Very nice. Very nice, indeed.

Very nice. Very nice, indeed.

This.

Going to be very, very interesting indeed.

Not sure how Spud survives if we are wielding the axe like that. Delighted to see Power finally dropped. Hopefully he is never seen in blue and white again.

Obst? wtf...

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Nice... Interesting to see that we elevated Obst, cant wait to see how he handles it.

 

[viccles]

Goodbye Powers, Harris, Jones and Thomas!

 

[numchuks]

Crocker quite obviolsy shitting his pants that he'll lose his job coz he hasn't given the kids enough of a run this season, so is throwing them all in plus the kitchen sink for the last 2 games.

 

[Event Horizon]

Most of the ins are probably there as a last chance.

 

[onthewake]

I am actually surprised that Lindsay Thomas has been dropped. I thought the past couple of weeks he has actually been much better from a playing the ball point of view and thought he could have held his spot because of it.
We all know he goes down and more importantly stays down over very soft incidences or even if there was no incident where as the past 2 - 3 weeks he has got back up much quicker and not played for the free kick which I think is a great sign if he can cut his scuba steve part of his game out

Depends whether Scott had any influence in the team selection this week. But id say it will go a long way to helping him decide who or not to cut

 

[The Big H]

Urquhart and Thomas are the future and have locked in a place for next year. The others dropped may well be gone and the others coming in like obst would be playing for their life.

 

[year of the roo]

Well if Wundke and Riggio are not playing now, they never will. Gone. Simmo and Watt are gone. So that's 4. Obst, Edwards, Smith and Lower are playing for their careers. Pratt and Jones should be safe, Harro and Power in trouble. A decision may already have been made there.

 

[snrub]

Very interesting changes. I'm quite pleased that all these guys are getting a chance to show their worth, though I don't think it's a team necessarily picked to win a game of football. What are those mobile all-terrain military assault vehicles called?

 

[brettman135]

Who cares about the result it is all about Power has finally got dropped!!!!!

Are you going to pull out your cheque book to cover his 2010 salary pay out?

Do you honestly think that's what is happening here? I mean I know you love to be controversial but I don't think you have thought this one through.

 

[Zondor]

That's a tall side.

Good to see Powers given the axe.

YOTR makes a valid point about Spud.

ASLAVs? Bushmasters? APCs?

 

[Joshen]

I will LOL so hard if we win this game.

But, I agree with Numchuks it looks like Crocker has been so conservative with his selections in the past 7 weeks that now that he knows he is not going to get the job he is going on a axe wielding spree.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

believe he's searching for tanks.

 

[Chadwiko]

I really hope Lower, Edwards, and Smith show enough to be retained for 2010. Cruize is safe so he can afford to have a quiet one surely.

Obst is the unknown.

 

[Giveadogabone]

No Power, Thomas, Jones = best team all year.

 

[DarwinRoo]

No Power, Thomas, Jones = best team all year.

The best team all year also doesn't contain Harris.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

^^ Aah, touché!

 

[chubbspeterson]

I heard these guys had been going well in the two's, so I'm happy to see them all get a shot. Good to have a look at Josh Smith, Obst and Lower, as well as Cruize. Could've almost dropped Lachie and a few others, would've been nice to see Ross or Riggio before the year is out.
