I keep both eyes wide open on the contest. Not one eye on the ball; and one browneye to the back of contest. adatpower.

You need to be having words with Langdon and not me mate.
 
IN: Tomlinson, Laurie, Grundy, Chandler, Hibbo.

OUT: Petty, Spargo.

Glad they aren't risking Petty, assume Tommo comes in for him.

Id like to see Laurie come in for Spargo, need him to get a run to see if he can play but suspect Chandler will be the one who comes in.

Would love Hibbo to come in for JJ and have Rivers play up the ground but unlikely that happens.

you did? Because of his attitude?

No, I never said he wouldn't be picked for the rest of the year.

He was dropped after the Collingwood game because of his attitude that week and I believe that will contribute to him being traded, but I never said he wouldn't be picked for the rest of the year.

However, if you can quote me I will put "booshboy is king" in my profile for the week.

"Timestamps would be appreciated."

Really hope Chandler can regain his early season form, he is a significant upgrade on Spargo.
Correct.

Personally, I do love when our forwards are a chance at scoring from 40 metres out. Maybe that's just me though

Yeah I like Spargo but when our talls can't mark you need more from your forwards than just a nice kick. Bowey forward please

Game 150 for Langdon this weekend, too.

I miss long-haired Ed – bald/buzz-cut wingers just don't hit the same.

Obviously he's dropped off a bit this year, but was one of our most important players in 2021 and is still vital to our structure.

Another gift from Freo :rainbow:
 
Casey play the day before the 1s this week, I wonder if they hold grundy over?
I’d be staggered if they held Grundy over given Goodwin stated Grundy will play as a forward in the VFL. Not playing Grundy at either level would be the worst of both worlds.

Which begs the question “Why name Grundy as an emergency at all?”.

If it’s contingency for a Gawn pre game injury then it will be too late because Grundy has played the day before.

If Gawn hurt himself today then Melbourne can change their squad anyway and could’ve added Grundy when they removed Gawn. Same if it’s because Brown or JvR are doing a fitness test today.

Schache would be the one to hold over or only use for half a game in the VFL on the very small chance something happens to Gawn pregame.

So yeah, Grundy being named in the squad is a head scratcher given the timing of the VFL and AFL games.

I wouldn't overthink it, you've gotta pick emergencies either way. You can have no intention of playing guys and the emergency spot is just the next group in line for a game.
 
Maybe they plan on Grundy kicking 15 by half time in the VFL and bringing him in to kick 10 in the AFL a day later.

Hes a fast learner and became a KPF in a game and a half. Thank god Goody decided to expose him as a forward in the VFL.
