Dimma confirmed Butler out, wont play vfl either.

Lambert will play, you would think one of Bellis/Conca comes out.

Tiger on ice as he runs out of time for final

PREMIERSHIP forward Dan Butler has run out of time to press his case for Thursday night's clash with Hawthorn, with Richmond deciding he won't play at any level this weekend.

However, coach Damien Hardwick confirmed the Tigers would be bolstered by the return of midfielder Kane Lambert for the qualifying final at the MCG.

Butler hasn't played an AFL match since round 16 because of an ankle injury, but did play a half of a VFL qualifying final on Saturday night.

Hardwick said Butler would train this weekend instead of playing in the Tigers' VFL semi-final against Essendon on Saturday, in a bid to boost his fitness.

The Tigers completed a short captain's run at Punt Road on Wednesday morning, with Ryan Garthwaite, Sam Lloyd and Connor Menadue part of the extended squad.

Lambert trained and will be named on Wednesday night after last playing in round 21.

Either Butler's ankle is still not right or perhaps we don't want him playing at North Port Oval which can be a bog?


You'd presume now there will be only one change. Lambert in for one of Ellis, Higgins or Broad (don't see the latter being dropped though).

More than a few people suspected Ellis might be in the gun so it's not really an "intersting" omission though is it?  :shh

no surprise with bellis being dropped. Its been done before this year.

His performance against the dogs was putrid
