Cotchin heads six inclusions

By Mic Cullen 5:00 PM Thu 14 May, 2009

YOUNG gun Trent Cotchin leads a list of six inclusions for Richmond this weekend as the Tigers prepare to face Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Sunday.

Cotchin has been in good form in the VFL and is set to make his first appearance for the senior team this year after an achilles injury in pre-season.

Joining him in the squad are Kayne Pettifer, selected for the first time after recovering from a knee reconstruction last year, Andrew Raines, after he injured his knee in round one, Mitch Morton, Will Thursfield and Nathan Brown.

Out go Alex Rance after his horrific weekend head-clash with Lion Troy Selwood that left him with a fractured cheekbone, Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls and Jay Schulz.

Richmond football manager Ross Monaghan told richmondfc.com.au it was good to be getting players back from injury.

"Cotch is good – he's had a long lead-in, of course, and his form in the VFL has been good. He just needed the ground time to get him to the stage where he can play AFL footy again," he said on Thursday afternoon.

"He's been training really well for a number of weeks and we're really looking forward to him coming into the side.

"Browny should be right, and while a lot of it depends on how he comes up each time, all indications are that he should play.

"And Kayne is another good story – he's worked so hard over the summer to get himself to the stage where he can play some footy, and he's showed at VFL level that he's ready to go."

An inconsistent forward line will welcome Morton back with open arms.

"Mitch gives a bit extra in the forward line, there's no question about that," Monaghan said.

"Bringing Rainsey back in is a good sign; his VFL form has been okay, so we're looking forward to having him back, and Will Thursfield – Will's been plugging away at VFL level and playing consistently solid footy."

With Coburg playing on Saturday, the Tigers will decide on Friday what to do about taking an emergency, having travelled to Sydney a couple of weeks ago without one.

"We'll decide that tomorrow – because Coburg play on Saturday we don't want blokes to miss out on a game, so we'll decide tomorrow if we take one over with us, or whether they play with Coburg and then come over Sunday morning, or whether we just take a punt on them all coming up okay."

The K PLANE flys again

[WA Tiger]

Great come back by Pett's really I hope he plays and plays well, great to see Cotch back as well, well done to Raines as well. Cogs, Thursty, Petts and Nahas for the bench, the rest need to go back to the Burgers to find themselves again and Riewoldt needs to stop reading about himself.

GO BROWNY at least you are over the injury...... we hope.

[RollsRoyce]

I can't say that I'm overly impressed with this team. It looks way too short at both ends of the ground. Thursfield should have been straight into the starting back six for Rance. No certainty he'll make the cut. Mitch Morton is way too short to play CHF. Not happy to see Brown or Pettifer back to tell the truth. The only pluses for me are the return of Cotchin and Raines.  

[mightytiges]

Happy to see Cotch back although he'll probably be underdone and like Cuz last week will be rotated on and off the ground in 10 minute runs.

Seeing Petts in will make some supporters happy lol.

Thursty is a straight swap for Rance as far as height in the backline although Rance is more of a rebounder than Thursty is.

I'd be surprised if Browny plays unless he trains tomorrow. He hasn't yet trained.

I know Jack had a shocker but I would give him a massive rocket this week to perform rather than drop him. I would've done the same with Morton last week. That forward 6 named has no tall structure if we're relying on Simmo to be our only tall.

[WA Tiger]

Why are people so down on Nathan Brown, I think they forget what a fit Brown can do. I was pretty obvious that he was carying an injury coming into round 1 and it did not get any better, lets just hope he can turn it around. Not sure if Thursty actuall deserves immediate call up either, he has not performed for Coburg and Rawlings assessment of him since he has been with Coburg has been less than flattering.

I am not sure what other options based on form we actually have.

[one-eyed]

Our opponents. Kane Cornes must be doubtful.

Port Adelaide

B: Michael Pettigrew, Alipate Carlile, Jacob Surjan
HB: Nathan Krakouer, Troy Chaplin, Peter Burgoyne
C: Dom Cassisi, Chad Cornes, Travis Boak
HF: Robert Gray, Warren Tredrea, David Rodan
F: Brett Ebert, Brendon Lade, Daniel Motlop
Foll: Dean Brogan, Kane Cornes, Danyle Pearce
I/C (from): Jason Davenport, Tom Logan, Matt Thomas, Marlon Motlop, Matt Westhoff, Hamish Hartlett, Toby Thurstans

In: Hamish Hartlett, Marlon Motlop, Matt Westhoff, Toby Thurstans
Out: Steven Salopek (shoulder)

Let's hope Thursty thanks to this recall finds his 2008 form back on Sunday. He's obviously got a second chance with Rance out injured.

I'm not down on Browny. All I was saying is I don't think he is over his groin injury yet unless the Club planned for him to have the light training sessions off this week and he trains tomorrow. If he doesn't train tomorrow then he must be doubtful to play.

Totally agree on Thursty wold love to see make an impact, very important to have him up and going. Wasn't haveing a shot at you regarding Brown, just generalising and your post went through just before mine so I hadnt even read yours...

[Jackstar is back]

plenty are happy to see the backsides of JON and Schulz

hahahahahahahaha Schulz out again

now for the love of God never play that stuffin idiot in the side ever again.

The difference between him and JON is not much but JON at least tries. Schulz is a complete waste of space and a main reason why we get laughed at.

stuffwit needs to go back to that poo hole of a place Adelaide and never play again for our club.

[Go on Danny, not that we dont agree, but tell us what players you would bring in to make sure we start to improve. Yep, bet you back the players we brought in this week. Sorry mate, we are all disapointed just like you but experience tells us negative passion quick fixes have got us exactly in the position we currently are]

Out- JON, Schulz, Foley, Jack, Edwards, Simmo, All but Jack & Foley never ever to play again for our club

In- Vickery, Thursfield, Raines($$), Pathetic Pettifer($$), Patto($$)  Cotch

Simmo unlucky because he played okay but enough is enough we need to find a forward and he aint our future.
I dont give a crap how they are performing at VFL level. We need to play the young ones not recycling the same old Browns, JON's and Schulz.

[mat073]

 I would like to see Thursty play....just in case Moore pops his shoulder again and we are forced to play Bowden on Tredrea.

I never thought I would say this but Im happy to see Petts in the side.One thing for sure....he couldn't go worse than Shultz.

Seeing Lids & Cotch in the same centre line gets me orgasmic.
