Out - Martin McIntosh
In - Vlaustin Edwards

The only other change might be Prestia if he's deemed right to go...
Which would probably see Ross drop out

This is what i think will happen changes wise, whether I agree with them or not may be a different question.

The only thing I have changed to my liking is Short on the wing... But I can easily see Parker or Baker there to leave short in the back 6-7.

Whilst a win would be the best outcome, I hope at the very least the team continue to show that 4 QTR pressure game they have been very slowly building back to since the bye.

Cats are the best team in the comp at the moment so going toe to toe and losing by decision like Balboa in Rocky 1 will be a good outcome given the context of our season. That momentum, win or lose will be extremely important in the last remaining rounds of the season heading to finals.

Lets look back to around 2016 when the match committee looked at the list and tweaked the game style to reflect the strength of the playing list...lots of small fast little guys...who terrorised defences across the league for the next few seasons. Am I seeing something similar here...but not in the forward line but rather, in defense- small fast rebound defenders gradually knitting together(Mansell, Rioli, Stack, Short). With Vlastuin as one possible inclusion, along with Prestia and Edwards, and with the Cats lacking Cameron, and playing on a realllly big ground, I think we might surprise them, even without Dusty.

injury report from the club


Dustin Martin, kidney, (long-term)

“Really unfortunate for Dustin, and obviously the team. The incident (was) just before three-quarter time. He came off the ground, and it looked pretty bad on the field, and he was obviously in a bit of pain.

“He ran off, and he said he was just winded, but the doctors took him down to the rooms for further assessment, and they were a little bit suspicious there was a bit more going on.

“He was taken to hospital for further scans and observation, and obviously the result was a lacerated kidney, which is fairly serious, and it will mean he can’t take any further part in the season. He is not allowed to have any contact for three months.

“He is still up there on the Gold Coast in hospital. He will probably be released in a couple of days once the specialists give him the all clear and we are looking forward to having him back around the Club again soon.

“All the guys and staff have been really good and sending him get-well messages and all those sorts of things. He is really appreciative of that, and we look forward to seeing him soon.”

Kamdyn McIntosh, hamstring, (medium-term)

“Kamdyn had a small incident out on the far wing where he just went to accelerate and felt some awareness in his hamstring. He has never had a hamstring injury before, and further scans have shown it is fairly minor.

“He will definitely miss this week and potentially the week after, but we anticipate it is not going to be anything long-term.

“He is already back running, which is a really good sign with these sorts of injuries, so we would anticipate he is only going to miss one or two weeks potentially.”

David Astbury, ankle, probable

“Dave had an incident late in the game… he came from the field, and we strapped him back up and got him back out there.

“He is walking around fine at the moment… we will take care of him at training tomorrow, and he will resume training with the group on Friday preparing for Sunday’s game.

“I expect him to be available to play.”

Shane Edwards, ankle, probable

“Shane has had a good week. He had an ankle issue which has dragged on and was still causing him a little bit of grief last week, so we just played it really safe.

“He was training yesterday and looking really bouncy with his running, agility and change of direction. He will resume training tomorrow and I anticipate will be available to play this week.”

Callum Coleman-Jones, calf, probable

“(He) had a calf issue from the Gold Coast game (in Round 16) and has been running over the last couple of sessions. He will resume training tomorrow and again Friday and we will assess his availability for the weekend.”

Dion Prestia, hamstring, (short term)

“Dion is back running at full pace and will resume some football training this week. With Dion, we are looking to make sure when he returns that he stays playing football.

“We are going to take two weeks of training and then we will assess next week if he returns to play.”

Nick Vlastuin, knee/quad cork, (short term)

“He is carrying two issues at the moment, he had a medial ligament knee injury from the Gold Coast game, but he also had a significant corky from that game on top of the corky that he had the week before (St Kilda), so that has actually become more of the issue over the last week or so.

“He has had a bit of a re-bleed from that second incident… it was a little bit confusing with the knee and the corky, but it has now become evident that that cork was a lot more serious.

“We have had to actually take a step back and be really careful with him. He has not quite got full range back in that leg.

“He has just started running again yesterday, and it will be a slower progression given now he has missed two and a half weeks of football training. We are managing him into a program this week and will make an assessment next week as to what that looks like.”

Nathan Broad, ankle, (short term) and Noah Balta, ankle, (medium term)

“Broady and Noah Balta sustained their ankle injuries in the St Kilda game, and both had surgery for an ankle syndesmosis issue. Both of them are back doing some light running.

“Broady is actually a little bit further progressed. He is running at about 50 percent speed at the moment, so he will progress this week outside (into) straight line running.

“Noah has just started on a treadmill, so he is a little bit behind (Broad), but hopefully will progress more at the back end. His injury was a little bit more serious.”

Bachar Houli, ankle, (medium term)

“Bachar, who was a week later in the Gold Coast game, has just started walking around pain free. He will start some AlterG treadmill running some stage this week.”

I'm genuinely unsure how to rate Geelong.

That they have had sustained a high standard on-field for a long time isn't in question and I'm personally nowhere near as negative about Chris Scott as others on the Tiger's forum. But winning flags is where it's at, really, and Geelong haven't been doing that.

Not sure if that's because the strategy you've been following is actually a poor one -- albeit hidden by the fact that you keep making finals -- or if it's a really good strategy which just hasn't paid off.

Personally, what really impresses me about Geelong is not so much the on-field as the off-field performance. I think since Frank Costa arrived in '98 Geelong has been kind of the benchmark of how to go about being a football club.

As things currently stand I have you down for the flag this year but I can't honestly say that if I was a Cat's fan, I'd be satisfied with the last decade. I'm more than happy with the last decade as a Richmond fan and that won't change even if we miss finals this year. Top four finishes aren't the "success" I'm looking for even if they are very nice and a good achievement in and of themselves.

Watching them is interesting and to me they have not had a decent ruckman since they pinched that Tiger Ruckman Brad Ottens
It is their Achilles heel and may bite them on the bum again in this years quest
 
Will definitely be tough to win this, cats are real contenders this year. I think we turned a corner last week so reckon we’ll take it right to them. If we manage to pinch it, watch out

shame about Vlastuin, sounds like he’s still 2-3 away when originally he was 50/50to not even miss 1.
Shedda back is handy and hopefully Prestia is back next week
