Changes for next week against the Roos?

[WilliamPowell]

MJ escaping scrutiny, 3 touches

Least of our problems

His defensive pressure was excellent again. Got ignored a few times when he was free by a couple of blokes who were selfish

[Knighter]

Out: Dimma and the arrogance, Farts and Cantstandya
In: A new culture and attitude. 

[Knighter]

Out: Lynch, Nankervis, Soldo, Aarts, Castagna, Dow

In: Gibcus, Balta, Vlastuin, Dusty, Cotchin, Lambert

If any or multiple of the last 3 aren’t fit then bring in the 3 best kids from the vfl tomorrow and no that doesn’t mean picking recycled senior players i.e. Parker.

Balta to be primary ruck, rotating with Gibcus through the fwd line.

VFL have a bye this week 

Of all the  weeks 

Probably good as it avoids anymore injuries. They would have had to rest Ryan anyway

[one-eyed]

Cotch unlikely and Balta still another week away according to Jon Ralph just now on Fox Footy.

The original plan was to have Balta back for the Norf game. Maybe he's had a setback?

Big injuries force Tigers to call on raw ruckman.

They [Richmond] have no known ruck available and might have to fashion a Marlion Pickett (very good again on a wing) as first ruck next week. Suddenly, North next week is a danger game, given the way the Roos played on Saturday.

In deference to a poster from another forum, I'm going with,

Out: Castagna

In: Play with 21.

[lamington]

Do we risk broad in the ruck? Didn’t he pinch hit there in 2021 and was actually serviceable? But if Balta is also unavailable I guess it’s Ryan. But speaking of ruck, what’s mate Colina doing next weekend?

It must be Ryan to come in. Has been playing first ruck all year in the VFL and performing ok. I would play Miller as the second ruck this week.

[Chuck17]

We will lose the ruck anyway, may as well throw another midfielder in there

[The Machine]

Still require a few tall players to contest in the air, and be the target down the line when we need an outlet long kick.

[pmac21]

Just play Ryan.  He's raw but big and can take a mark. 

[MaccaDacca]

Just to rub salt in the wound they'll probably bring in the 'Marvel specialist' Matt Parker this week.

[WilliamPowell]

Just play Ryan.  He's raw but big and can take a mark.

It's a given he will play; only ruck we have available

Who we use to give him a chop out is the big question

Even if Balta plays; doubt they will risk playing him much in the ruck

[MaccaDacca]

Might be a Samson/Miller combo with Gibcus back in defence
