Well as long as Vickery is out we're going to have this second ruck dilemma every week.

Derrickx has to go. Second game or not he was completely sub standard.

Gus was shocking as well and is a liability around the ground. Ahead of derrickx though imo.

Other option is to just use someone random as backup ruck e.g. Mcguane or Griffiths. Leaning towards this option.

Post is a spud, would prefer to see him not used.

Well all but done that Adams won't play this weekend given the report the Doctor is giving the tribunal in the Judd case.
the doc said they are aiming for adams to play this week, petrie is a better chance also

They aren't going to come out on Tuesday and announce to the public that he won't be playing.
 
I'm with tugga. I'm not interested in who's in or out for north.
I'm interested in our response to last week and in our intent in regards to pushing for finals.
To me we should be winning even if Petrie,Adams and Zeibell play.

Rate Adams better than a good ordinary player too. He's very good.
 
Sounds like Maric is going to return with Dusty and Jacko but no mention of Griff? Batch out for 3+ games too which hurts us down back. Gee I hope we don't see Miller return and push McGuane down back on Petrie or Tarrant?

Hoping we play a full strength kangas too so we can see where we really are at. A win will give us confidence that we are good enough and perhaps what could have been:(
 
No Griffiths is disappointing. He's been terrific I reckon.
I know he's been recruited as a natural forward but he's found his niche down back for mine.
Very composed.
 
I'd prefer to see Derrickx stay in before Graham that's for sure. O'Hanlon has improved quite a lot in my mind since his first game, persevering is paying off for him. I'd be happy to do the same thing with Derrickx. Not like anyone else is knocking down the door.

Funny isn't it, how Jackson is now a 'definite in' despite how much many of us (myself included) wanted him banished earlier in the year.
I actually don't mind him being played as a defensive forward. It's when he plays on the ball that my blood pressure starts to max out.
 
Bit of a joke that Judd and Ziebell get the same penalty when one deliberatelyntried to dislocate someone's arm, but i have no sympathy for North as they risked the extra week for an offence that was clearly there.

If Derickx does stay I reckon O'Hanlon should make way. I like him and I think he has a big future at the club, but his are essentially development games. He is effectively a passenger at the moment.

I completely disagree. I thought O'Hanlon was great against the Suns. In a half he managed 11 possessions at 91%, 5 marks and 4 tackles. Not a bad result for a teenager who was overlooked in the draft. I'm a firm believer that players should earn the Tiger guernsey through decent form, but I'll take my hat off to O'Hanlon, who is already looking like a handy pick-up.
 
Just quietly, I reckon the Zeibell sentence is a disgrace. Ball was always his object then just braced for contact. Slo mo kills it, but in live speed it's totally understandable.
Give him 1 or two because Joseph got hurt, but 4 is just not right. Wellingham was premeditated attempted murder and was only given 1 extra and gets to serve 1 less. System is wrong.
And Tug, gotta disagree, want him, Petrie, Adams all out...we need a win and I don't care how we get it.

Shhhh. The MOEMAN will hear you!!

he initially had 3 and i think it was poor record that got him the 3, also he tried to challenge it and he risked another week. Wellingham got 3 weeks because he's got a good record
 
All or nothing this week, so...

INS - Martin, I. Maric, Jackson, King, Griffiths
OUTS - Newman (concussion), Webberley, Derickx, Graham, O'Hanlon (omitted)

That means we have 3 first choice players out in Foley, Vickery, and Newman. Everybody else is in, and everybody knows what is at stake.

We need BIG games from the Big 5 (Lids, Cotch, Martin, Riewoldt, I. Maric), solid contributions from the next tier (Tuck, Grigg, Conca, Houli, Edwards, Nahas, King, Jackson, Rance, Morris, Ellis), and the rest of the team to play their role.

It's winnable, but it's gonne be tough. Gotta shut down Wells, Harvey, and Bastinac in the middle, and keep Petrie quiet down back (looking at you there, Rance).

We can do this!
