2 players coming back from injury and 1 with a 5 day break from a vfl game.

will we risk it?

I think more likely butler to have another week or 2 off

Lambert is arguably our fittest player. We’ve all seen him run all game does it week in week out. He’s apparently been at full training so won’t be any trouble for him to play.

Butler hasn’t the same amount of stamina as Lambert but I’d like to see him play maybe plays half a game on Saturday. He’s also supposedly had 2 weeks of full training.

B Ellis needs to go. Too soft.
Conca isn’t a finals player. Needs to go.

I’d be happy to see how that team performed. No Ellis, No Conca, No excuses!
The club that keeps giving.

If you think Broad will get dropped through form, you have rocks in your head.
Same goes for McIntosh.

I’m preying Bellis and Conca make way for Lambert and Lloyd for the first final as both are much better footballers than the first two.

I would give Butler a full game of VFL footy before even considering him for any final.

Thursday night is BS too.

In: butler, lambert
Out: Ellis, Conca

Totally agree. Both Ellis and Conca were poor against the Dogs.

I have a sinking feeling that somehow Conca will get a game
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Gez Lloyd is killing it in vfl and hasn't put a foot wrong in afl.I reckon he comes in gives us a bit more class and skill.I thought I will never say that.

Townsend done for the year with a fractured ankle, having surgery this afternoon.

8-10 week recovery, was probably unlikely to come in though I think.

Dont think any player that wasnt named in the round 22 game where it felt like they were resting players with the slightest of niggles and giving players who may be considered in case of injury/poor form to our best 22 were likely to come in for finals. Still sucks for our vfl finals campaign though that towners will miss.

I was wondering whether it would come down to Townsend vs Higgins for one of the places but Townsend's injury has put an end to that. Butler and Lambert must come in. Ellis and Conca are the two most at risk of being dropped.

And straight into the smut. Life's been interesting and hasn't allowed much time for the forum lately but don't you worry, I've been enjoying each Richmond win :clapping

Tom Brown on Ch 7 arvo news says Lambert and Butler are unlikely to play in the VFL if they are to play in the AFL QF. So the Richmond match committee has a tough decision on its hands on whether to pick them.
