Changes for the Suns game?

[torch]

I don’t understand why Grathwaite is being played as a forward?

Now we have no choice and he and Miller need to play in AFL to replace Balta and Broad.

OUT: Balta (Inj), Broad (Inj), Ryan (Omitted), Chol (Omitted)

IN: Grathwaite, Miller, Lynch, RCD

I would move Cotchin in defence rotating through midfield and he can be a small lockdown defender.

Free up Short.

Ins: Vickery, Deledio, Rance, Leppa (coach)

What this rubbish?

You want sideshowbob back?
Lids is a traitor that jump ship

Rance id take back and Leppa too, but I reckon he left for personal reasons (ie.the Hardwick affair)

It’s mind-boggling anyone would want Sideshow back for any reason.

[Diocletian]

To be fair Deledio was strongly encouraged to leave by the club...

[pmac21]

You watch them bring in Parker this week. 

[eliminator]

Bring in Lynch, Miller, Astbury, RCD and Dow.

Out: Noah, Broad, Houli, Ryan and Mansell

You watch them bring in Parker this week.

If it's for Castagna then I won't mind...

Stakes for this game just became higher!

Giants just been beaten by the Hawks 

So we are still in the 8

So now the importance of getting right at selection becomes even more critical

[one-eyed]

Richmond looks set to welcome back triple premiership defender David Astbury as its backline stocks took a hit in its crushing loss to St Kilda last week.

And key forward Tom Lynch is also considered likely to return from his knee injury to face Gold Coast on Thursday night as the Tigers battle to remain in the top eight.

Astbury hasn't played since round 10 while nursing an Achilles injury but is considered a likely recall to face the Suns with defensive pair Noah Balta and Nathan Broad set to miss with syndesmosis ankle injuries sustained against the Saints.

A number of Tigers will be pushing for a spot at senior level after impressive performances in the VFL, including Patrick Naish (32 disposals and two goals), Jack Ross (29 disposals), Riley Collier-Dawkins (27) and Josh Caddy (21 and one goal).

Miller expected to come in and debut (see other thread).

[gtig]

Good luck to the young fellow.  Hope I am wrong. 

[one-eyed]

Lynch has put his hand up to play according to 7 news.

Chol and Vlastuin in doubt though  .

[The Machine]

Chol and Vlastuin in doubt though  .

Chol will be fine to play this week at any level. Vlastuin would be a huge lose.

[Diocletian]

So if Chol & Nank don't play does that mean Ryan not only gets another gig but suddenly finds himself the numero uno ruckman? Or do we just wing it with CCJ, Miller, Pickett & Astbury rotating?

Lucky we're playing the one team whose ruck stocks are as low as ours....
