Dusty subbed off?
Hopper ankle? He did come back on to finish the game but is he okay?
Fire away with your changes?
-
IN: Pressure footy / Bone crunching effective tackling
OUT: soft limp footy / one armed tackling attempts
-
Hopdfully a few guys in the vfl put their hands up
-
Those in trouble:-
Broad - suspended (2-3 weeks)
M Rioli - 4 possessions 2 tackles no goals
Martin - ????
Bolton - Isn't really doing enough (1 goal as a small forward)
-
Broad out
Hugo in
-
I don’t even know what would constitute a good change anymore. Such wildly inconsistent performances within a 4 qtr period. Same as last season and the only difference with 2021 is that we can put on very big scores. Whatever changes they wanna make I guess :huh
-
Broad out
Hugo in
I like it.
We definitely need more speed as we looked slow as treacle in the second half.
As long as he brings pressure as well.
-
I just don't get the feeling that things are right. I feel they are very, very wrong.
Bring some kids in.

I tend to agree, didn’t even feel good at half time
-
Out: Broad
In: Cumberland
I wouldn't be doing anything drastic however our forward again still doesn't know what it's best combo is. This needs to be sorted out. Short forward was stupid, need his run and carry in back half. When Rioli went quiet we just bombed down the line and got destroyed. Pies will absolutely swallow this up. Short back to play in Broads role and I'd personally bring Cumberland in. Play Dusty in midfield rotation. I dare say Cumberland issue is what Dusty supposedly did today which was provide little forward pressure. Dusty is at his best when he is kicking the ball inside 50 or around the arc.
-
We don’t have anyone at the fall of the ball in our forward line. We struggle to lock the ball deep in our 50.we were very good at that during the premiership run. Need to find some quick, attacking smalls.

IN: Pressure footy / Bone crunching effective tackling
OUT: soft limp footy / one armed tackling attempts
Agree. Not sure Dusty, Cotch and Short are really the answer up forward. They just don't apply enough forward pressure for our game plan to work. We need at least 3 chase down forwards. Morris and Bolton being to only forwards that backs have to worry about being rushed by is not enough. Not sure what the answer is though as I not sure Cumberland offers that pressure either. Morris and Bolton aren't really nailing the tackles either and that's a worry.
Will be interesting at selection.
-
Need to see the VFL today to decide on the in
But OUT will be Broad
-
No Dr but you'd have to think Hopper won't play this week. Agree we need speed
-
I hope Cumberland plays really well. Even if his chasing and defensive pressure isn’t the best, his nouse and ability to read the play of the ball also puts pressure on opponents, just another number at the fall of the ball is so valuable
-
McIntosh was poor.
-
McIntosh was poor.
I get people hate this being said but played his role. His two running contest to contest is elite
He won't get dropped
-
I know I’ve been saying for a few seasons that wing is one of the few positions where skill wise we should look to upgrade. But until someone proves they can provide the 2way running that kmac does, he just has to stay in the side. Week enough defensively already without losing his gut running to get back and help out.
-
McIntosh was poor.

Agree I don't get the knock on Kmac
-
He also has a canny ability to win contests, either 50/50 or often outnumbered. Tall endurance runner who gets to contests and then often as not wins them. Both our wings are super competitive beasts.
-
Both Picket and Maca are hard workers and are under rated
-
The work rate of Pickett in the fourth quarter was outstanding. Mansell's goal, Ryan's goal and Lynch's goal all came about because of good work by Pickett.
-
McIntosh was poor.

Went at 38% DE.
Can’t be a wing version of Georgie.
-
Not sure who is out so just assuming Hopper Lynch & Dusty are playing.
Outs Broad (susp)
In Jack Ross
Played well on Sunday and did play across half back at times. If not him, Banks is the natural replacement. He played OK also.
Mansell was good as the sub but may be needed to shut down N Daicos. If that is the case, sub to be (no idea).
Biggy was terrific and could be a chance if we want more height
-
i didn't see many collingwood games last year. how good is nick daicos? like sidebottom 2018 you don't want to get free use of the ball good? would a mid/forward who is too skilled to get off the leash go well head to head against him (eg. bolton) or do we need an actual clamp down tagger on him?
-
Hopper, Dusty doubtful. Short & Broad out. Lynch right.
Source. RFC website
-
Yep atleast 3 forced changes this week. Would love to have gibcus back.
Expect the ins to be to Ross, Miller and one of sonesie, Ralphsmith or Cumberland
-
I expect Martin and Hopper to play. Hugo and Ross in but wouldn't be surprised to see Sonz in.
-
As mentioned in the training thread, Dusty and Lynch completed today's session.
-
Dustin Martin has not torn his hamstring and is a chance to play for Richmond on Friday night, but Jayden Short is definitely out and Jacob Hopper looks highly likely to miss the blockbuster clash with Collingwood at the MCG.

