Changes for next week's final against the Blues?

[one-eyed]

Richmond football manager Dan Richardson said Riewoldt (back) was expected to return after missing Saturday night's match against Essendon.

"He was a little bit sore in his back but we expect him to be OK," Richardson said.

"It was just soreness in his back, so I think we are pretty confident that everything will be fine in that regard."

But Richardson said there was "a little bit of doubt" over Matt White, who was subbed off at half-time against the Bombers with a back-related hamstring injury.

reckon the big o needs to play just means someone has to miss.

Spot on Claw.
I can't believe the amount of people on here calling for the Big O to be dropped. If we throw Ivan up against Kruezer and Warnock with only a bit of a chop out from Vickery, we will be flirting with disaster. Orren must stay. For me, the changes must be:
IN: Newman-Riewoldt-S. Edwards
OUT: White (h/string)-Pettard-Grigg

Understand the argument

But I just cannot see them going in with Maric, Stephenson & Vickery; especially with Jack coming back in.

I thought the Big O was good on Saturday but I just can't see them playing them all and there is no way in hell they will drop Tyrone so unfortunately the Big O is the unlucky one

I think it's important to our structure to leave Tyrone at CHF. The fact is that Ivan needs someone to share about 40-50% of the ruck workload on match day, especially against a lethal combo like Kruezer and Warnock. The problem is, I don't believe that Vickery is a natural ruckman to begin with, and the time he spends in the ruck robs our forward line of another marking option. Whereas I think we could really stretch Carlton's poor defence if we could afford the luxury of having Vickery, Jack and Aaron Edwards permanently in our forward fifty. I don't think it's a coincidence that we have looked a more dangerous and cohesive unit when the Big O has been in the side with Ivan.

Do you think Ty should be dropped or were you just saying?

[WA Tiger]

Why about Lonergan for White???

[Stripes]

I don't think Vickery should be dropped but I want the Big O to stay. Without his ruck work we will struggle. I would go in with The Big O rotating with Maric for the ruck on and off the bench, with Vickery in the forward line with A Edwards and Jack. Have Foley/White as sub, change over 10 minutes into the third quarter and use Vickery as the chop out in the ruck after this point.

Fail-proof   

[Coach]

Why about Lonergan for White???

stuff that. Would rather the return of the leg. Plays well in September Portmelbourneayresy.com

Tuck plays. If he doesn't, I'll make sure he does

[WilliamPowell]

Do you think Ty should be dropped or were you just saying?

Just saying - he should have been dropped half through the season and wasn't so it's clear he isn't going to be dropped

Right now I wouldn't drop him because of his mobility around the ground when he gives Maric a chop out in the ruck

Why about Lonergan for White???

Not in a million years.

White is fast, Lonergan is slow

White can actually hit targets Lonergan is a classic ball butcher

[Judge Roughneck]

There is only really limited number of people that can be dropped

Orren
Pettard
Grigg
Tuck
Foley?

White injury

Everyone else almost untouchable, for now.

Reckon Grigg and Foley are untouchable at the moment too Bents (perhaps Foley is on the brink). A Edwards would have been a given to go out with Jack's return but he is playing far too well at the moment to be considered seriously. Creates a big conundrum - I fear Big O will go out which will hurt us far more.

I'm worried here

I fear Vlastuin / Conca / Ellis type being dropped to accommodate Pettard or Grigg both of which Hardwick seems to like,  plus Newman, Shane Edwards and Reiwoldt. 

If White did not get an injury it would have been very interesting to see the 22 and which way the match committee went.

[Stripes]

I suspect White will play as a sub..

Yep, agree
