[3KZ is Football]

Willie Rioli suspended immediately for drugs test breach- OOOPPS.

I suppose our path to the flag goes like this then
- we beat GWS and Collingwood
- Geelong beat West Coast and Richmond

WE BEAT GEELONG. Probably the first time (perhaps) that First AND Second on the ladder lose their Qualifying Finals and then both go the long way to compete in a GF

 

[jackess]

We've swapped Robbo for Robbo

Interesting choice. I assume we plan to use him as a tagger

 

[iBeng]

Robbo for Robbo...Not unexpected. Could we not pick Bastinac on the account of him being rookied?

So ******* salty.

Bastinac bent over, skewered and left to die.

Finally !!!!!
Nick Robbo is back. Hopefully stays in and meets Martin in Granny

Happy Nick gets another game.
Although you thought Basti ,Lester,Taylor or Matho was in. Squizy not even a emerg

could play in defense and release Bailey to wing.

 

[Macca225]

Good in, very much a like for like, Nick is a great runner and won't be pushed around if the Giants come out to physically intimidate us.

Bailey hasn't been playing defence for a while

Not sure what you mean. Squizzy is named as emergency. Matho isn't.

 

[BrownYouGun]

If I’m Matheson / Cutler I start looking at my options elsewhere now. Can’t agree with that choice at all - probably 5 blokes I’d have picked first but trust in Fages I guess

 

[mpal6]

Bailey hasn't been playing defence for a while

ok, get Answerth up to wing then

 

[Mavlions1961]

This is a good selection, he wont take any crap, can tag, can kick goals, has a huge tank and can defend, he will make the most of this opportunity.

 

[bato]

I'll only be happy with Robertson if:

A) He isn't forced to defend.
B) He learns how to kick it long and on its side like Robinson. Has a certain technique which allows it to always bounce forward when it hits the ground.

 

[AFLQLD]

Nick will be given a job to do on a GWS player I would think. His endurance and physicality are his big weapons and used well he can have a real impact.

 

[Shaq attack]

Happy with Robbo in. Adds a bit of mongrel and versatility to the team. Sure, there are other players who have better form or a just better full stop but Robbo is the best fit for our structure.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Not convinced that Nick Robertson is the best choice and also not convinced that after two straight losses, the last one pretty brutal, that only one omission is enough. Still, you have to hand it to Fagan, he is loyal.

That said, good luck to all players and for goodness sake, can we please have a few tall forwards standing up an hitting the scoreboard.

I'm expecting McCluggage, the best player on the wing in the AFL to start there and Bailey to play half forward flank.

 

[wantok]

Good selection.Will provide similar tackling pressure and run

It's the right choice.

I don't think Nick bring physicality to the contest, not saying he is soft.. just not known for big bumps and tackles. He will help play a bit of a security guard role around the ground

 

[harvester]

Congrats Nick. He deserves a spot in the side.

If we progress beyond this point, he'll be good choice to do tagging jobs on players like Sidebottom and potentially Martin. Good time to get him in and see how he goes.
