Did someone say TANK.

Looks like Miller and Newton are certainties, guesses for the bench?

B: Johnson, Jetta, McKenzie, Valenti

How well is Robbo going when they can't even be bothered inventing an injury for him

 

[proka123]

I wouldn't be surprised if we got r*ped.

 

[master bate]

Newton and Miller will be powerful weapons in this tanking war.

McLean, Green and Grimes removes 3 of our best but this is probably not the worst team we've put out recently - it just looks stupid with all the changes and the emergencies, especially Bail who is light years away. Hopefully they go PJ, Cheney, Jetta and McKenzie.

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

I got to admit I'm looking forward to seeing Bail, McKenzie and more of Valenti. They have to tried and tested at some stage.

Given Bail was our last pick at 60(?) Is there any chance he could be delisted this year if he's no good. It would be a very harsh call, but if it was needed to free up a spot on the list for a better prospect? Or does he have 2 years?

 

[half back flank]

very interested to see how this forward line would go. Sydneys defence aint that tall so we might get a couple of goals and behinds out of Newton and Miller.

Is it too much of a risk or could we leave PJ out and have Martin and maybe Newton rucking? Probably not against Jolly

I/C: Johnson, Jetta, McKenzie, Valenti

All players taken in the national draft receive 2 year contracts, with no possibility to delist anyone.

Edited for fairness

But yeah, it's not like all four of them don't have legitimate injuries!

Silly to say we're 'tanking' on that basis...

 

[Supermercado]

So apparently Green is out for the season - having surgery on both hands.

How i think we should line up, McKenzie's VFL form has been as good as any youngster we have drafted over the last 3 years.

Newton has deserved his chance as his defensive in the vfl has been great since he was dropped from the adeliade game and has kicked 12 goals in the last 3 weeks.

Robertson deserved to be dropped, you can be beaten and not kick goals but to then let your direct opponnet round around at will to gether 30 touches your not working hard enough. Not to mention the amount of times he stays down like a sack of spuds when in a contested situation, its embarrassing.

 

[Pipefitter]

Yeah we aint tanking? The AFL has gotta do something about this. I think blind freddy can see through all this crap. It exists and its a blight on the game. I wonder if melbourne supporters will be cheering losses?

 

[Capt_Concussion]

So apparently Green is out for the season - having surgery on both hands.

I hope he has a friendly Mrs.

I hope he has a friendly Mrs.

Zing! I'll be here all week, try the veal!

Ahem.
