What changes, if any, should be made for next week at the 'G?
-
McGuane will miss with a hammy.
Hopefully Thursty will be 100% next week so he'll be a logical replacement. If Thursty does not come up either I suggest debut Rance. Big crowd big game big stakes footy. Regardless of the result kid will remember his first game learn a hell of a lot and will have exposure of the "big blockbuster" so early in his career. Can't be all that bad for him.
Possibly JON for Connors also.

Wait for the Coburg result first
-
In: Thursty, Sugar
Out: McGuane (inj), JON
Hopefully some of the cubs at Coburg have a strong game today just in case Sugar or Thursty don't come up.

Bump.

I would like to see JON out. Sorry to say he still needs to work on his kicking and decision making and COburgs the best place for that. Especially if we are serious about trying to make the finals. I can see improvement but there were still too many dangerous passes and turn overs resulting in shots on goal for my liking.
I love his attack on the ball and his courage. He moves well and he definitely has that freakish quality that the indigenous players can have. I just don't think the players have confidence in him and I understand why.
Agree with MT.
In: Thursty, Sugar
Out: McGuane (inj), JON
McGuane's a big loss IMHO.
-

Bump.
I guess it now all depends on the availability of our injured players
You would think that Johnson & Thursfield would be walk up starts, but let's just hope they're fit enough to play
Only Schulz put his hand up at Coburg, but unless Thursfield isn't fit, I can't see him coming in.
-
I think the decision is agreed upon then if they are available-
In - Thursty, Johnson
Out - McGuane, JON
I would also throw up Rance as a potential inclusion if Thursty isn't right but Schulz is more likely at this stage.

Agree with consensus, is Kingy still a week away ? I know it's not a balance but if he is ready Jack or Polo 4 Kingy too .....
As we can see, Ins/Outs are getting hard too pick aren't they, good signs :thumbsup
Gunna keep everyone on their toes - hey Joel
-
IS there any guarantees Johnson will be available?
Ins: Schulz
Out McGuane

From one-eyed's post on the Coburg vs Casey thread:
"Some stats from the Herald-Sun
Richmond-listed forward Jay Schulz was the main focal point in attack for the Tigers with five majors, while Kayne Pettifer kicked two from 19 touches.
Andrew Raines and Greg Tivendale played in the midfield and had 50 disposals between them."

Need someone to stop Fev kicking a bagful.

Did Fev play last time we beat them?
-
fev played and kicked 2.2
ill be happy with a moore/bowden match up for fev.
IMO Moore is the most improved player on our list this year
-
I agree Daniel. Kel is going great guns. I can now see why the coaching staff have put so much faith in him especially when others were wanting him delisted. He will be our version of Dustin Fletcher! :thumbsup
-
Thursfield played on Fev in round 1. Fev tried to hurt him at every opportunity. Will kept getting back up and did a good job. If he's fit he should get the job again.

Yeah, got a bit of it early if I remember but faded out as the Carltankcrapcheatliesteal (I love that ;D) night got darker.

Ch 10 news said Thursty, Sugar and Jacko are ready to come in.
Wallace was less definite today...
"We have got some interesting selection situations this week because we have got four blokes coming back from injury (Thursfield, Johnson, King and Jackson) but with a week's break the following week," Wallace said.
"So do you play all four of them or do you just play two of them - that will be determined as the week progresses."

Apart from the Captain who I think we've missed leadership wise
I'd make all of them come back via Coburg.
The only forced change is McGuane and he should be replaced by Schulz.
What do we do? Who do you drop?
Just because Jacko is available does that mean you have to drop Polo or Hyde. Do they deserve to be dropped. Based on their performances last week - NO
Bring back King for who? McMahon - don't' think so his 2nd half in particular was very good
Thursfield? Hmm do you take the risk in such a big game with someone coming back from a hammy
So many question - which is good. Means the depth is finally there
-
Seems Jacko is more certain than Sugar going by what Terry said today. I wouldn't drop Hyde or Polo either WP based on their game against Port.
I'd stick with two changes. 4 players coming back from injury is too great a risk IMO.
In: Thursty, Sugar (if he's not right then Jacko)
Out: McGuane (inj), JON.

Thursfield earmarked for Fev
Rachel Hewitt with AAP | June 24, 2008 03:00pm
IF Will Thursfield gets through a fitness test, he will face an even bigger challenge on Saturday: an on-fire Brendan Fevola.
Speaking at Punt Road today, Richmond coach Terry Wallace said Thursfield was expected to be available for the game, after missing two weeks with a hamstring injury.
If he is, the young Tiger defender will likely get the job on Fevola, who has kicked 15 goals in the past two weeks. But Wallace said the final decision wouldn’t be made until later this week.
“Obviously Kel Moore would be a very good chance, but if Will plays, Will’s always played full back, that’s his role and responsibility in the side, so he’d obviously be the one,” Wallace said.
He named Joel Bowden as another option to tackle Fevola. Bowden had an impressive 39 possessions and 23 marks in Saturday’s four-point win against Port Adelaide.
Wallace said the team faced some “interesting selection situations” this week, with the possibility of skipper Kane Johnson, Thursfield, Jacob King and Daniel Jackson all returning to the side.
“You’ve got four blokes all coming back from injury with a week’s break the following week – do you play four of them? They’re all desperate to put up their hands obviously because of the game that it is.
“Do you play four of them? Do you play two of them? That will be determined as the week marches on.”
