Seems Levi already likes the wing quite a bit.

 

[Franc de Borges]

For some reason I had it in my head that Geelong was next. Phew.

Having said that, our MCG form has been deplorable this year.

 

[RedFury]

That would be a total kick in the guts for 46. Really sick of him being the last in, first out guy. Deserves some belief, Carrots hasn't played decent, consistent footy for yonks.

Agree with this. I think our team is at the stage where Carrots needs to come back through the VFL and earn his place. Has been very average and injury prone for a while. It sends a poor message to the guys having a real crack when they are just continuing dropped every time he is supposedly ready to come back.

There are very few players who deserve to come straight back into our team after prolonged layoffs. Judd is one, IMO Carrots would have been 2 years ago, but should be no longer.

We have the MCG specialist! DENNIS!

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Dennis to run with Dangerfield.

Everitt to run with Sloane?

Seems about right, I wonder how far Curnow is.
Might need to rotate on Sloane as no one can run with him for a whole match.

 

[HBF]

I'm pretty confident Murph should escape suspension but didn't see Simon White's incident with Dunstan, anything to worry about?

Betts

Murph should be fine as it was more of a collision than a bump, but you just never know with the MRP. You could see him try and get out of Riewoldt's way as he was coming up after he gathered the ball.

Not sure about White - seemed to me he got him more front on/down the middle that the head, but it's hard to tell from the footage.

 

[FRUMPY]

Robinson will get one/two weeks for his punch.
Murphy will get off
White should get off but might get one under the lottery system

Waite/Carrots/Bell the ins. Judd to play in the 2nds for one week.

Judd said he is 2,3,4 weeks away in an interview so who knows..

either way he has to play ressies for a week at a minimum

 

[Sam The Doc]

Robinson connected a punch did he?
Not sure why we were so angry last night, we were playing against a team of kids...

 

[HARKER]

Sort of expect the following line-up at this stage..

Buckley Jamison McInnes
Docherty Rowe Tuohy
Simpson McLean Gibbs
Thomas Henderson Menzel
Ellard Waite Casboult

Warnock Bell Murphy

Yarran Walker Everitt Armfield

Irrespective of what happens for this match, we should put as many games into Menzel, Buckley, Docherty and even McInnes for the rest of this year whilst also giving Cripps, Graham and possibly Holman, games also.

We'll be glad we did. All the guys are made of the right stuff and will serve us for years to come.

he did, a nice straight right. But to be fair, he flat out couldn't see, as his jumper was pulled over his head at the time

Hopefully they consider that it is Robinson and he was probably concussed somewhat as usual.
Frustrating as he is playing a bit better since coming back in the team.

The first thing I do when someone pulls a jumper over my head is throw haymakers at eye-level.
Made it hard for mum to dress me as a toddler.

On White and Murph, both had the players they nailed pushed into their paths. Surely that is the first thing the defence says if they are called up to the tribunal.

 

[HBF]

Reckon they'll give Judd a game for the NB's we play in Brisbane and bring him back in for the Cats.
(Assuming he's right to that that weekend)

^^^^
And no Chapman to worry about this time around either.

That's gold right there.

I reckon Mitch's hand would be extremely sore today. Lets hope its not another injury and the bye does him good.

Jeffy out, Waite in.

Mitch out (if injured), Carrots in.

His niche right there...or right side outside fiffty .

white will be fine there was really not much in it at all. No malice. If murph gets a week then the MRP is a joke.

well, they are...

 

[Jimaki]

Think Menz, DylBucks and Sam need a rest. Thoughts?

Good thing the bye has come at the right time then. We have so many good young kids its awesome.

What is it with all the hand/finger injuries this year to date: Gibbs, Bell, Watson, McLean and Robinson.
