R3 Changes v GWS

1. The Tigers need to get their mojo back
Richmond wrote a premiership blueprint based on pressure. The Tigers in 2017, on their way to the flag, were manic and played with an intensity around the ball that was unmatched. They also carried that into 2018, before stumbling in the preliminary final. But that tenacity was missing on Thursday night against Collingwood, with Richmond registering only 33 tackles for the game. The Magpies laid 60, and also had far more of the ball (467 disposals to 303). There were six Tigers who didn't lay a tackle, and another 10 who could manage just one, with all of a number of their small forwards – Daniel Rioli, Mav Weller, Jason Castagna and Jack Higgins – in that boat. The Tigers aren't looking themselves at the start of 2019, and getting their pressure back will be a big factor in returning to form. - Callum Twomey

For those expecting wholesale changes you can almost forget it. Not in Hardwicks DNA.

Out: Riewoldt, Grimes & maybe 1 more. I would say Weller.

In: Moore, Balta, Ross

Shai..?
 
reports from the VFL game

The versatile Jacob Townsend could also come under consideration after setting the tone with a typically hard-edged effort, this time on the ball, an area in which Richmond's AFL team was soundly beaten.

it is time ..................imagine how good Lynch will be with Jacob patrolling the forward line
 
We usually play well against gws their play on style through the middle suits our game plan. Expecting a much better showing.
 
Soldo will have to come in this week as Nanks will struggle against Simpson at 206 cm.

Nanks and Soldo rucking and changing out of the goal square.

Balta to cover Rance

Houli back in and Markov out.

Would like to see Weller out and Jack Ross in.
 
GWS get Kelly, Mumford and Greene
It doesn’t matter who comes in for us they will smash us
 
I wonder if the opposition players are thinking "is he fast enough" when his shoulder is thudding into their ribs.
