Changes for next week vs Suns?

[Yeahright]

We will shuffle the deck chairs & yes - I've heard the Titanic joke, thanks. 
The decision on who to upgrade for Morris is far more interesting!  Like for like or do we go for something new?  Marcon & Moore are the like for like choice & neither of them offer much, the left field option is to upgrade Mabior Chol! 
Upgrading Chol puts the heat on both Vickery & Griffiths for the tall forward/ruck position, two birds with one stone!  Griff will miss a couple with an ankle sprain (stretcher case for a rolled ankle?) & Vickery hasn't been putting it all on the line all year!  Putting the big black cat among the pigeons could only be a good thing!  We might find an exciting player, or at least make two flat liners a bit more desperate to keep their spot!   

How are mids (or if you meant C.Moore then key position player) a like for like swap with a small defender?

[the claw]

Conca for Morris play him across h/b
Elton for Chaplin that is if he is fit.
Menadue for Pea heart Ellis.
Chol Or McBean for Griffiths
C Moore for the other big pea heart in Vickery.
Grimes for Batchelor.

Would like to see a few more changes but we will be lucky to get three changes yet alone the 6 mentioned above.
The club has always been big on denial but sheesh they have their heads so far up each others backsides they have lost the way out.

[Lozza]

Its going to be so funny when Hardwick makes his so-called changes on Thursday night. Expect the same old recycled gumbies to come in for one week and then after the bye he will reinstate any of his pets that against his better judgment he may finally drop this week.

Not expecting anything outside the square on the selection table, its not the Richmond way.

[DCrane]

'Awareness' of a hamstring is still a hammy. It's just that Grimes' brain is now familiar with it and he detected it early, still a week or 2 you'd think.

Disgusting that we got smashed so badly in the tackles when North had the ball all night.

yep but not surprising. There was an article somehwere yesterday which listed where we have ranked in terms of tackles the last 6 years and the best result was 13th. I know the club will trot out their BS line total number doesnt matter its all about how it compares vs yur opposition but those stats paint a pretty damning picture. 6 years straight in the bottom 4-5 for tackles tells you something about our football philosophy!

You won't see those 6 changes because Chol and C Moore are rookies

What is to stop the club promoting at least one of them for morris.  Promote Moore play McBean. its still  6 changes.

[Diocletian]

Clubs can promote another rookie after round 11 or 12 anyway can't they?

You can do this?
Promote rookies if someone gets a long term injury?
Wow!
Maybe Chol or Moore could play??

[Stalin]

Yeh maybe .,,

RICHMOND

Changes will be made after the Tigers' 70-point loss to North Melbourne and Reece Conca will likely be the first cab off the rank after recovering from another hamstring injury. The forgotten Tiger has played three good games in the VFL and racked up 34 possessions to all but lock himself in for Sunday's clash against Gold Coast.

The Tigers will likely make multiple changes and Jason Castagna and Connor Menadue are options to cover injured defender Steven Morris (knee).

If tall forward Ben Griffiths (ankle) is not passed fit, Liam McBean could get his chance. The Tigers may, however, decide that rookies Mabior Chol or Callum Moore are more deserving of a chance.

Hard-nosed recruit Jacob Townsend has not played since round five but is throwing himself into the contest at VFL level.

First-year forward Oleg Markov is another option and could make his debut if the Tigers take an aggressive youth policy from this round on.

I'd like to see the missed tackles stat, our inability to stick tackles is embarrassing

13th, i'm surprised we are so high. It's not just the lack of tackles though, we never tackle with intent, other teams always seem to get arms free and get the ball out.

This is so true.
