[Optimax]

good effort, like the team.

Maccaffer to play if didak pulls out




N.B BF team out tomorrow as well

 

[wixism]

Not happy Leigh Brown should of been out for Wood
Happy to see Macaffer named on Emergency

 

[Primetime Pricey]

yeah i have a feeling Dids wont play.

If its wet do they make changes, all the emergencies are smaller types who would suit more to that style. I think changes will be made game day

 

[Quicky]

Would have liked to see the back of Leigh Brown in this game. The guys useless enough in the dry.

The emergencies are a bit perplexing given Wellinghams and Corries form in the twos. You'd have thought Sidebottom would have been listed as he's had similar stats but with better efficiency - plus a more team oriented performances.

Just a tad too much Leighbrownage in this team.

Just a quick question Fellas. SEN implied Medhurst and Rocca were in some doubt for this weekend also. Have you guys heard that or is it just SEN scuttlebut again? I see they were named, but that often doesn't mean much.

Thanks guys, and good game Saturday.

Both have queries, not just a SEN rumour.

Medhurst got concussion and Rocca got a knock in the game. Both named but we will see what happens.

I bloody hope Medhurst and Rocca come up now, those emergencies are terrible. Shows why we made no changes when the next best 3 players are a Bisbane reject, a VFL forward who doesnt kick goals and a player who has the talent but lacks consistency.

Crossing my fingers for Medhurst and Rocca now.

When played forward, he does kick goals.

Its been reported elsewhere as well. MM said that both were not 100% chances to line up. Medhurst had concussion and Rocca copped a bad knock in the ribs from Merrett. Didak is also not 100% chance to line up due to hammy soreness - They'll all more likely play than not though.

 

[didaka]

They'll play boys.

If anyone doesn't come up it'll be Didak.

 

[Heater39]

Personally would have preferred Wood to come in for Brown of the Leroy variety but meh, no changes to a winning team is usually a good ploy.

 

[leondavis21]

medhurst wont play, concussed, def wont risk bringing him back early

rocca wont play cause its too wet anyway!! would be useless in the mud haha

presti prob the same. dont think its gunna be a day for marking forwards.

play a young running small side this week, wouldnt be suprised if we made 3 or 4 changes!!!

 

[Invigoration]

When played forward, he does kick goals.

The Caff can kick goals from the grandstand he is that good.

Yeah I don't reckon anyone will play for us actually.

Could be Thoolen's big chance for a call up.

 

[Brent24]

He's way too big!

We may just field Blair.

Thanks Quicky. And Daniel too.

Yep, I agree, I think we will go in with a team of no one, much better than going in with players - coz its gonna be wet ya know

 

[Pie Legend]

Did we train today?

 

[BIGHARRYO]

Did we train today?

Last training session is tomorrow...

 

[Dylz48]

in response to the thread title ....yet

 

[buzzbuzz]

How many changes are we actually allowed to make now that we've posted the team sheet? Can we only bring in emergencies? Because I'd hate to bring in Corrie or Wellers based on form. On form, Sidey & Stanners would be ahead of them easily. If we have to drop any of Medders, Rocca or Dids for inj reasons... could be in a bit of trouble.

 

[RRRooocccaaa]

FFS, it's Anzac Day. Our (second?) biggest day this year. No-one's going to want to pull out from 'soreness'. They'll play lame and then pull out against North Melbourne next week

 

[DoubleO7]

N.B BF team out tomorrow as well

Why tomorrow, coach?

Re: AFL team

I'm happy with that side. We should realistically beat Essendon comfortably.

If Didak is a late omission then Brent Macaffer should get the nod.
