RICHMOND

Half-forward Ben Lennon has kicked 14 goals in his past five VFL games and deserves an opportunity in a forward line that has been dangerous but lacks marking power. The 21-year-old has been in the frame for a number of weeks and is a strong overhead mark for a medium-sized player.

The Tigers' other option in attack is to recall Ivan Soldo who offers ruck support but has gone goalless in his two senior games.

Nick Vlastuin is expected to be fit after four matches sidelined with a shoulder injury.

The Tigers had a bye in the VFL, but Corey Ellis (30 possessions and a goal), Anthony Miles (34), Oleg Markov (26) were all strong performers in their most recent hit-outs at state-league level.

I don't see us making any changes tonight. If we had a decent KPF/2nd ruck to bring in we would with the Swans playing two rucks but we don't. Dry day expected on Saturday so you'd expect Dimma and co. to stick to speed as the winning formula and try to expose the Swans older mids especially on the expanses of the MCG.

As you predicted no changes made to the team.

Lennon in the bests every week in the VFL....Lloyd stinks it up three weeks running.  No changes. #consistentstandards #rewardingeffort

[tony_montana]

Lloyd is a very lucky man - not only hasnt had an impact last 3 weeks, but workrate has been questionable at best. Lennon stiff and perhaps verifies the rumour that the coaches have told him he is not suited to our style of game and therefore wont get a run.

[Diocletian]

Yes - actually takes marks, has good disposal and kicks straight - clearly doesn't suit the gameplan....

Would find it extraordinary, even by our club's idiotic standards, if our coaches actually told a young player that with half a season still to go....

[georgies31]

Lennon should be in Loyld  been poor last 3 games effort and also selfish play at times .I wanted him in but gave us nothing .He has been performing at vfl Lennon so need to reward him.

Sore Dusty to be given until final minute

HOLD your breath, Richmond fans.

Dustin Martin was seen leaving the training track early on Thursday, fuelling speculation he could be in some doubt for Saturday’s clash against Sydney.

While that is long odds, back issues aren’t ideal.

Martin is set to be tagged by Swan George Hewett, who helped shut-out Bulldogs star Jason Johanissen last week.

Aiming for a top-four finish, the Tigers need “Dusty” at 100 per cent against a Sydney team who stormed back into finals contention with the big win over the Bulldogs.

Interesting that Sydney go into this game with less talls than us just 5 . They have named just one tall defender in Grundy so i wonder if it would be worthwhile playing someone like McIntosh fwd.

In saying that we would still be the shorter team overall  with half the team being short players, Prestia, Edwards, Rioli, Butler, B Ellis, Houli, Castagna, Lambert, Short,Bolton, Lloyd.

Tom Browne on Ch 7 news tonight said the Club told him Dusty is fine and will play.

I would try McIntosh at CHF most definitely.

Play Dusty one out in the goal square for long periods and see if this little minnow tags him then.
