Tuck is a must IMO VS Sydney and Hawthorn. I'd leave Arnot in for the same reason - toughness.

Out... To be honest I wasn't impressed by S Edwards today but I wouldn't drop him. Maybe Grigg or White. Full game for Foley.

Need Tuck in but it's not clear cut on who he should replace. Good position to be in  :cheers

Would like them to bring in Tuck but can't see them making any changes.

i think astbury will come in, not sure who for though. perhaps petterd? floss may even be the unlucky one - he may be rested rather than dropped
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

RICHMOND

ON THE BLOCK: It’s a very small block at Tigerland these days. If Damien Hardwick really wanted to make a change Matt Arnot could be the unlucky one after being subbed out in the third term yesterday with nine disposals to his name.

ON THE CUSP: Several handy players are fighting for a chance to play finals but the Tigers’ form – and a very short injury list – is making it tough. Shane Tuck is at the front of the queue after picking up another 21 touches and eight clearances yesterday in Coburg’s three-point win against Werribee. Robin Nahas (30 disposals), Sam Lonergan (24 and 11 clearances) and Brad Helbig (26) are also available if needed, while Liam McBean kicked two goals.

AL PATON’S FORECAST: Yesterday’s result was massive for the Tigers, who would now have to suffer a disastrous loss in the last six rounds to miss the finals. But Richmond will want to carry some momentum into September and they couldn’t find a better way to do that than beating one of Sydney and Hawthorn in the next two weeks. Remarkably, the Tigers defeated both of those sides comfortably last season so they know it’s possible, although it’s nine years since they tasted success at the SCG.

RICHMOND - In the Mix

Aaron Edwards was replaced by Bachar Houli in round 17, but he could come back into the frame for Sunday clash against the Sydney Swans. Used across half-back against Gold Coast in round 16, he is now an option at both ends of the ground for the Tigers. Extensive changes are unlikely after an impressive win against Fremantle, but Robin Nahas (30 possessions) and Brad Helbig (26 and a goal) pressed strong claims in the VFL. Sam Lonergan, who had 24 possessions and 11 clearances, was also among Coburg's best. Shane Tuck is on the cusp of returning from a shoulder injury. - Nathan Schmook

tuck  and most certainly astbury and mcbean.
even with injuries they have gone white everitt and tippett forward then the ruckmen mumford and pyke regularly rest forward. we can be thankful reid lrt and goodes are all injured.hence astbury.
they will play 3 tall defenders lets keep em honest and hopefully take just a little of the focus off riewoldt and give mcbean a game.
tucky big body is a must.
most ikely outs to fit em in are white edwards grigg possibly arnot but lets keep him in eh.
