Clearly means that Josh Mahoney lives to fight another day. Ultimately any changes will be forced by injury. Cochrane won't get axed - White and Pettigrew might. Predictable - would have liked to have seen Eckerman and Salopek's names in starting 18 to be sure that we would go in with a different side.

 

[PAFC2004]

Mahoney should "live to fight another day"
He is not the worst of our problems.

 

[Portia]

Not much of a statement being made at the selection table, hey.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

they just said on FOX footy that Eckermann WILL make his debut

Someone tell me that's a typo......

Sure he's the captain, but how can you lead by example as no1 ruck when you can't out jump Quentin.......... (No offence to Quentin)

My outs:
Cochrane, Cochrane and Cochrane.

Seriously, Cochrane, Mahoney and Kinglsey out

What show on Fox Footy? And where did they get that from?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Wow Choco must have been really close to thinking about maybe dropping some players picked on reputation.

 

[Tredders66]

I can't believe they haven't droped anyone after the s*** i saw last week. Sometimes i wonder about choco?

Agreed that Josh is not the worst of our problems, but he was rushed back in two weeks ago from injury and although not given much opportunity in the last two weeks, he hasn't be conspicuous in the time he has had on the park. We seem to be carrying alot of players like that at the moment. I will be keen to see if he still has the hunger in him to reproduce last year's form.

On the squad provided, I would be most hopeful now of Kingsley and Cochrane making way for Salopek and Eckerman. Pettigrew and Chaplin? Well Troy has had less opportunity so far and in the minutes he has played, he has been good enough to get another chance. He doesn't offer as much flexibility as Pettigrew, but may do a better job at one-on-one contests. So far we seem to be using the Grew on tricky in-form opponents like Nathan Brown and Scott Welsh.

 

[PJ Power]

Just seen the Kangas' line-up - very handy inclusions: Petrie and Colbert.
They have a crook old forward line and some very good names in defence as well, not to mention lots of midfielders to choose from.
It looks very, very tough.

 

[Borscht Mat]

is there a rule against dropping players listed in the starting 18 ?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Saw a snippet of Eckermann being interviewed on an Adelaide Sports Tonight update and he was talking like someone who knew he was making his AFL debut.

 

[Sandola]

Eckermann debuting is good, good, good. But how would you like to go in knowing you're expected to be the one who's going to lift an entire AFL team out of the doldrums?

Does he have a nickname? "Ecko" doesn't quite trip off the tongue.

 

[Santos L Helper]

Absolutely ********ing dusgraceful.

Cochrane should NEVER pull on a Powewr gurnsey again, and Francou, Mahney, Ebert and Cassis should count themselves VERY lucky. As Porthos hinted.....we've really wielded the axe after such a bull******** performance.

 

[Russian]

Roosters have named Damon

 

[doiler]

Roosters have named Damon

I also heard the channel 10 news report say that White was likely to get dropped, which I was surprised by, not that I'll complain if Damon does play for North though.

There isn't much pressure on him as he doesn't have to do much to be on par with his team mates.

 

[PAFC2004]

White out? Why?

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

kangaroos have lots of tall forwards - we may need chaplin as a tall defender ?

That would make sense, so it probably won't happen.

I agree. Choco has shown no spine

 

[PowerKop]

gutless, pathetic selection. If we lose this week, and Eckerman, Salopek, White, Grew, Chaplain, Ebert and Thomo aren't playing the following week I will be seriously ********ed off. Lose this week, and our goal for the rest of the year has to be to blood some youngsters, and to find out about a few players

 

[Macca19]

Go Ecks!

Nickname?? Ecks, Ecka, Ivan,
