^^^^^ this
-
Guys- Pickett took Hill out of the game completely :shh
Houli can have a spell but it will never happen.
George continues to be average.
No change is my call...
-
I liked balance with Astbury taking time in the ruck, Broad was ok, liked it when they moved Balta up the ground as well.
Good team balance, no change I think
-
Pickett.
Didn’t touch the footy in the second half.
Still chooses not to tackle.
6 pressure acts (5th worse)
5 effective disposals.
79 metres gained on a wing!
0 inside 50s.
Needs to go
-
Was Pickett given the job on Hill ?.If not he goes for Markov.We need Markov run and carry.
-
Pickett won't be dropped going by what Hardwick said about him in the press conference... :shh
He also said Chol is being considered... :shh :shh
Markov for Houli but that won't happen either..... :shh :shh :shh
-
Out: Pickett, Broad
In: Caddy, Chol
-
Out Pickett, Houli
In Caddy, Markov
Won't happen tho
-
Houli?????
-
Dimma said post-game he is excited about Mabs and that Chol will come into consideration next week as a genuine second ruck.
-
George on thin ice for mine. Hardly had an impact on any game for a while now.
Caddy to come in. Need his bigger body and physicality against Port who play a more contested brand of footy.
-
Out Lynch, Cotchin (indichted for murder) in Levinworth Penitentiary.
-
The Power play with 2 traditional rucks and Ladhams pushes forward while Dixon and another tall up top to.Caddy is a risk for me his body breaken down just hasn't be right.Love Markov in another player who gives us flexibility and dash we been missing.Pickett goes for mine.
-
Chol in for somebody sounds like the only change Hardwick is even considering...and he probably won't even do that....so our on-ballers are going to have to do a lot of sharking at stoppages next week...speaking of which, I suspect the players most disappointed by Soldo's absence are Port's on-ballers given the silver service he provided them with all day last time...SPP in particular... :shh
-
Caddy, Ross or Markov for:
Pickett.
-
OUT - Broad
IN - Caddy
-
Believe Caddy should come in but at whose expense is the critical question.
-
The problem is Caddy body is not reliable this year for me.I like him up forward gives us class up there and takes a good player , but who to drop.In saying that was happy with our forward line last week with Bolton up there.
-
OUT - Broad
IN - Caddy
Torch, please educate me, we take out a running half back in Broad and put in a forward semi winger In Caddy, how would that work?

His phone auto corrected ‘Pickett’ to ‘Broad‘

Pickett drops out.
Caddy can play wing. He proved this in spades last finals series
He also adds more spice to our already hard edged reputation.
Players also with spice ie. Robinson were able to get into the heads of those less experienced to manage those emotions (Pickett) and we were found wanting without someone who could not only show some presence with some hard edged play but also provide the lip required to assist those less blessed with the required composure (thickius epidermis) to not only take it on the chin but give more back with some confident vitriol.
Caddy provides all of this. I would plonk him on a wing and let him flex not only the proverbial muscle but imposing himself on the contest including kicking the odd clutch goal something we saw in every final he played in last season (on a wing).

Simple we currently have 8 defenders in our 22 so we are already surplus in that area.
-
Not sure Caddy on wing will slow us down rather Markov.

Both teams appear more likely than unlikely to keep unchanged teams for the preliminary final.
TIGERS’ PREDICTED 22
B: David Astbury, Dylan Grimes, Noah Balta
HB: Liam Baker, Nick Vlastuin, Bachar Houli
C: Kamdyn McIntosh, Jack Graham, Marlion Pickett
HF: Shai Bolton, Jason Castagna, Dustin Martin
F: Tom Lynch, Jack Riewoldt, Daniel Rioli
FOLL: Toby Nankervis, Shane Edwards, Trent Cotchin
I/C: Dion Prestia, Jayden Short, Kane Lambert, Nathan Broad
The Tigers are likely to toy with the selection of Josh Caddy or Mabior Chol, to add another big target inside 50 and help in the ruck battle. At times, key defender David Astbury was thrown into the role against the Saints, with Nathan Broad also pinch-hitting. However, it does seem Hardwick has settled on a group of players he wants to take to the Grand Final.
POWER’S PREDICTED 22
B: Ryan Burton, Trent McKenzie, Dan Houston
HB: Hamish Hartlett, Tom Jonas, Darcy Byrne-Jones
C: Xavier Duursma, Ollie Wines, Karl Amon
HF: Zak Butters, Todd Marshall, Brad Ebert
F: Connor Rozee, Charlie Dixon, Robbie Gray
FOLL: Scott Lycett, Tom Rockliff, Travis Boak
I/C: Sam Powell-Pepper, Steven Motlop, Tom Clurey, Peter Ladhams
Port Adelaide has declared Xavier Duursma and Todd Marshall fit after the pair copped heavy knocks in the final against Geelong. If the Power make a change it is likely to be forced, with Marshall not doing contact training on Monday due to his shoulder niggle. Justin Westhoff or Mitch Georgiades would be the obvious replacement if he doesn’t get the final all clear.

