Would bring in Jackson, King and Edwards at the expense of Petterd, Newman and Vickery. Would bring in Biscuit at expense of Foley.

it wont happen but id be happy with as many as 6 changes and send a early message to the lot of em.
stephenson > vickery. o to the ruck, griffiths to vickerys spot and hampson spends more time forward as the ruck/for.
gordon > grigg. big body flexable and will tackle and run and hopefully use the ball better. can go forward as well.
jackson > mcdonough. jackos a mid replacing a def/mid whos not quite there yet.
king > newman. sad but true but king offers more as a forward than newman. thing is ball use and foot skills are an issue with us and newman is one of the better users of the ball and jakes not.
knights > petterd its a no brainer. can go thru the middle as well and is smart and uses well. all the things petterd isnt.
a edwards > s edwards. a medium forward for a non performing sml forward. aaron is the form forward on our list.

the crazy thing is i think there will only be changes made because of injury. if they all come up no changes.

I wanna see knights come in, sounds like he had a good game. If RFC selection panel had any guts they would drop newman, played horribly. Let him go get some form in the 2's.

I can't remember Newmans last standout game.

Primarily we need to see names of blokes who will do a consistently better job.

I believe #vickisue is front runner for this years , "Least consistent" award.

Say it slowly ....least con-sis-tent!

But maybe it isn't just about one game?

Some of the names are those who been dishing up the same old same old for an extended period of time but keep getting picked because the coaches love 'em for reasons lots of us just don't get

I think if we see Grigg and Vickery's surname in the out's list we all would be happy with that!  :thumbsup

Agree

But won't happen  :-\

Richmond must decide whether to rush back B&F winner Daniel Jackson (H-Sun)

Richmond must decide whether to rush back best-and-fairest winner Daniel Jackson

RICHMOND must decide this week whether to rush back reigning Jack Dyer Medallist Daniel Jackson against Carlton after just one pre-season hit-out.

Jackson won 13 possessions in three quarters on Friday night in the club’s VFL game after returning from groin and hamstring soreness.

But he would need to play off a six-day break, a tough ask given a pre-season held back by persistent soft-tissue concerns.

Midfielder Nathan Foley could muster only a dozen possessions as he strives to play against the Blues after being a controversial omission from the finals defeat last year.

The Tigers led by 33 points early in the third term before being run down through the heroics of Chris Judd, Nick Duigan, Bryce Gibbs and Marc Murphy.

The Tigers and Blues will this year be unable to call on a number of reinforcements as they strive to avoid a 0-2 start to the season.

Small forward Chris Knights was excellent at VFL level with 24 touches, and could be considered after a number of games back from what Damien Hardwick has described as a “car crash” of a knee injury.

The Blues will also have to dig themselves out of their Round 1 hole without former captain Judd, who lit up the MCG in the third-quarter of last year’s blockbuster final.

He is considered likely to play in Round 3 but isn’t yet ready after achilles surgery.

Likewise, Andrew Carrazzo (calf) and ex-Brisbane recruit Sam Docherty (knee) are another week away.

The Blues will need to replace defender Andrew Walker, suspended for slinging Port Adelaide’s Angus Monfries into the Etihad Stadium fence.

Blues football manager Andrew Mackay said last week Judd was still a week away, but Dennis Armfield (knee) could face a fitness test.

“He’s (Judd’s) running now and will be training late this week or early next week, so we’re confident he will be ready for the match against Essendon.”

So a Richmond move then?

Just let Thomas do the hard stuff. No point rushing him back, he's had no run-time basically. Will do more harm than good.
