Think Dimka needs to get up to date with border restrictions

Edwards is in Melbourne. Melbourne is deemed medium risk. So you can only enter WA with an exemption and that includes 14 days of quarantine

So not sure how Edwards can play  :-\

The Tigers flew up the injured Shane Edwards from a locked-down Melbourne on Sunday, giving the silky midfielder every last opportunity to continue his ankle rehab at home, and he is "highly probable" to make his return next week.

Out:

- Castagna (yep I've finally given up on ya mate)
- Caddy (am a fan but the game has passed you)
- Hugo (unlucky due to 2.0 but honestly 7 touches and 0 tackles in a game we dominated possession and won tackles)
In:

- Edwards (more mids = more Bolton forward)
- Pickett (mid/wing. Good footballer, needs a permanent role)
- Stack (if he's ready)
- MRJ (replace cousin as sub, come on in the 3rd for a 'sore' Nank or similar BS excuse)

At a guess Edwards and Pickett will come in but at whose expense I am not sure.

If Astbury is  fit we play him if not then Miller imo.

Reckon Essendon are pretty tall up forward. Hooker 198/103, Stewart 198/95, Jones 194 ?. Stringer 192/95.

Pickett and Edwards will play for sure. so  the outs would have to be Castagna fmd he just has to go. Caddy still as slow as a glacier and last sorry Hugo but you have not had a lot of the pill time to take away what you have learnt and put it into practice when the vfl starts up.If not Hugo then see ya Bachar.

With no VFL do we take the approach of ensuring a player like Stack / Dow gets game time and that would apply to any other player on the fringe.

Hmm assuming there is no Astbury.Something like this

FB/ Grimes - Miller - Broad
HB/ Short - Balta - Vlastuin

R/ Nankervis - Cotchin - Prestia
C/ Pickett - Bolton  - McIntosh

HF/ Baker - Riewoldt - Edwards
FF/ Aarts - CC-J - Martin

Int/ RC-D - Graham - Chol - Dow/Houli/Ralphsmith/ Caddy/Stack  last spot to one of these blokes

Caddy had a good game imho, most possessions of any Richmond Player, maybe but it would be surprise to me

Each to their own but I just don’t get the logic of bringing Pickett straight back in just like I wouldn’t get the logic if they brought Rioli straight back in.

He looks his best as an inside mid but with our whole midfield brigade back I can’t see him getting any game time there. As an outside player either at half back or wing he just constantly misses targets by both hand and foot.
