Toast Fletcher Roberts

[Igloo]

Yay Fletch! He wont leave us. Ever reliable Fletch. A man of the people.

 

[murphy2bedabest]

Our best depth player this year? Or does that go to Jong? Tough call.

Sid got the premiership and Jong didn't, so gotta say fletch just

 

[maddog37]

Fletch lives!!

This just in Roberts requests a trade to get away from disingenuous supporter group.

Well it worked for Jason Tutt.

Well it worked for Jason Tutt.

That was mostly just King Harold.

 

[Some Idiot]

Suspect Fletch will be sticking around for a while given recent events, so people better get used to it.

 

[JJHunter]

Waiting for someone who is handy in photoshop to edit that famous picture of Steve Bradbury with images of fletch and in the background Adams and hambling all in the race for our key defender spot.

Would have been third choice this time last week.

 

[King Harold]

That was mostly just King Harold.

Ha gotta hand it to KH , he can spot an ordinary footballer from a million miles away.
And Tutt is very , very ordinary.

Who is this mysterious Hambling that Bruce kept referring to all through the game against Hawthorn? You seem to know him too

By the way , if he left because of me the club needs to make me a life member !

Late inclusion today makes this Fletcher's 50th game for the Dogs.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Did his role today. Should get a 5 week run at it in my view.

 

[Braybrook Son]

Well done Fletch. Was great today

 

[dergert]

Been calling for him all year. Hope he stays in the squad.

Highly doubt that. That's a pretty unbalanced backline when English is back in.

I don't think Fletch, Cordy, Trengove, Wood works.

I actually prefer Fletch if picking a defender - say when Boyd is back, but while we need a Trengove to pitch in the ruck I'd play him.

 

[Testekill]

The dude is always going to be a foot soldier but he's cheap depth, is probably well liked at the club and knows our tactics and his role.

Do you though? Bev gives people a run out of principle. The real question is whether (i) hes given up on Fletch, and (ii) it was just a last minute decision. If yes to either I think you are right, if not he will get a string of games as that is how Bev operates.

 

[Triple Baileys]

The bloke did fine. Change Trengove and English in FP or sometimes off the bench.

I don't think he works like that necessarily. I think that's a perception, because we don't see what roles players have behind closed doors.

I think balance is important to Bev. I don't think it's a case of giving up on Fletch. I guess we will see.

 

[BEaston]

OK depth but goes back once English is fit again. No brainer to me.

 

[Triple Baileys]

I toast Fletch with a double Baileys.

I've got a feeling English will be left out of next weeks game, with Lewis Young coming in for Gowers/Lloyd as a second ruck/KPP with Trengrove predominantly in the ruck. But that could be just a product of my defensive mindset?

Lloyd probably played his best game for the club today. Would be stiff together dropped.
I thought Gowers movement and body strength helped Naughton out today (although was watching on TV, so hard to get a real read), no one else can really play that role. They can play a role and probably offer something different but not that specific role.

I cant see either being omitted.

Missed out on a banner for his fifty, or did he.

Congratulations Fletch,
On an achievement really nifty,
Took a while my friend,
Like a Geoff Boycott fifty.
