Sheds out :(
Grimes back from concussion.
Fire away :help.

What happened to Sheds? Is it bad?
Out:
Edwards
Ross
In:
Grimes
CCJ
I would play Rioli on the wing opposite KMac. Bolton and Dusty rotate mid/forward. Aarts, George and Baker small forwards. Pickett inside mid.
Nank needs a backup. Pickett not cutting it for me.

INS: Grimes, Stack, Ralphsmith
OUTS: Edwards, Ross, Naish

Our young mids aren’t ready yet, they’re Ok but don’t have that natural poise under pressure or nous that comes with experience.
It’s a bare cupboard when all are injured.
That said, without pressure we look ordinary no matter who’s playing mid.
-
Cantstandya, Ross, Broad, Mansell all proven to not be AFL standard tonight. Naish we already knew about. Pee those pretenders off please

I think your a bit harsh on Broad and Mansell.

Any leading forward in the VFL

Outs: Edwards. Ross. Castagna.
Ins: Grimes. Dow. CCJ
Nank needs help so Castagna loses his spot as he’s been woeful for two weeks.
Ross hasn’t given as much as i would have expected starting to lose patience with him.
We need to find some mid replacements.

Two bad games for a guy with runs on the board is rough.
Ross on the other hand has been crap since his debut season. Bye Felicia! Put on weight and go inside after the bye. If that doesn't work I'd move him on.

Broad not AFL standard???
Short memory
-
George could do with a spell in the seconds. Been poor this year in my book.
Grimes in will be huge- we missed him tonight.
If Edwards misses not sure how we cover. Play CCJ and play Pickett full time mid?
Bolton was unbelievable tonight but sadly was on him own.
-
How many dropped marks that resulted in Geelong goals in our defensive 50?

Apart from Bolton and Nank every player was way down. Astbury got shown a new one time and time again to the point it was comical.
Did Jack even play tonight? Didn't see him or George near the ball all night.
Shocking game by us.

I agree with you on Ross. But don’t you think Nank needs assistance?
We need someone to make way. Castagna’s kick ootf when we had clear open space and a certain goal might have killed Geelong dead.
He just doesn’t think before he does anything and his skill is not up to standard.
Good on him for his career but we could do better. Hopefully MRJ is
Anyway he deserves to be dropped this week.

I counted 7.

Wow... only one poster so far has called for Cantkickit to be dropped...wtf? :propeller
-
OUT: Cantkickit, Edwards, Mansell
In: Grimes, CCJ/Chol/Miller, Dow
Stack in for Naish as sub.
Aarts will be saved by his second quarter despite the fact he was his usual useless self for the other three quarters. :shh
Ross saved because Edwards is out, Martyn is even worse and that's pretty much all the midfield depth we have... :help
-
Cantstandya, Ross, Broad, Mansell all proven to not be AFL standard tonight. Naish we already knew about. Pee those pretenders off please
Broad?? ::)
Agree he had a poor game but to say not AFL standard........
Manuel was pretty good still he copped the knock and way too early to make that call on him, remember Short early days. I’d say he’s ahead of him.
-
Out Edwards, Castagna, Mansell
In Grimes, Coleman Jones, Caddy (if fit)
Aarts, Ross count themselves lucky. The Ross turnover in the 3rd the turning point in the match. Just not AFL standard awareness
-
Ross was ok in the first half.... :shh
Caddy doesn't tackle, will only make us slower and he gives away dumb frees...three of the very last things we need.... :shh :shh
-
Get CCJ in been in good form we played that system with Soldo shake up the forward line to something has to change.Our dmall forwards besides Bolton aren't great at all to inconsistent.
-
Caddy back into the forward line as a lead up, 3 small forwards has stopped working
-
Wow... only one poster so far has called for Cantkickit to be dropped...wtf? :propeller
Been a toss up between the three small forwards all year. Reckon in recent games Aarts has been the best of the three and Castagna the worst. Rioli well its Rioli same old same old.
-
Ralphsmith looking at a debut this week.Grimes In. Id also bring in CCJ and Stack and Id even debut Maurice Rioli Jnr. Id do that as well.
-
Hope Grimes is in. Stack, CCJ and Ralphsmith should be in the mix to come in.
-
Out Edwards, Bolton, Castagna
In Grimes, CCJ, Caddy

We're getting so many injuries they'll soon be asking supporters to volunteer to play :P. Any OERites want to put their hand up? :laugh:
Out: Bolton (inj), Edwards (inj), Castagna, Mansell*.

