Why change a winning formula??????

Agreed why change a winning formula. The kids have added a new dimension to the team but it has also made selection more competitive. I know Menadue was sub and didn't touch it after he came on but he still deserves to play ahead of Newman IMHO as kids like him are our future and its not what they do or don't do right now but cementing game time for these kids for the future.

Same applies to a kid like Lennon, McBean, McDonough when they come in also.
What does Newman offer right now? Not much sadly. Alot less than the kids now and in the future.

Newman is your classic case of depth player at most right now and until his probable retirement at the end of the year. Give him a sendoff game v Gold Coast at the G in Round 20 and let the cubs roam on the G and watch them develop into a fighting fury.

No changes for me. Same 22.

The Barometer - Round 12

RICHMOND

ON THE BLOCK: Connor Menadue seems the obvious casualty after failing to trouble the stats men in Perth last week. After a bye the rest of the team that brought down Fremantle is rested and raring to go.

ON THE CUSP: Richmond’s VFL team had the bye at the weekend so there was no more chance for fringe players like Nathan Gordon, Matt Dea, Sam Lloyd and Matt Arnot to push their case but they are there if needed. The most intense discussion at match committee this week will surround Chris Newman, who got through his comeback game from injury last weekend.

AL PATON’S FORECAST: Newman for Menadue is the likely change as the Tigers try to keep their winning streak (which now stands at four) going. That won’t be easy against the Eagles on Friday night, but at least the game is at the MCG, a ground the Eagles haven’t visited since losing to Collingwood there in Round 10 last year. The three-talls forward set-up can stretch an undermanned West Coast backline and the battle between warhorse Ivan Maric and spring-heeled Nic Naitanui will be massive.

Will be one change, as above, Newman for Menadue!

From Jon Ralph in the Herald-Sun ...


Richmond football manager Dan Richardson forecasts a settled team given no injuries against Fremantle.

“We have got match committee tomorrow, but we wouldn’t expect too many changes,’’ he said.

“Newman needs a bit more continuity so he needs another game or two under his belt.

“We had a few days to freshen up and hopefully that helps but as bland as it sounds our preparation will be as consistent as possible.

“Hopefully it turns out another consistent performance on game day.”

Conca is still listed as more than a month away, with Nathan Foley out indefinitely with knee issues.

Kane Lambert (shoulder) and David Astbury (hamstring) are close to a return through the VFL.

In the Mix: Round 12

RICHMOND

After a week off to recover from their brilliant win against Fremantle, the Tigers are unlikely to make more than one change. With a settled senior line-up in top form, Richmond's VFL players will have to wait for opportunities.

Half-forward Nathan Gordon was an emergency for the Tigers' last match and he was among the VFL team's best in round eight, so he is presumably next in line.

Matt McDonough and Matt Arnot are also pushing hard after strong recent performances.

In the forward line, Sam Lloyd and Liam McBean are available but unlikely to fit in right now.

Veteran Chris Newman has recovered from a recent groin injury and could also be considered this week.

Newman. Lol.

Foley. Lmao.

We all know how it'll go down.

Newman in

Menadue/Ellis out with a fake injury to appease the masses.

[mightytiges]

IMO, there will be no changes aside from perhaps a swap of the sub with Menadue getting a full game and Corey moved to sub. Hard to bring anyone up when the VFL side didn't play last weekend either and copped a 96 hiding the week before while Newy has only played a half of VFL footy.

I think you are right

Probably just guessing but the Footy Show tonight have Dea, Elton, Gordon and McBean added to the squad.

[one-eyed]

No Newy this week. He'll play another game in the twos.

Herald-Sun implying Gordon could replace a tall forward if it's wet tomorrow night.

Needs another 10 games in the twos...
