Essendon should be up about after rolling Geelong and then flogging the flat trackers.....

In:
Caddy
Butler

Out:
Miles
Castagna

I would also play McIntosh as a leading CHF as IMO he struggles down back. If not forward, wing or RR.

I've quite liked mcintosh the last few weeks. Been making good decisions most of the time and hitting targets. Little bit of run as well

Thought yesterday was one of his best games for us. Decision making was sound and took some strong grabs. Has improved his tackling technique 100 fold too

He has but i worry about his ability to spoil and he runs over the top of a lot of balls when it's on the ground. Not great below his knees which concerns me for a backman. Definitely best 18 for sure.

Don't see Dimma making any surprising changes such as dropping favourites. Expecting something predictable like:

In: Elton, Caddy, Butler

Out: Soldo, Miles, Lloyd

RICHMOND

ON THE BLOCK:
Ivan Soldo came in to replace Todd Elton but had a similar impact as a key forward, taking two marks and failing to earn a shot on goal. Anthony Miles had 15 disposals but isn’t the same player he was two years ago. Jason Castagna was lively again but his set shot goalkicking has been an issue all year.

ON THE CUSP:
Josh Caddy pulled out at the last minute and should return against the Bombers, while Dan Butler will be considered after a week off — although his replacement Shai Bolton was lively. Elton might have done enough to earn a recall with three goals in the VFL while Ben Lennon kicked two to go with 18 disposals.

AL PATON’S FORECAST:
What more can we say about Saturday afternoon, and the Tigers’ past three weeks? In an alternate universe Richmond wins those three games and is a game clear on top of the ladder. In the reality we are stuck in they are just hanging on in the eight and facing a red-hot Essendon. Dreamtime at the G doesn’t get much bigger. The Tigers have won their past five against Essendon but it could come down to Alex Rance v Joe Daniher.

This (well, not sold on CHF but agree with your point). He started the year pretty poor, came back to play on the wing and was showing some form and was the only bloke who could hit a target in the F50 and they put him back in the backline ::). Losing Vlas probably forced our hand a little and it's not like McIntosh was poor to be fair but I'm sure there were other viable options

RICHMOND

The Tigers are confident midfielder Josh Caddy will be fit to take on Essendon on Saturday night after being withdrawn late against GWS because of groin soreness.

Small forward Dan Butler also pulled up from round eight with groin soreness and was not named against the Giants, but he should return, meaning at least two changes for the Tigers.

The match committee then needs to make a decision on its support ruckman, with Ivan Soldo and Todd Elton both struggling to impact games when given their chance. Soldo could be omitted to give Elton (three goals in the VFL) another chance, or the Tigers could take a new, smaller approach in the ruck, like the Western Bulldogs have. They are growing desperate, however, for an in-form tall target in attack.

Ben Lennon booted two goals in the VFL and is a likely option if the Tigers make a structural change.

Well the experts on here predicted a colonoscopy against the Bulldogs and Giants too . Turns out we are agonizingly close .
Im sure an insipid performance is just around the corner , which will make many happy .
