Teams for Round 6 - Cotchin, Martin out injured

[WA Tiger]

Answer me this.
When Morton plays what could be described as a questionable game,he is dropped.
Last week Jak Reiwoldt was downright disgraceful and an embarassment to the jumper yet is named in the starting line up.

Double Standards Hardwick.?

In case you haven't noticed we are running out of fit players and Jack has one bad game, he has worked harder off the ball this year than Morton has too. Nahas also worked harder last week than Morton has as well.

I just get the feeling that Geelong will do just enough to win.

What motivation would Geelong have to beat a weak Richmond team by over 100+ points.

Tigers in the wars

RICHMOND will confront Geelong this Sunday as the biggest outsider of the year.

Any chance the winless Tigers had of making the long drive home from Skilled Stadium as victors appeared to evaporate when they lost three key midfielders yesterday.

They're a $12 chance with TAB Sportsbet after losing Richard Tambling (hamstring), Trent Cotchin (hip) and Dustin Martin (soreness) and seem destined for a thrashing. Young forward Troy Taylor (knee) has also been ruled out.

Mitch Morton, Daniel Jackson Dean Polo and Will Thursfield are among the inclusions.

"It's always disappointing to lose quality players," Richmond football operations manager Ross Monaghan said last night.

"We'd certainly like them all to be out there, but the last thing we're going to do at this stage of our progress is risk any guys we've got a high regard for."

The Tigers have made at least five changes each of the past three weeks and have used 33 players this season.

Their Full-Strength Indicator is at 86 per cent.

So they now will know how they're regarded if they're played too early lol

Would be very good if it rains heavily on the day. May even things up a tiny bit. Play Webberley. Will be a good test of character.

Probably because Morton's form had been poor all year, Riewoldt had been good up to last week.  And just on last week - storm in a teacup - BT jumped on the "bad attitude" band wagon again last night on Footy Teams.  He really needs to let go of his own bad attitude and try commentating with an unbiased open mind.

They do have motivation for themselves though after last week's loss ...

Their forward line was woeful last week especially their tall forwards.
Their mids were badly beaten for once (Blues were too quick and more desperate. Judd killed them.)
Their defence had no answer to Carlton's quick small forwards.
Thompson bagging Ablett the past two weeks despite him still getting plenty of the ball.
Question marks in the media that maybe this is the beginning of the end for such a great side.

It would be handy for confidence leading into the upcoming games if they do go easy on us though and the margin doesn't blow out to 80+ points.

Very Very dissapointed Jack is playing this week 

[Ox]

ur kidding.
There isn't that much seperating Morton and Riewoldt.
Jak has wasted shots on goal,cracked the sihts and pulled the wool over your eyes with his
ability to appear relevant.
Isn't this year about seeing who want to stand up on a weekly basis?
Jak layed down last week and is rewarded with another selection.

Times like this you need to juggle the axing accordingly.

You need Jack as a tall option.

You cant drop some him unless someone is capable of filling his role. Our forward line is small enough as is. If you drop him all of a sudden Scarlett goes to Astbury.

You start to become a circus if you drop every player that has a bad week when your the 16th side in the comp.

Deledio, Riewoldt, Foley, Newman, Cousins, Moore, Cotchin, Martin all will have down games this year. If we drop them at the first sighting of poor form all of a sudden we are a Ferris wheel.

We dropped Morton a small forward for Nahas.

Its not double standards its team make up.
