The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.
No change.
The only change will come if one of the young ones is pulling up short, or if Myke Pike is available.

Time to exploit Richmonds lack of good talls. Bring back Pyke !!!
I believe the time came at Rd 16 a month ago. His season has been ordinary and the last 2 months he has been a liability.
I'm astounded anybody could think he is in our best 22 atm. Staggering.

As I posted elsewhere Stewie Maxfield did just that in 2005. Even though the coach said he'd play him as soon as he put his hand up to play. Now there's strength of character!
Pykie has only just resumed in the reserves after a long time out. He will play his first in the resies along with LJ.
Kennelly out Nipper in, Mal to half back could work. The thing I worry about with the sides like Richmond and Carlton is the tall forward line due to their resting ruck. Richmond are also fast on the forward line as well so Mal would be better at the moment than Tadhg who seems to have lost a good yard.
Meredith is an interesting one. Has been terrific in a lot of the reserves games this year but there is just something about him that doesn't give me confidence that he'll make the next step. I can't put my finger on what that is.
Lamb returned last week to the reserves after a lengthy lay off with injury. He's going to be a gun. He has a tremendous amount of skill and is very aggressive in the way he goes about things. To me he's ready made for AFL and with a few games under his belt could be a surprise selection for us coming into finals.

The above two posts sum up my feelings about Tiger.
I'm torn two ways on what to do with him as I'm glad I support a club that doesn't dump a champion of the club cause he's near his expiration date but on the other hand, watching him as he is now is sooooo frustrating and I want our best team possible on the park come finals.
I don't see how anyone can say he's in our best 22 any more, particularly when Moore and even Bevan are fit and right to play and we then have Rohan, Lamb, Pyke and Spang back from injury and in a week or two all fit and able to play seniors and all are able to offer far more than Tiger.
I wish he would do what Go Swannies suggests and do a Stewie. Feign injury and retire as a champion, not a washed up hack which, unfortunately he is starting to look like.
My 'enough is enough' comment wasn't meant to suggest that I think Tadhg should retire, effective immediately, but rather he should put his hand up and say, 'My form is crap, I don't deserve my place, let me see if I can go back and find my mojo in the ressies'.
In other words, make the extremely tough decision for them.

Very exciting News Al .Thanks for that. All the reading on him seems to say much the same thing. I can't speak too highly of our recruiters! I think we are closer to being top 4 and challenging for a flag than many realise. A tough ,talented ,aggressive goal kicker could turn it around ( like Krakour for the Pies). There are many avenues to a goal. We probably pinned too many hopes on Jesse but now we seem to have a much wider selection of forwards eg Spangher, Lamb, Pyke, LJ, Bevan, Moore, Reid, Parker etc etc .The challenge for the selectors will be to settle down a forward line that combines all this talent!
Cant tell you how much I hope you are right with Lamb Al, because a gun with the x factor who likes kicking goals is welcome in any side, but especially our side.
One of the real values of this site is the feedback from all of you guys who get the ressies and see how these young players are progressing (or not as the case may be). Thanks for the work you all put in every week.
