Now back on topic, we are in desperate need of a big inside mid, so with lonergan not selected this week, surely we have to see if Arnott is up to it???
Yeah I think he'll come in, no better time really. Whether he's sub is another question, If he's there to help midfield rotations he's likely to get a full run. The bigger issue is what do we do with Jones, he's their only clearance player worth stopping, I think Jacko will stand him, though we have gone head to head and beaten better players.

Hopefully Arnott can immediately step up and fill the gaping hole that Tuck has left!
Big shoes to fill, I'll be happy if he lays a few tackles and racks up double figures.

To add; We can't not play someone on the chance they'll get suspended, that's like not playing a forward on the chance they're not going to kick a goal. Deserves the chance at some point, this would be a good game for it.

Can reporters stop saying Pettard will be back in a week. I hope he is back to the VFL in a week not our best 22.

time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
Have the feeling Dimma loves him
To be honest, I'd rather Arnot debut in a match that is much tougher.
If we debut him against Melbourne, it reeks of complacency.
We all know what happens then.

Wrong decision to bring back Cotch...
Never take a wounded foe lightly.
Desperation can make them very dangerous.
And there is no glory in tormenting those who have already been brought to their knees.
Just dispatch them professionally and move on.
Tigs by a lot (but not a smashing).
Around 5-6 goals maybe.
(Hope we get a look at Aaron and Matt.)

Gotta disagree. He's clearly 100% and nothing below. If he was 99% I don't think the club would risk him. If he's ready to go there's just no point in him missing another game, and I doubt it's the type of injury that he can do further damage.

Why risk him seriously.We beat a better performed side than Melb last week on thier home turf without Cotch.I mean if we can't beat this rabble without Cotch then we don't deserve to fight for a finals spot.
Because he's fine, there's no need to rest him, I doubt Cotch would have been happy about being rested last week let alone this week when he's had nearly 2 weeks to recover.
AFL is a risky game.
Why risk Deledio? Why risk Martin? It's effectively the same thing, Cotch is as right to go as them and you always play the best 22 available to you. Much prefer Cotch to have a hit out this week so better prepared for next week anyway.
Glad to see that the Big O will get another run. It is good that we don't have to play Maric and can give him time to get over his injury. It would also be nice to see Arnot debut and give him a run against easier competition as this should give him confidence. We also need to start palnning for life after Tuck.
It would be ideal to bring in Lonergan next week against the Bombers as he will have a point to prove.

Re: cotchin's fitness
He was subject to a test during the week. Selection was pending in that result, and he passed. However, a hyperextended knee is smething you can play on, you just have pain and it swells up afterwards. Even if he's "right to go" it's only 3 weeks since it happened and 2 weeks since it last swelled up. We have a long season ahead and we need Cotchin to be pain-free, not carrying a niggle for another month because it keeps swelling up for the next couple of weeks.
The only reason he's playing is because Dimma wants a culture of players playing through the pain. He doesn't accept injury as an excuse.
With this in mind, I understand cotchin's selection. In isolation, it doesn't make sense to play him. But the overall culture-boosting effects of this kind of attitude are worth the small risk. The captain leads from the front and if anyone else is carrying a niggle (everyone has something) they will be absolutely clear of what is expected of them.
This is why we got a hard coach like Dimma after all.

I think if he was injured he wouldn't play. If Hardwick is that blind in regards to players injury concerns then he wouldn't be a very good coach. Managing injuries is a key to having a finals side capable of competing.
Really bad time for a game also. Hate sunday twilight games.
