From Foxsports:

TIGERS

B: M.Pickett, D.Grimes, N.Balta

HB: L.Baker, D.Astbury, J.Short

C: D.Prestia, T.Cotchin, K.Lambert

HF: J.Aarts, S.Bolton, J.Castagna

F: T.Lynch, D.Martin, J.Riewoldt

FOLL: T.Nankervis, K.McIntosh, J.Caddy

I/C: D.Rioli, N.Broad, J.Graham, S.Edwards

In: Cotchin
Out: Vlastuin (inj), Ross (sub)

Team Tips: Richmond will get a big boost when captain Trent Cotchin returns to the team after being a late withdrawal due to illness. Marlion Pickett was his replacement and played across half back, which could prompt the Tigers to keep the two-time premiership player in the team to replace the injured Nick Vlastuin (knee). Jack Ross impressed in his burst as the medical sub, which could see the Tigers bring him into the 22 at the expense of another player such as Josh Caddy.

In the mix, R2: Who's pushing for selection, who's under the pump?

Damien Hardwick said last week that Bachar Houli would be close to selection in round two after ramping up his return from his lingering calf injury. That would give the Tigers a readymade replacement for Nick Vlastuin if the three-time flag winner doesn't get up for his knee injury he suffered in last week's season-opener against Carlton. Or, with Trent Cotchin coming back into the line-up after illness last week, the Tigers could send Marlion Pickett to half-back and structure their side that way.

R1 medical sub: Jack Ross (replaced Vlastuin)

Verdict: Cotchin for Vlastuin.

How the f is Houli a replacement for Vlastuin. The former is a squib and the other leads from the front. Ones basically a reciever the other a bloke who competes and reads the play and doesnt need team mates to constantly get it out to him to get a bit of ball.
The real question is, is there another player on the list who plays like Flossy who can come in. The honest answer is no.

Baker still a big concern size a real issue many times last night.
Caddy lol continues to be gifted games. Rioli ah to have a famous name only reason he continues to get games imo.

Lastly if we dont have a better option for the wing than fumbles McIntosh then we are in strife.

Changes well depends on injury and suspensions.

Someone is coming out for cotchin for sure, for me that would be Rioli. The other thing id like to see is maybe RC-D finally be given a game in place of Caddy and somewhere along the line sooner than later  we get some games into a tall or two.


What to make of this post. Baker is part of the best back 6 in the comp. He doesn't need to be taller (although he constantly puts his body on the line in the hole) as he mops up and delivers amazing offence.
Caddy is solid and you must not really watch games closely enough to see what Rioli delivers during games. Regards to fumbles, his ability to runs the arcs makes him very valuable to how we play.
My tip would be to start looking at all the positives as there are many :shh
So you didnt see Baker brushed aside on numerous occasions  i suggest its not me who needs to open his eyes.
On thursday a poor part of bakers game was his inability to stay in a contest constanly being brushed aside in tackles. But hey he did everything else right so we shouldnt critique what he did poorly. Yep it sums up blinkered ferals.

Lol Caddy is ordinary i make no apologies for your blindness or more likely one eyed blinkered outlook on the hack.
My tip would be to start looking at everything which includes the bad and not focusing on what you think they do well  :wallywink

This is literally the complete opposite to the ethos of the club now which the players and coaches have preached non stop to have been the driving force in leading us to 3 flags.

Would need to roll players back like we did in last year's GF when Floss went down. IIRC Kmac was pushed back into defence and the rest of the back six adjusted accordingly. Grimes most likely would takeover Floss' intercepting role.

Broad can do the Vlastuin role.

Grimes, Astbury and Balta tall backs.

Baker and Short smalls/rebound.

No problem!

This is literally the complete opposite to the ethos of the club now which the players and coaches have preached non stop to have been the driving force in leading us to 3 flags.

I 100% disagree. This from another poster, juss on the Daniel Rioli thread  on big footy, best sums up what i want to say.
It went like this.

I am always surprised people think that every player doesn't have significant development areas that they are being asked to work on with the coaches.
This is professional sports every player would have focus areas, From Dusty down to the rookie picks.

I'm very sure Rioli's would be more than to just run around and pressure act. end quote

How can anyone disagree with something that is so logical and clearly happens.
You think players haven't improved areas of their games and that the club doesn't ask for it. Unbelievable.

Just to finish up here are some of the criticisms i have read on three different tiger sites this week and it seems the majority are saying it.
Poor contested player, soft, Never gets to the right spots, doesnt get to the drop of ball, No intensity, low disposals, second to the ball which pumps up his pressure acts, Limp armed tackles and on it goes.

The main response from his defenders has been oh i trust the match committee they know best. Know one knows what the match committee think but im pretty sure they do have key improvement areas for each player.
I think the match committee is doing what it has always done with Rioli and that is give him heaps of time hoping he can improve in certain areas. For me right atm he is keeping others out of games and does not deserve his spot.

Rioli has been dropped several times before for just these type of things,  he has lasted inordinate amounts of time in the team  before the selectors bit the bullet. unfortunately Rioli has usually only been dropped for a week before getting his spot back not having shown that hes worked on anything and improved in areas. That continues to show.

My opinion atm is if he was dropped he would not be missed one little bit. That he does have areas he needs to significantly improve in.

Yeah just what is the club doing....going nowhere fast persisting with these glass half-full types...been nearly six whole months since we last won a flag and they're still just sitting on their hands...... :banghead

Dimma today said Floss won't be back yet.

There will be 1-2 changes to the side.

Houli will come back via the VFL.

Ross won't be the sub again. He'll also get some 'development time' in the VFL.

Here's the actual quotes:

"Nick (Vlastuin) won't come in, he won't play. Bachar Houli is probably a guy we could probably push but he hasn’t played any minutes at game level," Hardwick said on Thursday.

"He's another player we’ll push through the VFL, there might be a couple of changes."

"Jack Ross has been a sub for the past two weeks, so he'll go and play some development minutes. Someone will come in, there'll be at least one change," Hardwick said.
