Changes for next week against the Hawks?

[the claw]

Their two first choice ruckmen are injured Reeves and McEvoy. I could understand if they were fit and playing but they arent.
Nankervis is first picked every week so if Soldo plays he needs to give a bit more than just a few hit outs. Atm thats about all we are really getting from Soldo. Imo this week there is not a need to play him horses for courses as they say.

Unlike most id like us to play Balta fwd and second ruck.

Think they will go with the following

Scrimshaw - Hartigan/DG-B - Hardwick
Sicily - Frost - Day

Impey - O'Meara - Nash
Lynch - Newcombe - Mitchell

Bruest - Koschitzke - Wingard
Gunston - Lewis - Moore

Shiels - Worpel - Ward - Maguiness - Morrison - McDonald.

Tiger cub to miss but star duo set to return

Josh Gibcus enters Health and Safety protocols as Dion Prestia and Nick Vlastuin put their hands up

RICHMOND young gun Josh Gibcus will miss Saturday's game against Hawthorn after entering the AFL's health and safety protocols.

The Tigers are expected to regain Dion Prestia and Nick Vlastuin this weekend after the star pair missed last Saturday's dazzling win over Collingwood at the MCG due to illness.

Brownlow Medallist Dustin Martin has trained strongly this week after making a smooth return to the game in round eight, banking extra conditioning sessions at Punt Road as he looks to build his tank up after taking personal leave.

Off-season acquisition Robbie Tarrant is no guarantee to replace Gibcus in Richmond's back six, despite being available for selection after playing against Port Melbourne in the VFL last weekend.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick said the 33-year-old is struggling with a lingering hip issue but is in contention to face the Hawks, along with untried rookie Bigoa Nyuon, who has been pressing for a debut in recent weeks.

"Robbie Tarrant will certainly put his hand up. We're also pleased with how 'Biggy' Nyuon is going as well. We'll look at both of those two boys today," Hardwick told reporters on Thursday.

"Robbie has a bit of a hip complaint that he's been nursing. He's an experienced campaigner and knows how to play the game. We'll have a look at both those boys."
