Richmond

B: 78. D. Coffield, 42. R. Garthwaite, 73. J. Ernest

HB: 37. C. Menadue, 46. B. Miller, 51. S. Morris

C: 33. K. Mcintosh, 27. S. Lloyd, 64. T. Silvestro

HF: 54. J. Ballard, 79. W. Coates, 45. P. Naish

F: 48. L. Baker, 38. N. Balta, 62. M. O’Sullivan

R: 40. C. Coleman-Jones, 44. T. Stengle, 29. S. Bolton

Int: 55. R. Bathie, 67. B. Credlin, 65. J. Cusack, 56. B. Grewar, 74. R. Hayward, 52. S. Mannagh, 59. H. Tanner, 57. B. Wood

23P: 68. C. Riley

In: B. Grewar, W. Coates, R. Bathie, R. Hayward, M. O’Sullivan, B. Credlin, S. Mannagh, J. Cusack, H. Tanner, J. Ernest

Out: C. Moore, J. Townsend, A. Miles, J. Aarts, I. Soldo, C. Ellis

Basically a full strength Bombers outfit against 11 AFL listed Tigers with Soldo Townsend Miles Moore C.Ellis among those missing with Aarts also missing. The Bombers are 4th on the ladder a couple of wins behind the Tigers so losing this probably doesn't have a major impact on how the VFL season will pan out for us, but we wouldn't want to be copping any more injuries.

On the flip side it is a good opportunity for the likes of Stengle Bolton Baker Menadue to put their hands up and say they are ready if needed, while younger players like CCJ Balta & Naish get to show case what they can do when given more responsibility.

In all honesty I'd be shocked to see us get within 6 goals of the Bombers, but Macrae has had to side playing some pretty good footy this year even when we have had injuries or suspension testing the depth.

How often do you get an entire AFL listed VFL team?
That looks crazy. Hope we do well. The young guys are going to get a genuine shot at time this game, and something as close to AFL pressure as the Dons can dish up :p
 
Weakest side on paper for the year

Hopefully our game style holds up and we make it a real contest but would be amazed if we get the choccies

Hopefully Shai can have another big one and push for senior selection

Also keen to see Balta and CCJ do well although might be an average weekend (weather) for talls

WTF is going on with Soldo seems his missing quiet s bit lately with injury which is not a good sign if we want to rest Nank

We named 7 of our 8 extended bench players. Four will miss (McNiece, Guelfi and Langford all in the AFL side) and there won't be many bomber fans due to the crossover with our AFL game unfortunately.

This should be a ripper, we're missing a couple of blokes that should play finals in Leuenberger, Mutch, McNiece, Boyse and Laverde, but I doubt Dea and Parish will be playing finals though. You're obviously missing those 6 outs, Chol, Drummond and Markov as well.

We usually play an entire listed AFL team in the VFL as we never have injuries ;)

Unavailable

Oleg Markov – knee
Mabior Chol – foot
Bachar Houli – groin
Reece Conca - dislocated ankle

Anthony Miles – concussion
Nathan Drummond - hamstring

We are managing our players well in terms of injury. Just need stronger performances from CEllis, Menadue, Bolton etc when they get a shot in the 1sts
