Looks like our midfield will have to rove to the opposition ruck again like they did during the West Coast game. The Big O just needs to create a neutral contest and we will win the contested ball. Batchelor would get the nod over Dea I would imagine. Flossy would play with a missing leg if he could away with it so Arnot would only play if the medico's want to be ultra cautious.

I'm starting to get concerned about the game now... :-\

Just realised Lenny isn't playing. He'll probably head off to the GWS game so that next time he meets a 6 year old Richmond fan he can say I can't remember the last time I saw us lose to Richmond. stuffwit.  :whistle

I know it is a Sunday game but Lukey McGuane is there, could he go in for Chappy if he doesn't get up???

Thought the same thing GPT.  Seems to be a couple of 'specific' ins that might be insurance or a portent of changes to come:

Stephenson for Maric is a given.
Batchelor or Dea for Astbury.

McGuane for Chaplin?
Arnot for Vlastuin?
McGuane should never play in defence ever again. That's why he was moved forward.

I wonder if we are resting Maric because we may know McEvoy may not play after copping concussion last week?

He's going to play (McEvoy) I'm quite sure. Could always play McGuane forward and hope he kicks his cameo 1-3 goals. Put Vickery on Kosi and see what happens. He should be tall/quick/strong enough for that. Rance for Riewoldt of course.

All this if Chaplin doesn't play of course, otherwise business as usual. But with no Gilbert, Fisher or Simpkin Jack should hopefully have a day out and McGuanr could snag a couple.

Thankfully no Maister. Batchelor just isn't tall enough unfortunately...

McGuane has still kicked more goals this year than Vickery and from less games.

All the other options are taller than Maister (bar Roo who Batch would never play on anyway)  :help

I am very surprised Hayes isn't playing. A positive for us. Although at the end of his career still a very good player. McEvoy is one of the best ruckmen going around. He was outstanding against us last time. Big O needs to play like he did against Port. Agree will have to adopt tactics that we used against Eagles. Batchelor for Astbury and Big O for Maric. If Chaplin doesn't pull up they will bring in McGuane. If Vlas out will bring in Arnot

We have seriously mismanaged the Ruck component of our list management. It must be our highest priority to grab a seasoned, skilled Ruckmen at this years drafts/trades period.
To do so, that ruckman must be able to hold down a spot as a forward, and it would also probably mean offloading vickery

they would be crazy to offload a guy that is just coming into his prime in the next year or two.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

I sure hope he comes into his prime. Has gona backwards the last two years.

Would like to see him put on 5kg in the not-too-distant future.

Panic Room: Richmond's Nick Vlastuin could be a late withdrawal against St Kilda

WHISPERS

The eyes of the SuperCoach world are on Richmond teenager Nick Vlastuin this weekend.

Vlastuin has played just eight matches, but carries the hopes of more than 150,000 players in Australia's biggest fantasy sports game.

The bad news is he is a big chance to take a rest while the Tigers face St Kilda at the MCG on Sunday.

Vlastuin hurt his shin when another player fell on it against the Dogs last weekend and spent the last 16min of the match on the bench nursing the injury. Coach Damien Hardwick said he suffered bruising and our spies tell us he was was limping around the club during the week.

He was named in the side last night but it wouldn't be a surprise if the coaching staff had a change of heart and decided it's not a bad time for the youngster to have a rest to keep him fresh for the run home - and hopefully finals.

The Tigers are adamant another defender, Troy Chaplin, will play despite being carried off last week with a knee injury.
