Don't know if this has been mentioned somewhere else on the boards, buut Neagle, Gumbleton and Watson have been pulled out of the side this Friday. All were feeling a bit tight, so doesn't sound like anything to be concerned about, just being left out as a precaution. They will be replaced by Rhys Magin, John Williams, and Michael 'Mighty' Quinn

Frick, beaten to it by minute!!!!
Thanks RIG

Excellent news.... 2 games in a row and Neagle and Gumby are feeling tight.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

No Watson, No chance. I'm afraid this is going to get real ugly...

 

[Rack Watts]

Watson out sucks, but Magain is a good thinker and finds space too.
It's only nab cup, I like these changes, I would rather watch new comers play than win

And they had a week off between the 2 games.

Well there goes my first hope of tomorrow night. Shame that Gumby and Neagle are sore - I'm not worried about Jobe as he is a seasoned campaigner.

Will certainly put the acid on Lucas now to see what sort of shape he is in as the key deep forward. Can't beleive Stanton is our most experienced midfielder at 22!!!

Was looking forward to seeing Gumby & Neagle again.

Oh well I guess if it means they will be right for round 1 then its for a good cause.

Collingwood should smash us now, doesn't really matter though..

zaharakis will be an absolute gun. cant wait to see how he goes
over the next few years. played on him last year and was in awe of him.
cant rate him any higher.

And they had a week off between the 2 games.

At the rate these guys are going they'll smash Dean Wallis' record of 50 games in 10 years.

I personally would of liked Gumby to play instead of Lloyd and play Lucas at FF.

Don't worry, it will give the boy Hurley a chance to shine up forward under the Lloyd Lucas umbrella, and Maxwell is out.

With Dustin Fletcher out for Essendon this week, it is going to be a really big week for Patrick Ryder and Adam McPhee to step up as our most experienced defenders.

Knights is counting on McPhee stepping up in defense, well that's it, we are certain to lose now.

But seriously, I do hope he plays well.

 

[Crumpler83]

Win or lose I'm looking forward to seeing what the young guys bring to the table tonight, specifically Hurley and Zaharakis.

according to the afl.com.au live scores zaharakis isn't in the line-up
i was really looking forward to seeing him
