I reckon Moore would do a better job than Costagna up forward. He’s quick and deserves a game

Drop Ellis. Let him get 40 touches in the VFL every week and we can offload him to a VFL caliber team (Probably North) at the end of the year where his spud qualities can be celebrated.
Not even close yet .
Lose the next two and it'll be season over game against the shemon's .
Then the proverbial will hit the fan .

Former Richmond figures reveal how 'obsession' with John Pitura in 1970s sent Tigers broke
A 1975 transfer fee of almost $300,000 in today's money cost Richmond 30 years in the footy wilderness.
The fee, paid by the Tigers for South Melbourne defender John Pitura, sparked player disharmony and a destructive trade war that almost sent the club to extinction.
The revelations are made in the Fox Footy documentary Richmond: The Lost Years.
Former president Ian Wilson said the Pitura trade was "the biggest mistake in my time at Richmond" and admitted the Tigers powerbrokers, including board heavyweight Graeme Richmond, became "obsessed" with getting Pitura to Punt Rd.
After threatening to take the league to court, Pitura was eventually cleared in 1975.
Wilson revealed the transfer fee was $40,000 - the equivalent of $292,000 today. The deal also cost the Tigers three players - popular clubman Brian Roberts, Graham Teasdale and Francis Jackson.
Pitura played 40 games for Richmond while Teasdale went on to win a Brownlow Medal for the Swans.
"It was a big mistake and I could see that a week after we let them go," former coach Tom Hafey said.
Wilson shook his head when revealing the transfer fee.
"Don't even talk to me about it, not many people know that. It was $40,000 and the three players... don't even go any further."
It was the first bad deal of many that would rip the heart out of the club for the next three decades.
Although the Tigers won their 10th premiership in 1980, the seeds of discontent had been sewn and disaster struck when star centreman Geoff Raines left at the end of 1982 - also over money.
Raines tells Mike Sheahan in the documentary that he was upset he was being offered less than half the pay of star Western Australian recruit Maurice Rioli, who also took Raines' position.
"Centre was my position, I had won three B&Fs and a runner-up. (Rioli) was a fantastic player and a really nice guy so I've got nothing against Maurice, but it was the way the club handled it ... I felt I wasn't getting as rewarded as Maurice was at the time so I thought that was pretty unjust."
Raines quit and joined Collingwood along with teammate David Cloke, who had pleaded to the board on behalf of premiership players who felt they were being taken for granted, training in sub-standard facilities as the club splashed out on high-profile recruits.
At the same time, Richmond cleared former captain Bryan Wood to Essendon.
The Tigers, who sacked premiership coach Tony Jewell at the end of 1981 and appointed favourite son Francis Bourke, then went on a self-destructive spending spree trying to get even.
"You could go back to when we lost Cloke, Raines and Wood," Jewell said.
"That was the demise of the playing side. Then we went broke because we attacked Collingwood to try to get even.
"When I came back (in 1986), we just had nothing, the list was terrible and we had no money."
Former coach and president Barry Richardson said Graham Richmond had a personal vendetta against Collingwood.
"We speak with Graham Richmond with great love and respect but there was also a period when it all became out of control."
The Tigers sacked six coaches in the next nine years and by the time club great Kevin Bartlett was in charge in the late 1980s, the club was so poor it couldn't afford a single dedicated recruiter.
In the first national draft in 1986, four of Richmond's five picks never played a senior game. The Tigers used the No.1 pick in 1987 on South Australian ruckman Richard Lounder, who returned home after four senior appearances.
"Looking back I'd say I had no chance whatsoever," Bartlett said.

Caddy in for Cotchin
Bolton in for Castagna
Houli in for Short
Ross in for Martin
Moore in for Ellis
Loads more need to go but we'll have to make 3 unforced changes and getting rid of Can't kick Castagna and pocket watch Ellis improves us instantly.

Our depth players have had few games. Garth and Balta were beaten often. Garth’s first game in years. Balta, enigma. Looks best in the ruck. I hope they both stay in
7 players there with roughly 10 or less games experience ! Nearly a third of the team

Maybe Short out and Stack in a step forward, more tackle pressure, etc and maybe even can rotate through midfield. Rely on Houli to distribute from half back. Maybe Dusty Behind the ball, at least as a circuit breaker after a slow start to year. Townsend to forward line to add a contest. Add Ross to midfield and cull small forwards, Butler, Castagna, Higgins, Rioli too many, especially with small midfielders Prestia, Lambert, etc.

Travelled the week prior to watch the Tigers at the G and yesterday against the Giants
Yeah Rance and Grimes a issue but midfield line struggles which doesnt assist Dusty
Pies had no Taylor Adams but still had Grundy, Treloar, Beams, Pendles, Levi, Sidebottom etc
Giants no Ward bur Mummy, Cogs, Taranto, Kelly, Hopper, De Boer as a tagger
If Cotchin as a quiet game it all rests on Dusty and hes not that type of player needs 2-3 players around him
But if week off from suspension may do him good get 1 or 2 others in form then he comes back for Swans game
Shining light from yesterday Stack quality player having 82%DE, only 1 CLG, 0 FA and 3 1%er can hold his head high
Good luck against Port next round
