If cotch is rested then bring in RCD for his debut finally.

Outs:
Soldo - the Worst rucking performance I’ve ever seen!
Cotchin - managed
Higgins - played Castagna’s role didn’t pressure enough - 2 pressure acts & 1 tackle isn’t good enough
Ross - rest (not a great game)

Ins:
Callum Coleman-Jones - lets have a good look before Nank comes back.
Josh Caddy
Riley Collier-Dawkins - lets have a look
Graham - give him another shot

*Lucky - Eggmolesse-Smith.
The club that keeps giving.

4 changes to a side that beats a top 2 side in their hometown by 7 goals. Interesting

Players will be managed and Cotchin won't play...club has already said as much... :shh

Cotchin "flagged for a rest"

FoxFooty's Jon Ralph says captain Trent Cotchin is "flagged for a rest" for the Tigers' next game against Port Adelaide on Saturday.

Josh Caddy is among the players in the mix to return, while Dion Prestia and Bachar Houli are two or three weeks away.

We’ve got four days to back up against the top team.
Clearly as we witnessed last night, Soldo is running on fumes and needs a rest. He was rubbish. If CCJ isn't available then Nank would have to replace him as that was the worst rucking performance I’ve ever seen.
Higgins was poor up forward and didn’t apply the appropriate pressure we are known for.
Ross is a shadow of his own self he’s not up to standard at the minute.
Cotchin is going to be rested. Graham - He's had a rest and he needs return to his tackling best. Caddy and anyone else that can apply pressure and lay a bone crunching tackle.

Port are quintessential down hill skiers. Apply enough pressure and they will crumble.
This weeks mandate should be smash the ball carrier they will crumble like a bar of Cadbury’s Flake.
The club that keeps giving.

Just depends who needs a rest. Cotch is the only obvious one. Soldo is out on form if anyone else is available. This is a pretty crucial game and with a long rest next week I wouldn't be Bulk resting for the sake of it.

Cotch only played 72% game time and 67% the week before.  Other than the flight time I can't see why he couldn't play.
I dont think you can expect Nank to come straight back in after 5 weeks out either.

Winning the last 2 has certainly taken the pressure off but we need to keep a strong team in against P.A