Ruck dilemma for Tigers
By Peter Ryan
The Age
October 14, 2020 — 11.44am
Richmond may select Mabior Chol to help Toby Nankervis combat Port Adelaide's ruck duo Scott Lycett and Peter Ladhams in Friday's preliminary final at Adelaide Oval.
With Ivan Soldo out injured and Callum Coleman-Jones sent home in disgrace after breaching AFL protocols on the Gold Coast the Tigers are considering recalling Chol who was dropped to make way for Tom Lynch in the qualifying final.
The Tigers regretted not using him as the second ruckman in their loss to the Lions but were able to get by using defender David Astbury in the back-up role against St Kilda after the Saints lost ruckman Paddy Ryder to a hamstring injury.
However, Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said they were "less likely than more likely" to use Astbury as second ruck against Port Adelaide with the coach suggesting centre clearances would be a crucial factor in determining the result.
"A lot of [the game] is going to be off the back of centre bounce," Hardwick said.
"We know the significance of centre bounce at Adelaide Oval. It's a relatively easy ground to defend so territorial battles are going to be important."
Hardwick said Chol was developing well and he had great faith in his ability. Encouraged by his second half against the Lions after a below-par performance in the first half, Hardwick said he was confident Chol could perform as required with the Tigers thinking Nankervis would be more dynamic if given less game time.
"We will continue to invest in him ... he can do some things that other players can't," Hardwick said.
The Tigers marked out the Adelaide Oval dimensions to train at the Gold Coast on Wednesday as they look to win at a venue they have won at just three times in eight appearances since 2017.
Although they lost to Port Adelaide there in a hard-fought round 11 match they will be bolstered by the presence of Trent Cotchin, Shane Edwards, Dion Prestia, Bachar Houli, Jack Graham and David Astbury who did not play in that match.

“We do like the look a second ruck,” Hardwick said before his team’s main training session of the week at the oval adjacent to Metricon Stadium.
“It provides us with some back-up and allows ‘Nank’ (Toby Nankervis) to play less game time where he is more dynamic. So that is what we will weigh up.”
But Hardwick’s biggest hint came when he was quizzed on David Astbury’s responsibilities. The consistent defender played a minor but important pinch-hitting role in the ruck against the Saints, but a repeat is “probably less likely than more likely at this stage,” according to the two-time premiership coach.
“They are both 200cm, the Port Adelaide boys,” Hardwick continued.
“We were pretty happy with how Dave went about it. We are obviously going to lose the hit-outs in those situations. Around the ground we probably feel we get some benefit. Those situations and scenarios will be weighed up in match committee this afternoon.”

RICHMOND
B: Dylan Grimes, David Astbury, Noah Balta
HB: Bachar Houli, Nick Vlastuin, Jayden Short
C: Kamdyn McIntosh, Jack Graham, Marlion Pickett
HF: Shai Bolton, Tom Lynch, Dustin Martin
F: Jason Castagna, Jack Riewoldt, Daniel Rioli
Foll: Toby Nankervis, Trent Cotchin, Shane Edwards
I/C: Liam Baker, Dion Prestia, Kane Lambert, Nathan Broad
Emerg: Josh Caddy, Mabior Chol, Oleg Markov, Jake Aarts
No change
UNAVAILABLE: Ivan Soldo (knee), Sydney Stack (suspension), Callum Coleman-Jones (suspension)
NOTES: The side was a lot better balanced against St Kilda after the inclusions of Lynch and Broad, with the latter allowing Astbury and Balta to chop-out in the ruck when required. Without genuine seconds footy, it's difficult to see any players outside of the 22 forcing their way into a semi-final-winning side. A proven finals performer in Caddy waits in the wings if injury strikes a midfielder or forward.

Dwayne Russell on SEN just said the talk out of Richmond is Chol is coming back in. He presumes Broad makes way if that's the case. The alternative is one of Castagna, Pickett or Lambert makes way but he doesn't see that happening.
-
Structurely understand why they want to bring a tall 2nd ruck in but the risk playing Chol is if he has a bad one then we are effectively a player down as we saw the last two times he played. It going to be a highly contested game. We need all 22 selected going hard at the contest. Why I would bring Caddy in (not as a ruck though).
-
Chol, Aarts, Caddy & Markov are over in Adelaide with the 22 from last week.

Dwayne Russell wrong
Who’d have thought
