The Ken Hinkley cup, enjoy him next year guys.

Jeez, I remember some of your guys saying he looked like a pedo on the very day of his appointment. Even we're not that harsh on our coaches.

 

[AlecDuncan]

Any chance of Lemmy getting a call-up before the year ends? I don't expect him to star if he does, I just want them all to get a taste of senior footy.

Assuming Lemmey plays in the twos this weekend, a decent showing may get him a taste in the final round, but likely don’t hold your breath.

I wonder if he gets another contract

I hope he does but I know others on here think he is taking too long to coem on

Walsh hasn’t played since Rd13 v ******** that’s 12 weeks ago, let’s not continue doing the same ridiculous routine and rush him/others off long/repeated injuries straight back into senior level…

The match committee has played its role with desperation and idiotic decisions that have caused players more harm by rushing them back, than making them with basic common sense…

12 weeks that's 3 months!..I'd hate to think what you consider a long layoff!...

Carroll Weitering Haynes
Saad L Young Cowan
Acres Cripps Young
Cerra Moir Evans
Williams McKay O'Keefe
DeKoning Hewett Lord
O Hollands Wilson White Durdin
Motlop

Need to persist with the young players, they need games to progress. Thought Wilson finished well, he needs the last few games as a run to come home with, will improve if given games.

I liked Young's ball use and run, rotate him through a wing. Would like to see Carroll have some time on a wing. His ball use and run is impressive.

Carra I would like to see his time split between midfield and forward. He's a decent footballer, he should give us something up forward. I think we should be rotataing Durdin through the middle.

Tempting to bring E Hollands straight in, see how he goes.

No Cerra.

do you drop L Young for Charleson?

 

[bigblueboy]

hmmmm

Lij also has come back after a 3 month lay off....

Doubt he plays AFL this week.

 

[AB_Blue]

Walsh, Gov, Hollands in makes us 4/5 goal better side

 

[ctwenty1]

Doubt he plays AFL this week.

lij or walsh or both?

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

And next week will be 13 weeks.

Yeah understand that, through the reserves would be the smartest way to go, see if he pulls up well then he could be considered for the last game…

Reserves play Sunday and last game is on Thursday night, so they either play him reserves, rush him back into senior level this week or save him for the last game…

Odds on we know what happens here…

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Back up and play both?

What's the difference between playing reserves and seniors if results don't matter for us?

 

[norway blue]

But maybe Sam Walsh needs something to drive his off season. He needs to feel a win and some camaraderie before a big reset in the off season for the club.

Iff ready play him. Imo

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Back up and play both?

Yeah, let it ride…

Interesting pick to hopefully win or blood and win . Team selection will be interesting. Go Blues

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

I’d just like to see the club enforce a better approach to selection, there’s really no reason to backup over it, it’s been subpar for ages…

If anyone thinks that a player missing 3 months of playing senior football and is rushed back into it off the back of no reserves games under his belt, on top of his ongoing back injury…

Then we just see things differently, rinse and repeat, it’s not about the result it’s about the right process in certain circumstances to look after and what’s best for players…

 

[gbatman]

do you drop L Young for Charleson?

I like Charleson, my gut says he does not debut this year. We probably need the height.

Lewis Young playing the last few games and going well also builds trade currency. Was in our best the other week.

I think it would be smart to play players we are interested in trading...

Plenty of time for Charleson who I really rate.

The last two games when we are no chance for finals is a very different context though.

If he gets selected let’s hope he gets through without any problems, he’ll be a bit rusty we’ll see how things go TTK

umm the pace and expectations
