[Danger in Texas]

No Keath or Brown still on restricted training,
Hunter for JJ,

Fair enough on those two

Highly doubt Hunter gets games

B: Wigg, Talia, Doedee
Hb: Douglas, Hartigan, Laird
C: Cameron, M Crouch, Knight
Hf: Lynch, Walker, Atkins
F: Menzel, McGovern, Dear
R: Jacobs, Hampton, Smith
I: Otten, O'Brien, Ellis-Yolmen, Greenwood, Gallucci, Polhoke

Interrupted preseason: Sloane, B Crouch, Thompson, Brown, Seedsman, Cheney, Brown, Jenkins, Keath

On ice: Betts

That lineup looks alright, although will Walker/Sauce also be put on ice?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Those players would benefit through having a champ in the midfield with them to ensure they get plenty of footy, without that class you may not see them shine

Pressure builds diamonds.

Excited to see who puts their hand up.

 

[jackster83]

Every cloud...

Good chance for some newbies or fringe players to step up. I hope they get first crack at it.

Watch us only name 22 instead of the 25 or 26 that we're allowed for PS games.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

That lineup looks alright, although will Walker/Sauce also be put on ice?

Jenkins will come in for later games, so walker can miss then

Sauce needs to prove himself after an average 2016. Again he can miss later game.

 

[Deaneus!]

Wow. Where did you hear that?

I was sworn to secrecy

In fact I've said too much

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Whilst I wouldn't say joy, in the long run getting games into these guys is going to help when we have a real crack in 2018.

We just don't have the midfield for 2017.

the never ending build...

Do you have a letterhead?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Do you have a letterhead?

Sure does.

A port power supporters comments on Hampton claiming he has watched him play before and that he isn't that good

"I watched him a number of times little fella when he was at GC....i know a lot more than you do....You get knowledge thru living doing and experience...Not by sitting in a lounge chair"

I noticed that he mentioned he had watched him before, he said he played for Gold Coast??? I just found this amusing as Hampton came from GWS so clearly he has never watched him play before haha

 

[Murray2503]

Think the injuries to sloane and b crouch may have a silver lining as it will give plenty of opportunities over the next month for hampton, menzel, polky, gallucci, cey, knight, doedee and dear to cement a spot come round 1.

 

[BRL121]

It's been a while since we had a really stupid injury (i.e. Brad Symes falling off the back of a ute or VB's sled clanger). Sloaney's face seems to break really easily - he must be made of porcelain lol.

Boxer's helmet, round 1.

 

[Deaneus!]

Do you have a letterhead?

No, but you may subscribe to my newsletter...

 

[BRL121]

Who the hell went and fractured Sloaney's eye socket ?? Uurrghhhhh

Clearly, one of the new midfielders.

He takes the phrase
"look danger in the eye "
to literally.
Puts his head where heads should not be.

 

[azza77]

Wish I shared your confidence with Menzel as a mid, I'm not seeing it personally.

Menzel small forward for now. Cameron increased midfield time + wing, with a few extra stints for the great man Eddie Betts

 

[Thinker]

How does a finger to the eye fracture the socket?

It doesn't but an elbow will do the job

 

[GreyCrow]

It doesn't but an elbow will do the job

Smithers!!!

 

[FR0GGY]

Smithers!!!

Bickley

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Will Sloane wear the Batman mask again? Almost worth it if so

 

[Squiba]

Keen to see if the JLT performers in the midfield get kept on during the home and away season. Would hate too see a Greenwood/Hampton/Knight tracking nicely only too see a cooked Thommo or Dmac take there place come the crunch

Nah he just puts his head over the ball every single time.
