Surely Higgins holds his spot for at least next week. Would think Caddy when fit comes in for Lloyd, and if Higgins keeps playing like that he will hold his spot.

With Rioli back in a few weeks and Bolton always knocking on the door it would only take one bad game to have him back in the 2's though.
Dimma said it is going to be tough at the selection table this week , the Tiges have so many players that deserve to be playing every week so Higgins could be unlucky again and he said he was pretty sure that Vlastuin and Caddy will be right to go , so who makes way ? Townsend has not been at his best and Butler is not hitting scroreboard of late but they would be stiff to miss out.

Won't be surprised if Higgins gets dropped, but I plan on getting him next week or shortly after either way, because he can sit at M10/11, and even not playing every week he'll still be doing better than Brayshaw and Barry, and I need that DPP

1 big mistake made. WILL BRODIE

Did a hamstring about 3 weeks ago in NEAFL was on track for 30+ possessions too.

Butler makes way because he has only kicked 4 goals in 5 games.
Higgins has kicked 5 goals in 2 games.
Spots are tight at Richmond for small forwards and Butler is the weakest link. Graham for Butler.

Townsend has been in terrible form since his purple patch late last year. Caddy for Townsend.

Broad or Short would make way for Vlastuin. One of those two unlucky there.

If Higgins continues this form, Lloyd makes way for Rioli.

Yeh can't see Higgins getting dropped after that performance

Bully

Higlet has arrived folks, double downgrade on the cards this week.

Yeah it would be hard to see it happening but that's what everyone thought last time so there are going to be some unlucky players at Tigerland this week.

Like the look of Guelfi

Reckon I might pass on Mirra and Guelfi comes in, unless I double down and get both which I'd say is doubtful

Toga

Guelfi looking very impressive

The big decision is do we keep Fritsch? Think we still have to deal with Venables or Ryan first though.

Demons well beaten last night, so a Fritsch return is not impossible. Besides, he didn't play at all this weekend so fresh legs may be attractive after a 5 day break. Decision for 5pm Friday.

Agree with this. Short time between next game fresh legs needed

Dylan Clarke will play this week I'm calling it



He's only a rookie, but youngster Jacob Heron has been killing it at NEAFL level and is closing in on a call-up. Charlie Ballard also impressed at the lower level.

The Giants have young defender Isaac Cumming in good form so he could add some speed to the side, with Zac Langdon (hand) also in contention to return.

Nic Newman and Robbie Fox are in consistent form and just need an opportunity, while Darcy Cameron could be an option to give the side some height, along with Aliir Aliir.


Jack Petruccelle booted four goals for East Perth and has the legspeed (he ran the quickest 20m sprint at the NAB AFL Draft Combine)

B.

Mirras JS anyone??

Went early on Guelifi so can double downgrade to Higgins and Mirra this round if need be.
