Changes for next week

[lamington]

Promote chol for nank. As much as I am grateful for his service and carrying the ruck during our 3 finals runs Maric has no leap left so purely on athleticism I'd go Chol. Ground coverage is important for ruckmen these days.

Milo needs to come in for either Caddy or Prestia due to their form. Lloyd for Castagna

[Heart of Darkness]

Out: Morris, Castagna, Nank

In: Miles, Lloyd, Elton

Think you could play Elton in the ruck against Boyd. Not sure what his tank is like but Bulldogs aren't a particularly tall team.

[The Machine]

Out:
Nankervis
Morris
Castagna - rest

In:
Soldo
Ellis
Miles

Vlastuin Rance Grimes
Conca McIntosh B. Ellis
Grigg Caddy C. Ellis
Rioli Riewoldt Markov
Butler Martin Astbury

Soldo Cotchin Prestia

Short Houli Miles Lambert

Astbury to play second ruck. I could see Gathwaite playing this week which is the other option down back which still allows Astbury to play forward.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

If Sportsbet gave me some odds on Stevie Morris playing this weekend, I'd dump my entire (and full after jagging the Demons-Norf-saints-magpies multi) account onto him staying in the team this weekend.

[1965]

Soldo

[Knighter]

It'll be Maric. Hard wicks moves are as predictable off field as they are on it

[Diocletian]

We'll play Maric because we never elevate more than one rookie before round 12. Which is also predictable but probably more down to the club's bean counters than Halfstep.

[eliminator]

C Ellis should be given a game given his form at VFL level. Believe Hardwick will steer towards Maric as the replacement for Nank.

[one-eyed]

Meanwhile, forgotten Richmond ruckman Ivan Maric is in line to be called upon this weekend after Toby Nankervis was offered a one-match ban by the AFL’s Match Review Panel.

With last year’s No. 1 ruckman Shaun Hampson sidelined indefinitely with back issues, Maric shapes as the most likely replacement for the Tigers’ clash with Western Bulldogs on Saturday night having been solid in the VFL the past two weeks.

Maric, 31, played just three AFL games last season but lined up in two of Richmond’s three pre-season games this year.

[Fluffy Tiger]

Alot of the posts here have had Nank out and only 1 tall in. We NEED to bring in at least two talls. Running 1 ruck and Grigg as back up is a joke and was proven so last week. I know we dont have the stocks but we ran Hampton and Vickery last year. Elton, Soldo, Choi, Maric have to be at least comparable with those two spuds. Lennon needs to come in too as he plays a bit taller as well and can play that CHF roll if needed. Griff with concussion is a big loss although most wont agree with me there.

Outs  Nank, Morris, Castanga (rest), Caddy

Ins  Elton, Choi, Lennon, Miles

Like this but Chol is not ready for AFL footy so Maric should come in and Caddy deserves to stay in but needs a big game.

[Yeahright]

On principle, purely based on his inability to ever be an AFL player drop Steve Morris. Kicked out on the full from 10 metres out.

Seriously don't post rubbish
Was 40 meters out
Ran his guts out
Worse than him

Teams getting flogged and:

a young player chooses (admittedly not the right choice) to be unselfish and tries to set up a team mate for an easy goal (how Dusty set him up for his first ever goal) but unfortunately stuffs it up

Or

A more experienced player sprays a kick from 40m out to kick it out on the full

Who you drop? hmmmmm

That's the way, strive to replicate last year

If the more experienced player is a dud who has racked up a conversation with a club hanger on, then the young fella needs to be dropped
