Changes v Brisbane

[alexmc]

Mackay to be travelling emergency, not play and yet get brought back in next week for no reason?

You read my mind. But still, mackay omitted - celebrate good times cmon!

 

[Samcro24]

Wow - Jenkins and McKay - 9 years of contacts just got dropped. Great news.

About 1 mill per annum too.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Those are some nice selections. Wasn't expecting either Mackay or Jenkins to be dropped but it needed to happen. DMac has been skating on thin ice for a while and Jenkins needs to regain some touch after injury.

 

[Elite Crow]

So Knight hasn't recovered and is playing no footy.

Cheney back, I wonder how many games before he replaces Kelly?

2-4 im guessing. Interesting to see if Doedee will enter the mix for his spot too.

 

[Bicks]

Midfield supremacy just got lots harder...
And don't be surprised if hard at it inside mid Rhys Mathieson is a late inclusion if it's a bog track.

Well done selectors! Logical in terms of our midfield deficiencies, and courageous to pick two guys with the most upside in our B's when the safe option of Thompson was available.

 

[whitey_1975]

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Happy with the changes

However

DMac should not have been made an emergency and I hope that he does not travel with the team and receive another SOFT recall without having to earn his way back through sanfl performances

On JJ the club made a mistake bringing him straight back in however with that said no doubt that he is paying the price for his lack of physicality

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Has Knight been named in SANFL?

No ruled out with his corky

That's the big thing to me. The real move that takes balls is to not bring Mackay back immediately or even after he puts up good stats in the SANFL like the last two years.

 

[MarcusP2]

Wow - Jenkins and McKay - 9 years of contacts just got dropped. Great news.

Mackay is OOC next year. His 4 year contract was signed 3 years ago.

 

[fabs33]

Finally some balls at the selection committee.

Finally some balls from our selectors..

WOW so we might have some balls after all!

Nice to see some balls from the club to drop JJ and Mackay.

Well done Pyke for having the balls to make some changes and to blood some new youngsters.

 

[Swooping Crow]

Chris Cornell dies.

Back to being gutted

Do we know what happened?

 

[MRB37]

Fagan mentioned they're putting out a mini doco about Greenwood too and his journey to become an AFL footballer.

Edit: here it is.

Will Beams definitely play?

 

[Bicks]

So Knight hasn't recovered and is playing no footy.

Cheney back, I wonder how many games before he replaces Kelly?

Given Cheney's history of "strings" don't go getting too excited.

 

[Cleric]

Well I was wrong. Never thought they'd drop JJ...

I think this is a statement to JJ. You want to hold the club over for big money then you better perform.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Mackay to be travelling emergency, not play and yet get brought back in next week for no reason?

Can't we just enjoy the moment?

 

[Country_Crow]

Taken years for a strong message like this from AFC.

Genuinely stoked, hopefully sets a precedent for the future.

Go the Mighty Thor!!

 

[Firewalker]

No ruled out with his corky

Are they going to start calling every hamstring injury at the club 'corky's' now? Surely this is the club's media machine kicking into over drive again trying to protect them from talk that they rushed Knight back too quick from his hammy ailment and he done something to it again

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Am I reading this right? Or am I drunk?

 

[conVINCEd]

Mackay to be travelling emergency, not play and yet get brought back in next week for no reason?

The Brent Reilly Special*.

I'm keen to see Pyke's reasoning for dropping Mackay and Jenkins.

*assuming Sloane/Hampton/A Crouch isn't a last minute withdrawal letting Mookay take his place on an easy wing against the Lions.

 

[Bicks]

Will Beams definitely play?

I expect so, it was reported last week he was close..

 

[Cleric]

Chris Cornell dies.

Back to being gutted

I just heard. Devo'ed.
Soundgarden were one of my teen bands. I was a Seattle groupie.
Man, this sucks balls.
