There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
I prefer Balta but it seems to me Tigers have put the cue in the rack on Balta for 2019. I don't think Chol will make it, I think Balta will but neither look ready for finals footy to me.

If they'd completely discounted it you wouldn't have seen him shifted into the centre the past two VFL matches.
It's big boy time. Dimma can't be too stoic: it's gotta be a premiership now over Eddie's long-term development.
(CuJo's the other one, but time has run out for him this year I feel.)

I’d say Shai and Brando out for the brownlow medalists.
Love to see balta for chol as well

I don’t know why people bother naming short as an out.
When Match committee print out a new team sheet, for discussions, it comes out of the printer like this.

I would drop Rioli, but that won’t happen. I still don’t trust Ellis. The Chol experiment has been fun and enlightening, but he can’t be risked for the finals or the upcoming big games. I would keep Caddy as he will only get better and his big body is needed (plus he’s the obvious option if we go in with 1 ruckman), although I think Nank and Soldo or Nank and Balta needs to be attempted first. I feel embarrassed for ever doubting Graham. Jack Ross has a lot of potential, but made a few mistakes yesterday and it will be hard for him to keep his place with Dusty and Cotchin returning. Bolton has improved significantly, but his brain fade at the wrong time of the year will prove costly. Stack needs to return to the backline. The criticism on Short is a bit over the top for mine.
Out: Chol, Ross, Bolton.
In: Soldo, Dusty, Cotchin
his hands in those conditions were sublime. IMO he's in our best 22.

I’m almost certain Marlion Pickett will come in this week. Prob to half back instead of Short or Baker. You only have to listen to Craig McCrae saying he was close this week
very challenging match committee this week.
who goes out for martin and cotchin
is chol dropped?
Re cotchin - the like for like replacement would be inside mids Ross or Graham, but I would love to see all three in the same team.
Re martin - mid/forward - probably replaces Bolton in that role
Chol - forward/2nd ruck - Balta or CCj?
Current whipping boys are Ellis, Short, Baker, and to some extent Rioli, Caddy and Stack- all playing with some attributes but some deficiencies - however Martin or Cotchin are not direct replacements for these types, small forwards or defenders or wingers.
Edwards will probably move for forward or back, to make room in the midfield for Martin or Cotchin - that will mean Rioli, Stack, Short or Baker will make way. Personally I would move Short to the wing and drop Ellis but high risk move to trial Short in a new position this late in the season. But there will have to be some re-jigging to accomodate Martin and Cotchin into the midfield.
Whoever is dropped, will be unlucky.

Jack Ross will not be dropped.
Was a strong contributor for most of the match against Carlton.
Is in Tigers' best 22 ... easily, in my opinion.

Ellis has gotta go. too slow on decisions then handballs to the wrong option and puts his mate under pressure.... does it toooo many times
The experts talk a lot about all clubs bottom 6..... we've had lots of changes this year and unearthed some pretty fair talent so as we stand who's our current last 6 from Sundays match?
In no particular order. Chol, Bolton, Short, Ellis, Baker, Rioli....??.... bloody harder than I thought, could change me mind in 30minutes

Correct . There is no chance Ross goes out. The MC dont rush back a first year,18 year old, off the back of half a game in the reserves just to drop him the next week. On top of the fact him amassing 21 touches playing on a beast in Cripps.
I would give him the job this week on Yeo.
Yeo will play on Dusty. Send Graham to Shuey.
There will definitely be thought given to bringing Balta in to combat West Coast's tall forwards. He has been very good the last two weeks - outstanding yesterday - and he can follow Allen into the ruck, jump all over him and run off him.
Toughest match committee meeting at Richmond for as long as I can remember. Martin and Cotchin definitely in, KMac, Pickett, Balta, Soldo possibilities, Towner, Menadue and others putting their hands up. Anyone dropped will be unlucky. (Except Short.

Towner's VFL form is reminiscent of 2017 (possessions and goals) but not sure I trust him to reproduce at AFL level and these next two games are too crucial to be toying with possibilities.
