This

or now, they face having to right the ship without Deledio, Maric, Grimes, Chris Yarran and Reece Conca.

Yarran hasn't even played with the club and Conca is out Injured every season and then comes back to run around like a Mong for,a,few games.

Caracella and Balmey.

Tigers ruckman Ivan Maric is expected to return after missing the first month of the season battling a back complaint.

Maric played in the VFL last week and would come in handy against athletic Eagles big man Nic Naitanui.

He will be destroyed by Nic Nat. Just like last year. Can't anyone remember at the club? :banghead

In the Mix: Round 4
Nathan Schmook
AFL.com.au
12 April 2016


RICHMOND

The Tigers have strong-bodied midfielders Adam Marcon (24 disposals and eight clearances) and Andrew Moore (24 and 15 tackles) performing at VFL level if they opt for mature bodies against West Coast this week. The hurdle for that pair, however, would be overcoming a five-day break before Friday night's match.

The short break will likely keep ruckman Ivan Maric out of the senior team for one more week after he returned from a back injury through the VFL at the weekend.

Rookie Jason Castagna deserves an opportunity at AFL level more than any of the Tigers' untried players and was arguably the Tigers' best in the VFL. He was thrown on-ball against Williamstown on Sunday and asked to provide pressure with a view to playing a similar role at AFL level. He finished with nine tackles and seven clearances, kicking a classy goal on the run from 45m.

These two in;

Adam Marcon
24 disposals, 16 contested possessions, eight clearances

Adam continued his good form at this level. He led the team in clearances with eight, just driving out of contests. He’s really important for us and he’s ready for AFL opportunity when it presents.

Andrew Moore
24 disposals, 15 tackles, 16 contested possessions, seven clearances

Andrew played his best game for the club with 24 disposals, 15 tackles and seven clearances and also the way he went about it. He played as that big-bodied, strong midfielder and was important to us winning clearances on the day. It was a really good performance from him.

Moore's a hack and Marcon's still on the rookie list.

Moore will fit right in then. Upgrade Marcon for Dedelio or Yarran..

TBH I would give the Bean Bag some specific instructions, say you've got 8 games in a row and your KPI's will be monitored throughout.

Then either keep or discard. No good keeping him if we don't play him.

Not that I think it's fully justified but Griffiths has had a lean period of a lot of injuries when he first started
