 Just hoping for the best  :lol
- 
				Out:  RIOLI (had enough) NAISH (not good enough). RALPHSMITH (needs more time in the reserves) 
 
 Ins: Bolton (apparently ok).
 Coleman-Jones or Chol (whoever deserves it more)

 Stack forward to replace Rioli.
 Caddy can play medium forward/midfield.
 Mansell back to replace Houli.
 Miller back to replace Astbury. No ruck duties.
 Dow mid to replace Ross
 CCJ to play forward/ruck.
 
 Pickett relieved of ruck to play wing/mid (his report will be thrown out like the poo it is).
- 
				Dimma said we will get a minimum of two of our A-graders and maybe four back next week. 
 
 Cotch and Prestia are definites.

 Coleman-Jones or Chol (whoever deserves it more)

 Seeing that Dimma confirmed Cotchin and Prestia definite returns and  Bolton and Edwards a wait till training I reckon we can pencil them all in.

- 
				With the midfield “coming back”, is there another role RCD could play, he is a good size, don’t know how fast he is??
			
- 
				If Rioli, Castagna and Houli all keep their spots but RCD goes out..... >:(

				is pickett going to get rubbed out?
 
 From seeing it on the TV I would say no. It was high but it defiantly wasn't striking. That said, we are the Tigers so you never know what sort of deal you will get.

 He needs to stay in the midfield mostly but I would consider him as a medium forward too, as claw has suggested.
- 
				I think Ben Miller should play next week. Give Astbury a rest.

 I agree. There’s no way that could be anything but a fine. Starcevich could be in trouble for staging though.

				CCJ and Caddy deserve a game on form

				Pickett is out 
 
 MRO has given him a week

 It's not worth a week but he was always going to go.... It's a Richmond thing you know

 What a joke. I think they need to look up the definition of striking if they are giving that a week let alone the fact he was on the receiving end of the exact same thing a minute earlier which didn’t even result in a free kick let alone a report. In saying that if this forces dimmas hand into playing a second ruck then we may have a position outcome from a negative event.

 I'd keep Castagna and drop Rioli
 
 Some of his "efforts" chasing on Saturday night (not picked up on the TV) were pathetic, not existent
 
 I've had enough of those "efforts"
- 
				It is a must win game against the Crows so if Cotchin, Prestia and Bolton are fit I would bring them in. Caddy and CCJ hopefully are being considered. I think an eye for the future needs to be maintained and therefore games put into RCD and Ralphsmith. Stack is also pressing for selection and hopefully is in the mix.

 Although it looks like Pickett might get off IMO.
 
 In which case, drop Houli. Cotchin rotate HBF with guys like Short, Baker, Vlastuin etc.

 Only Luke Beveridge who is cuter than Chris Scott at coaching tactics and player selection and look what happened to him when he made 5 changes for the game against us a month ago...
- 
				I think Ben Miller should play next week. Give Astbury a rest.
 
 I would love to see that as Astbury has been ordinary. Is Miller ready for a gig though?
- 
				Hmm it should be a no brainer that both Castagna and Rioli are dropped. My god they have been awful for weeks now.
 
 I dont see a spot for old panic pants Houli gets the ball but fmd he is horrid. Time to move on imo.
 Cant see Naish making it so so soft. Jack Ross also has struggled a fair bit time to send him back to the two's for a month and just get some continuity and confidence into him.
 
 Reckon all of Cotchin, Prestia, Edwards and Bolton will play and we just have to bite the bullet and give CC-J a run of games ffs.
 
 Its Simple Bolton for Rioli, Edwards for cantkickya, Prestia for Ross. Cotchin for Naish and i personally would do CCJ for old panic pants, it wont happen though they will probably drop Hugo for CCJ. I also hope they seriously look at Miller for Astbury.

 With this proposed team, I would use Lynch as a high forward with Jack in the true CHF position and CCJ FF when on the ground not playing ruck.
 Gives us options to move players around in the forward half to keep the oppo constantly rotating talls to get the right matchups.

 It’s not even a form thing. We’ve got 3 and potentially 4 of our top 10 players coming back. Only 1-3 additional changes based on form/suspension.

 Neither here nor there Look at the quality of the four who become available. they are so easily not top 22 but close  to top 10.
 Throw in the so obvious need for a second ruck/fwd who can chop out all of Lynch Jack and Nankervis and 5 changes is just common sense.
 
 Look at the utter shiteness of three who are being replaced and two kids who were always going to cop the chop when others returned and once again its just a bit of old fashioned common sense.

 How would you structure up Claw with CCJ ? and what tweaking would you make to the team to get us going.
 
 
 Hmm structure. The whole idea of bringing in  CCJ would be to 1/ give Nankervis a decent chop out so probably 30% ruck time mostly against their #2 ruckman. The other idea is to have him take some heat away from Jack and Tom so 30% Third tall and 20% With two rucks on the ground allowing Nankervis to play behind the ball.We have so many smalls and two mediums like RCD and Dusty who should be part of those rotations thru the forward half.
 
 Whats needed to get the team going well if you believe our ability to lock the ball into the fwd half is now compromised because of rule changes and a few other variables as i do  then we must improve our ability to get first hands on the ball c/p's and our ability to win clearances.
 Prestia, Bolton. Edwards and Cotchin significantly help in this regard. the other obvious thing needed is for us failing to win constant repeat entries we need to be efficient when we do go forward. Smart clever elusive SKILLFUL players like Bolton and Edwards sort of turns things around from Rioli and Castagna and CCJ helps the talls from being too heavily targeted.
 
 Not sure if this is what you wanted as an answer.

