Changes v Aints

I know it won't happen 5 changes but this is what i like to see. If the club goes back to playing 2 rucks then put balta back in to rotate with nank.
Balta can play anywhere on rotation, back, fwd or even wing. We know Nank can rest forward or when rucking can cover the ground to help out the defenders.
Soldo is invisible after the center square duels. These shortened qtrs are relying on speed and run/endurance.
Unfortunately for Soldo he has neither of these attributes.

Outs: Soldo, Pickett, Rioli, Graham, (Higgo even though he did ok, well better than the first 4 I stated).
Ins: Nank, Macintosh, Baker, Dusty, (Balta)

Forward line needs a spark and id put baker back there to partner with Castagna. Stack stays back. Ross needs a string of games cant drop him after one game.

I do like Pickett but he has been average for 3 straight games. I see him being dropped.

The last thing i expected to see from Pickett were a couple of soft efforts and that head duck when going for a mark was as bad as I have seen from a Richmond player for a while, there was certainly no Byron in his play on Thursday night.

He's handy up front too.... maybe that means a small forward out? Rioli. Stackman to stay back? I gave him heaps on the game day thread but he got 18 touches and played better as the game went on

I thought his 1st half was awful and was confident he was being dropped at half time. Was much better after half time and was closer to the Stack that broke through last year.

Exactly my thoughts and needs to be dropped for those efforts alone.
 
“Damien Hardwick says there’ll be 3 or 4 changes for @Richmond_FC for Maddie’s match this weekend @FOXSportsNews @FOXFOOTY #afl”
 
I reckon there will be four changes based on Dimma's presser. Dusty, Baker certainties. Then two of Dow?, RCD?, K-Mac?, Nank?, Balta?
 
In: Martin, Baker, Kmac, Dow
Out: Ross, Pickett, Graham, Rioli
 
I'm starting to think with Rioli they might be just hoping things will click, and against the Saints under the roof they might think the perfect conditions might be what Dan needs. who knows.

Ross, Pickett and Graham are the easy omissions and make an easy straight swap for Martin and Baker and possibly Nank, Grover or Noah.

I do think we need another tall against Marshall is is bloody impressive in his own right and Ryder, throw in King and Carlisle they will have some genuine height on the park.

We will soon find out.

Told u Pickett was goneski.
I was told Cd was playing too.
 
No debuts.

In Dusty, McIntosh, Bakes and Nank
Out Soldo, Rioli, Graham and Pickett

Interesting that neither Pickett or Rioli have been named as an emergency. Clearly Aarts isn't suspended as he's an emergency
