May 8, 2018 5:44PMRICHMONDGet them in: Trent Cotchin will come back after missing Sunday's win over Fremantle with complications from the collision knee injury he sustained the week before. Anthony Miles continues to play above VFL level while he waits for his opportunity.
Under the pump: Hard to pick unforced omissions after a 77-point win, but Jack Higgins could be due for a rest after three games in 13 days while Sam Lloyd's status as the 23rd man could see him bounced again despite a decent performance as a late inclusion against the Dockers.
Medical room: Cotchin returns but Shaun Grigg (hamstring) will likely miss again. Dion Prestia hasn't been entirely ruled out, but his calf soreness won't be taken lightly and he won't play if there's any doubt.
Verdict: Cotchin in for Prestia. Brandon Ellis played in the VFL but didn't set the world on fire, which complicates whether he deserves a recall. Toby Nankervis will likely have a rest soon and Ivan Soldo is ready if it's this week.
