They are top , bit early to say if they are the best . Good test for us .

 

[Jamurp]

This could be a bit of a danger game, If we come out flat and fumbly I'll be seriously pissed off. GC aren't bad at home, will give us a good fight, need to be on from the start unlike the Brisbane/Essendon games.

 

[Lord Nev]

Petty back in for Schache. Looks like Harmes likely to be sub. No Spargo,

 

[Toump Ass]

I was keen to see the Shackey Attackey one more week, see what he could do.
Not a fan of this one.
Surprised Melkman didn't get called up.

Neither Melksham or Spargo in the emergencies is a bit strange I reckon.

 

[Scythe]

No Melksham or T-Mac in the emergencies

 

[schmuttt]

Spargo named for Casey?

 

[SugarHealey]

Hibberd was getting some ice after being subbed but I'm not aware of any injury.

He has Achilles soreness. He's being managed.

ps: Actually, this match could also be a good game for Hibbo to rest from.

He has a wrist injury anyway

He has a wrist injury anyway

Was apparently right to play and is in the emergencies though.

Yeah I saw that, I realised it said test so obviously came up OK.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Hmm. Would have though Petty's Protocol would've prevented him from playing this Saturday. Isn't his 2-weeks finishing up on Monday next week? Still confused by that.

It’s 12 days not two weeks

 

[MarcMaverick]

OK.

Still would have thought that even 12 days would have included this Saturday. Would have played him against the Hawks.

They can play on the 12th day. There's a whole structured time frame to it on what they should do every day, it's not just "12 days off".

Thanks for the clarification guys. Still would have kept him back till the Hawks. Then again if he wanted match fitness via the VFL he would have had to play in GC anyway.

+1

Even if Schache has a stinker he keeps JVR out of the ruck at least.

So who do you drop Fritta? Petty in is a 100 times better.

 

[Toump Ass]

Don’t think Petty has been great this year, bit of vfl won’t hurt.

Schache is anything but a long term option and Petty's learning a role. Would be silly to drop him.

I just kinda like cheering a spud or two tho, reminds me of the old days.

Don't worry we still have Jared Jordon, a full blow spud in any other era but lucky to be in this one

You could always cheer on the worst kick in our team, Clayton Oliver
