O'Bree's carrying an injury of sorts - I think we should rest him.

Who would come in? Licuria?

Still no Fraser. Could the Richards/Bryan combo go 3 straight?!

 

[Coin_Toss]

Who would come in? Licuria?

Yes, Licuria deserves another chance, his form has been very good.

 

[gormanisahack]

Whats the go with Didak how he will be back for finals?

 

[Stakerz]

Bloody Hell Didak..

I wanna see Dick play again, Dick for Didak sounds ok.

Bit of a surprise that Fraser didn't return.

Do we gather from that that MM doesn't think we can make top four, or that he's sizing up Bryan/Richards one last time on a level playing field before one gets the arse?

I think the latter.

It is VERY unlikely we make 4th syd beating haw is a very good chance but WB to beat the roos is unlikely so yeh i think he may be resting fraser for the finals. BTW i think we finish 5th with us beating adelaide and syd beating the hawks and the roos to beat the dogs

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I doubt the Swans will beat the Hawks, I reckon we'll stay 6th either way to be honest.

Where's Dick and Licuria? Surely they deserve a game

I don't know if we can fit Dick back into the side for Round 22, it's a bit late.

Worst. Sentence. Ever.

The way Fraser has been, carrying his injury, we've actually been better off in the ruck for the last two weeks.

No point bringing in Josh if he's not fit - If he can't run off his opponent and cause havoc, then he's actually a worse player than Richards or Bryan.

Bring him back next week if he's ready, or quite frankly, if he's not healthy, we might be better off without him.

 

[Thommo 42]

why do people think Licca deserves another chance, I mean seriously?

If O'Bree goes out, Stanley should finally get a chance in the guts.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Glad Fraser is out
Goodluck pie fans, but just dont win

Pfft. If you think he will help us win well you're on drugs.

Maybe when he is fully over his injury he might find some form.

But atm he really is struggling and is better off out of the team.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Yes, Licuria deserves another chance, his form has been very good.

whats the go with Licuria, is he out of favor or something with Malthouse? the guy is an extremely good run with player ..... you'd think he would be more than handy this week considering - Goodwin & Edwards usually average around the high 20+ possessions against you guys.

I think now with Rusling out, Licca will come in instead of Reid. The Crows have a lot of running players and licca should get a run with job for mine.

Who will play on the dangerous Burton? I think Goldsack would be a great match up for him!

Not sure Rusling is out yet... sounds like an iffy rumour but if so I would like Reid in.

I agree that Goldsack would be a good match up for Burton. I would also play Maxwell in the forward line playing defensively on McLeod.

That would mean we would have Maxwell, Reid/Rusling, Rocca, Cloke up forward... could be a bit top heavy actually! Maybe Dick in?
