Astbury OUT for Round 1 - STUNG BY STINGRAY!

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Out Astbury
In Elton

Like for like, big KPD for big KPD, blessing in disguise for Todd, gives him a chance to press his claim to stay on the list.

Would be nice,But i think we'll go Rance/Chaplin/Grimes.

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

Jones - 198cm
Casboult - 198cm
Henderson - 196cm
Watson - 195cm

Chaplin - 195cm
Rance - 194cm
Grimes - 193cm

Wouldn't be surprised to see Elton play.
We look undersized.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

What is it with us and bizarre injuries?

Rance and his bike?
Coughlan in the shower IIRC?
Polak and a tram?

Also, more importantly - why wasn't Hampson on hand to pee on it??? (assuming that's what you do - similar to Jelly fish stings).

Dud, delist etc

Batchelor would be about 185-190, wouldn't he?

Probably giving away too much in height as well.

We're giving away far too much height.
Coaches would be worried.
All 3 of their forwards are very good in the air with strong hands.
We all know how good Chaplin is 1 on 1....
Need to limit the supply of ball going in there.
Batchelor is 188.
Too small.

probably not ideal pissing on an open wound.

This probably explains why I failed at First Aid!

Looks like Elton may need to step up to the plate - not ideal but if given the lesser of the forwards, might be able to do a job. With Rance, Chaplin (and presumably Grimes) also there, he'd have quite a few leaders around him to help coach him through the game as well.

It's not the size of the dog but the fight in the dog that matters, Good things come in small packages, Small is to large as little is to big??

Don't forget Brad Ottens' garden stake!

 

[DontArgue4]

I dont see why we wouldnt put elton in, hes a fantastic athlete and all we need him to do is compete in the air

 

[Final Siren]

Elton looked good on Boyd in the Dogs game.

 

[Dr Tigris]

Elton takes their third tall. Gets a week or so to play AFL, then Astbury comes back after overcoming being attacked by an escaped Poodle-ShiTzu cross.

Anyway, gven the Blues will hardly get a forward 50 entry it's not a big deal.

I can't see Watson playing unless he's replacing either Jones or Casboult, but yes, I think we'll end up going with Rance, Chaplin, Elton, Grimes, with Houli and Vlaustuin playing small. Batch is unlucky to miss.

Our run out of defence will be very important, as both Watson and Jones are lazy and Casboult is about as maneuverable as a Mack truck. Hopefully we can set up some good counterattacks and get good supply to Jack and co.

 

[AJ Green]

I think Andy Kellaway injured his ankle surfing in 05. Never played again after it.

 

[Equus]

Didn't Otten have a run in with a lawn mower as well?

And some say that we are too tall if we play all of Rance, Astbury, Chaplin, Grimes & Bachelor
Also not sure if they really will play 4 talls up forward, we are struggling to fit 3 talls up front

They wont play all 4, its either Jones or Watson with the other two, not both.

 

[Mr Magic]

Another way to look at is is to think he is lucky, lucky he was not Steve Irwin for example

Still too soon

 

[Hipster Doofus]

For *sake really. Grimes and Batch both play now, we'll kill them on the counter attack or die trying.

Harsh but true.

Ankle

 

[Tiger2709]

Ankle

Thanks, the news over here said something about a knee and that he was performing well in the pre season did they get both comments wrong?