Might miss Dreamtime too.

Not saying I have the answers but that is a very big speed change
-
I think we will need to give Naish a full game now. It will be a good chance to see how he stands up. Also time to look at Coleman Jones. Clearly we are now under pressure and will drop games. However, the flip side is we will finally sample some younger talent. In times like this we should salivate the young players coming through. That's all we can do. Bringing in Caddy is worthless. Love him but we should move on.

Sorry but he is just too outside for me to put it nicely.

To clarify, are you making a suggestion about the firmness of a specific appendage?

Hmm changes for the week.
CC-J - Reasoning is Nankervis needs a decent chop out and it has become laughable playing Pickett in the ruck. JR and TL could also do with another tall option in the fwd half to take away some of the attention both are copping from multiple defenders every week. It such an obvious thing that needs to happen you really do need to ask what the hell are they the match committee thinking.
The one alternative would possibly be and its a big reach is play Miller as a kpd freeing Balta up to play kpf. God help us if our kpd's start falling over like the mids. No one to come in with no games to their names. If injuries in this area happen later in the season then at least we have had a look at Miller and given him a taste. If he doesnt work out as a kpd in the game then we can throw him fwd and bring balta back.
I just think it is time to 1 make a statement and 2 look at as many younger options as possible while we are in this situation.
Hugo Ralphsmith to a wing or to the fwd line. Him on a wing gives us a 188cm quick skilful goal kicking mid who can go fwd if need be. When forward well he has shown he has the instincts of a genuine fwd make him the hunter and give him a license to kick goals if we play him there.
It also allows us to play Pickett on ball.
Grimes well he is a no brainer. Id like us to play him loose down back give him the role on any fwd who runs hot if need be including smalls.
Reluctant to drop Mansell but now that Vlastuin and Grimes are back his spot has to go to a running back Atm that option is Short but i reckon he's on short notice pardon the pun.
Would put any of the three small fwds on notice. Castagna's last few weeks have been deplorable fit or not id like to see Stack play and failing that give the hard nut Cumberland a crack.
Last with Bolton out i reckon someone like Dow should come in for him get some freakin games into him depending on injury and amount of games hes played this year..
The entire midfield bar one ot two is injured we are not winning this game so lets make a statement to all the under performers we can.
Its a bit radical but i would not mind seeing the following.
b/ Vlastuin - Miller - Grimes. It almost a the g/f team bar Miller.
hb/ Broad - Astbury - Short/Mansell. Shame we could not combine the two but we need the run and rebound so went with Short on notice.
C/ Ralphsmith - Pickett - McIntosh. probably the best midfield group we have left including the wingman Ralphsmith.
R/ Nankervis - Martin - Graham
HF/ Baker - Balta - Riewoldt. Jacks job is to roam taking defenders with him. Baker has looked great forward of centre when there.
F / Stack - Lynch - Dow/Cumberland. If fit prefer Dow atm but i reckon Cumberland would be an upgrade on Castagna. Dow gives us a rotation and Stack cannot be any worse than the smalls we play here every week. Balta changes the entire scope of the fwd half. He has been a bit quite down back anyway its worth a try with all the injuries we have atm.
Int/ Ross - CC-J - RC-D - Houli. Houli because he needs to stand up and show his experience and lead from the front. young team needs experienced leaders. Wont happen but get down and get dirty Bachar.
Ins CC-J- Dow - Miller -Ralphsmith - Stack - Grimes
Out Bolton inj- Edwards inj- Aarts - Castagna - Rioli - Mansell
-
Out: Bolton, Edwards, Mansell, Castagna
In: Stack, CCJ, Grimes, MRJ
Doubt the Castagna for MRJ one happens. Also wouldnt surprise me if it’s Martyn and/or Hugo rather than stack and CJ.
We just need to scrape 1 win from the next 2 against the giants and lions. After that we would have played all of the top 9 teams other than ourselves and the eagles. Our draw opens up in a big way after that and it should coincide with getting some players back.
-
Wouldn't be surprised to see us bring in Caddy and Stack for Bolton and Edwards, pushing Ross inside. We need some bigger, experienced bodies around the contest for a couple of weeks.
-
Not sure what is going on with Caddy and question his fitness as he would have been lucky to play 1 game in the past 6 weeks including VFL

