...no?Anybody else here worried a bloke in a Carlton jumper might run on the on the field and do a Monica Seles on Fyfe?
I knew from that day stephen hill his debut game, he would be a 200 gamer for us.**** time flies, doesn't seem that long ago Hill was some skinny lad debuting and the future, now he's a veteran in the twilight of his career.
I don't see Meek getting a game unless Darcy is injured.Saying that, I want meek and valente to play this week. Possibly north.
Is resting Lobb or Darcy possible for meek to get a game this week to see what he can do?
Still don’t think he’ll make itI knew from that day stephen hill his debut game, he would be a 2000 gamer for us.
Amazing they he played 89 games in his 1st 4 years.
Great I was waiting for someone to turn the thread to the actual game! Dogs have everything to play for so i suspect if we dont put them away early they will be very very hard to hold off in the last quarter. This is one of our biggest tests and its unfortunate the gametime isnt middle of the day. A team that plays a nice fast style of play but I think we will match well with how our defence has been purring along. Their mids are good and Caleb Daniels ball use is sublime. This is what we are up against:

Their last game vs HawthornSo what are those stats based on?
Hahaha sorry for that. I was was supposed to say 200 gamer not 2000 gamer.Still don’t think he’ll make it
100%. Haven’t got the mix right, beefed him up far too much too soon. Body can only take so much. Played 200 games straight out of the draft as a 18 year old 68kg kid.I've heard more than one sports scientist say that Hill is too muscular and heavy to achieve that magnificent outside run.
30 year Olds can still fly pretty fast. Weber beefed him up to shake the tag, but it backfired and caused him to break down all the time. There's no point breaking a tag if you can't get out of second gear.
I could be talking crap but I think of he slims down a hit we will see a much improved Hill next year.
That’s probably the short term gain for the long term misery of late for him. His development and body changes was rapid. 100 games within 4/5 years. Insane.I knew from that day stephen hill his debut game, he would be a 200 gamer for us.

Seems like the freo trainers and development coaches tried to bulk him up to play like chris Judd. Mark Harvey coached hill for the 1st 3 seasons.100%. Haven’t got the mix right, beefed him up far too much too soon. Body can only take so much. Played 200 games straight out of the draft as a 18 year old 68kg kid.
Look at his brother. Significantly trim and runs all day. Don’t really care for his denfesive work. Both never should be known for that.
Hill is a product of Ross’ demanding and high effort defensive gameplan. He was great in that role but now his upper body is straining his lower. Not surprised that most of Ross’ list have recurrent issues with muscular/soft tissue over the years. JLo probably has a less demanding more structural gameplan that sets up the team perfectly.
Hopefully Stephen gets a chance, trims down a bit and comes out with less bulk next season. Needs to lose 5kg tbh. Prolongs his career that way
Yeah was crazy he played 89 games in his 1st 4 years as I mentioned. He played 67 out of a possible 68 games under Mark Harvey from 2009-11. Maybe Harvey gave him some lee way in the development end as he was only 68 kg when he started.That’s probably the short term gain for the long term misery of late for him. His development and body changes was rapid. 100 games within 4/5 years. Insane.

Cox out, Logue in.Cox's shoulder injury seemed to be temporary but maybe they'll give him a rest.
I'd rather play them both.Cox out, Logue in.
I was replying to the post that indicated Cox may have a slight injury. Nothing to do with dropping Cox.I'd rather play them both.
Unless the ink is wet on Cox's new deal before Logue takes his spot, the message it sends to Brennan is that the first player fit kicked him out of the position he made his own during the season and there are two even more experienced players to come back.
I think the side actually needs Logue as a key defender alongside Cox.
Even if Logue is fit. I rather rest Logue for next season.[
I’d give Dixon a run if Cox doesn’t come up rather than risk Logue.
