[Jeremias]

Good inclusions, disappointing to see Hampson dropped but he hasn't been playing well.

I reckon we might see.....

IN: O'hAilpin, Browne
OUT: Hampson, Russell

For a final bench of O'hAilpin, Houlihan, Pfeiffer, Browne

Emergencies Bentick Hampson Russell

 

[marcmurphy3]

Hopefully bench ends up like:

Browne, Pfieffer, Bower, Hoops

Bentick - been playing well at VFL but we have better players that can do his role

O'hAilpin - Don't believe we need him. Needs to get form at VFL. Jamo is a better FB.

Russell - Do I need to say?

 

[marcmurphy3]

Good inclusions, disappointing to see Hampson dropped but he hasn't been playing well.

Although he only got 30% TOG last week.

I would have liked to see him given more ruck time this week and Cloke played at CHF.

 

[Cruiser23]

Good god Ratten, if Hampson isn't injured then that is a woeful omission IMO. It gives us much more variety with him, Kreuzer and Cloke all playing.

 

[Mr.Kennedy]

I was hoping for Hartlett to come in

 

[Blue Dawn]

All i can say is that Russell better bloody well not be playing!!

Didn't think Grigg had done much to earn a recall after his soft start to the year. Carrazzo AND Scotland still in! Maybe Scotto because it's the Pies but i'm not convinced.

Looks to be another conservative week by our Match Committee.

 

[Crippa#9]

Browne, Pfieffer, Bower, Hoops

O'hAilpin - Don't believe we need him. Needs to get form at VFL. Jamo is a better FB.

Russell - Do I need to say?

So who gets dropped an who comes in?

Hampson out (confirmed)
Russell out?

Browne & Grigg should come to provide run.

 

[HBF]

Can somebody explain to me why Kade Simpson has been named in the BP. He's been our best mid over the past couple of years, and we reward him by putting him in the BP - WTF!?

 

[HBF]

I was hoping for Hartlett to come in

After such an undisciplined act vs Richmond, suspect the club will get him to do the hard yards with the Ants for a few weeks.

 

[Scruff83]

IN: O'hAilpin, Browne
OUT: Hampson, Russell

Emergencies Bentick Hampson Russell

Think Grigg will be amongst the in's, he's named on the wing.

 

[Juddy88]

What are the chances that Pfeiffer will be dropped?
Or will he most likely stay in the side?

 

[bradrowe#32]

I hope Brown plays on Kreuzer. That would be a great match up.

 

[Jeremias]

Think Grigg will be amongst the in's, he's named on the wing.

Whoops, he is too

In that case, Pfeiffer might be dropped.

In: Grigg, Browne, O'hAilpin
Out: Russell, Hampson, Pfeiffer

Pfeiffer very unlucky.

 

[Mr.Kennedy]

Fair call.We do however lack a tall target

 

[CarltonFan]

dont need o'hailpin. will be way too tall.

out: russell, hampson, scotland
in: bentick, browne, grigg

 

[Salaryman]

Can somebody explain to me why Kade Simpson has been named in the BP. He's been our best mid over the past couple of years, and we reward him by putting him in the BP - WTF!?

We have greater midfield depth now, more grunt with Hadley and Judd and a bulked up Gibbsy.....Kade is a 70m run, bounce and break the lines type, so I think he is best suited to setting up play across HB or on the wing. However, possibly with our dearth of small defenders and Collingwood's collection of small dangerous forwards might consign him to playing a role this week, if so whether he lines up in a BP or across HB is immaterial.

 

[Doza]

What a joke. We get a guy like Hampson who has only played 3 games of footy, but we all believe he could be something really good in a few years, then in only his 4th game you give hime 36% game time then drop him. I thought the Cloke, Hampson, Kreuzer combo would work well. And would help limit the pressure on Kreuzer? More importantly Hampson needs game time - lots lots more game time. Can't play Kreuzer for long stints at CHF if he is the back up ruckman.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Can't play Kreuzer for long stints at CHF if he is the back up ruckman.

And when they throw him in the centre bounces,
pretty sure Anthony Rocca will be up against him for a few.
Has a habit of going in pretty hard.

 

[drusswaylander]

Although he only got 30% TOG last week.

I would have liked to see him given more ruck time this week and Cloke played at CHF.

Cloke is too slow for CHF and he has been doing well in the ruck, so he holds his place.


It will do Hammer good to get a run in the twos. He still looks a bit proppy and his forward work when played there still needs a lot of work. (although it hasn't stopped us playing our senior players in the one's to get match fitness)

With so many underdone players and our failure to be able to run out games, we just can't afford to have someone sitting on the bench for that amount of time.Trying to play JK and Harts in the same team to give them match experience cost us last season, so perhaps they are trying not to make the same mistake with MK and Hammer

We have looked too tall to me, which has exacerbated our lack of run problems. It will be interesting to see if Carlos actually plays of if we go for the extra runner.

your contradicting yourself. hampson is our future ruck and needs gametime, but how will he get it behind cloke and kruzer?
by sending him to the ants' he can play the full match and get that game time. its not about punishing the kid, its about developing the kid, and playing 40% of a game is shit development.

This may be so (although i personally doubt it) however it'd be pretty silly of us to telegraph i don't you think. Still quite possible that there could be a 'surprise' late change.

 

[HBF]

Or will he most likely stay in the side?

Would like to see him stay in the team. Gives us some toughness around the ball.

That's all well and good Gilly, but from what I have seen, his defensive pressure is almost non-existent. Would much prefer to see him line up on the wing, where he has been damaging for the past 2 years.

 

[cAsEy_18]

I know many of you have stated you don't want to see him in the side, but what do you think the chances of big Setanta playing are?
