Changes for R22 - Richmond vs Melbourne

[WilliamPowell]

Coburg's opponent next week is Bendigo Bombers at Windy Hill

I reckon Rance deserves a game based on his game yseterday

collard kicked 6 for coburg, we should give him a shot and thats the same with rance

Collard cannot play for Richmond because he is a rookie and cannot be elevated.

since our seasons over, we mise well bring in the youngens
collard kicked 6 for coburg, we should give him a shot and thats the same with rance
i mean we got nothing to lose

I don't think that you understand the meaning of NOTHING.

Richmond need to thrash Melbourne to keep the momentum going into 2009. Emotional changes don't help that cause and could turn 2009 into a NOTHING year. We all know what that feels like.

Taking valuable Coburg players out of their successful structure will do NOTHING of any good for their finals campaign.

[Francois Jackson]

What should happen-
OUT- MCMAHON
IN- RANCE

What will happen.
NO CHANGE

He has done everything that has been asked of him for Coburg so if there is a spot for him, why the hell shouldn't he get a game.

Now we're out of it and with just one game remaining I would rest up a couple who are clearly playing under duress. I think Foley is still nowhere near 100%.

In: Rance (debut), Tivs (farewell game)

Out: Foley (rest), Edwards (Coburg finals qualification)

[Stripes]

I agree with you MT on Foley. He needs to be rested so he is at 100% for Preseason. Similiarly I would give Richo and Simmo a break but this is unlikely to happen.

Ins:       Rance,      Meyer,      Collins

Outs:     Riewoldt,   Edwards,   Foley

Wallace said other than Brown the Tigers would not be treating the rest of their players any differently now that the team is out of finals contention.

That means that 2003 best and fairest winner Mark Coughlan, who has been making steady progress in the VFL in recent weeks having finally returned from a two-year lay-off following knee and hamstring injuries, is unlikely to be given his first taste of senior football since 2006 while veteran Greg Tivendale is unlikely to be given one last chance in what appears to be his final season.

"The guys that have got us through to this stage have done a pretty good job and they deserve to play," Wallace said.

Surely we need to use this as a chace to give the kids a chance to show their wares on the big stage, the more the better
