Changes V Pies

After the poor defending there has to be a change and finally try Ben Miller and he is big enough to pinch hit in the ruck if required. Maybe Garthwaite as well as we need height next week. Certainly Astbury is cooked and a shadow of his 2017 2020 performance. Someone who could bring the mids together would help as well but if Prestia and Lambert are out then we are in big trouble
If they do play Miller, and it’s a big if, they’ll still play Pickett in the ruck. It’s the Steve Morris experiment all over again.

Classic syndesmosis mechanism unfortunately, knee goes one way, ankle goes the other.

Even if he gets away without significant damage, I doubt he plays this week.

confirmed on AFL.com BR.

syndesmosis, surgery, unofficially the end of the line for our Bachar.

sadly, elite remote diagnosis skills on your part.

There's a Physiotherapy pHd waiting to be written on Richmond's 2020/21 schedule, rule changes, cap cuts and injury.

its been a relentless tsunami

I'll pay the Bachar the respect he deserves, by not eulogising him until he makes an announcement. o_O

what a *smile* of a month

Royce retiring after so much trouble with his knees was pretty bad.

agree with all except too early to rack dusty IMO.

were still a better than evens chance to finish 8th, and potentially *smile* up Geelongs tilt, again.

while that candle of hope still burns, stick him at FF and say if you step outside the 50, you're dropped.

Dusty could quite easily still carry us into a semi
 
What have we done to upset the injury gods? Three more out of a team already decimated by injury. Off the top of my head that is 9 out of our best 22 so not looking good for next week.

Concede the battle so that we might win another war, Grashopper. Let's not try to push through Siberia to Moscow. Let's put our feet up in Constantinople for a breather and a Cognac. Those Ottomans know how to lounge.

Yep. He is being ridden dirty and put away wet. Should be basking in the fwd lines and elongating that career by 3 years.
