What changes, if any, would you make this week for the Geelong game?
Did Cotchin play anywhere this week?
-
Will be interesting to see which players from last nights game play this Saturday for Coburg, we are playing Collingwood and with Richo the only player looking like playing Saturday night that makes everyone else available.
Should be a decent game this week between Coburg and Collingwood.

Would think that "everyone being available" would be highly unlikely TFL - with it being an AFL "bye" for those not playing in the nuffin game on Saturday night - VFL clubs would need get permission for those who did not play in the VFL the week before. Would think it would be doubtful that anyone fromlast nights game would be allowed to play this week
-
Its a rest weekend for the players so you wont see many playing
Skunks VFL team is a nothing anyway everyone flogs them ;D
As for changes against Geelong it wont matter cause they going to give us a football lesson we aint going to forget
with the preasure they put on sides our side will crumble with the ugly mistakes we make
-
Polak if he's okay? back in for poor Jacko who didn't have clue on Saturday night.
Any other changes would depend on what the RFC Coburg boys put their hand up this week against Collingwood.
TM the way Coburg is playing at the moment no game is a gimme for them. The Burgers just got over the line against a winless Box Hill.

jacko is safe
polak in / schulz out
cotchin in / newman or jordy out

100% agree X

Cotchin should debut vs Essendon. Against Essendon he'll get more of the footy.
-
Cotchin should be put in for Geelong, so he knows what workrate he has to acheive to play the best in the comp
-
Cotchin should be given another 5 games to build up his endurance and fitness. He missed preseason and is still only a baby. I want him earning his place in the team and coming into the side confident and ready. When he arrives I want him to arrive with a bang not underdone.
Polak for Jackson.

Hopefully Cotch plays senior Coburg this week so I can see him on the tele. Like most supporter who haven't had the chance to see him play I am really impatient and excited.
Even so I acknowledge his age and inexperience so if it takes another 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 10 weeks for him to debut in the RFC seniors then so be it. What is best for him in the long term is what I want to happen.
I actually hope he has difficulty getting into the side since this should indicate we are going well and the boys are playing strongly.
-
selwood walked straight into the cats team cos he had a strong body
sure cotch had no preseason but hie youth and enthusiam will get him through
with all the rotations that happen all he needs is 7 minutes a quarter, surely he can do that
-
Do we want to hand him a spot on a platter? I don't think this would be good for him or the other players fighting for a place in the team. He needs to earn it. This will nesure we continue to strengthen our depth and that Cotch is playing at full fitness and is in form.

his class form and skill is alot better than say king and newman , so why not

I won't have a problem if they hold Cotch's debut off longer but I think you'll be on the money Ramps. Play him off the bench in spurts in the centre and up forward.
-

Because he is not nearly match-hardened enough to play at the senior level yet. He is still 2-4 weeks off being ready and the club have already said that they will not be rushing him.
-
So who will he replace?
-

Cant afford to have a player than can only play 35% of the game against the cats.
-
After today I think Polak will come back in for Jacko.
-
after yesterday, cotchin is more than ready

selwood only played 1 good quarter, 20 minutes of footy v the dockers and won the game for them.

Well if you want to have him sit on the pine and reduce rotations all match for a last quarter burst from Cotch fair enough but I'd rather wait until he can do about 60-65% and then bring him in. :thumbsup
-
he is ready to play 15 to 20 min each quarter. Thats good enough for me
-
I would think Polo or Bowden will come into the side this week, not sure if anyone else will be dropped.
Jackson would be lucky to hold his spot and i think Polak will be back in for him and Sarge should retain his spot.
Will be interesting to see if McMahon does.
-
Changes..... could depend on the weather they are predicting showers... which probably means nothing :-\ ;D
-
Was actually speaking to someone just now and the word is that someone will be dropped this week who had 0 tackles last week.
Just checked the stats on the AFL website and Newman, Morton, Simmonds, Edwards and Shultz all failed to register according to their data.
If this information is correct, who will it be? It sort of makes sense with the recent emphasis on tackling and defensive pressure.
-
I cant see any of those being dropped Schulz was the only one in the firing line and he held his spot based on yesterday. :thumbsup
McMahon and Jacko can go back to Coburg.
Bowden and Polak can come in.
-
In - Polak, can pinch hit either end and add a rotation for the >192cm talls.
Out - Jacko needs solid game time & more form at Coburg to make an impact at AFL level.

