Assuming decent weather, Dusty’s availability and depending on Sundays VFL form I like Martin, Miller, Ryan and Stack for our game against Geelong.
Not sure of Tarrant’s hand injury situation but his game last night again did not impress.
My outs would be Balta, Edwards, Rioli Jr and Tarrant.

An early start for me if the alarm goes off but not a game to miss so should watching in bed whilst my partner gets me my breakfast (I hope)we go from Thursday night, when no one wants to go, but great for TV, to almost the worst TV timeslot of the week, for the 2nd biggest game of the weekend.
Shock horror you didn't enjoy Tarrants game. Almost universally people say he had a good game but again you say he was rubbish. Its clear you have some sort of agenda against Tarrant. He probably won't play next week but that will be due to injury (and we could certainly do with him on Hawkins who he would match up well on).
Just pop a 6 pack into an esky beside the bed before you retire. No need for the partner to get up n make you brekky that way. Get in the good books by letting them have a relaxing lazy morning. No making brekky, no cleaning dishes. You know it makes sense.An early start for me if the alarm goes off but not a game to miss so should watching in bed whilst my partner gets me my breakfast (I hope)
3 goals from 1 game, gets a chance to put his hand up against Coburg.Has Bauer done anything with us as yet? Any chance to come in for Balta?
Lambert has been one of our best over the last 5 years. He came back last week and is nursing a chronic injury.B Broad Tarrant/Miller Grimes

I thought so, but I thought we would beat Swans also to get there. If we had done that we would have gone ahead of cats on points and not have to rely on %.Who woulda thought a couple of weeks back (not me) that if Carlton lose to Fremantle and we beat Geelong by say 40 points we're in 4th spot and 1 win behind 3rd.
Last 2 games against Geelong Hawkins has kicked 8 goals, Cameron 6 (from 1 game). Definitely a concern, we really have to prevent the number of opportunities up the ground. On the face of it Tarrant doesn't look like a good match for either of them. I'd go Miller acknowledging that he might get taught a lesson.I would never say that Tarrant or any other Richmond player was rubbish.
Stats don’t answer disagreement of this kind but they are worth a look.
According to the AFL site he was on the ground for 90 odd minutes for 4 possessions, no tackles, 85 meters gained and he achieved the lowest player rating of any player on the ground.
Someone else also pointed out that he was favoured by the wet conditions, which didn’t help his opponents who rely on high marking. I agree.
Assuming he can’t play and Miller does I would also hope for wet conditions, but I think your thoughts about his,Tarrant’s, ability to keep up with and compete with Hawkins (or Cameron) in any conditions, are wildly optimistic.
Not sure about that.Give me a forward line with a number of goalkickers anytime.Relying on the one player too much causes problems if injured,or having a bad day.One thing I learned from Thursday night was I really want McKay in our team
No Tarrantula or Balta. Dusty, Shedda n Lamblett all running at half rat power this year, not sure we're any where near full strength at any stage this year.This will show us where we are at. I'm not sure we beat a full strength Cats. Maybe best to save that for the finals!
