You are kidding yourself if you think Russell and Blackwell are ready for AFL.

Also, you included Clarke, the worst footballer (albeit one of the fastest ).... wtf?... for Wiggins, who kept Ablett quiet in the third qtr...?
Simpson cleared from the centre a few times along with Bentick and both have to stay in this team.

Wiggins- Ablett was the best player on the ground. Wiggins was absolutely thrashed. To say he should stay because he possibly beat him in one quarter is a joke.

Russell and Blackwell- The season is over for us, time to start blooding kids and both have been playing very well in the twos.

Clarke- He's a proven ballgetter who'll put some pressure off our top players. He may have crap skills but he can't be much worse than half the side this week. He's been very good in the twos for the entire season basically so he has to be included.

Umm, he didn't play on him for the first half when he destroyed us.

Russell and Blackwell- The season is over for us, time to start blooding kids and both have been playing very well in the twos..

Season over, after 8 Rounds? Pull up.

Clarke- He's a proven ballgetter who'll put some pressure off our top players. He may have crap skills but he can't be much worse than half the side this week. He's been very good in the twos for the entire season basically so he has to be included.

About all his proven is that he is useless. Don't bag my own players, Clarke is an exception. Got no skills, not crap skills, whatsoever. I'd rather have Kade Simpson in my team over Clarke any day

 

[NavyBlueBlood]

I agree with Prenda and DeLuca needing to have a spell though. Both have just looked out of sorts IMO

 

[gandaal]

Umm, he didn't play on him for the first half when he destroyed us.

What about the second half when he destroyed us?

Season over, after 8 Rounds? Pull up.

The truth is harsh sometimes. Season''s over, start playing the kids.

About all his proven is that he is useless. Don't bag my own players, Clarke is an exception. Got no skills, not crap skills, whatsoever. I'd rather have Kade Simpson in my team over Clarke any day

We need Clake. Our midfield is shockingly bad right now and he's the only proven midfielder currently sitting in the twos. He may be crap but but at least he isn't incompetent.

And yeah I'd actually like to make a change. Bryan out of my picked side, Simpson in.

 

[av76]

Ins: Carrazzo, Livingston, Morrell, Bowyer/Clarke
Outs: Prendy, De Luca, Scotland, Johnson

Morrell is a difficult one but I think he can play both back and forward, unlike Deluca...so on that accout alone he is an improvement. Longmuir played well in the twos...but we have Betts and Davies and Morrell can least play as a backman if need be or if we play the paddock.

Just hope Barnaby doesn't get injured...

Scotland...fed up...Pagan is too by the look of it...7 possessions last week...I think Bentick and Simpson should be given a run through the middle.

Bowyer or Clarke deserve a run given recent bullants form (Bowyer got lots of possessions again this week but didn't appear in the votes)...they aren't the most skilled but neither is Johnson.

I think Walker needs a spell just to gain some confidence. The first time he had a spell this year he came back and played a solid game against the Power. He is a young player and a bit inconsistent and I think a week in the VFL will do him a world of good.

P.S: Of all the inclusions Livingston has to be a definite!!!

walker needs to be given more game time. i think pagan should set him a tagging task each week and let him play a full game. even if he get led to a contest, once he is there he is talented enough to do some damage.
let him learn what AFL is about by playing not by watching from the bench.

Agree but maybe not a tagging task he needs to be centre were he can show his skills

[shacka]

Livo and Carro if they are fit should come in. Perhaps Digby as well. Jonno has got to go back to the Ants. If Shlongmuir gets recalled i'm going to smack my head against the wall.

I'd like to see DeLuca and Prenda stay in given that the Dees are without their FF and CHB. I think we can really stretch their defence this week.

Digby deserves another crack as does Longmuir who adds another option up forward. Both kicked 4 goals last week for the ants. Glen Bowyer while not the most skilled player around is at least having a crack which is more I can say for some. I expect a good show for our last game so lets get down to Optus to support the Blues & hope for a great win!

NOTES:

Sporn can have another week before returning. Blackwell is close.

I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but for the love of God Pagan, play Lappin down back. He's a lemon up forward.

Campo up forward. He'll do a better job than Lappin. He's stronger, faster and kicks great goals on the run.

Waite's our CHF from now on. He's already better than half of the CHFs in the league and he'll only get better. It's nice to have someone up forward who can mark the pill.

Bentick's going to be a very important player for us in the future. So play him now! Give him the time he needs. He's probably already the toughest midfielder in our team.

 

[Waite_30]

Just on the topic, can general admission be able to get in?

 

[parrot]

Our team should be.....

B Carazzo Livo Lappin
HB Norman Thornton Campo
C Scotland Bentick Chambers
HF Waite Whitnall Walker
F Betts Fev Davies
R French Stevens Kouta
Inter Houla Russell Wiggins Setanta

but they will....
select Digby rather than Norman, Sporn rather than Setanta, and Clarke rather than Russell.

one day they'll actually select our best side.

Setanta had a very average game on the weekend, Russell wouldn't have the same kind of impact Clarke would have (although I personally would play both) and Morrell was BOG on the weekend while Norman is a disgrace who'll never play AFL footy for Carlton ever again.

So they should they played far better,simple you want a game play better then the next guy.Clarke has played well all year the guy has ernt the right.

 

[Kooley]

. If Shlongmuir gets recalled i'm going to smack my head against the wall.

Longmuir definitely deserves another chance. He has got good endurance, excellent skills and reads the play very well. He spoke on SEN after the Bullants game on Saturday, and said that he probably needed to spend more time in the Bullants side to gain some match fitness and his original recall into the Blues line up against PA was probably a bit pre-mature considering he missed all of the pre-season with a groin injury. With Fev back in the team, Wait in good form and hopefully Lance back to CHF with the inclusion of Luke at FB Longmuir could be a very dangerous proposition floating in the fowrad line as our 3rd tall or even 4th mobile tall. We must remember Rivers is out this week, Miller is suspended so the dees could be stretched a little down back.

OUT: DE LUCA IN: LONGMUIR

 

[Da Bull]

Here's one from left field.

How about Deluca holds his spot for at least another week and promote Digby as well. I think having a number of talls forward will stretch melbournes backline seeing both Miller and now Rivers are out.

I watched last year as Melbournes forward line absolutely monstered us at the G, providing Bruce with a heap of opportunities. If our blokes are up to it lets give the D's a dose.

Also Johnson is our only inside midfielder. Against Melbourne we need hands on first. Kouta can't do it all the time.

 

[Snoozer]

Oh my God... David Clarke into the side!!!! How he ever got on to an AFL list astonishes me!! If he ever plays AFL football ever again it will be way too soon.

 

[shacka]

How about Deluca holds his spot for at least another week and promote Digby as well. I think having a number of talls forward will stretch melbournes backline seeing both Miller and now Rivers are out.

I concur.
