Looks like Doedee had a hit to the head trying to pick up the footy about halfway through the second quarter. Accidental.

Confirmed

Just tuned in to see about the last 5 minutes of the third.
Looking at the stats Oscar with 20 disposals and 27 H/O. At least he is playing.
Reville backing up has 16, i wonder if he plays a full game.

I watched the 3 minute highlight real on AFL.com. Oscar actually jumped off the ground twice (once at a centre bounce, once for his mark at the end of the game). That’s exactly 2 more jumps that he took in seniors this season, so perhaps he’s on the mend.

Doedee looking like having one of those seasons. Hopefully he can at least finish the season off strongly and have a full preseason next year.

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

Well the way I look at it he's a top 25 player at the club. Injuries would take him further up the totem pole. Zorko's probably in his last year . Some of the others are very proppy. One thing I don't subscribe to is letting go of your best reserves because you're going to need them , probably permanently at some point.

Zorko has been great why the hell does everybody want him to retire?

So we can keep talking for a year about how we are missing Zorko and how great he was, ala Daniher

Maybe part of the reason he wasnt selected for the seniors

He is listed as an emergency so we could always do a Chris Scott and swing a late change, although doubtful.
But as much as anything it would be a little silly to play him for a full VFL game and then have Fort go down in the warm up.
With there being a 5 day turnaround we may opt to give Fort a rest next week.

I know we are off a bye but glad to hear we are thinking about the need for changes off the short break.

If we are really being smart we would give 2-3 players only a three quarter game and be willing to make some changes

The blues at some stage will beat a good side through pure exuberance. hoping it ain't us!

 

[Mr Ripper]

With the outs (including Oscar who was named), we might be past the top-ups tipping point. Need nine or ten from Shagga to get up methinks.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Bonus: ZZ will get another run in the ruck.

 

[briztoon]

Very excited to see Caylen Murray play.

 

[knaf]

Arnold not listed?

Arnold not listed?

Missed last game with a back injury

 

[Mr Ripper]

Shagga and Bruce both playing.

 

[Crusha]

Will be interesting to see how Zak's spring heels go up against Crossley's man mountain blocking ..... hopefully Huddo has put a bit of work into him this week.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Some unusual numbers being worn today?

 

[Nathan Barley]

Nice work by Zz then

Meekin is in Doedee’s 12 and Greenaway’s in 27.