Then for me it's this.
Out:
Broad
Short
Hopper
In:
Sonsie
Cumberland (Dusty more midfield minutes to cover Hopper)
Miller (playing back/swing)

Agree with this but I reckon they’ll bring in Ross instead of Cumbo. Prefer Cumberland personally but Ross was BoG or close enough to it in the vfl on the weekend.
-
OUT: Broad, Short
IN: Ross, Sonsie
I think they will name Hopper and make the call just prior to the game. If he misses then Cumberland
-
Dont take any players into the game that arent close to full capacity, if that means resting Dusty and Hopper then so be it.
Outs
Broad, Short, Hopper, Dusty
Ins
Ross, Sonsie, Cumberland, Clarke/Miller
Will be interesting to see if they replace Broad with Miller or elect to bring in another runner(Clarke?)
edit: Just saw that Dusty trained yesterday albeit it was a light session, so perhaps he's fine to play but Hopper sounds doubtful
-
If Hopper is out we need a big ball winning, good tackling and clearance winning inside mid. Ross is not that player. He never has been.
To me it seems this week Cotchin gets a lot more mid time along with Dusty who can win contested ball and clearances.
Put Dusty one on one with DeGoey that would be intertesting.
-
Sonsie in the guts to replace Hooper very simple for me.Get pace in Clarke.
-
I was hoping Ralphsmith would've stood out a bit more than what I saw in the VFL, the only player that really stood out to me was Biggie so maybe we can try him out as 2nd Ruck? His field kicking looked pretty good too. Sonsie and Ross were the most effective onballers, so they deserve senior selection if required
-
our injuries are mirroring our performance. That win just masks our issues from what i can see.
How many tackles were laid, pressure acts?
I cant believe we head into games relying on f50 pressure from junior and thats it.
Pies will destroy us by at least 6 goals if we match those statistics.

AFL teams Round 3
Richmond may be forced into up to four changes to face Collingwood on Friday night with superstar Dustin Martin in doubt after failing to complete training.

Richmond superstar Dustin Martin remains in considerable doubt to take on Collingwood in Friday night’s MCG blockbuster after failing to complete Wednesday’s main training session.
The champion ballwinner ran laps on his own in the rain due to a hamstring problem, while the rest of his teammates completed full-ground drills at Punt Rd.
He could be one of at least four changes for the Tigers with Jacob Hopper (knee) in a race against time and Jayden Short (calf) already ruled out. Nathan Broad was suspended for four matches for his dangerous tackle on Adelaide’s Patrick Parnell.
While the Tigers were hopeful Martin would be fit to take on the Magpies, it would be a massive gamble to play him off a short break so early in the season considering his repeat hamstring problems last year which restricted him to only nine games.
Geelong reaped the benefits of carefully managing their veteran stars last year, resting Patrick Dangerfield in particular, at times, to help him hit the finals in peak condition.
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick said in the preseason the Tigers may take a leaf out of Geelong’s book with its injury management this year.
“It’s a fine balance, understanding that we’d love to keep our best side on the park all the time but knowing you’ve got to get your best side on the park at the right time. To do that, it can look a little bit different,” Hardwick told the club’s website.
“Do Trent and Jack and our older established players have to play every game? Because, if they do, then our younger players will stifle in their development.
“That’s been a real conversation piece for us over the course of the summer.”
Martin, 31, had scans on his hamstring in Melbourne on Sunday after he was substituted out of Saturday’s win over Adelaide early with hamstring soreness.
Developing forward Noah Cumberland could replace Martin in the Richmond forward line as the Tigers attempt to upset the most in-form team in the competition on Friday night.
Richmond midfielder Hopper is also battling a knee complaint and is in major doubt, while Jayden Short has been ruled out with a recurring calf issue.
It means the Tigers could be forced to make three changes, while star goal kicker Tom Lynch also copped a corked leg and faced a light week on the track.
The injuries will test the Tigers’ depth considering Robbie Tarrant (hip), Josh Gibcus (hamstring) and Ivan Soldo (foot) are also sidelined with injuries.

