We barely have enough players to field a side FFS, of course hell stay in. Think of the bigger bodies we have in the middle now without McVeigh

We need Welsh do add a bit more grunt into the side. Don't know when he's back but it better be soon. Lloyd should be in this week so that will have our forward line looking a bit better. Although I must say it went very well without him.
Do we have anymore quicks who can come into the midfield? Our injuries are causing us headaches, so we might need to go with the good old fashioned Pevs and JJ in the middle, along with Stants and Winders. Give Houli and Lovett runs in there as well.

agree with that and its not just because damien is playing. with all the players we have out can't see us winning unless st kilda cop a bucketful of injuries 2moro as well. so if we're going to lose we might as well get some benefit by giving myers etc some experience.
will see how myers goes for bendigo on sunday but i think he's going to be a star and like rhys palmer we should be playing him now. at freo they were rightfully criticised for playing old hacks like mcmanus ahead pf palmer r1. that criticism was justified and see similarities with peverill and jj.
Not sure of the In's and Out's just yet but Slattery was absolute shyte I thought. He's far too reckless at the ball and basically lacks the skill of an AFL footballer, however not sure who else to bring in at this time. Will reassess once all injuries/availabilities are confirmed.
Not a bad effort by the boys tonight though I thought, could have done a lot worse.

Damien was alright tonight. Wasnt our worst player. Set up a great goal in the 3rd quarter.
Losing Winderlich really hurt you and McVeigh. Congratulations to Winderlich for being the first opposition player this year to not be easily brushed aside by Ryan Griffen but rather hold onto the tackle.
impossible to do a thread like this until we know the full extent of the injuries.
With a bit of luck, it's only McVeigh and Lonergan out.
With a bit more luck, Lloyd and Welsh will come up this week at least, with Monfries ok after his "virus".

Slats was good. he made position and used his strength.
Was a poor decision not to play one of Johns or Neagle. We were crying out for a target inside 50 all night. One of them must come in next week.
I would think one of the rookies will be promoted this week. Atkinson looks most physically ready for league footy so I would think he would get the chocolates.

You are kidding mate Look Im no Slattery fan club member but he did a great job on Johnson and for a bloke who is to reckless as you say he had the highest effeciency in our side last night ya goose
Yeah I'm hoping that Atkinson gets brought in, given the length of our injury list, we certainly do need some more options. Probably could even slot in the same role that Dempsey was playing next week, although hopefully Dempsey won't be out too long. As for forward options, hopefully Lloyd will be back and Neagle might be a chance with any luck (we sure need some). I think we all realise that Johns is no longer seen as a forward by the staff based on last nights exclusion and is being given this chance to develop his skills as a defender.
Knighter said in press conference Johns isnt fit didnt play last week corkie and they are hoping to play him Sunday if he gets up and maybe next week pending injury/performance

Slattery has to go, seriously he just isn't good enough and has nothing going for him that makes him an AFL footballer except for his agression and worth ethic.
What the hell? He was good.
We'll play him on Dal Santo next week and he'll do the job.
With our injuries we have no choice but to play Slatts, JJ and Pev.
He cost us a goal where he didn't attack the ball and let Johnson run in and take the mark and kick an easy goal.
Will never make a top line footballer and hopefully will be gone at years end.
If Welsh and Lloyd get fit:
IN Welsh, Lloyd, Monfries
OUT: McVeigh, Lonergan,Slattery
If they don't
IN: Monfries, JJ/Johns/Neagle
Out: McVeigh, Lonergan
IN Welsh, Lloyd, Monfries
OUT: McVeigh, Lonergan,Slattery
If they don't
IN: Monfries, JJ/Johns/Neagle
Out: McVeigh, Lonergan
Just an idea, nobody might agree with this, but has anybody considered maybe trying to turn JJ into a tagger? Getting later in his career, his main problem has always been his kicking skills, although to be honest i've seen an improvement in that this year. However, if it is just his usage of the ball that is holding him out of the side, he might be better in it as a tagger instead of SLattery/Peverill. He is quicker and stronger than the 2 of them, just an idea that could be looked into.

Bring Neagle in if he's fit and let him loose.
not having a go at you mate but why would we drop pears? he had 4 goal assists and looked quite comfortable out there playing senior footy. he will only be better for the experience. i guarantee knights will not drop pears. unless he is injured
looking forward to finding out how myers does for bendigo.All of Lloyd, Welsh and Monfries, fitness permitting, will play next week I'd assume.
Jason Johnson would have to be a chance, and Davdi Myers could well be in the picture. Atkinson another.
Obviously Lonergan and McVeigh will go out and we'll have to wait on Hille, Winderlich and Michael, but I expect them to get up.
Slattery, Peverill and Pears wouldn't be sure things to hold their spots.

Because Welsh > Pears atm.
Also Welsh is more needed in our team with key forwards
