Changes for next week against the Saints?

[The Machine]

Yeah lets just keep dropping Cumberland after one game and wonder why he's not tearing it up. Obviously the ten goal loss was down to his inclusion. Then we can wait until after the next VFL bye to bring him back after not bringing him straight in after kicking a bag the week before that despite having no forwards. Hopefully the fourth time will be a charm.  .

It’s ok to defend a player you like but if you can’t, from a football sense identity why most don’t rate him, well that’s on you. Look, he would be a superstar in the local comp where it’s all about him. In the big league it’s about the team.

Now let's do all the plodders you constantly talk up....how about we start with the two who got less possessions combined than Cumberland did...or were they just "playing their role"?

Is one of them Fridge? a 2-time Premiership player

[Diocletian]

A premiership player you say? So just in a 3 year form slump then?

[eliminator]

INS: Martin, Cotchin, Miller, Grimes (if fit) (Mansell stays)

OUTS: Soldo, Rioli (inj), Hopper, Cumberland, Pickett

We can scratch Miller due to concussion

Bring in Sonsie

INS: Dow, Cotchin, Brown and Sonsie

OUTS: Soldo, Mansell, Hopper and Pickett

Give Martin extra week to freshen up.

[The Machine]

Grimes Balta Broad
Baker Vlastuin Short
Banks Taranto Pickett
Bolton Martin Coulthard
Mansell Riewoldt Bauer
Nankervis Ross Prestia
Ryan Sonsie Graham Brown

My team for Sunday taking into count Rioli is likely out and Hopper will be out.

[the claw]

Would not be bringing Cotchin or Grimes back in. Both have been horrible just play kids in their place.

Ins for me would be the following with reasons.

Miller -  to fb. Atm i think we need to delist him but i sure would like to get another look at what he can offer as a KPD. As such id play him in defense for the rest of the year. If any one tells me Tylar Young is the way fwd i will spew.

Cumberland - sees the rest of the year out show some faith in him tiges.

Brown - Play him off h/b and pee the soft weak as water squib in Short off.

Bauer - is versatile and as much as i would like to see us play him fwd i think hes a good replacement for Grimes.Can always swing him fwd if needed.

Banks - Stays on a wing just let him play the year out. Off season he really needs to spend time on the weights building himself up.

Clarke - Has shown promise like most of the kids he still needs size and strength. But he need to play not rot away in the magoos.

Nyuon - Similar thoughts to Miller would really like to see what he has to offer as a kpf though. Play him the rest of the season.

Ryan - Appears to be the heir apparent to Nankervis atm. Like the others play him second ruck and he does offer something fwd.End of season he too goes in a room with a carcass and pumps weights as size and strength are badly needed.

Coulthard - play him fwd the rest of the season with a few stints up field.Looks more likely than MRJ.

Sonsie -  is another we need to just get games into him. Would like to see him played the rest of the year and played to his strengths.

If ive missed a kid apologies. As called for Something close to this should have been the aim most of the year.Its a wasted year as far as im concerned.

[TigerLand]

I think Cumberland may get delisted this year. We aren't in a phase where we can carry a guy on hope and talent. We need each spot maximised and being developed.

Seems to be too much hope and unfortunately elite sport chews these stories up pretty quick if they don't evolve. I'd love to be wrong but I feel Cumberland is running out I chances in this environment.

[the claw]

Need to get the club doctor involved with Graham, Mansell, Soldo, Pickett, Young and McIntosh. It appears they have all simultaneously contracted an allergy that makes them allergic to leather.

Seems to be a a nasty phobia doing the rounds as well especially noticeable with blokes like Short that being afraid of contact.

[pmac21]

It's a tough one while we are mathematically in it.
Out - Dan Rioli, Jacob Hopper, Marlion Pickett, Kamdyn McIntosh, Rhyan Mansell, Ivan Soldo
In: Dylan Grimes, Dustin Martin, Trent Cotchin, Tyler Sonsie, Thomson Dow, Tom Brown

Don't need 2 ruckman at Marvel.  Let Nank ruck all day.
I have had enough of Pickett & McIntosh.

Team Tips:

Richmond should welcome back star veteran trio Dustin Martin (managed), Trent Cotchin (managed) and Dylan Grimes (neck) for Sunday’s must-win clash. But Jacob Hopper has already been ruled out after failing a concussion test on Friday night, while Daniel Rioli is in doubt after hurting his ankle against the Bulldogs – although the nine-day break between games will help his chances. Maurice Rioli (concussion) is another option for the Tigers. Martin’s return might make it hard for Noah Cumberland to hold his spot, while Jacob Bauer might be vulnerable too.

Richmond superstar Dustin Martin and veteran Trent Cotchin will make their returns against St Kilda on Sunday as part of the Tigers’ last-ditch finals bid. Martin and Cotchin missed the Tigers’ blowout loss to Western Bulldogs last weekend with soreness off a short five-day break. But the Tigers have confirmed the champion duo will take on the Saints this weekend.

Co-captain Dylan Grimes, 32, is a test for this week after he was a late out against the Dogs with a pinched nerve in his neck, while linebreaker Daniel Rioli will have a light week on the track in a bid to recover from a rolled ankle.

I would leave Cotchin out and bring Dow in.

[Diocletian]

Dow's a dud and will be delisted.

[MintOnLamb]

Out hopp a long and d Rioli injured and K Mac ( I love him but ….)

Pickett on wing

In extra tresize

Ins MRJ and sonsie to rotate between centre and forward

[Andyy]

I would leave Cotchin out and bring Dow in.

Dow's papers are signed and surely he knows that by now.

[georgies31]

Get Ryan in that side to Soldo and Nank is not working either.
