"The big one is, do you change a winning formula?" Ratten said. "It's pretty hard. Their (Stevens and Scotland) form was pretty good … we'll go through that after training and see how everyone pulls up.
"They're in the mix, they're quality players and (last week) we just went with a different team; a different structure."
two words...
NO CHANGE
Houlihan was our worst player, he lost countless 1on1 contests and he's lazy and slow. He's a disgraceful footballer. Johnson's good work when they swapped showed us just how little Houlihan gives us. Houlihan shouldn't be clogging out list let alone our 22.
Houlihan out, Johnson to half forward, Scotland in to half back.
Austin out, Hartlett in. Austin suspended and Hartlett's earnt a spot, why we play Fisher ahead of Harrtlett is amazing.
Bentley out, Stevens in. Bentley has everything wrong with him and nothing right, how we even rookie drafted him is amazing.
We need %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%!
Is Robbinson in contension? I would say yes. I forgot about robbo.
So perhaps Bentley out, Robinson in and Stevens 1 more week in the VFL.
Can you se Bentley being a part of our next premiership team?
F**K NO. Get rid of him & anyone else in that boat... Im sorry but thats the harsh reality
I understand that people have a love affair with Yarran and Hartlett on here but neither deserve a game.

RICHMOND president Gary March last night said he welcomed Kevin Sheedy's job application, but denied it was a U-turn on an earlier position that the veteran coach was not a good fit for the club.
Speaking to The Age last night from New Zealand, where he is on business until the end of the week, March insisted his pre-season appraisal of Sheedy had been given in an entirely different landscape.
"If Craig Cameron (Richmond's general manager of football) came back to me and said: 'My strong recommendation is that Kevin Sheedy is the best available coach' after we've gone through a thorough process, unless I found something really strange in Kevin's background that I think would be detrimental to the Richmond Football Club, we would go ahead with that recommendation like we did on the caretaker coach role," March said.
"If Kevin wants to go through the process, why wouldn't we put Kevin Sheedy through the process, given his experience?"
In an interview on the eve of the season, when Terry Wallace was still senior coach and Sheedy had only recently been recruited to Tigerland in a marketing role, March doubted Sheedy, whose 27-year tenure at Essendon ended in 2007, would ever be in the senior coaching frame at Richmond.
"This is only a personal opinion, so I'm not commenting for the rest of the board, I probably think that that time has passed," March said in the interview with The Footy Show in March.
"I think with the way the game is going, we're looking towards newer coaches with different ideas and different innovations. Kevin has now been out of the (coaching) game, it will nearly be two years at the end of this year, you're probably looking for someone to come into the game with fresher ideas, so for me I would have thought that time has probably passed."
The Footy Show did not broadcast March's responses about Sheedy at the time, but his comments were subsequently printed in a Sunday newspaper.
March said last night that before doing the television interview he indicated reluctance about discussing the position of Wallace.
Asked whether he still held the personal view about Sheedy's prospects of being Richmond's head coach, March said: "No, because I haven't sat down with Kevin to discuss whether he's spent a lot of time keeping abreast with the game and what his views are.
"I was asked a question, months ago, when we had a contracted senior coach about a particular person that was coming back to Richmond Football Club in a non-football role.
Richmond fans should not be worried about this week's game, but rather the fact that their club is turning into a basketcase again ...

The whole club is on the verge of imploding, all started by Kevin 'Box Seat' Bartlett ...
As such I expect nothing less then a 90 point belting of the Tuggers on Saturday ..

Would of liked to see Scotland or Stevans back especially when we are playing a team like Richmond.
You're not speaking of Gavan Disney, I hope?
I'm going into this game with mixed emotions.
I see the selections this week a little sedated.
I know we clearly still have good players coming back into our line-up but I just don't quite agree with the current tactics of staving off good players to prove a point.
You would imagine this can be conducted via dialogue with senior players.
Yes, there may be more brewing from underneath that we (or at least I) are not aware of.
I have just got off another thread where we are advocating the delisting of players, Bentley, Russell, Hartlett and Bannister, yet these players are all getting a good go heading towards the pointy end of the season.
I mean we were also all rejoicing in Cloke and Wiggins only several weeks ago and now cannot wait for them to be traded or simply moved on.
We may well not even make the eight this year, but for me I wish we were priming the likes of Browne and Scotland and Yarran towards the finals, rather than the hit or miss quartet mentioned above.
Again, we know the outcome so why wait for it to slap us in the face?
