Melksham will probably come in for him.

 

[yodellinhank]

I heard they tried to do a fitness test and his fitness was so high as to be immeasurable using all available knowledge currently in the field.

 

[rines]

Might also come down to conditions.. and Carlton team selection..

You would think that Melksham would be the inclusion.. it would leave us very light on for tall options though..

 

[Hotcox]

Hey guys sorry to intrude. I was just wondering if Jobe Watson will be playing tonight?

We think he is

Of course, why?

 

[Hotcox]

Hurley's got his measure, shut him down in the second half when he had the ball on a string in rd 11.

Laughable to think you consider Hurley to have Waites measure after a half of football. Waite consistently players well against the bombers and will do so again tonight.

 

[Hotcox]

We think he is

No worries thanks, I just heard a whisper that he wasn't playing and Jake Melksham would be a late inclusion.

No, he doesn't. He's had 3 good games against us and about 5-6 mediocre ones

We had a small discussion about this in the Jake Melksham thread, but apparently he was bouncing around on a trampoline on Friday so he surely plays.

The rumours are now surrounding Ambrose

did you watch round 22 last year mate?

 

[Hotcox]

Yeah Waite was kept goalless but I thought Pears had Waite for most of the evening.

Hurley played forward and kicked 3 didn't he?

 

[TD_B52]

I don't think mr ambrose will get up for this one...

 

[HirdyLannister]

I don't think mr ambrose will get up for this one...

Talls are overrated anyway...

 

[mad_monkey_j]

Really going to **** up the forward line if Ambrose misses and one of Daniher and Carlisle are in the ruck.

Waiters been his own worst enemy, one game he hurt us on the scoreboard, the rest he has marked really well, provided a target but let us off the hook with his kicking, I think from memory last year we were down, Hurley was moved to Waite and not only curtailed Waites influence but made him accountable.

But this won't be where the games won or lost, it's dependant on midfield dominance, if we clog you up, setting up rebounding attacks, we'll win, winders to kick 4

Throw Fletch in the ruck and have him punch the ball into our 50 from the square.

How could it not work?

 

[eth-dog]

If we do bring in Pears (even if he isn't an emg) we either have to play him forward, or play Hooker in the ruck. Can't play Hurley forward

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I'd bring in Kav, Hardringham forward.

 

[eth-dog]

I'd bring in Kav, Hardringham forward.

In what world is Kav>Melksham?

 

[LanceRomance]

One of the informed posters on our board said Howlett might miss due to "a broken bone in the face"

How many bones are in the face? just the skull?

 

[JD11]

Really nervous without a ruckman.
