Changes vs the Tigers

[2 Dogs]

The ridiculous amount of changes last week has thrown me with who is and isn't available. I'll try anyway

IN: Sylvia, Grimes, Frawley
Out: Valenti (Probably stiff, but has to make way)
Jurrah* (if Injured)
Whelan (love him, but showed small signs that his best is definately past him.)

 

[The Dr]

Yeah, not an easy week for predictions, but i would go with:

IN: Sylvia, Frawley
OUT: Jurrah (just to be safe), Whelan

Think we have to be cautious with all the injuries, so Grimes and McLean can have an extra week even if they're 99% right.

 

[Brock McLean for PM]

I'd love to see Hughes get a gig as he's been putting in for Casey.

Don't reckon that'll happen so I reckon it'll be:

IN: Sylvia, Bail

OUT: Jurrah, Cheney (both injured)

 

[Bartram_Class]

Perhaps the return of Bucks?

 

[Dez!]

In: Sylvia, Grimes, Frawley

Out: Whelan, Cheney, Jurrah (Only if injured) otherwise Valenti unfortunately.

Has Cale Morton's role changed in recent weeks with all your injuries? Doesn't seem to be getting a huge amount of the pill like he was, but that may be because he is being forced to play differently?

Morton played forward against Geelong 2 weeks ago, he kicked 3 goals but didnt have heaps of the ball. Last week he tagged Goodes and did a very good job. Goodes played forward almost all day.

Its good to see him play different roles and not just the unaccountable wing position he has played his whole career so far.

Thanks for that.
WIll be a very good player (already is).

Funnily enough, his last two weeks have probably been his best games of the year, yet statistics-wise, probably his worst.

Suck it up DT'ers.

Pretty difficult to say about possible changes right now... it's all a bit up in the air at the moment, by the look of things...

Wtf is this about? His form last week was pretty good. If you are talking about the incident where he supposedly shirked it I am not so sure he did. He tried to get the ball and do a side step to avoid the oncoming player. If you have ever played the game you will realise that there is no point in just picking it up and running straight into the oncoming tackler. Unfortunately for Jamie he got a bad bounce which would have looked bad to those who have not played the game before.

Ahh so I wasn't the only one who noticed that, good to know.

1. Get the red ink out, those tests have all got FAIL written all over them.

2. Don't see why any of the VFL people wouldn't play. We've clearly entered the 'experimental' phase. If Spencer gets through this week in the VFL I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a run against North. Same with Buckley.

Also as much as I think he should announce he's retiring at the end of the year Robbo deserves to play the season out in a shit side.

3. (unrelated) Valenti must play the rest of the year. I like the guy but I reckon he'll get the boot - should get as much opportunity as possible until the end of the season.

That is the incident I'm talking about and whilst my initial views were the same as yours after watching it a couple of times I'm not so sure it was all due to a bad bounce. I currently do play football and I think you are wrong - the most important thing is to put your body on the line and get the ball before you worry about what you are going to do with it. Whilst I don't want to crucify Bennell as he is one of my favourites I thought a week in the 2's might be an appropriate way to send the message.

 

[The Professor]

I thought a week in the 2's might be an appropriate way to send the message.

Don't think he should be dropped for that. It did look bad and the FD should let him know that.

If it happen regularly, fair enough but i'll let this one slide.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Ahh so I wasn't the only one who noticed that, good to know.

Bailey was asked about it at a press conference at Tuesday. Didn't seem remotely worried about it.

I tend to agree, I certainly don't need to see JB dive into an onrushing Mooney to know he's courageous/tough/whatever the buzz word is at the moment, in fact, with his build, I'm quite happy to see him get out of the way for what was a 50/50 ball either way.

It was always Ryan Ferguson's problem, the fine line between courage and stupidity. It's all well and good to want to play tough football, but get the body that allows you to do it first.

That bastard's problem was that he was a ****ing dumbass who cost us Brad Sewell.

I'd kick in square in the testicles if I ever saw him around, ****ing w***er.

 

[timmeh]

Didn't realise McKenzie was injured.

In: Frawley, Spencer, Grimes, Jetta, Sylvia
Out: McKenzie (Calf), Jurrah (Ankle)

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Yeah, I just noticed this - Jordie's out too, a calf problem apparently.

Hope he's just being rested and this is nothing serious - be a pretty damn cruel kind of irony if he got injured on debut and sidelined for a few weeks as a result....
