IMO Prismall has been shafted being named as an emergency... burn Byrnes and Charlie Greenthumb and bring in Stokes and Prismall.... (obviously Selwood needs a rest)

opinions?

Pris will be in the side , But it is a real kick in the butt being named there.
Love having stokes in the side but if he doesnt make the side I can understand that. but Prismal , unbelievable
 
i think from the ex interchange tenace, king, Djohnson and prismall will play with gardiner being emergency for Nablett, Selwood being rested emergency forr midfielder and stokes having a run in the 2's to get some match form
(if tenace is in he needs a long run regrdless of form to truly see where he is at and if he needs to be moved on or needs to play a permanent role)

On Thursday, Sunday seems a long way off - we have so many Sunday games and it leaves us speculating. I'd hope that Prismall would play - I'd be furious if Charlie Chaplin got a game and Prismall didn't - but then I've been furious many times when this dope stuffs up and a promising kid like 32 has been sidelined. He earned widespread respect after his performance in the last two games. Surely Bomber wouldn't ......
 
Certainly hope he plays, the 7 man bench for these Sunday games must be like being in purgatory. Prismall was even talked about on K-Rock as a possible NAB rising star, as i think he has played no more than 10-11 games...to leave him out sends the wrong messages to the young blokes in the team.

C'mon Bomber, play him, we'll need someone with his skills and nous to handle Hawthorn's each-way footy style, where they seem to mill around the contest putting pressure on the ball carrier, yet Western Bulldogs style, they have a heap of soft out-riders who dance away with the ball once it's flipped out of a pack. Was infuriating seeing that work last year twice against us.
 
FWIW I thought he was fantastic last week. I had him in the votes for the BF medal and stiff not to be rising star. Looks a very promising player, never heard of him before last week though, where's he from?
 
He's just part of the extended interchange. He'll play for sure, don't worry. Should be named on the HFF instead of Byrnes though, to show which player is more valuable to the team.

I must be seeing a different team but I don't see him on the emergency list - just part of the expanded bench. It would be bloody outrageous if he were dropped or named an emergency, especially if Charlie is his replacement!

Sorry getting ahead of myself... but the main point is Byrnes doesn't deserve to be put in the 18 ahead of Prismall...

Right, so lets not worry about positions or anything :rolleyes:. Prismall was great around the stoppages and playing through the middle last week, very different to what he'd be doing at HFF. I agree he needs to play though.

I meant more to show Byrnes that his place in the side is under threat, rather than any intention of actually playing Prismall there. Besides, HFFs are midfielders these days anyway.
 
Not shafted at all, 7 man interchange bench, of course he will play. Starting on the bench these days is no big deal at all, given he will be on in minutes.

In that case replace Byrnes with Stokes and leave Varcoe in the side, that'll give him more of a wake up call. Part of the pre-season hype was talking about Stokes and Byrnes being very competitive with eachother as they knew they were vying for the same position. Problem is, we don't know what Stokes' form has been like these past few weeks.
 
Very handy indeed. I'd like to see the rest of the picks before and around him in that draft. I guess you can see why he slipped so low (not overly fast, obviously not KPP) but his kicking would have been an attractive feature, and you'd reckon he would have dominated junior leagues with his poise and decision making.
