why would matt dea get dropped what a joke.  nfi.

miller is a spud  but will likely get dropped for another spud in vickery. i really dont get it what the hell has vickery ever done in his career to earn such stellar treatment.  if anything hes been worse than miller. why play either is the question i keep asking.

batchelor has been  badly out of form but wait a minute so has vickery all yr. so that will mean he will be safe because hes one of the chosen few.

brett ohanlon is a 189cm medium forward lets see do we have anyone like him?  hmm nope.  this kid has been bent over and reamed. they would have been better off leaving him at coburg instead of getting 20 minutes a game for two weeks  ffs lets give theese kids a decent crack at it when we do pick em.

grimes morris and foley are automatic inclusions.
for structure at least one more tall should be picked if not two.

grimes rance griffiths  down back.  riewoldt elton,  i maric forward  and graham in the ruck.

wht the hell pick vickery. why not reward good coburg form and pick graham or white for that matter. why dont we make all players when out of form go back and earn their spot back rather than just gifting them games week afer week to get nothing more than mediocrity out of them.
if graham is not to be promoted ever again which seems the case miller stays for another week but bring in elton for a game. just my opinion but i think development and list building  is going backwards at a rate of knots.

If Grimes and Morris are the only ins
O'Hanlon and Dea would miss
If Foley was to play.Ellis might miss
Don't know about Vickery playing

I reckon Griff will 'swing' on the day depending on team balance.

While the HUN & Age are suggesting Vickery & Foley are a chance to play

The Australian (Greg Denham) are saying both are UNLIKELY to play:

Wounded Tigers set to miss crucial Crows clash
by: Greg Denham
From: The Australian June 28, 2012 12:00AM

RICHMOND has been dealt a cruel blow in the lead-up to Saturday's AAMI Stadium encounter with Adelaide, with key forward Ty Vickery and midfielder Nathan Foley unlikely to play.
The Tigers were hoping Vickery would overcome a knee injury and that Foley (bruised heel) would pass a fitness test, but last night they were all but ruled out.

Vickery did not play against the Giants before the bye after taking a midweek tumble from his bike and requiring 10 stitches in his injured knee.

Foley's recovery has taken longer than initially expected as he has not played since the Tigers defeated St Kilda in round 10.

However, defenders Dylan Grimes and Steven Morris appear certain to return from injuries.

Grimes (hamstring) has not played at the elite level since round eight, but played part of a game in the VFL last weekend. Morris (shoulder) missed the win over GWS.

 ...The addition of Grimes will be welcomed as Crows full-forward Kurt Tippett appears likely to play after being substituted early in last Sunday's loss to North Melbourne with concussion.

As I said when he they first stated that he had a bruised heel: It is a very tricky injury and he could be away longer than expected.

I think you would be spot on.
