[thylacine60]

Jake has to keep kicking goals. Bit hacked off he's not in.

 

[one_twelve112]

Armfield in the squad...I'm wrapped.

 

[HBF]

Hartlett for O'hailpin would be the only change for mine.

 

[jonoman89]

Hartlett for O'hailpin would be the only change for mine.

yep. i think bentick deserves a go too, whether it be this week or next.

 

[Banga19]

Hartlett for O'hailpin would be the only change for mine.

I agree...

Would love to see Army get a game but I can't see who'd come out for him...

 

[THEBLOODS85]

NO CHANGE

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Looking at the bench, Hartlett for Setanta is the only possible change and that might not even happen.

Grigg, Pfeiffer and Bannister are certainties to stay. Though if Armfield was to play it would be for Pfeiffer.

I think the Blues are deliberately naming Russell in the starting 18 to avoid speculation about him being dropped as they intend to teach him and give him every opportunity.

 

[as0l0]

no change.

who could you possibly omit from a team that gave us such a famous victory?

 

[Blue Dimension]

no change.

who could you possibly omit from a team that gave us such a famous victory?

Anyone who didn't play up to standard. Just because we won doesn't mean the whole side played well.

 

[TBNB]

You beauty!

Armfield is in, i just hope he makes it into the squad. I'm confident he will.

Over the moon.

any names to go with that? who didn't give it everything they had?

 

[marcmurphy3]

any names to go with that? who didn't give it everything they had?

Doesnt matter what they gave, fact is you can't just keep every player in no matter what just because we won.

Hartlett is a better option then O'hAilpin up forward. I would also drop Russ but it seems that won't happen.

 

[parrot]

Hartlett for O'hailpin would be the only change for mine.

I'd be amazed if Setanta is dropped after Ratten publicly stated his intentions to develop Setanta as a KP forward. Thought he did OK V Pies.

 

[Blue Dimension]

any names to go with that? who didn't give it everything they had?

Has nothing to do with giving everything a person has. It's about performance. If there's anywhere we can improve or anyone that we can change to improve on our structure and overall team then it should be done.

6 disposals, 3 marks and a goal is not impressive. Just because Ratten stated that it doesnt give O'hAilpin rights to the 22.

Hartlett took 9 marks and kicked 4 in the VFL btw.

 

[big_sav]

if only we had walker to tear robbo a new one

 

[HBF]

I'd be amazed if Setanta is dropped after Ratten publicly stated his intentions to develop Setanta as a KP forward. Thought he did OK V Pies.

Just didn't do enough last week, despite what Ratten said about him being devloped as a forward.

 

[blues4flag]

You beauty!

Armfield is in, i just hope he makes it into the squad. I'm confident he will.

Over the moon.

Highly unlikely. Bannister, Grigg and Pfeiffer all did enough to justify a spot/

 

[TBNB]

Yeah but it'll be great for his confidence none the less.

I hope he does get a go, i'd love for him to make a fantastic debut.

 

[chimpreo]

pfeifer didnt do enough to warrant a spot. a few turnovers and sloppy disposals in my mind.

he kicked a goal, but not even that should save him.

pfeifer for armfield
ohalpin for hartlett

 

[WeninRome]

would not be suprised if armfield is brought in to play a role on davey.

hartlett will come in for sentanta.

Can people stop saying russel should be dropped, its obvious he will be there for a few weeks, if he proves he is not up to it by then, then im sure he will be axed. Until then he seems to be improving every week.

 

[CarltonFan]

why is everyone calling for o'hAilpin to face the axe? carlos brings us that X factor, will play forward, can go back or run around in the mids or fill in as ruckman if krooooooze gets tired.

let hartlett play as the main forward in the 2's for a while b4 rushing him back.
and im not sure army is ready for AFL.

No Change please.

Errr... he was suspended not injured. "Rushing him back" clearly isn't an issue here as he's been playing in the VFL whilst he's been suspended.

Hmmm, I don't think he was. If you are suspended in the AFL, you can not play in the VFL I am pretty sure.
