[dockertor]

According to the radio news Palmer didn't travel with the team

 

[Independent Observer]

Wow.

And you all thought Harvey could coach

 

[Lach72]

Bugger

 

[D_train]

Any word on who did make the squad?

Hopefully it was someone like Ibbo/Mayne that took his spot rather than M.Carr/Macca/MaJohnson getting a run ahead of him.

 

[Walesy]

you're kidding! I dropped $25 on him for the Rising star!!

d'oh!

 

[newlander77]

I think Ibbo is miles ahead of him just personally!

 

[sumavich]

Wow.

And you all thought Harvey could coach

Excuse me ?? I would wait until Saturday night before I would jump to any conclusions. You, on the other hand are a gutless toilet infused individual.
Maybe he's going on a later flight !!
Game isn't on until Sat'day, you throttler.

 

[poshman]

spewing! what about my main man marcus?

[rizzo]

Interesting. Thought he would get a game. Does that mean Ibbo will play?

Hangs around in them !!!

He did go anyway :

Fresh Dockers head for Melbourne


20th March 2008, 13:00 WST

The Dockers fly to Melbourne this afternoon fresh and ready to take on Collingwood at the MCG on Saturday.
After posting an impressive victory over local rivals West Coast in the NAB Cup, Fremantle looked sloppy at times during the pre-season, prompting a lighter week on the track in the lead-up to the round one clash.

VIDEO: Harvey and Worsfold discuss tactics and selections. Click here
Young midfielder Rhys Palmer and ex-Essendon premiership player Mark Johnson look likely to play their first games in Fremantle colours after travelling with the squad of 24.
Palmer impressed coaches during the pre-season, including assistant coach Dean Wallis.
“He’s actually put in a massive pre-season and he’s a quality kid,” Wallis said.
“He’ll add strength to our midfield, he’s got a huge motor and he’s a ball-winning magnet.
“(He) kicks goals, that’s what we want.

 

[anchor man]

Wow.

WOW doesn't take the scum of the sites long to surface does it.
Season hasn't even started and the crabs are out and walking sideways already.
Go find a hole to crawl into you creep.

 

[ting tong]

yeah exactly, and by "Independant Observer" you mean that you are a gutless wonder who prefers to sit on the fence and throw mud instead of picking a team.

Palmer must be travelling with the team if he's be chosen as an emergency.. I think he would play..

Those doofuses at 6PR wouldn't know if theur butts were on fire. He's in Melbourne, but he's playing for EF on the weekend.

 

[Bender571]

Channel 10 said the same as 6PR. Palmer will be playing for east

 

[Reveler]

its a joke if Palmer doesn't play.

He does better than some of our other mids during the preseason yet doesn't get the chance to show his stuff.

 

[Vintage]

Can we just calm down a bit. OK, so Palmer might not play this week. He might not play next week either, but I'm sure we didn't draft him solely to play the first couple of rounds of the 2008 season. He'll be at the club for many many years, there's no need to rush him into the team - have some faith in Harvs, the rest of the coaching staff and selection committee.

FWIW, I was hoping he'd play too - I want to see the youngsters in the team, and he's also in my DT. But, as a tool once wrote on his abdomen, c'est la vie

 

[spitlizard]

Clever move by Harvey I reckon if it's true!!

I think you will see Palmer play an intermittent role for quite a few weeks as he is "broken in" to the real AFL, not just pre-season.

Most of the opposition would have worked out that this kid represents a threat so my guessing is Harv's has worked this out and playing it safe.

Expect him to be played sporatically for the first half of the season, then more regularly as the season progresses.

 

[DCFCFAN84]

Shaun McManus and Matthew Carr but no Rhys Palmer surely this is a joke.

 

[The Night Shift]

Perhaps Ibbotson will get a run. We have pulled the old emergency switcheroo trick before....

Rational thinking there, I'd love to see Palmer but don't believe everything you read or hear.

The truth is that the Gummies have begged to have Palmer so they can at least get a couple of wins this year ......