In the Mix: Round 3

The Tigers will have at least two forced changes, if not four, with Nathan Broad (suspension) and Jayden Short (calf) confirmed outs. Jacob Hopper (knee) and Dustin Martin (hamstring) are also under injury clouds.
Sub Rhyan Mansell made an immediate impact with his forward defensive pressure, and should come into the 22, while Jack Ross (29 and 13 marks) had a strong showing in the VFL.
Noah Cumberland is one who could come into the frame for Martin, while Tyler Sonsie and Thomson Dow are ready to go in the midfield if needed.
Broad's replacement is less obvious, with the taller Ben Miller not exactly a like-for-like, and Josh Gibcus and Tom Brown injured, while Hugo Ralphsmith or potential debutant Sam Banks could come under consideration. Bigoa Nyuon played ruck in the VFL last week.

HF: Maurice Rioli Jack Reiwoldt Shai Bolton
F: Samson Ryan Tom Lynch Noah Cumberland
R: Toby Nankervis Tim Taranto Trent Cotchin
Int: Jack Graham Rhyan Mansell Tyler Sonsie Jack Ross
Emg: Hugo Ralphsmith Ben Miller Judson Clarke Biggy
-
Hopper and Martin are OUT.
So ... OUT's:
-Broad
-Short
-Martin
-Hopper
-
Cumberland straight in then given he & Dusty are apparently the same player.
Ross comes in you'd think. Jack Graham is capable of playing more midfield minutes to cover Hopper too, or just more game time for Chimp.
-
Out - Hopper, Martin, Broad, Short. ?????
Ins - Sonsie , Cumberland, Clarke, Ross, Possibly Miller
-
Martin will be unavailable due to general soreness, while Hopper suffered a knee complaint in last Saturday's match against Adelaide.
Both are expected to be available for Round 4 against the Western Bulldogs.

It's likely to be wet weather footy. So, I'm guessing all the ins will be smalls/mids.
Broad -> Hugo
Short -> Ross
Martin -> Mansell (expecting Dimma will try him as a defensive forward again)
Hopper -> Dow/Sonsie
Clarke the sub.
I know in Dimma's own words that Cumberland and Dusty now play the same roles in the forward line, but Dusty can be thrown into the centre as well. Plus, Cumberland's game in the VFL on the weekend was pretty ordinary. If Cumberland does come into the side then I see it more due to the wet weather to replace a tall forward like Ryan. Harsh on Samson as he did his job last week, but if the ball going to spend most of the time at ground level, we don't need to play 3 tall forwards.
-
Broad - McIntosh (When Broad went down in the 2020 GF KMac was sent back). This is Dimma's go to move.
Mansell in for Short and will tag Nick Daicos
Dow for Hopper
Cumberland for Dusty
Clarke to replace KMac on the wing.
Sub likely to be Ross but prefer Sonsie.
-
Out: Hopper, Dusty, Broad, Short
In: Sonsie, Cumberland, Miller, Ross
Mansell stays the sub or swap him for Hugo/Clarke

I liked most of your suggestions but I don’t agree that Dow is ahead of Sonsie or Ross.
Wouldn’t mind seeing Hugo but was a little disappointing in VFL game from what I saw.

Out: Hopper, Dusty, Broad, Short
In: Sonsie, Cumberland, Miller.
Keep Mansell in side.

Hardwick will have a handful of fringe players to choose from to face the Magpies, with Hugo Ralphsmith, Noah Cumberland, Tyler Sonsie, Judson Clarke, Jack Ross and Thomson Dow all taking part in Thursday's captain's run.
The Tigers' selection committee won't let the forecasted wet weather influence their decision-making for this week, with their tall contingent of Tom Lynch, Jack Riewoldt, Samson Ryan and Toby Nankervis still in line to combine against the Magpies, who are without ruck-forward Mason Cox for the coming rounds.
Ralphsmith firms as a likely option to plug a gap in Hardwick's rearguard, while Jack Ross and Tyler Sonsie will be in the frame as further midfield assistance.
Veteran Trent Cotchin is likely to see his midfield minutes spike after sharing his time in attack to start this season, while Shai Bolton may also be thrown into the middle to potentially allow the likes of Cumberland and Clarke to secure spots at selection.

All the forced outs.
Ins:
Sonsie
Cumberland
Miller
Probably Ross based on VFL form although I don't rate him

'Spy' says Miller also there today.
-
Will be interesting to see whether they pick Cumberland off 5 tackles and minimal possessions.
-
Wouldnt blame him if he is feeling a bit jaded
-
Cumberland, Clarke and Sonsie all better players at the higher level.
Time to unleash them.
