In the Mix - Round 3Sarah Black

2 April 2019RICHMONDGet them in: Draftee midfielder Jack Ross impressed in the VFL for the second week in a row, finishing with 30 disposals in a practice match against Collingwood. Ryan Garthwaite finished his second VFL game with ice on a corked thigh, while key position player Noah Balta was omitted from the AFL side with an eye on giving him a few games in defence before bringing him back into the ones.
Under the pump: Half-back flanker Oleg Markov struggled in his first AFL game since 2017, thrown forward in the last term and playing out of the goalsquare. The forward who he swapped positions with, Mav Weller, also had a very quiet game.
Medical room: Three-time Coleman medallist Jack Riewoldt will miss at least four weeks after injuring his wrist, but has escaped surgery. Hard-running defender Bachar Houli will miss a second week with a hamstring strain.
Verdict: Key forward Callum Moore has traditionally been the next goalkicker in the side and should come in for Riewoldt. Markov may make way if Richmond want an additional tall defender in Garthwaite.
