Matthew Arnot expected to make his Richmond debut

RICHMOND is poised to promote Matthew Arnot for his AFL debut against St Kilda.

Arnot is expected to get his chance in at least two forced changes to the Tigers' team in the twilight game at the MCG.

Young midfielder Nick Vlastuin and tall defender Troy Chaplin are in doubt, with Arnot and Luke McGuane, named among the emergencies, the obvious replacements.

Arnot, 19, has been close to selection for his first AFL game several times this season after solid VFL form.

Recruited from Oakleigh Chargers at pick No.55 in the 2011 national draft, Arnot impressed with his contesting work in the VFL before a hamstring injury sidelined him late last season.

The 180cm defender was the centre of attention from several teammates at training at Punt Road Oval, which seemed to indicate he has been given the nod for his AFL start.

Vlastuin, a Rising Star nominee, didn't join teammates when the Tigers had the light workout yesterday.

The gun recruit was restricted to only five possessions by a lower leg injury against the Western Bulldogs last Sunday.

Houli May be out also

[big tone]

Looking forward to today's game. And I do hope there is a few changes, would be good to get a game into Arnot for Nick and maybe Dea for Houli. Hope Chaplin plays though. As I have said a couple of times, it doesn't hurt to give some games to those that are 23, 24, 25 in the pecking order leading up to finals just to keep them all freshish. Need everyone playing for a spot week in week out to keep the urgency up for keeping your spot. It's how good teams become great, competion for spots.

I hope Houli is not out. Would be a big blow. Provides critical drive from backline.

The players mooted to come in for Vlaustin and Houli - Arnot and Dea need to be continually tested as bono-fide replacements prior to any finals campaign.
Better now than when the pressure is really on come September.

Today is a must win game. I would rather experiment in games we are not expected to win. We have to win games like today to have any chance of reaching finals.

Exactly, if we lose this one there would be some squealing and changes of opinion
