Tigers To Continue With Youth

There doesn't seem to be an AFL recall in sight for Richmond's veterans after Tigers caretaker coach Jade Rawlings claimed he'll continue with youth.

The likes of Joel Bowden, Mark Coughlan and Troy Simmonds, all relatively popular DT players, are currently out of favour at Punt Road.

And Rawlings told the media after Richmond's loss to Adelaide on Saturday night, "Our young guys were terrific so why would we change it?

"We nearly won a game against a very good football side with a couple of blokes down, so we will stick to our criteria with our selection about who's in form, who's prepared to do what we want, follow instructions and we'll keep going down that path."
