What a joke. Recycle the same threat week after week. Of course there will be changes with a few ready to come back in.

Tigers to wield the axe

Richmond is set to make changes to the side that slumped to a disappointing loss against lowly Carlton on Saturday.
At least two players are expected to lose their places, making way for the return of captain Wayne Campbell and star midfielder Kane Johnson, both of whom are expected to be fit in time for the clash against Brisbane on Saturday week.
Several other players face the axe as coach Danny Frawley desperately tries to get the club's season back on track.
Senior Tigers were banned from speaking to the media yesterday following the club's fourth loss in a row, with football manager Greg Hutchison saying that promoting players from VFL side Coburg was now a possibility.
After Saturday's loss, coach Frawley called upon his players to be honest about their form and said many of them should be asking for a game with Coburg during this week's AFL hiatus.
Ben Holland was impressive in the VFL, kicking two of Coburg's eight goals in the match against Frankston. Hutchison said Marc Dragicevic and Royce Vardy were other fringe players to stake a claim in Coburg's three-point loss.
The Tigers will head for Moolooloba, on the Sunshine Coast, on Wednesday week to acclimatise for the match against the Lions.
