Possibly, but Frost is very strong and as long as the ball is brought to ground will beat Hooker 9 times out of 10 in a 50/50 contest.

When is Hartigan due back ?

When is Hartigan due back ?

Week after.

 

[Noel Gallagher]

My 5 year old son looked at me at the siren and said "next week, the Bombers". He had hatred in his eyes.

Proud moment.

Bless his little soul, has been raised right, kudos to you sir

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Not that bad, no.

But...Jon Ralph....

Joke. Cunningham has one arm free, all he has to do is drop the ball and brace for impact. Doesn’t. Stiff s**t.

 

[westhawk]

Out Morrison
In hanrahan

Don't see any other changes happening.

If we get razor umpiring us (and assuming we can attend) can we please cheer him, he needs love at the moment

The team looked hard and tough last night, we don’t need Hanrahan coming in. One of, Bramble, DGB, Brockman I would be bringing in.

 

[grumbleguts]

We know this isn’t the Ceglar we’ve gotten for his whole career. Tonight was the best game I can remember him ever playing, it’s a complete outlier but you’re right, he’d be incredibly stiff to get dropped.

Maybe the emergence of Reeves has given Ceglar a reason to actually play like he gives a sh1t.

If you'd been watching Box Hill, Ceglar has dominated there since he was dropped. This is not the outlier.

 

[Hava Alle]

Fair point, worried about Hooker. But we can stretch their defence with Kosi, BB, and TOB.
Who do they have? Francis, BZT?

Ridley and Laverde also. Laverde has been good of late.

 

[grumbleguts]

Changes? Well the opposition's modus operandi for cheating has changed from COLA to drugs.

 

[TylerDurden]

Ridley and Laverde also. Laverde has been good of late.

They're not key defenders. Good luck to em.

1. Cegs has played well before. He's just been pretty ordinary(perhaps due to niggles and injuries more than anyhthing) over the last 2 years.
2. The thought that he 'doesn't give a s**t' is rubbish, and the sort of crap that would only ever be said from behind a keyboard.

 

[Hava Alle]

They're not key defenders. Good luck to em.

6 foot 4 and 6 foot 3 respectively. Laverde has been playing on key fwds and playing well. Ridley more of a hybrid but definitely can play tall.

 

[Big Hotdog]

Callow comes with that mans body also, it honestly changes the contests dramatically. Their was a play in the Sydney game which kozzi ran straight through the bloke in front and he could barely move.

If we had two of those forwards hitting defenders it not only bring the crumbers into the game but every defender has a few thoughts when they do it again and again and again

And wasnt that sweet...
Was it Cunningham our Lloyd?

McEvoy is 200cm
Kosi 196cm
TOB 194cm

We also have Lewis, Jeka, and Callow as other options.

My point is, we'll stretch that defence like we did to the Swans last night.

 

[grumbleguts]

Geez seriously! Getting suspended for that?!

It's like saying that a player should be suspended if a guy flying for a screamer falls and hits the ground from his shoulders. If he weren't there, he wouldn't have been hurt.

 

[hawka32]

I hope that Brockman comes in for Morrison if there is still no VFL next week. Not sure what that does for team balance but who else plays wing? Bramble?

I think it would be good for Lewis to go back to the VFL and fight his way back into the team. See Ceglar for what happens when there is actually some competition for spots. His efforts had been poor for a while and I think we’ll learn a bot about his character by how he responds.

in: Brockman

out: Morrison(inj)

No one else deserves to be dropped on last nights game.

 

[Walshawk]

Burgoyne is so cooked. He goes to ground a lot and takes ages to get back up. Very sad to watch. I would play him this week, sub the next, then full games for his 400th. If he does not retire then, he would be the sub each week for the rest of the season. He can play forward, mid or back so is actually the perfect sub (or would have been a few years ago).
Out - Morrison, Morris
In - Gunston if fit otherwise Maginness (who also comes in if Worps misses).
Time to give Finn a confidence boost with a couple of games in the seniors.

I’d think Saunders and Bramble more of chance of playing the Morrison role.

I don’t like the idea of Burgs being sub before he gets the 400 up after that do whatever.

Poor decision to make him sub a few weeks ago.

 

[kazzooka]

Clarko comments suggest Callow not far off. Newcombe performance won’t hurt. Both very solid performers in state leagues

Jeka is an elite performer in state league but struggled in AFL so far.

 

[SA HAWK]

Jeka is an elite performer in state league but struggled in AFL so far.

In fairness we played terribly in both games he played.

 

[TylerDurden]

Tom Morris saying Worpel got 1 week?? Surely not.

 

[eldorado]

If we can back up last night with a win against the Bombers, we can start salvaging something out of this misbegotten year...

 

[SA HAWK]

Tom Morris saying Worpel got 1 week?? Surely not.

I think it was just his opinion?
