R. Nankervis, Cotchin, Bolton

I: Prestia, Graham, Baker, Chol

In: Bolton, Prestia

Dimma came across like Caddy will play and needs to back up for Jack. Especially if chol does not fire.

Ross goes out as 2 mids come in. Who will be the other? I guess it will come from either Aarts or Pickett.
Both deserve to stay in but one of them I think will go out...

Pickett and Macintosh have owned the wings.
No way either KMac /Pickett out.
Confirmed by Dimma. Loves these two.

Tigers are all about mind f#$%^&@! the opposition by doing everything but trying to be clever.

Its all out in the open and I love it.

He can have 45 touches we don't tag....... Tigers speak for we don't care what he does we don't really think he damages us ha ha ha

We don't worry about stats ......Tigers speak for Ol Mate Fago shove your stats in your arse mate they haven't got you the wins in the past.

Nah Tommy wont play he's not clearly 100% fit only about 98.% so we think we'll let him rest another week or two .........We can beat you without him.

I think you misinterpreted my post about macintosh mate, he wasn't even in my thoughts. I said either Aarts or Pickett but then I said Macca and Pickett have owned the wings. That leaves Aarts, he has been great but I'm thinking for this week anyway he could well miss, due to team structures.

Yes, just heard the presser, definitely, Pickett playing.

Aarts is a strong candidate to go out because he cant play the midfield role as others can, but they can play the forward role just as well as he can.

Dusty,, Sheds, Lambert, Bolton, Rioli, Caddy and George.

Won a Grand Final last year with that lot rolling through the forward 50.

Gonna be stiffer than a Virgin Hioneymooner with a suitcase full of Viagra the lad but thats what could very well happen, unless they just drop Chol which I think they should. This is a Q/F that we must win, there is no guarantee Tommy will be fit to play next week if we get rolled. No Passengers.

I cant trust Chol after last games effort or lack of.

Jack Ross is also likely to have his will and character tested even further also by probably getting dropped again.

Then there is Broad dropped when paying good footy ................................

Markov dropped playing good footy.

Its gonna leave a few pissed off players no doubt.

Aarts very stiff if he goes out, been great this year, and was everywhere against the Crows last game.

Be very surprised if he's dropped. Would send a really bad message to drop him and keep in Chol

Think Chol may stay in.

In: Prestia, Balta
Out: Aarts, Ross

Caddy to play forward. Dusty, Shedda and $hai to rotate between forward and midfield.

Edit: Bolton not Balta.
keep Ross in and play Martin forward.

They’re completely different players - doubt there’d be any message in keeping Chol in now that Lynch is out.

Aarts would be unlucky, but that’s about it.

Now that I have backed in Chol to play the next one on my list is Aarts.

Not sure why people are calling for him to be dropped when he has been our most damaging small forward.

Two way gut running players who bring pressure is what Hardwick loves. This is what Aarts brings.

He won’t be dropped.

Agree. Rioli should be worried.
 
Lynch not fit to play and we announce it on Monday, why is that?

I reckon it is the mantra that Dimma says every week: we deal with what we can control. Lynch's injury has not recovered in time, we can't control that, no need to avoid announcing this once we know.

Andrews in our out? Beyond our control, worry about the situation when we get to the game. Plan for him playing and for him not playing.

I reckon Prestia must return, Chol has to stay as back up ruck, Bolton must come back.

So, I suspect Ross and Aarts miss out, dreadfully unlucky but they have a future at Richmond and surely are aware of this.
