Out Caddy. 
In.  Astbury

Mcintosh very important to us right now and a reason we are hard to score against.

Aarts good last quarter saved him.

This ^^^^^

Though I thought Aarts was good the entire game apart from his set shot goal kicking

Caddy out, probably Astbury back I guess.

Rioli better but still not happy with him and nobody pushing him out.

Still not a huge fan of Higgins too but at least he puts his head over the ball.


Wouldn't play Astbury unless he is 100%.

Interesting point about Higgins. He is going under the radar because of his brain surgeries but hes not doing much in games.

With Astbury coming back are we too tall if Balta stays in the team?
Would love to see Balta remain in the team.
Not sure about the changes but boy do we have amazing depth!!

Balta has too stay in the side. The more he plays the better. It also gives us the option of looking at trading out an Astbury at the end of the season to get some more salary cap room.

Normally I would agree based on heights and weights, but the truth of our backline is that Grimes and Broad can play small very well. They are both extremely quick and agile. Balta is lightning too.

Title: Cotch and Astbury to Miss Giants Game
Post by: WilliamPowell on July 22, 2020, 06:13:46 PM
Ch10 news and RDC website confirming

Both Cotchin and Astbury to miss this week
Title: Re: Changes next week for Giants game?
Post by: The Machine on July 22, 2020, 06:37:47 PM
Well then for me it's either Stack or Markov to come in.

Ch7 said at training today Higgins had a sore foot while Rioli also looked sore moving around gingerly.

Astbury's knee has flared up which is why he's been ruled out.

RICHMOND won’t rush back skipper Trent Cotchin for Friday night’s Grand Final rematch against the GWS Giants.

Cotchin suffered a hamstring injury in his side’s gritty win over Melbourne in Round 5.

Speaking on SEN Breakfast on Wednesday, Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said Cotchin was “training well” but “won’t play this week”.

“The condensed fixture will make it interesting for him when he does play and how many games he does play,” Hardwick said.

“Obviously with the hamstring injury and the history he has it’s going to be a little bit of a challenge for us to manage that one. We’ll have a plan for him.”

The Tigers will be without dual premiership player Josh Caddy, who sustained a hamstring injury against North Melbourne, but key defender David Astbury is a good chance to return from a knee injury.

Hardwick mentioned that Sydney Stack had been impressing through the midfield at reserves level, while Thomson Dow and Riley Collier-Dawkins are players the club is keen to blood soon.

Stack in for Caddy.

If Rioli is playing sore then that may explain his quiet 2020 so far. If he misses then that's an opening for Dow to make his debut.

RCD to come in if Higgo's foot sees him miss.
