Is Austin a chance to come back in?!

AFL website lists him as a week with a groin injury.

In my opinion, he's as good, if not better key position defender than Thornton, but his real value lies in allowing Thornton to play loose and intercept incoming I50s or just fill the hole.

We missed having both our 2nd and 3rd choice tall backs out last night - hopefully if he can make a return, we will return to our preferred structure that IMO creates a pretty decent young backline.

I've heard 2 weeks. I'm not sure whether that means he plays in 2 weeks, or that means he plays for the Bullants first then in the seniors the week after.

He would have been so, so handy last night. He and Pauly.
 
Once we improve our skills I think we can beat any team, at the moment though our skills seems to be that of a side 14 or so on the ladder.
 
Hopefully Bower is back, but not expecting him to be. I am very keen to get Simon White into the team. I'd take out Anderson and give Whitey a shot. White seems a perfect match-up for Monfries, a player who has gotten under our guard alot in recent times.
 
I think the one we really have to watch is Stanton i think is a very under rated player got 30 odd touches against Geelong, Joseph will most likley play on Davey. Hope Lucas has a good game for the Ants this weekend, would love to see him get a game and also Davies. I think White or Davies will come in for Anderson's spot i would think most likley White.

My team

B: Joseph - Jamison - Bower
HB: Russell - Thornton - Armfield
C: Carrazzo - McLean - Gibbs
HF: Simpson - Waite - Houlihan
F: Betts - O'hAlphin - Henderson
FOLL: Kreuzer - Murphy - Scotland
INC: Warnock - White - Robinson - Walker

EMG: Lucas - Jacobs - Anderson




IN: White

OUT: Anderson

According to your team Bower has also come in :confused:

I like this team but I would also change Robertson with Lucas.


We must win this, hope it;s a hard slog for them on Sunday, us with extra recovery, I'd like to see Waite roaming the forward line, we need the mids to kick more goals this week, ie: Murphy and Gibbs.

Blues by 25

(If Essendon drop the Freo game they are in big trouble, how nice would it be to give them a zip - 3 start to the season !! Go Blues)
 
We need a quick line breaker and goal kicker if we're to beat the Bombers.

We didn't get the balance right at the Lions.

We looked slow over the ground with Walker required to plug holes down back after he started well.

In: Garlett
Out: Robinson

FB: Joseph Jamison Anderson
HB: Armfield Thornton Russell
C: Gibbs Scotland Simpson
HF: Yarran Waite Carrazzo
FF: Betts O'hAilpin Henderson
Foll: Kreuzer Mclean Murphy

I/C: Walker Houlihan Garlett Warnock
 
A good chance that Yarran will be dropped after he failed once again to be any where near as good as Cyril Rioli on a bad day!!!
 
I think we should give Marcus Davies a chance. He will inject a bit of mongrel into the back line which we could have used on Thursday night.


In: Davies, Bower
Out: Armfield, Anderson

FB: Joseph Jamison Bower
HB: Davies Thornton Russell
C: Gibbs Simpson Scotland
HF: Houlihan Henderson Carrazzo
FF: Betts Waite O'hAilpin
Foll: Kreuzer Mclean Murphy

I/C: Walker Yarran Robinson Warnock

White off the rookie list for mine, if Bower doesn't come up. He is meant to have explosive pace off the mark, and would be good to combat the threat of Mark Williams. We have a terrible habit of playing their forwards into form - and we have no direct match-up for Williams.

Armfield quick but perhaps not smart enough;
Joey not composed enough and perhaps not physical enough.

We could help continue the trend of blooding impressive mature aged rookies.

Take out Anderson, and slide White in there - Armfield remains in the 22 for the rest of the season, handled Sherman with supreme professionalism.

Whens hurley coming back for the bombers??
i reckon there will be a few changes to the blues:
OUT: Anderson and Warnock
IN: Bower and Hampson or Jacobs

Should be a good game struggled against the bombers in the past. Its always a great feeling beating them:D

Warnock should play week in week out. He's only played 2 games, give big fella some time. He's a bit off his game at the moment but his effort is there-he will improve with time and will be awesome in tandem with Kruz.
 
just looking at the preview,,,geez its early and you already have 4 pages up!!! if we win sunday Neagle wont play against you guys, and laycock will get a game i dont know when,,,he isnt even the 1st ruck at bendigo... bellchambers is.....it will be the same side bar injuries!!

and since when did we have a worrying pace??

and thought i might add what is it with hawthorn wank#$s jumping on everyones boards bagging them when they couldnt even follow up a flag with making the finals?? and why do they think they are shoeins to make it this year when they didnt last year???
 
I'm still on page two...
