[Ricketts]

Good to see Mahoney out, there's always one dud from the opposition that carves us up, he could have been it.

 

[JoeLCatS]

Chappys hammy worse than was we have been led to believe?

 

[chapmanmagic35]

I hope like hell we don't get sucked into playing Hunt.

 

[MmkMrMackie]

I hope Boak can get up for a game. Will be good to see Selwood towel him up...

Why? Because he was drafed higher? So what!

 

[DanA]

Nothing wrong with the old "my kid is better than your kid". Childish but satisfying

 

[crosby123]

Hard to say who will make up the bench.

 

[MmkMrMackie]

Why? Because he was drafed higher? So what!

Because we were close to drafting him, and it is satisfying seeing Selwood perform better.

 

[chapmanmagic35]

Who cares? The draft is very much a lottery, and why take satisfaction out of the failure of a young draftee?

 

[Cattas2006]

you would have to say the interchange would be...


Blake, Stokes, Tenace, Rooke (if hes fit)..


I cant see who you would drop for harley on the bench.. tommmahawk wont play because he didn;t do anything in the VFL.. Prismall, miss out again unfortuantely..

Wouldn't say Boak is a failure yet. I'd be taking satisfaction in seeing our kid, picked up later in the draft excelling.

 

[tin can sam]

I hope Boak gets a game for the power, it'd be great to see him play his first game against us.

 

[DanA]

Boak has consistently been in the best and more often than not BOG in the SANFL.

One positiopn earlier. In the Top 10.

 

[BlueNWhite]

I think it's interesting that Hawk's been named as an emergency - despite Bomber saying he'll be rested this week, didn't Nathan spend a good portion of the last quarter on the bench in trackies? Maybe one of KPP forwards is struggling with an undisclosed injury at this point. It'll be interesting to see the final cut tomorrow night anyway.

I still don't think Hawk will play, but him being named may mean somebody up forward is not 100%

 

[Metallica_Man]

hawkins wont play
harley not sure, you'd think if he was playing he wouldnt be named on the extended bench but we'll have to see
prismall unlucky i reckon

I reckon Tenace will start on the ground with Selwood on the bench (midfeild rotation) and Hunt playing the same role as last week floating around HF.

Which leaves Blake Selwood, Tenace & Rooke on the bench. I reckon Mackie & Rooke are a chance for a late withdrawal for Harley.

 

[MmkMrMackie]

Wasn't Rooke a bit sore after last week? Will he be right?

 

[Mooney_d'King]

I hope like hell we don't get sucked into playing Hunt.

Come on man, Hunt's not that bad. I'm more disturbed to see Chappie out than Hunt in.

 

[Claude Balls]

Perform better...? Boak hasn't even played yet! Do you think that has anything to do how talented he is

You guys sound like your combined age could be no more than 20...

I know for a fact that Boak is a super talent and could easily be the equal of Selwood in terms of potential. Just because he has not yet played a senior game doesn't mean he is inferior... the mind boggles. Think about it this way: Port Adelaide knew he wanted to play for Geelong, and they could have taken Selwood, yet they still opted to select Boak... do you think they just took a wild stab in the dark?!

Probably.

 

[Tonycam*]

Come on man, Hunt's not that bad. I'm more disturbed to see Chappie out than Hunt in.

Its a blow not having Chappy in , but we have done it over the past few weeks without him , and we have to do it again.
Thats another week without him in my Supercoach also

 

[Copernicus]

Surprised that Chappy didn't come up, but I guess they're making sure about his fitness.

To be honest I'd be surprised if any of these ins made it into the 22 - All those on the bench performed well last week. The only out that makes sense to me is Rooke for Harley or Prismall, if Max still isn't quite over whatever niggle he contracted last week.