				Team Tips: 
 The Tigers could have a bounty of additions with Shai Bolton (wrist), Trent Cotchin (hamstring), Shane Edwards (ankle) and Dion Prestia (calf) all in the mix to return. While Damien Hardwick might not want to rush back them all, Bolton seems most likely to be a certain starter. Jack Ross (11 disposals) and Hugo Ralphsmith (eight disposals) might be two players pushed out by the big-named inclusions, while Marlion Pickett heads to the tribunal to clear his name after a one-week ban. Callum Coleman-Jones slotted four goals in the VFL and is pressing to play in the No.2 ruck role.

 Potential Inclusions
 
 “Hopefully (there are) some inclusions this week, we have got Trent Cotchin, Dion Prestia and Shai Bolton potentially returning to the side.
 
 "We have got two training sessions to get through this week. Once the boys have completed those two sessions and (if) everyone is happy, then we would expect those inclusions to the team.”

 RICHMOND
 
 Richmond is in line to make a number of welcome changes, dependent on three players recovering from injury – Trent Cotchin, Dion Prestia and Shai Bolton – getting through training this week. Shane Edwards is still at least a week away. Hugo Ralphsmith was quiet in his second game as the Tigers were well-beaten by Brisbane, while Patrick Naish has picked up a minor hamstring complaint. After a few good weeks, Jack Graham was relatively subdued against the Lions, while Jack Ross has been on the fringes. Marlion Pickett will be challenging his one-match ban at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night.
 
 Verdict: If all goes to plan on the injury front, Cotchin, Prestia and Bolton for Naish, Ralphsmith and one of Graham or Pickett, Tribunal-dependent.

 Jack Graham out?
 
 Pluuzeeee
- 
				Lynch in for scans today. Has clearly been carrying an injury for much of the year IMO. Might see him rested this week.

				Out: Naish, Pickett, Lynch, Ross, Rioli.
 In: Prestia, Bolton, Cotchin, CCJ, Stack.

				Lynch in for scans today. Has clearly been carrying an injury for much of the year IMO. Might see him rested this week.
 
 
 Be a good chance to show off CCJ to his new club ;D
- 
				In: Cotch, Prestia, Bolton, CCJ, Chol.
 
 Out: Ross, Ralphsmith, Naish, Pickett (susp.), Lynch (knee).
 
 
 IMO we needed a second ruck/extra tall even with Lynch playing. Now Tom is out I would bring in two talls. CCJ & Chol can rotate between ruck and forward as they do in our VFL side. When not up forward they can provide a chop out for Nank and more importantly provide a down the line marking target to improve our connection from defence to mids to our forwards.
 
 
 In: Cotch, Prestia, Bolton, CCJ.
 
 Out: Ross, Ralphsmith, Naish, Pickett (susp.)
 
 
 + stack in for Rioli
 
 Stack isn't fit enough yet IMV.
 
- 
				Stack isn't fit enough yet IMV.
 
 
 I'd bring him in as sub. He can play forward, back or on a wing.
 
 
 
 Edit: Fixed quoting
- 
				Out: Pickett, Lynch, Naish, Ross, Ralphsmith
 
 In: CJ, Caddy, Cotch, Bolton, Prestia
 
 I’d also drop Rioli for stack but doubt that happens now.
- 
				Balme strongly hinted that Callum Coleman-Jones would come in to replace Lynch, among a few changes.
 
 “There will be quite a few (inclusions)… We’ve been keen to give Coleman-Jones a chance, he’s a ruckman and a forward. Mabior Chol has been at the club a few years and it’s now or never for him in a sense, but he is a super talented kid and Callum is really exciting as well. They’re the bigger blokes who are likely to come in.”
 
 “There’ll be a few changes. Patrick Naish is probably going to miss because he hurt his hamstring.
 
 “There will be quite a few differences. Trent Cotchin, we’re confident he’ll play, Shane Edwards maybe-maybe not, Dion Prestia virtually a certainty as well and so is Shai Bolton I think.”

- 
				Coleman-Jones, Caddy, Chol, Martyn, Dow & Maurice Rioli jnr haven't been named in our VFL side this week. 
 
 Whereas Ross has been dropped to the ressies team.
 
- 
				so he should.
 
 Ross he is a dud and should never play another game for us again. Too slow and too weak for our game style IMO
 
 
- 
				Im sticking to me guns and asking for the two kpf and second ruck/fwd structure lots of outs for me.
 
 Out - Pickett suspended. Lynch inj. Naish inj. Ross omit, Houli omit. Rioli omit. Castagna omit. 7 out only two would really be missed Marlion and Tom.
 
 IN Cavalry arrived - Bolton. Cotchin. Edwards. Prestia. Dow, CCJ. Chol.  7 in  4  were going to happen no matter what and with Lynch gone at least one tall was going to play. The only real change is the extra tall and the inclusion of Dow over spuds like Castagna and Rioli.
 
 Team to go like this
 
 Broad - Astbury - Grimes
 Vlastuin - Balta - Short
 
 McIntosh - Cotchin - Ralphsmith
 
 Bolton - Riewoldt - Edwards
 Aarts - CCJ - Chol
 
 Graham - RCD - Baker - Dow.
 
 Another way to look at it is there are 5 who have not been a part of best 22 but you would like em to and you really want to give em a go. RCD, CCJ, Dow, Chol, Hugo R. They replace out of the regular best 22 Castagna, Rioli, Houli, Ross, Naish It really is an improvement based on what they have dished up this year.
- 
				Claw, Edwards is still a week or two away from coming back.

 Balmy said maybe maybe not. Im hoping!!!  :pray  If not it probably means i have to pick Houli because there is absolutely no way id be picking either Rioli or Castagna atm.
