Richmond barely have a side to field with all of their injuries

I'll bring my boots.

 

[Hird05]

Cox - Hobbs
Ridley/Reid - Laverde

Happy to see Goldy rested for Bryan if he needs it. Expect not.

Don't think Hepp gets dropped this year. Back 7 for me is McKay, Reid, Ridley, Redman, McGrath, Kelly and Hepp (1 on bench). Martin center forward and Hind on wing.

 

[Kyptastic]

Pardon my ignorance but is SDN round split over 2 weeks to give all clubs a chance to be the home team?

Yes

 

[eth-dog]

Really sticking your neck out on that one

Some are making 5/6 changes

 

[Keystone agony]

Laverde is not getting dropped after today

He completely destroyed Zurhaar and we sit 2nd

[Keystone agony]

Hind on wing.

You cant say these things, hes never played wing and can't

 

[silk]

IMO, Hobbs and Shiel out and Maybe Goldy gets a rest. We really need to give Bryan a shot, reward his VFL form and Ridley is an obv in and Cox likely back.

Probably Hind back to the Sub role.

 

[Happyskeret]

Definitely think Rids will come in because he gave Brad that look.

 

[windyhill]

Goldy rested ?!?! No way. I love that story about Hardwicks last game as coach and how disgusted that Essendon, of all teams, Essendon ! beat them. Ex tiger Sam Durham kicking the winner. Please bury them EFC.

 

[BOMBERBLITZ]

Ridley/Reid for Laverde/Heppell

Nick Bryan has to play for Goldy (REST)

The thought of losing Nick Bryan at the end of the year to another team scares me!

 

[Saintsone]

Parish and cox for sheil and hobbs

Heppell putting together a pretty good season. I can see him going on.

Be interesting to see how the tigers cope with our “team of spuds”

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

A lot of changes getting thrown around for a team coming off a 40 point win and sitting second on the ladder…

 

[bommer16]

I don’t think we can rest Goldy.
Today wasn’t his day but too valuable to the sides game day set up. I hope the bye can bring him much needed rest.

 

[BuffDog]

Selection integrity suggests Bryan should be rewarded for his VFL game. Otherwise I think we’d need to resign ourselves to the fact he will leave at the end of the year.

Give Parish another week to get over this calf ‘tightness’

One more week for Rids and Reid in the twos.

In: Bryan, Cox
Out: Goldstein (managed), Hobbs (Omitted)

Shiel to start and Tsatas sub

Ridley will play AFL. Scott confirmed in presser. Going to be hard for Reid to get in ahead of Lav especially whilst we win. Don’t see them leaving out Goldy from an “event” game. But would like to see Bryan get a game v soon.

The fact we need to fit Ridley, Reid, Parish, Draper, Duursma and Setterfeld into the team while needing to blood Caddy and Roberts and get games into Bryan…is a great sign and must make match selection a difficult task!

Actually lined up there a few times today believe it or not.

 

[JDavey]

In: Parish, Reid, Ridley, Byran
Out: Shiel, Laverde, Tsatas/Hobbs, Goldy

Don't think we will make this many changes though.

Preview is up.
I just want to say cheers to silk for writing the previews and to VelvetSledge for writing the game day threads. That takes it out of a person. I have a new level of respect for your work!

 

[Godzke]

Wonder if they'll bring in Jayden Davey just for the occasion. Not that I would, but wouldn't surprise me if they do.
