I'd just have Chol as the number 1 ruck against Port and drop Soldo

For this week just have one ruck. Would just be like what we had last night  :lol

INS: Caddy, RCD

OUTS: Higgins, Cotchin

The Egg remains only because Bachar needs a scratch match hit out first

Port can afford to
“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.

Hardwick said Cotchin would be the only player rested.

Tigers to leave star veteran in Queensland, will miss Port clash

afl.com.au
7 August 2020


RICHMOND will leave captain Trent Cotchin in Queensland for its trip to face Port Adelaide as the Tigers  manage the veteran midfielder.

The 30-year-old, who has had a run of hamstring injuries over the past two season, is being managed through the AFL's fixture cram.

Cotchin returned from his latest soft-tissue concern to face the Western Bulldogs last Friday and followed up against the Lions on Tuesday, but will sit out the clash with the ladder-leaders.

"He won't go [to Adelaide]. He's probably the one player that we have put a bit of a plan in place in regards to his injury history with regard to his hamstring," coach Damien Hardwick said.

"He won't board the plane but he will obviously be right for nine or 10 days later."

Port going with two rucks - Lycett & Ladhams.

Justin Westhoff will be rested while Sam Mayes has been suspended.

Brad Ebert (concussion), Ryan Burton (quadriceps) and Steven Motlop (ankle) all remain at least another week away.

Any word on Shedda coming back?
Still waiting for the birth of his and his partner's child. So probably won't be back until towards the end of the H/A season.
