The Barometer - Round 19
Herald-Sun
August 3, 2015


RICHMOND

ON THE BLOCK:
Any player would be unlucky to be dropped after what some have labelled the Tigers’ best win since the 1995 second semi-final. But forwards Sam Lloyd (starting sub) and Ben Lennon (subbed off) are most vulnerable if Shane Edwards returns. Reece Conca injected some pace in his first game for the season.

ON THE CUSP: Edwards would be a huge inclusion after three weeks out with a broken leg and if Shaun Hampson is fit, Damien Hardwick says he’s keen to play two rucks. A disappointing loss for Richmond’s second-tier side, with the highlight Liam McBean’s five goals, which moved him to the top of the VFL goalkicking ladder. Matt Thomas had 35 disposals, Matt Dea 28 and Matt McDonough 27. Chris Knights missed again for the second week in a row as the club continues to carefully manage his body in the hope of having him available for September.

AL PATON’S FORECAST: Plenty of newspaper inches have been used up already on the Tigers’’ fantastic performance, which thrust them into premiership discussions. But the win was just as valuable in shoring up a spot in the top eight. The top four now seems out of reach thanks to Sydney’s easy run home, so Richmond has to keep winning to keep pace with the Dogs and stay ahead of North Melbourne (two more teams with a pretty comfortable fixture). A win against Adelaide on Friday night would just about lock in a third straight September appearance.

Must admit Conca did seem quicker than what I remember from last year, looks like he may have slimmed down a bit.

He mentions on the club website that he's been through a mini preseason in the past 8 weeks and he is fresh.

In the mix: round 19

RICHMOND

If ruckman Shaun Hampson passes a fitness test on his injured ankle this week, he could be recalled to give the Tigers an edge against Adelaide big man Sam Jacobs. Ivan Maric is in top form, but a two-pronged ruck attack would be valuable against the Crows.

Tall forward Liam McBean will also be considered after kicking five goals for the Tigers' VFL team at the weekend. The 20-year-old has now kicked 14 goals in the past three weeks.

Other changes are unlikely, with Shane Edwards at least one more week away with a leg injury.
