[Heeney2Franklin]

After hurting his knee in the 2013 Semi has Tippett played 3 consecutive games?

Has there been a game where Tippet has kicked 3 or more and we have lost?

Reid (and Naismith) to play state football this week. I can only imagine it's to give him more time playing in defence.

It's either a sign that he isn't as safe as he used to be in the seniors or the coaches are desperate to fast track his development as a defender.

 

[grimlock]

Safely assume that means no McGlynn, Tippett or McVeigh playing this weekend then.

 

[SSwans2011]

I deliberated it for a long time, before finally chucking Dean Towers in my SC team. Really do think he will play a part this year. Yay or nay, fellas?

 

[Ticky009]

And I have my doubts of McGlynn lining up for Round 1. No mention of him at all in any press by the club as 'being in the mix'. Suspect that's why Heeney was getting so much game time in the NAB.

 

[S120]

Yeh I can't be confident that McGlynn will play in round 1 or that it's smart for him to. After missing the entire NAB Challenge, he surely has to play a few games in the reserves.

Ditto with McVeigh except in his case, I imagine he'll count as one of the seniors who are pretty much immune from ever having to play reserves. He'll come back in the seniors.

Not sure how well he'll point with so little game time, still, he's one of the few players in our side who can point on either side of his body.

Quality !

Coaches, for some reason, do a lot of pointing at quarter time, perhaps that could be Macca's game day role?

That isn't a bad thing, we need to add some class and Heeney is more likely (even with his 18 year old body) to cut it against the Hawks midfield. If McGlynn isn't playing as a defensive forward I see very little value especially as a starting mid.

Don't get too far ahead. Would still back McGlynn. Didn't do well in the GF but still a great gut runner. I understand your point against quality midfielders but still a solid contributor. If not fit though come back through the twos.

He is decent, but ideally we don't have McGlynn in the centre square, he should be up forward, he is always good for a goal. He doesn't get enough ball to be a midfielder full time.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Basically a full squad. Need to come out firing against Essendon, with a solid 4+ goal win and no big injuries.

Rampe also needs to lose the handlebars. Looks atrocious.

4 goal+ win if Essendon are able to name a full squad. It should be a 15 goal win if Essendon's players are banned.

I'm assuming they'll be full strength. The AFL is pissweak, but that's another matter.

I think Bud and Tippett will kick 3 goals each and we'll see a 5 goal win.

 

[The King!]

Wonder how fired up the dons will be

 

[vonn]

I thought it was ASADA handing down the punishment on 31st March not AFL, so I don't imagine AFL being pissweak will have much bearing. Is that right eth-dog?

It's not either I'm led to believe. One of your mods mentioned the tribunal panel earlier in the thread, not sure what they're called.
