Had a few nice tap ons too

Still not better than Rowy

I'm not sure whether that was fitness or circumstance.
I think more likely the latter.

We obviously don't play the medi-sub in the reserves and we normally pull a player out after 3 qtrs in the reserves as emergency cover in case someone goes down in the seniors warm up (requiring the designated medi-sub to play and another to take that role on the bench). I think it is likely Rowbottom was that '24th' man last week.

Rowbottom had no strapping on his knee last week and covered the ground and played well in the first 3 qtrs.

Bell has been OK, but IMO Rowbottom can do everything Bell can do, just better.

Assuming he's fit I'd have liked to see Rowbottom in for Bell this week.

They might just be taking the precautionary road.

One being in and out mid.

And the other being a light forward/ pressure player/ outlet runner..

Compare the market I guess.

Outlet runner for what store

I think when you are coming off a superb win against the Dogs (probably the 2nd best team at the moment) away from home in the hub life don't blame the selectors for keeping the same side. Reward them.

Now I guess if we go on a big winning streak and we have 2 games left... the selectors will have a good problem to have. Do they want Reid and Warner to be fit come finals and give them gametime...? Who knows.

I think with the team in good form just about everyone (a few exceptions) need to pick up some match fitness in the ressies if at all possible.
A fit Reid is still a better bet than Amartey at this point in their careers.
Rowbottom's knee seems to be still a bit troublesome. I also wouldn't bet he could do Bell's role better. They might need to reconfigure.
Warner will need a game or 2 or even 3 to get match fit.
With Hewett back in the mids the only spot possibly open is Bell's IMO.
Who do you drop?

A good problem to have approaching the finals!

 

[Dwhale44]

classic case of being on a roll, I am sceptical as of beating the GWS but why change anything after the last fortnight, I am keen as * for some Sunday evening primetime footy

 

[Ticky009]

Even when Toby has a shite game they still somehow manage to beat us. That last quarter this year was a frackin' train wreck I never want to revisit.

 

[the hypnotoad]

Rioli used to have great 8 touches... and Bruce would cover himself in dairy.

ha ... bruce should've had his own kleenex sponsorship deal ... "now here's bruce mcavaney with this week's kleenex 'special' moment"

Toby will be tagged out so hard he will be suspended.

We were up by 3 goals then Hickey and Hewett went down.

Sunday night is a long time to wait for just one game of footy.

There's other games in the round in the meantime.

Hope we tag Hopper, and JPK doesn't get a bath from Tom Green

Sunday 6.10pm - seriously?

Why not broadcast the game live on SBS at 2.30 am Monday? May as well...

Not really the same. What time do you go to bed?

 

[GoodesStuff]

Hard to really complain about the time slot when before this round we were the only team in the competition this season who hadn’t played the last game on a Sunday.

One of the best time slots ever.
4.45 Saturday is my favourite.
Drunk level....sustainable.
Food. Forthcoming

Early Monday Morning football. A niche market. Surprised Norf haven’t targeted that time slot.

Norf have a core fan group in Reykjavik.
Perfect

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Had hoped McDonald would be brought back in. Can't complain with an unchanged lineup after the last 2 weeks though

I’m liking that they’re building Logan up. Getting his strength up and letting him (hopefully) dominate a few EFL games.

We’re not Norf or Carlton or insert minnow Melbourne team who’s desperate to play the new young KPF just to please the masses and give them hope. We’re playing the long game.

Logan will be fine.
