Cotch out with a hammy :(.
-----------------------------
Nick Vlastuin and Dustin Martin both likely to walk into Richmond's 22 for next week's Grand Final rematch. Martin (concussion) is due back from NZ after the weekend and Vlastuin (knee) powered through a big running session today. Dion Prestia's calf still tight.

Aartz and Cotch out
Vlastuin Martin In

Listening to Dimma's press conference it's obvious he values Rioli, Costania and Aarts as forwards. I don't see it but you can't argue with the results.

In: Dusty, Flossy
Out: Cotch, Mansuel
Sub: Ross or Naish

Mansell allows Baker to play wing/forward. Must stay in the team.

100% this.

How good does Baker look forward of centre and its a part of the ground where you need not worry about his lack of size.thats not a put down either.
We just had a great win but as usual we had blokes who hardly had a sniff. not going to enter into a slanging match but a few continue to make little contribution.

Out:
Cotch
Mansell
Castagna/Aarts
In:
Dusty
Vlas

Vlas to take Mansells position down back. Mansell unlucky but with vlastuin coming in a defensive spot needs to be freed up. Baker to remain forward taking one of the 3 smalls spots and naish to come in on the wing opposite Kmac.

Crazy talk. Blanketed JJ and Pickett the last two weeks. No way he is dropped.

Mansell playing very good football, what am I missing with all those calling for him to be dropped :-\ :-\ :-\

I’m not dropping him on form but if nick is back then you’ve got grimes, astbury, broad, balta, Vlas, short and Houli. There’s your back 7. You dropping any of them ahead of mansell? If not dropping who are you repositioning?

Move short up the ground. Houli kick ins

Grimes is out with delayed concussion :(.
Howeverm "all going well" Floss and Dusty will be available.

Forced changes now make this week a direct swap.
Out: Cotch & Grimes
In: Dusty & Floss
If Floss doesn't come up though then don't be surprised if we bring back Eggy :-\.

I wonder if any of the Bruce behaviour will be looked at
-
What did he do other than give Grimes' head a slight push?
FMD

Knee drop? And behind play incident also, late hit after a kick...which I notice wasn't paid down field like it should be.
-
Time to bring in Miller to replace an injured Grimes.
-
Think Flossy replaces Grimes.
-
no way we drop Mansell. We finally have a small defender who does great work shutting out opposition forwards. Only part of his game that needs a bit of improvement is probably him finding a bit more ball which im sure will come the more he plays.
Dont know what Houli has done or Short for that matter to not be in the gun instead of Mansell.

3x and 2x premiership players probably but I get your point. Mansell should hold his place for now.

Team Tips: Two guns in, two guns out? The Tigers will lose captain Trent Cotchin for the Grand Final rematch with a “small” hamstring strain; but given his history with soft tissue injuries, the club will be careful and he may miss up to a month. Dylan Grimes presented with concussion symptoms last Saturday and will also miss Friday night. However Dustin Martin is back from a short trip to New Zealand to visit his dad, and as long as he clears the concussion protocols he‘ll be available, likewise Nick Vlastuin (knee) who just needs to get through main training on Wednesday.

In the Mix: Round 8
Callum Twomey

RICHMOND
It will be a busy week for match committee at Punt Road, with Trent Cotchin (hamstring) and Dylan Grimes (concussion) to miss. Nick Vlastuin is considered a probable return from his knee injury and could be a straight swap for Grimes in defence, while Dustin Martin can come back for Cotchin in the midfield after missing the win over the Bulldogs with concussion. Patrick Naish was last week's substitute and could remain in that role, while Callum Coleman-Jones, Will Martyn and Maurice Rioli Jr are pressing to break into the senior side.
Verdict: Cotchin and Grimes out for Martin and Vlastuin.

Can anyone tell me how well Miller is going this year. Been a lot of conflicting reports.
Would the Grimes injury warrant the following thinking.
Miller in to play shut down kpd and Balta to be freed up into the Grimes role. This way we do keep the same structure.
Probably depends on how tall the cats go.
Last time we played em Grimes had the job on Rohan who is a decent height and size at 189/92 i think Broady will have to go to him this time. if they play another tall it will stretch us a bit.
If in their shoes i reckon Jeremy Cameron a very mobile tall fwd and you could almost play him as a third tall.That would pave the way to play Hawkins and Ratogalea unless Ratogalea is injured?

Maybe the match committee should give Geelong a call and check with them the team they are naming first ??

He started the game quite well in the VFL but unfortunately I dont think he is up the big time against Hawk.

Are there any genuine options to play down there if we lose one of Balta or Astbury or both.
Would it hurt to give him a game to find out where he is at. People are saying the defensive side of his game is pretty good.

Dimma has confirmed Dusty and Floss will be back.

Miller had a groin injury until two weeks ago when he returned to play in the VFL against Casey.

He is improving every week. Is now playing like a big man should as i was critical of him in this regard the past few years. Understands our game style and is a real leader down back. Good size and neat kick and is learning to compete. Would like to see how he performs in the AFL team but not this week.
