I would've made Short come back via the VFL we are not missing him specifically as we have been missing others.
Baker stiff to get omitted.
Hail Mary stuff.

| Club | Av Age | Av Gms | Av Gls | Av Hgt | Av Wgt |
| Rich | 25.50 | 105.9 | 62.2 | 185.7 | 85.7 |
| St.K | 23.92 | 65.9 | 40.5 | 188.1 | 85.8 |
Since 2000 the record is 51-11-39-1 (23%), excluding the first game of the season.
Richmond is 1 from 1 in that period (R15 2012 v Melbourne).
All the omitted guys will be given very specific things to work on and sharpen up in the magoos. Can those of you attending the VFL match please look very closely to identify precisely what these guys are doing, and how well they are executing their roles? It's a very interesting week for the club, and makes the VFL match fascinating to follow. We look forward to your reports.
Cotchin under done
Short, comes in like he is a A grader., rather kept Baker in
Lambert. Good inclusion. Missed him
Edwards. Good inclusion
Astbury. Carthwaite or Astbury. It’s like choosing between Manton or Leys.
Bolton. Worthy of a game, Needs the same period that a Higgins gets in the side
Soldo. A cardboard cutout of Johnny Ironmonger would play the same. Totally useless.
Very underwhelming inclusions besides Lambert & Edwards

Don't bank on it! Seven back after injury with no VFL time so expect them to run out of steam. Then again remember 2017 when we steamrollered just about everybody and expected and easy 4 points against the Saints and we know what happened. We were also expected to run through the Dogs a few weeks ago and that didn't go well either so beware of a wounded prey.

What we've been missing is Edwards AA quality and creativity further up the ground. Let's look for his magic in the way he connects with other mids and forwards. Would love to see some all-star indigenous run and carry: Stack to Edwards to Rioli to Bolton – goal! (x5)
Brilliant ins,it's becoming obvious just how much depth we have when guys like naish and baker are demoted,with almost 3 weekends of not playing the big ins are not revelant as normal ,it's exciting to get back what looks like our team,add nank, Ross,Pickett and who knows what's going to happen, Go Tigers.
No not underdone, almost could of played against crows,have trained heaps and played match practice.
