A rare week this year where we've got through unscathed.
Fire away with your changes, if any?
-
Naish, Butler, Townsend & Rioli would be the ones considered but it's hard to see who they will replace. Menadue and Castagna probably the ones under greatest threat in terms of like-for-like swaps. I thought Broad's first half was ordinary but he ended up at the end with 20 disposals.
-
Rioli will come in but not sure who goes out.
-
Outs: Higgins
Ins: Rioli
Broad was better today after a slow start.
-
Baker, Bolton and Castagna were quiet today.
I’d expect Rioli to come back in so 1 of those 3 or Menadue would be the likely outs.
Other than that no changes.

Might be time to give young turbo a rest. Better today but he looks tired
-
INS: Rioli
OUTS: Baker
Would love to see Townsend in too but not sure who he'd replace.
But Towner crashing through some of those timid Bumbling Bombers would be brilliant
-
Was Rioli that good today in the twos? First hand reports he wasn’t anything special.
I don’t think there’s anyone I could drop really. Wouldn’t wanna lose your spot at this stage in the team.
In: Would be fine with any of the aforementioned.
Out: Someone unlucky. Higgins and Baker did enough for mine.
Broad was better today after a slow start.
I thought Broad was great last week and just as solid this week?
-
Probably Higgins best game of the year.
-
This week will tell us a fair bit about where the club sees Menadue fitting in in the future.
I thought he was pretty good against Freo, and showed a bit today although today he still had some Menadue Moments.
If he gets dropped, then I think his papers are stamped.
If Rioli is fit he will come in for Dreamtime game.
-
Rioli will be in no doubt, for me I would drop Higgins.
He is not the worst, but Baker is too inventive and keen to be dropped. If they drop Bolton that would be ridiculous
-
Rioli or Butler in for Baker. Baker was ordinary in key passages of play. Baker shouldnt hold his place.
-
Menadue out for me.
Everyone else did enough but a few are lucky it's a win.
Baker and Castagna weren't great but they were alright. Same with Bolton. Broad came good and was very solid imo.
-
Menadue shouldnt be dropped before Baker. Baker was real ordinary.
-
There's no way Rioli isn't playing Dream Time so I would say Baker for Rioli the only change. It could be Castagna also but form has been reasonable (other then his brain fades)
Based on the 2's game it probably should be Butler or Naish but it won't be.
-
Gathwaite might not have a clear opponent this week and could make way? Again whoever makes way they will be stiff.

Really? They have Daniher and Bellchambers resting, they could play Hooker forward too. Brown also is set to return.....
-
Yeah I wouldn't be going in with short backline against Essendon......what we do need against them is pace and tackling pressure so:
In: Rioli, Butler
Out: Baker, Higgins
:shh
-
Just watched replay of yesterday’s VFL
Butler probably plays next week
Out Menadue
-
I wouldnt be dropping "the due". Like his run and kicking skills
-

Just raising the question. They played with only one genuine tall forward last week.
-
If it wasn’t the Dream Time game this week I would say no change but Rioli will come in and I think Menadue goes out.
I think both Baker and Higgins were good yesterday. In fact the quietest small was Georgie IMO.
-
Soldo offered one week suspension.
The incident, which occurred during the second quarter of Sunday's match, was graded by Michael Christian as intentional conduct with low impact to the head.
You couldn’t make this stuff up :banghead

In the Mix - Round 10
Sarah Black
afl.com.au
21 May 2019
Get them in: Usual forward Dan Butler, who has been in the VFL since round four, starred in the midfield (18 disposals, three goals). Patrick Naish put in yet another strong performance on the wing with 31 touches, while Daniel Rioli (17) returned from a series of knocks through the VFL. Riley Collier-Dawkins was the carry-over emergency.
Under the pump: Ruckman Ivan Soldo is off to the Tribunal on Tuesday night, attempting to downgrade his one-match suspension for striking. Jason Castagna (seven disposals, one goal) and Shai Bolton (11, one behind) were uncharacteristically quiet.
Medical room: Unbelievably, given their season-long horror run of injuries, the Tigers got through a match unscathed. Jack Graham is a chance to return from a hamstring injury, but given the Tigers' strong midfield form, may come through the twos.
Verdict: Richmond may have to play two 19-year-olds in the ruck if Soldo doesn't argue his way out of a suspension, with Callum Coleman-Jones the only other recognised ruckman on the list. It may be a double swap up forward, with Rioli and Butler chances to take Castagna and Bolton's spots.

Outs: Soldo. Baker. Higgins.
Ins:. Chol. Rioli. Butler.
-
IN: Coleman-Jones, Rioli
OUT: Soldo, Menadue
-
SURELY Bolton won’t be an out ?
-
On last performance Castagna should be the one to make way for Rioli then arguably Bolton but if we] want to maintain or even increase leg speed and defensive pressure which I think we'll need to against Essendon, then for me it's a toss up between Baker & Higgins...... :shh
-
Higgins for mine to go, who are we putting on Stringer?
-

Grimes to Stringer
-
With showers expected Rioli for Soldo would do it for me. Hope they go in tall as this will benefit us :shh
-
Daniher out :shh
-
He was shyte last week anyway. Bloke is injured/mentally weak IMO.

Refreshed Rioli eyes return in Dreamtime at the 'G clash

RICHMOND star Daniel Rioli is confident he has regained enough form and fitness to earn a recall for Saturday night's Dreamtime at the 'G clash with Essendon at the MCG.
Rioli missed the Tigers' round 8 win over Fremantle as he recovered from a corked thigh and sore ribs, then returned via the VFL last week where he impressed coach Damien Hardwick.
"He (Hardwick) said that I had a good game, that I was back to my best basically, (because) I applied pressure and laid eight tackles. That's what he needed, so fingers crossed I will be playing against Essendon," Rioli told reporters on Wednesday.
The 21-year-old confirmed that his return via the VFL was due to his injury, rather than a backlog of small forwards in the AFL.
"I didn't want to go out there (AFL) not feeling 100 per cent. 'Dimma' and the coaches knew I wasn't feeling up to standard, so I had to go play VFL and test the body contact," he told AFL.com.au.
"I embraced it all, gave it my hardest and played okay, so hopefully I'll get through selection and be up and running on Saturday."
Rioli designed Richmond's 2019 indigenous guernsey along with his parents, who live in the Tiwi Islands.
It features the turtle, which is Rioli's totem, as well as spears similar to the ones used traditionally for battle and now for hunting.
"There was a bit of up and down, phone calls and messages back and forth. I was the ideas person and Mum and Dad are the artists," Rioli said.
"I can draw a little bit, but I left it to Mum and Dad because they're the better ones.
"The club gave me the opportunity last year. I asked if I could do it and they didn't hesitate … I was pretty stoked, told Mum and Dad and they were pretty excited and couldn't wait to get the ball rolling."
Ruckman Ivan Soldo's failed attempt to challenge his one-week suspension for striking has opened the door for the untested 19-year-old Callum Coleman-Jones, who Rioli played alongside last weekend in the VFL.
"He's pretty exciting, Callum. He's a ruckman who can go forward and kick some goals," Rioli said.
"He's pretty funny as well. He can run all day and test the opposition. He's a good overhead mark and the Tigers fans should be very excited about him."

For me...
OUT
Soldo (unfair)
Menadue (delist)
IN
Rioli (time to shine)
CCJ
-
Harsh Andy... Menadue has been good this year.
-
Dimma said it'll be either Chol or CCJ in for Soldo. Rioli will come into the side as well.
