Bubs before hubs and injuries leave Tigers badly depleted

but are poised to leave for their Gold Coast hub on Monday without premiership heroes Shane Edwards and Bachar Houli.Richmond meanwhile lost ruckman Toby Nankervis , reigning best and fairest Dion Prestia , and captain Trent Cotchin during the win over the Dees. Spearhead Tom Lynch played out the game but is in doubt for next week, while David Astbury is already sidelined.

“Toby, syndesmosis, Dion syndesmosis, Trent’s got a slight hamstring. Obviously those guys won’t play next week. Tom’s got a broken finger, we’re not too sure. We’ll see how that goes but obviously he played out the game so we’re hoping that’ll be OK,” Hardwick said. He said he wasn’t totally sure whether all those players would head to the hub, but indicated that a handful of younger players would stay in Victoria, suggesting the AFL would not allow scratch matches during the period of the hubs.

Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin was again left frustrated by the Demons’ poor cohesion between their midfield and forward line.“It was a familiar tale. We turned the ball over forward of centre and they punished us. And that was really the game. Outside of that it was a pretty even contest but they won that turnover game on the back of their good pressure, but also on the back of some of our really disappointing execution,” Goodwin said.

Bottom8 have no chance unless they change their attack/defence structures Playing against 16 players on the field was just too much in the end. Disgraceful performance from the ref.
