I'm assuming he's in until Dusty is back.
Dunno, there's a few spots available with Prestia out for a few more, Lambert with a calf strain as well. They will run with Cotchin, Edwards, Bolton, Graham, Pickett, Ross and RCD through the mids (who I expect to get spanked by the Dogs mids)
RCD is a pure inside mid, haven't really seen him play anywhere else, can hit the scoreboard so a possibility of resting forward?
I would think that it's between him and Ross as to who goes out for Dusty. Tough gig debuting against the Dogs, but he's built his strength and tank and can be quick out of congestion. He's a big bodied lad who plays in the same vein as Clarry and something the Tigers have been in need of for a while.

Unfortunately he's mainly in because of the injuries to our midfield (Dusty, Prestia & Lambert).
He did have a very good game 2 games ago v Sandringham in the VFL but was very average last week v Casey (as was the whole team) so in a way surprised he's in, but the cupboard is pretty bare atm with our midfield options. Wishing him the best of luck and a ripper game on Friday.

So at best he gets 4 weeks of game time?

Due you forsee a 3 week stint in the seniors? I'm thinking Dusty will use this opportunity to maximise his stay in NZ, with Damien giving him the green light on the proviso he stays fit and gets over the foot issue, so I reckon Dusty out for 3, getting stuck in the NZ hub, a bit like Ryder, not sure how long though. Interesting to see how it pans out and whether owners continue to hold.
