Well the hits just keep on coming as we travel across the border to Adelaide to face Port for the 2nd time this year, still yet to play Pies or North once yet, in yet another game where they are under the pump after another poor performance by Ken Hinkleys boys, this time on the road against Hardwick and his new toys.
Richmond will once again be forced into at least one change for the game due to injury, with Tim Taranto
likely to miss through concussion protocols, which kind of sums up our season, just as we start to get things going our way someone finds another way to end up missing a game or 2 with injury.
On the one hand it probably doesn't mean that much as we'd probably like to maintain our hold on pick 1 in the draft, but on the other hand it would be nice to knock off Kenny and the Port side, just to see the implosion from old mate Click Bait Cornes after his opinion piece on Yze last week being too friendly and not demanding enough of his young side.
With Port not being in the best of form we could well be in the game for a lot longer than many would anticipate heading in, or Port could also come out and play like they did against the Dogs in their last home game and give us a nice old touch up, such is their up and down form at present.
What will be interesting though will be our team selection this week. Surely the likes of Green Trezise Banks & Ryan hold their spots, while Kaleb Smith surely comes into consideration for another opportunity after being poorly treated in his debut where he got barely half a quarter and then omitted, while responding with good form at VFL level. McAuliffe could get another chance in place or Taranto, but it would seem that Campbell is likely to come back into the side after be was 'mananged' this weekend to freshen him up after a bit of a lean run or form.
For mine the changes I'd make this week are:
Out - Taranto(concussion) Sonsie McIntosh (omitted)
In - McAuliffe Campbell Smith
B: Miller Balta Broad
HB: Rioli Vlastuin Brown
C: Ralphsmith Graham Banks
HF: Green Baker Mansell
F: Ryan Bolton Koschitzke
R: Nankervis Hopper Prestia
INT: Campbell McAuliffe Smith Trezise Short
