Gibcus just had a week off so talk of a rest is premature.

Ross and Castagna?

Did you watch the VFL game?

From 7news tonight:

Dusty missed training today due to illness (not covid). So he's in a race against time to get well before Thursday night.

Edwards did little at training (in rehab according to my 'Spy') so could be in doubt but 7news said he is expected to play.

Lynch and Lambert trained fully and are both expected to play.

Don't play him if he's crook.

We did this with Astbury in 2018 PF, played him about 24hr after he got off a drip in hospital. Just a bad idea...

Richmond senior advisor Neil Balme was hopeful Martin would return on Wednesday and join teammates for a light run, ensuring he lines up at the MCG.

They expect to be boosted by the return of Tom Lynch, the forward having had three weeks to recover from an injured hamstring. Forward-midfielder Kane Lambert is a strong chance to force his way into the starting 22, having been the unused medical substitute last week.

Lambert has a chronic hip injury and the Tigers are desperate to nurse him through the season.

“That was the best thing to happen to him last week. We had him just in case and didn’t have to use him,” Balme said.

Jack Riewoldt is playing with an injured finger but continues to suit up.

In the Mix: Round 14

Richmond has an embarrassment of riches compared to some clubs' injury lists, but the two who are on it – Tom Lynch (hamstring) and Dustin Martin (illness) – will cause some selection headaches. Given Carlton's ruck depth woes, it may be the week to omit Ivan Soldo to allow Lynch's return. Kane Lambert should be first cab off the rank to replace Martin, while Marlion Pickett, Jack Ross and Jason Castanga all wait in the wings.

Verdict: Lambert and Lynch in for Martin and Soldo.

Pickett played last week, so not sure why he'd be waiting in the wings.

Anyway:

Out: Clarke, Ralphsmith, Martin
In: Lynch, Lambert, Parker

We need the bigger bodies and tackle pressure this week.

Dimma in his presser today said Bolton plus a young player (non-debutant) who will come in for balance to play Dusty's role.

So who is the young player?

[FooffooValve]

Maybe Sonsie?  Oh, non-debutante. Dow maybe.

[pmac21]

Out: Martin, Soldo
In: Lynch, Lambert

Can't drop Clarke after kicking 2

[mightytiges]

Maybe Sonsie?

It can't be Sonsie as Dimma said it's not a debutant.

Maybe Maurice Jnr?

[one-eyed]

From the training thread pics - Lynch, Lambert, Maurice & Mansell are in the squad. Ross was also in the training group today according to my 'Spy'. Also said no Dusty (obviously) & Soldo.
