In the Mix - Round 9Sarah Black

14 May 2019RICHMONDGet them in: Father-son selection Patrick Naish is knocking the door down to make his debut, finishing with 29 disposals and four goals while playing on the wing in the VFL. Draftee Riley Collier-Dawkins is another building strong VFL form, while Dan Butler was the travelling emergency and didn't play VFL.
Under the pump: Richmond is so injury-ravaged at the minute, it's unlikely anyone will make way due to a lack of form. Connor Menadue could once again be the unlucky one to give way for Nick Vlastuin, despite showing poise playing further up the ground. Damien Hardwick has indicated Ryan Garthwaite will now have a run in the ones.
Medical room: Yet another brutal week on the injury front for the Tigers, with Toby Nankervis (adductor) and Jack Ross (ankle) set for long stints on the sidelines. In better news, Vlastuin (ankle) and Daniel Rioli (soreness) are likely to return.
Verdict: It's Ivan Soldo time, with the big man set to add to his eight games by coming in for Nankervis. Rioli for Ross (and some switching of the magnets with Jack Higgins and Liam Baker set to spend more time in the middle), while Menadue may be desperately unlucky to miss for Vlastuin
