Geelong Vs Freo Teams

[HulkHawkins]

It's great to see "H" back in the team, in my opinion he should have have played last week. If he's still playing well the next time we play Sydney it'll be interesting to see if he gets selected.

Prismall a bit stiff, he didn't have a great game last week but still probably should have got another crack at it this week..... at least Byrnes didn't get a mention again so that can only be a good thing

Can't wait to see how Mumford goes too, much improved and great to see him get rewarded for all the hard work he's done.

Re: RD 6 Team.

Good to see the big H back in. Personally I thought West was unlucky I like the fact he's a lot more mobile than Blake -the rest will come with time. IMO.

 

[toenail11]

He played in the pre-season games.
With Warnock emergency,who is the Frockers 2nd ruck option ?

daniel gilmore

 

[maculosus]

anyone know how Mumford got elevated? would have to be for Egan wouldn't it?

Dunno!

That's got me intrigued as well. Could it have been for N Ablett.
As long as it's not for Ottens.

Its definitely not for Ottens and Nathan is not injured. Egan was put on the long term injury list at the start of the season but we opted not to upgrade a rookie as there was no need. Now the club have obviously decided Mumford is the logical choice due to Ottens' Injury.

So what pos does Mummy play if not in ruck???

 

[Kent_Kingsley]

who the heck is Mumford?...and why has Prismall been dumped after one game?

**** me they make some strange decisions.

 

[Ricketts]

Prismall came in for the Swans game becasue the match was always going to have a lot of stoppages, and he is an inside midfielder.

Freo at Subi is the opposite, so an outside player is better, i.e. Gamble.

Simple really.

 

[rizzo]

Shane Mumford is a ripper selection by the cats. West is in need of a rest and Mummy should fill this role pretty well.

Looked fantastic in the NAB cup. Congratulations to the kid. Wasn't that long ago he was sent back to the bush to loose weight.

 

[re cat]

Otto's ready to come back so they want to see if Mumford can play.

 

[jess_555]

Is Mumford really playing in the ruck!?!?! Wow I can't believe it., that is awesome for the guy.

I'm a fair bit shattered that Prissa has been dropped but I get that he probably doesn't match up all that well. If the Corey's, Bartel maybe even Gazza etc get injured (please no) but if they did I'd imagine Pris would be straight in.

Good to see Harry and Gamble back.

BTW there is no VFL match this week so the boys will be having a rest.

 

[maculosus]

Great team this week.

Amazing that so many new players can find their way into such a strong team. Must be great for the confidence of Harry T and Gamble and a big boost for Mumford. If one of the midfielders doesn't get injured soon then probably one will have a rest (general soreness) and Prismall will get another game.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Otto play again soon too.

What's the chance of a late change: Ling out - Prismall in.

daniel gilmore

Ah that's right,I think he was 2nd ruck against Geelong at Subiaco last year.Cheers

Re: RD 6 Team.

Big Mumma's in!!!

Holy Crap Batman!!!

Seriously, this I think is a fantastic effort; not even 10 VFL games, only got picked up after playing with Bunyip, now his debut vs. Dockers....

brilliant!!!!

Re: RD 6 Team.

Why are the teams out on wednesday this week??

[cats2rise]

DW, I forgot we are playing tomorrow. Dammit, I am going out and will miss the game.

Re: RD 6 Team.

i thought mumford was far away from playing seniors.

is west injured or concerned about sandilands height?

 

[stevie20]

Wedon't play tomorrow we play Anzac Day!!! but at night

 

[FreakShow20]

Re: RD 6 Team.

Thought they would play Gamble in the VFL for one week to teach him a lesson for his indiscreation against the Saints....

 

[stevie20]

Re: RD 6 Team.

The VFL don't play this weekend though!!

Re: RD 6 Team.

as opposed to the 1 week suspension that would also serve as a lesson for his indiscretion?

Re: RD 6 Team.

Poor old Prissa... Gotta feel for the bloke a bit. I didnt think he was too bad against the swans

 

[Copernicus]

Well, those are interesting selections. Will be interesting to see how big Mumford goes - I only saw him in the NAB Cup and even then, not much, so this will be a big test for him coming against Sandilands.

Gamble in is no surprise, though I did wonder if they might punish him a bit more for his transgression. Probably the week off did that job, though. Feel bad for Prissa, but unfortunately there is not a whole lot of room in that midfield and he had to play well to keep his spot. I think he will get more chances throughout the year. Not yet time to write him off as a part of our best team.

Good to see Harry back in, but that's no surprise.