Agree with TA about those 5 being safe but if you had to choose from just those 5 then with Sarge saving himself on Saturday it would come down to Newy or Edwards. I'm a Newy fan but he's been ordinary the last 2 weeks :-\ while Edwards looked stuffed at quarter time of the Saints game although he had a nice little cameo with Jack in the last quarter.
I still think though it'll be just the one change - Polak in; Jacko out.
-
Ins - Cotchin, Hughes
Outs - Hyde, Jackson
-
speed is the key to this game.
i would rather see us go small in the forward line.
-
Will Ablett be playing? And we need someone to take out Ling.
-
Ins - Cotchin, Hughes
Outs - Hyde, Jackson
Didnt watch the Saints game hey and just looked at the stats sheet?
Hyde smothered Montagna.

Yep, Montagna was very, very noticeable by his absence. Hyde did a real number on him which was critical because Montagna normally does very well against us. FWIW I think Edwards will be dropped - he looked underdone and off the pace on Saturday and I reckon a couple of weeks of 100% game time and rebuild of some confidence will work wonders.
-
Hyde should stay in the team
Montagna is a gun and you know what i never saw him once at the Saints game.
We should stand him side by side with Bartel or Ablett if he plays..
I hope Ottens doesn't play i cant stand that soft piece of poo. i think his coming back this week..
-
I just would like to see Mooney knocked out after what he said about Victoria, which was, I hate Victoria. And the dope is playing in Victoria and is happy to take the money. If he hates it here then go back to the Swans.
I have never liked him as he thinks he's a thug, but he's only a wanna be but will never be, but only will be when it comes to kids that are on him and he can over power them. So lets put Polack on him and I bet he will play a crap game as he will be to scared to push him around.
So if this happens I will be happy win or lose. :gotigers

im worried about steve johnson more than anyone.
medium size forward and smalls are our biggest issue at the moment.
once they get a sniff they can easily bag 5 b4 u know it.
who is our best match up for him??
-
I would put young Moore on him. I think he's strong enough to compete with him and good enough to cut him out of the game.
-

Agree - he cuts us up every time. I don't even want to remember 2007 :'( :'(
The match up - McGuane for mine although if we are looking for someone outside the current side (that is who played against the saints) a Polo or even a Connors - footballers rather than athletes
-
Rumour on PRE that Cotchin will debut on the weekend. Only a rumour but supported by 2 posters.

Do you have the link?
Maybe that's where Jack's gone ?

Haven't seen anything from the club or in the papers :-\

RICHMOND'S VFL stars face more time at Coburg, with the Tigers intent on keeping a settled side for Saturday's clash against Geelong. The Tigers have only Andrew Raines missing from their best 22, which is putting enormous selection pressure on the senior side.
Joel Bowden, Graham Polak, Kayne Pettifer, Greg Tivendale and young draftee Trent Cotchin all pushed for selection playing with Coburg on Saturday.
But with the Tigers taking on reigning premier Geelong after a month of solid football, they may have to do more to win back their places.
Cotchin, who was drafted at No. 2 behind Matthew Kreuzer last year, would have been into the side at any other time in Wallace's reign.
But despite exciting Tigers insiders with his progress in four games since recovering from achilles soreness, he may be a fortnight away.
Cotchin is still building fitness after missing the entire pre-season, but has shown enough to warrant the lofty predictions made of him.
New-look forward Bowden is no certainty to return this week, despite a month of solid football in the VFL.
The Tigers are aware they must make a breakthrough in coming weeks after a last-gasp draw with the Bulldogs and honourable losses to St Kilda and Hawthorn.
Mark Coughlan has pulled up well from the Coburg game after finally recovering from hamstring soreness associated with his twin knee reconstructions.
Football director Greg Miller said yesterday the match committee would scrutinise the VFL performances in coming days.
"We had a few guys play well against Collingwood in the VFL. As to where that puts us in relation to selection, I think our side has been pretty settled the last four weeks," he said
"I wouldn't expect too many changes."

Welcome to OER Tiger2020 :).
SEN contacted the club on Sunday and they said the club believes it is only a "small" fracture in the wrist and they're hoping Kingy will be okay to play on Saturday.
-
Good to see we are starting to get some depth that we can be picky at the selection table.
I'm also happy Cotch's debut won't be rushed. His future is 2009 and beyond so there's plenty of time to be patient.

I would go Moore. Kel's done decent jobs on Buddy and Gehrig who like Johnson can turn it on. Leave Thursty and McGuane for Mooney and Hawkins.