Yeah, he played against Casey, then missed one and then we had the bye. He's not listed as injured...with Dimma talking about us getting outmuscled, I'd take that as a hint that we aren't bringing in too many skinny kids. Not sure that Stack is ready for 120mins but might be a good sub.
Out: Bolton, Edwards, Mansell
In: Grimes, Stack, Caddy
-
I agree, Caddy rotating through the midfield and forward line makes sense to me, just don’t play him on the speedsters
-
Caddy is next to useless in the midfield, it'll be a bit hard not playing him on faster players because nearly everyone is faster than him these days and -again- he doesn't tackle... :shh

Richmond could debut Hugo Ralphsmith this weekend against GWS while Patrick Naish, who has been the medical sub in recent weeks, plus Will Martyn (one game) and Thomson Dow (two games) are all in the mix.

In the Mix: Round 9

RICHMOND
There will be at least two forced changes yet again for Richmond, losing classy duo Shane Edwards (ankle) and Shai Bolton (wrist). The former has at least a month on the sidelines, while Bolton will be out for the next 2-3 weeks after an incident at a nightclub. Dylan Grimes (concussion) should be right for Saturday night's match against GWS, but the key back isn't exactly a straight swap for either midfielder. With Liam Baker already spending considerable time forward, Rhyan Mansell could be the unlucky defensive exclusion. Patrick Naish has now played two games as a sub and is a chance to fill Edwards' spot, while Will Martyn and Hugo Ralphsmith have been in good form in the VFL before last weekend's bye.
Verdict: Edwards, Bolton and Mansell out for Naish, Ralphsmith and Grimes.

I certainly don't have the answers but the real problem seems to me to be that not only are Edwards and Bolton quick they are very good at clearance work. Who helps Dustin out now? If you played Pickett as an inside mid it would allow us to bring in CJ as the second ruck. Another problem is we are now very inexperienced in the middle. Perhaps the club sees Caddy as the solution to that problem. On another note it would be good to bring in Hugo and give him some experience at AFL level.

In a case of unfortunate timing, Richmond's VFL side had a bye over the weekend, but who are the possible replacements?
Patrick Naish
Has played the past two games as a substitute, and impressed with his pace and attack on the footy with his very limited minutes. Much more commonly found on the outside than at centre bounces, and could fill Pickett's stints on the wing, allowing the latter to spend more time in the middle.
Will Martyn
If the Tigers are looking for an inside midfielder, then Martyn's probably the answer. Recorded 17 touches against Werribee in his last VFL game, so is in decent form, but looked a tad overawed in his high-pressure AFL debut against Port Adelaide earlier this year.
Thomson Dow
Impressed in his handful of AFL matches last year, but only returned to the VFL on May 1 after missing a month with appendicitis. May need more footy under his belt before the step back up to AFL level, but is tough as nails and good in the packs.
Hugo Ralphsmith
The versatile Ralphsmith is yet to debut but has been in strong form in the VFL. More often found on the flanks or on the wing than as a pure midfielder.
Josh Caddy
The most experienced of the players in the mix, Caddy last played on April 24 in the VFL. He missed the Tigers’ next state-league match with general soreness, but is now available for selection. Has rarely been seen at centre bounces in his time at Tigerland, generally lining up either in attack or on the wing. Caddy played in the AFL side from rounds one to four.
Sydney Stack
Still building match fitness after being stuck in Western Australia until March, but when fit, he'll add the attacking flair that will be lacking without Edwards and Bolton.

I like Dow and Ralphsmith.CCJ has to come in perfect game for him against gws Nank was out worked last week by cats by there rucks that was great coaching by Dimma needs to realise Pickett isn't the solution.

RICHMOND should regain triple premiership defender Dylan Grimes but will have to make at least two forced changes for its match against the Giants this Saturday night.
Gun midfielders Shane Edwards (ankle) and Shai Bolton (wrist) will miss, leaving some gaps in the midfield.
Patrick Naish looms as a strong option after two straight weeks as the Tigers’ medical sub and good form in the VFL, averaging 27 disposals per outing.
Hugo Ralphsmith has been in the verge of senior selection for some weeks, while Will Martyn has already had a taste of AFL action after debuting against Port Adelaide in Round 4.
Dual premiership player Josh Caddy will also likely be considered, but hasn’t played a full game since his 16-disposal outing for the Tigers’ VFL side on April 24.

Knowing Hardwick my money is on Caddy who hasnt played for three weeks whos papers should be stamped.

At least two changes according to Dimma today. Grimes in along with Ralphsmith.
