[finrod]

....Maybe experiment with Milburn to CHF.

No thanks. Keep him in the backline where he belongs!

Hunt has to go before Ling...

Hunt has to go before Ling...

this is what im talking about chappy in my previous closed thread where the sarcasm was dripping.

yes hunt on performance has to go to the reserves, agreed. but also, your "great clubman" ling has also not performed and therefore also surely should be dropped.

and i meant the whole team has disposal and decision making issues but you just pin it on woja. thats what i was getting at. it seemed such a ludicrous summation to make on one guy. and hardly anyone even backed you up.

In: Tenace
Out: Harley

That’s it. 1 change, its all we need, however King is fit, so a straight swap for Blake.

Why do people want to change the forward line, it worked last week. Cam Mooney is the key at CHF, and Nath was putting it a better effort that KK at FF. These 2 guys always put in a contest and get the ball to ground at least.

How about we keep Joel Corey in the middle, Milburn across half back, Hunt in a back pocket, Rooke to tag Jobe Watson and tell Ling to run forward and kick goals.

Playing blokes out of position is bullsh1t.

What do you guys think of Mathew Stokes?

What do you guys think of Mathew Stokes?

I rate the kid. He has not shown a great deal in his two games. I feel he is attempting to adjust to the pace of AFL, however he wil come good.

I expect no less than 6-10 games from him this year and then 15-20 next year when he cements himself in the side.

Great kid, Great footy brain, great skills = future leader.

What about Harley? How long is he out for?

 

[Strong hands Magee]

It didn't list him. Must still be waiting on scans. The medical staff were quoted in todays articles that Harls would likely miss 'one week' at this stage.

Probably waiting on results of shoulder scan i guess.....

The injury list is updated on Tuesdays - however today's press referred to him as a 'doubtful starter' for this week

If it's only one week then that's awesome. How good did we look with him at CHB on Saturday? I read his comments in today's Addy - the guy's a leader, if he can have a good pre-season next year then the club should seriously consider making him captain.
