Fire away.

out richo(inj) foley white
in sarge, cuz, edwards/cotch
-
I don't think Cotch and Cuz have the match fitness yet to come in.
Out: Richo (inj)
In: :-\ ..... Sarge or Simmo :-\. Hmmm not much of a choice. Simmo could rotate with Gus and Patto through ruck and forward line. Sarge is the more traditional forward but doesn't produce at AFL level.

OUTS. White , JON .
IN Cotchin and Cousins.

Out Richo (inj) JON
In Vickery Cousins
Cotchin should play another two weeks for the Burgers and return in the Dreamtime Game in round 9.
Hey kid aint ready but throw them in the deep end for a while and lets see how he goes. Other clubs do it we should have the courage and do it too rather than have him stay at the urgers for 2 or 3 years.
Sarge has had a go so has Cleve. Give Ty a go and keep him there for the rest of the season.
If he plays 15 games the rewards will be there two years from now, than us playing him in 2011 and saying he's been a good player at Coburg for a while now and he needs to step up. Lets nurture the step up from now by playing him on the big stage. He is a pick 8 FFS. Don't waste him at Coburg.
Play Thompson too. He's young and will add some more toughness around the footy.
Simmo can stay out. Angus has momentum let Troy stick to teaching his martial arts class and milking his venomous snakes. Obviously that takes too much emotion and concentration out of him come match day.

thompson and simmo were pathetic yesterday and dont even need to be thought about

HAHAHAHAHA GOLD
100 % correct may i add.
How many times did i see in my time Sheeds/Malthouse/Lethal throw in a young kid out of left field.
Not at Punt Road we would rather recycle the tried failures of Schulz/ Simmo.
Then performance of Graham/Patto today surely does singal the end of Simmo but then again we are at Punt Road so i expect one could get dropped thats the thinking of the some of the imbeciles that run the selection commitee
-
Outs: Morton, Richo (inj - should not have played today >:()
Ins: Cousins, Schulz
Would also be tempted to drop Patto and Cogs and bring in Simmonds for reason that I cannot explain :P and maybe Cotchin. Although, I reckon personally based on his efforts on saturday his performance doesn't warrant a game ... good last quarter but....
Sadly Cogs was found wanting in the pace department on the small SCG today. On a ground where it goes from one end to the other so quickly the Swans ran off him alot. It was a worry

Out Richo (inj) JON
In Vickery Cousins
.
when Vickery takes his first overhead mark for the season, and that is with an opponent within 5 mtrs, that may be cause to celebrate that he is an advance on the lumbering giant some are thinking...he's as much a KPP at AFL level as Robbie Nahas would be making the boomers side...Im concerned at where we turn to resolve our forward line woes that we haven't already tried...Maybe Hughes can leapfrog sarge and go straight in :clapping

You must have been at Coburg on Saturday BJ17 :thumbsup
I thought I was the only one who noticed :P
As I said on another thread he is a long term future player. He doesn't need to be thrown to the wolves when he isn't ready

You mean he hasn't turned from a kid into the next superstar KPP forward we need.
Geez he's had a few games for Coburg what are we paying this kid for.

Yep about what I think too MT, throw Clever into the mix as well of searching for a full forward who probably wont do
-
Out: Richo, Morton/McMahon
In: Simmonds (key forward), Cousins
Cotchin doesn't deserve a call up yet, neither does Vickery or Schulz or anyone else who played at Coburg
-
I dont believe we need to make sweeping changes.Even in my heart of hearts did I think we would get that close to Sydney at the SCG.Schulz might get another chance due to Richos injury.Morton gets a "last chance to perform or its back to Coberg"
It is unfortunate that there is no pressure for spots in that forward line.We will be just replacing under performing AFL players with under performing VFL players. :banghead

Hey Infamy,
Were you at the Swan's chairman's club yesterday? Your suggested ins match the opinions of a few of the Richmond Board membersand a couple of the senior staff.

simmonds does not deserve a recall, he was slow and pretty much useless for coburg
-
playing richo cost us in the second half. morton not good enough to fill his role yet. maybe sarge will play for his life if he gets the job through lack of anyone else.
we'll smash brisneyland if we play like our second half again, if we have a firing fwd.
out: richo patto
in: shultz cousins
-
Schulz will be recalled as will Cousins but I am unsure who Benny will replace. I don't hink they will remove JON as they are giving him the time he needs to show if he can perform or he is gone at years end. More likely someone like McMahon.
The forwardline continues to be a problem. It might be time to rotate Lids through the forwardline with Cousins?
We may have to experiment with players such as Putt, Post, Vickery and Hughes again because this is the most pressing problem for not just this year but into the future that I can see.

Hey Infamy,

No, just my opinion from watching the Coburg game and assessing our needs for the game against Brisbane.
Pay no attention to TigerTime, he needs his eyes tested, Simmonds was everywhere for Coburg and has now had two good games in a row for them.
Schulz doesn't deserve a call up based on his game, his timing is terrible, he would have been a walk up start given his previous two games for Coburg, but when we lose he also puts in a shocker. We need a key forward to replace Richo and Simmonds is pretty handy there as long as he can hold on to his marks which has been his problem this year. I didn't see him drop any against Casey so I think he should get another go. I think Gus & Patto should be able to handle the ruck duties by themselves against a pretty weak ruck division, which will be good for their development.
Cousins was a standout in a crap game, he got a lot of cheap disposals as all his team mates kept giving him the ball no matter what, but he played well.
The outs are pretty obvious, Richo is injured and Morton & McMahon were crap against Sydney. I'd suggest Morton to be dropped so Cousins can play a HFF role rather than a small defensive role.

win number 2.
this is how it normally plays out.

In the mix: round seven

Any number of players could return for Richmond – Ben Cousins, Trent Cotchin, Andrew Raines, Troy Simmonds, Jay Schulz, Shane Edwards – but most of them didn't play all that well for Coburg in the VFL. Cousins and Cotchin are the most likely to come up, while Simmonds is the most likely to replace Matthew Richardson.

Interesting Infamy, I wasn't all that impressed with Simmo's game for Coburg on the weekend. I just thought around the ground he looked really slow and his kicking was a bit dodgy
