Couldn't be f@gged thinking about it.  No point.  Hardwick has shown his hand as a protector of favourites and has no intention of developing the side with the future in mind.  I know what should happen but that matches exactly what won't happen.

The Barometer - Round 14
Herald-Sun
16 June 2014


RICHMOND

ON THE BLOCK: Shaun Hampson had only two kicks (and one of them is right up there with the worst of the season) but it’s hard to find too many other obvious candidates. Ben Lennon provided some spark after starting as the sub (replacing Dylan Grimes), Nick Vlastuin had one of his poorer games and Jake Batchelor and Aaron Edwards were serviceable.

ON THE CUSP: Matt Thomas is available after serving his one-match suspension and Jackson, Grigg and Conca are all a chance to return. The usual suspects pushed their case at VFL level with Matt Arnot, Brett O’Hanlon and Brad Helbig among the best. Sam Lloyd kicked two goals and Liam McBean three in his return game from a broken finger.

AL PATON’S FORECAST: Warning Tiger fans - do not look at the ladder today. Wins by the Bulldogs and Demons have pushed the Tigers to 15th, an unimaginable position at the start of the season. The positives are the effort was much better against Freo even if the execution was lacking, and Richmond won most stats categories including contested possessions and 14 more inside-50s. But that just highlights how the game was there to be won and the Tigers couldn’t do it. Sydney on Friday night doesn’t offer any respite but the fixture looks a little friendlier after that with matches against St Kilda and Brisbane.

RICHMOND
Midfielder Reece Conca is considered a strong chance to return from a groin injury in Friday night's clash against the Sydney Swans. The 21-year-old needs to get through training this week to secure his spot after missing two matches. Midfielder Matt Thomas has served his one-match suspension and can be considered for selection. The Tigers will need to look to the VFL if they make further changes, with Matt McDonough among those pushing for selection after being named as an emergency last week. Midfielder Matt Arnot (29 possessions and nine tackles) is in good form, with Brett O'Hanlon (two goals and 20 possessions) also getting closer to senior selection.

Grimes should make way with hampson, both struggling big time and not up to senior standard
