whilst they perform, they don't quite perform to the level of expectation we have of them or they have of themselves.
"So, Daniel went back and rediscovered that part of his game. And we know when he's at his very best it certainly helps our football side win a lot of games.
"We're glad he recaptured that last week so he'll certainly come into consideration for selection tonight."

Richmond has suffered an injury blow ahead of tomorrow night's clash against Geelong with David Astbury and Brandon Ellis to miss, but Daniel Rioli is a chance to return.
Tigers' coach Damien Hardwick said today Astbury and Ellis had failed to shake off soreness after last week's loss to North Melbourne and would miss the battle against the ladder-leading Cats at the MCG.
But Hardwick was hopeful Astbury (sore hamstring) and Ellis (sore groin) would miss only the one week.
"Dave Astbury and Brandon Ellis won't play, they are out injured,'' Hardwick said.
"They are probably just one weeks at this stage. They got a little bit sore throughout the game and just haven't quite come up.
"This time of year the fatigue factor starts to set in and bodies start to break down a little bit, so we are hoping at this stage that it is just the one week."
The pair are among three to four changes that Hardwick flagged from the team that suffered a 37-point loss to the Kangaroos last week.
Hardwick said Rioli would be in the selection miss to return after his spell in the VFL last week.
"His performance at VFL level, it was OK, what we were probably after was his work rate to get back to what we knew and he started to work his way back into that,'' Hardwick said.
"He trained incredibly well this week, but once again he will be a guy that we will certainly consider for this week's game against the Cats.
"Every now and then players, whilst they perform, they don't quite perform to the level of expectation that we have of them or they have of themselves.
"So Daniel went back and rediscovered that part of his game. We know when he's at his very best it certainly helps our football side win a lot of games so we're glad he recaptured that last so he will certainly come into consideration for selection tonight."
The loss of Astbury is a blow ahead of a match-up against the Cats' in-form big forward Tom Hawkins, but Hardwick backed young Ryan Garthwaite to take on the task.
"Young Garthwaite has played on him before and did a really good job on him so we are confident that he'll be able to do the job again,'' Hardwick.
"A lot of it is based around, if he gets clean ball inside 50m he is going to be hard to stop. We know most sides if you put pressure on the ball it makes the defenders job a little bit easier so we will be certainly looking to get that part of our game back because it was not to the level that we liked last week."

Going to be interesting the selection.
I think we missed having Vlastin in defense last week but if we bring in Graham we can swing Floss back to take those intercepts he is so good at. Balta will have to go back too to cover Astbury.
Ins. Graham, Rioli, Naish
Outs. Astbury, Ellis, Higgins
But Im not normally good at guessing these things
-
Losing a KPP should mean we bring another one in ..... but who? Chol was poor in the ressies while CCJ didn't have any impact :-\. If we don't bring in another tall then Soldo will have to ruck alone if Balta is forced into defence.
Garth -> Hawkins
Balta -> Ratugolea
Grimes -> Rohan or Miers
Broad gets the one Grimes doesn't.
Stack on Ablett? Or do we move Floss back into defence?
-
Balta plays back this week
-
if Balta plays back then get ready for at least 3 free kicks against....
