He's got a groin but will play the rest of the season with it.

 

[theflea]

Whats the point playing gus or browne or even derickx(all likely delisted end of season)

Both Post and Griff should b given the ruck duties to gain real match experience in ruckwork .

Dont waste valuable development time on duds.

if we delisted all 3 then we truly are stupid with our list management. we will keep 1(browne) at least.

Out: Ivan (another weeks rest)
In: Graham

I guess the club has to weigh up the risk/reward.

Dont see the point in hanging on to ruckman that r this bad.
We need a new project young ruck and a new mature backup ruck or we will continue to stagnate in this area.
Carnt see it being very hard to do this in the upcoming draft.
Even patto would b an upgrade.

Not ....... likely with the 8 still a chance.

the thing is you need more than 1 ruck. ivan,browne and gus are these players. vickery at this stage is a second ruck. so we need to have at least 1 more second ruck which for me is browne(younger and at least isnt pushed around by mids). then you look at mature types/trades and then look at the draft.

so ivan,browne,mature type,draft choice,rookie. thats 5 on our list.

Ok

Lol..yep Browne is a second ruck now. Didnt you know?

Very good point, just don't think he looked right on Sunday.

 

[tunksy]

Very good point, just don't think he looked right on Sunday.

he really didnt move anywhere near as well. he has played alot of footy this year. well up on whatever amount of time he's played in the past. as I said before. if he needs the rest I'd give derickx the 1st ruck role, post as the back up.

 

[TJTIGER]

In griff if fit out Maric.

To those bagging post you seriously have a problem with him, he had Tarant dragged off him and subbed.

good call peejay! I thought it was one of his best games and for the first time he took it up to one or two nth boys who wanted to throw their weight around. From what I saw at the game did enough to stay in the squad.

 

[DrEvil]

You've got to beat carlton if you are fairdinkum. No Judd and struggling to beat the doggies.

 

[TJTIGER]

I would also like to add that both Nahas and king benefit when they are both playing they just seem to look more dangerous together and I think the forward line overall just looks that bit more dangerous.

 

[Madtiger2006]

I reckon bring in king, batchor and griffiths and drop mcguane, moore and maric. I'm excited about the possible lineup. Play griff forward and post defence.

FB Houli rance Morris
HB batchelor post Ellis
C conca cotchin edwards
HF Newman griffiths ohanlon
FF nahas Reiwoldt king
FOLL maric Martin deledio
INT tuck grigg Jackson dea

 

[WATIGE]

No not his normal level of work but still well ahead of Gus's output.

I didn't see Batchelor doing much before the injury. And since its Moore who's replaced him, I can't see Batch getting back in this week. King in for Maric sounds good.

 

[theflea]

Lol..yep Browne is a second ruck now. Didnt you know?

i didnt word that correctly. i meant a no1 ruck. so ivan and browne are no1's. vick is a no2 and so on like i said.

 

[theflea]

this output was all too meagre v gc.

 

[Punt_Road_Roar]

I have got a feeling that this time we are going to belt the living snot out of the Blues, its been a long time coming and I think we are in the best position to knock them on their arse while they are against the ropes.

I had a similiar feeling before the Swans match earlier this season and I am actually confident for a change..... think I'm delerious on all this Cold and Flu medication? hahaha

Agree. Still not convinced about Posty but I don't think he can be dropped after the has just played his best senior game for the club.

I'm with you PRR. Probably the first and only match this year that for some reason I have no concern or doubt at all.
Not sure what is but I definately feel that we are going to belt them.

Fml it's Carrazzo's 150th.

Why do we always cop milestone games.
