You have Vlad in. He is also nursing an injury
 
Late omission R Lyon.
He isn't interested going to the Lexus, Westpac, Holden, Shitt Centre.
They might have to settle for the next Doofus in Mitchell

Rioli had alot of run today and link up play the backline. I think thye will play him there next week. He was pretty good.

RCD and Baker in the guts - let the young boys play with Dusty.

Ins: Nank, Stack (if he ain't suspended), Parker, Mansell, D.Rioli.....I was impressed with Martyn too today but I don't think Dimma will make 6 changes.

Outs: CCJ (inj), Houli (inj), Naish, Ross, Castagna (Jayden Short on notice). As much as Ross didn't do too badly, we need players to break the lines and give us more run from the back half and all of stack, rioli and mansell can give us that.
 
In - Stack, Dow, Mansell and, um..... Ryan or Miller
Out - Edwards, Houli, Castagna and CJ
 
Nank is the heart of our side.

One of the reasons cotchy has looked tired, is hes playing Nank's role at stoppages.

Nank is our No.1 clearance bloke.

we'll look very different with Nank back.

Hard to say with the magoos losing to the bottom side so no Stan outs. Ralpsmith looks like a gem and a booming kick. I think the rest of the season will be as much of a test for the coaching staff as it is for the young Players coming through. After losing 3 well credentialed senior assistants the remaining coaches are under the pump to improve our game style into something competitive.
 
Yes I agree, plus if Nank is available, Chol is a third mobile tall
CCJ it seems is injured but his lack of physical strength was exposed on Thursday. Chol for now is a better option

CJ took a sore calf into the game. Hardwick mentioned it in the press conference. There was no issue of lack of strength in previous games seeing he was in the top few for contested marks per game in the league. No doubt though he is a pup and will only get stronger. 'Chol is the better option' is never the right answer to any question unless its about demotion.

I still feel Richmond needs Nank with two back ups (CCJ & Chol (play forward/Ruck)). each brings their own strengths, Nank (hardness, grit and determination), CCJ (tall, ability to mark) & Chol (leap, mark and running). Against the top 6 sides, we need those options as we were clearly stopped in the centre and outmarked in our centre forward line. Jack and Tom have showed their abilities marking up the ground, bringing the ball to full forward. Breaking down in the centre and centre half forward is our top priority to fix quickly.
