Changes next week vs. Fremantle

[one-eyed]

Nothing earth-shattering but Greg Denham today says Jacko will come back in for Tuck.


In other team news, Richmond, which hosts Fremantle at the MCG on Saturday night, will be without midfielder Shane Tuck for its next two games after he was crunched in the first half against Brisbane last weekend. Despite scans revealing no fractures to Tuck's ribs, he will be replaced by midfielder Daniel Jackson, who returns from suspension.

Tigers second-year forward Ben Griffiths took his first step in resurrecting his career when he played half a game in the VFL reserves on Sunday following surgery to both shoulders last year. Griffiths, the 19th player selected overall in the 2009 national draft, showed potential in five senior games last season at centre half-forward and is expected to press for senior selection in the second half of the year.

MICK WARNER’S FORECAST: Webberley and back-up ruckman Browne continue to impress in the VFL. Jackson returns from suspension. Mitch Morton wasn’t in the best in the VFL this week.

What a crock

Griffiths played last week in Coburg's reserves so I dont' know where the 1-2 weeks cmes from

Ditto Jakobi - he was at a pre-match at the Brissie game and said he is right to go this week only problem Coburg has the bye

And can I add - the VFL draw this seaosn is a shocker. These VFL aligned clubs do themselves no favours regarding their alignments with their draw requests.

IN: Jackson, Browne (no,not the songwriter)
OUT: Tuck, Graham

[Hellenic Tiger]

Jacko for Tuck seems to be the logical choice.

Was thinking when Kelvin Moore is available will make our backline a little straighter. He may even struggle to get in. Look at Thursty on the outer atm with Grimes looking good and Rance improving.

Possibly Moore coming back if possible against Essendon if he has match fitness at Coburg behind him.

when Moore is fit in would have thought he comes in for mcgaune.

Rance. Grimes. Moore.

Hasn't played a game yet Tucker - you'd think he'd need at least 2-3 games at Coburg before AFL

RICHMOND - In the Mix

Shane Tuck is set to miss a couple of weeks after picking up a rib cartilage injury in the win over the Lions. Dan Jackson has served his suspension for making high contact with North's Scott Thompson and looms as a likely replacement. Andrew Browne pressed his claims once again with an excellent performance for Coburg as did Jeromey Webberley.
