RICHMOND

Get them in: A host of top-tier players – Trent Cotchin, Shane Edwards, David Astbury, Ivan Soldo and possibly Kane Lambert – are good chances to return this week, depending on whether they get through training. The VFL team had a bye in line with the AFL side, but Shai Bolton was in good form during the side's last game.

Under the pump: After playing every game this year, Jack Higgins may be in line for a run in the VFL after a few quiet performances. Daniel Rioli was subdued for three terms but had a sparky last quarter in the middle, while Connor Menadue falls behind several returning players.

Medical room: A bye round means no additional injuries at Punt Road. Jayden Short is a chance to return after dislocating his elbow in round three, but after a long stint on the sidelines he is more likely to come back through the VFL.

Verdict: Change is coming. Soldo to come in for Mabior Chol, who was lively forward but struggled in the ruck. Ryan Garthwaite to make way for Astbury, while Edwards could take Menadue's spot. Cotchin for Higgins, while Dan Butler could make way for Lambert, if fit.

Cotch on Ch 7 news tonight said he is a certain starter. Hammy stronger than it ever should be [OE: touchwood].

Mark Stevens said we'll have 5 inclusions against the Saints: Cotch, Edwards, Astbury, Lambert and Soldo.

Short will return this weekend via the VFL.

We spent the bye period at a Queensland retreat.

Cotch said the upcoming weeks are a real opportunity.

Think you misheard that bit 

Cotch went the QLD retreat

Everyone went their separate ways. Though some guys went to Darwin for a few days to fish and hunt

What don’t you like about Short?

He had a cracking year last year.
Top 10 in the B&F from memory in a side that finished top.
Beautiful kick, kicks goals, smart and has genuine speed.

I’m looking forward to seeing him and Sydney Stack off halfback.

When we were up and about at 7-3 I questioned where short fit into the team with stack doing so well and bach and shedda providing the run from the back half. Think bringing short back in will free Edwards to go back to his mid/fwd role where we have severely missed his creativity.

[the claw]

Why drop Chol and why cant both Chol and Soldo play.Play Chol as the second tall fwd and he can give Soldo a rest in the ruck.

Most have Garthwaite out myself included but ffs we cant just go with Astbury as the sole KPD. Bite the bullet and play Balta at chb he is the same height as Rance at 194cm but he has some genuine size to him at 100kg.He is exactly what we need to play kpd.

Ins - Cotchin - Lambert - Bolton - Edwards - Astbury - Soldo
Out - Higgins - Ellis - Baker - Butler - Garthwaite - Menadue.

FB/ Stack - Astbury - Grimes.
HB/ Vlaustin - Balta - Houli

C/ Lambert - Martin - Bolton

What don’t you like about Short?

The same things you don't like about Ellis & Houli.

His kicking is massively overrated too. shh

[Willy]

Well he was #1 in the comp for meters gained last year so at least he moves it forward.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Well said Willy. At least he takes risks with his kicks and they don’t often go backwards or side wards.......

[Diocletian]

You're confusing taking risks with fear & panic,,,,

[WilliamPowell]

You're confusing taking risks with fear & panic.....

Aftrr being there the day he discolated his elbow you could not accuse Short of being fearful or panicked

[Diocletian]

Not the same thing. #thatonetimeinbandcamp
