Changes for the St Kilda game

RICHMOND

ON THE BLOCK: Ben Lennon is the obvious candidate but it’s hard to judge him after he only took the sub vest off with 10min to go. The man he replaced, Jake Batchelor, is on the fringe while Shaun Grigg has just been OK since coming back into the side. Nathan Foley had 21 disposals but might be in danger with some talent coming back.

ON THE CUSP: Reece Conca is available after serving his two-match suspension and Dan Jackson made a comeback from injury in the VFL at the weekend, collecting 14 disposals and spending plenty of time on the bench; he might need another week. Sam Lloyd (22 disposals, two goals) and Matt Dea (27 disposals) were the standouts at the lower level while Liam McBean booted two goals - he could be a chance if the Tigers stack their forward line in the hope of a big percentage boost against St Kilda.

AL PATON’S FORECAST: Another incredible win and another weekend of results in other games falling the Tigers’ way. Special mention to Steven Morris who has copped a few whacks in the Barometer this season but played his best game of the year against Eddie Betts. All the talk is now of a mini elimination final against Sydney in Round 23 but that only happens if Richmond gets over St Kilda - which will surely happen, but they can’t take their eye off the ball - and North Melbourne defeats Adelaide in Hobart. Go Roos.

In:

Conca, Jackson

Out:

Lennon, Grigg

Was Batchelor that bad? Was Newman that bad? Only the give-away-goal to
Eddie was all i can recall ...

Surely a half fit Jackson would do a better tagging job than Grigg?

Harsh on Lennon, but Conca as that extra midfielder would be handy!

Ricky Petterd, his biggest problem is his disposal! courageous YES, but poor skills!

[eliminator]

Grigg went to Sloane a fair bit too.

Notably both Smith and Sloane had no impact on the game. But I'm not convinced that was due to Grigg.

Grigg started on Sloane.

Lennon will be a spud there I said it

  How dare you

[Stripes]

Lennon will be a spud there I said it

Just a little early to call I would think. Looks like he has all the attributes of a ready made CHF/Midfielder. Very similar to the role Lids is currently playing.

Sure you said it, anyone can say anything on the internet, doesn't mean it's true.

My dog has three tails and is only days away from developing a new version of string theory! There I said it..

Lennon will be a spud there I said it

The only thing Im worried about is his leg speed, looks very slow.. hopefully its just that he hasnt adjusted to the tempo of afl so looks slower than he actually is

People I spoke to who watch his tac club said he's best kick since Buckley

Kick to set up Martin's final goal was pretty handy off one step.

Midfielder Reece Conca has served his two-game suspension for striking Giant Devon Smith and should make an immediate return for Sunday's clash against St Kilda. Club champion Dan Jackson will work his way back into the team before the end of the season, but this might not be the week after he was managed in his VFL return. Jackson, who had missed three games with a glute injury, had 14 possessions in the state league. Aaron Edwards pushed his case to earn a call up, spending time at both ends of the ground and kicking three goals. Young forward Liam McBean wasn't as prolific as he has been over the past month, but he still hit the scoreboard with two goals and his form stacks up over a sustained period. Sam Lloyd (two goals and 22 possessions) and Matt Dea (27 possessions) were others to throw their names up.

Conca should come straight in for Lennon unless there is an injury we are unaware of. Grigg or Foley as sub.
