We just have an exhausting game plan.

Yep, I am really tired of losing....

next year's supporter pack to include a cosy blankie, pillow and a packet of Bex.

 

[Blue and Blue]

So I guess the rock climbing/free fall event I had planned with him is cancelled?
Can we still do the Highland Games? I don't see how a spot of log flinging could do any harm?

A horse in a kilt I got to see.......and I always thought you didn't give a toss.....

Some prozac, a blindfold and a sakc _______ sign where you fill in the blank...

I don’t know - thought I saw Charlie hanging out with these dudes over the weekend

 

[Jimmae]

We played him there one game IIRC, and this place went ballistic at us risking him like that.

Wasn't that McKay? Once Charlie is back, we have to use him there IMO.

 

[Jimmyonesix]

Reserves played a scratch match last Sunday versus swans and others (maybe Edwards from Richmond played).
Teague stated that Dow and Kennedy were very impressive and also mentioned LOB.
Hopefully they'll continue organising some sort of match sim scenarios.

Seen enough of Kennedy surely

I'm certain it was Charlie.

Frankly, I'm a little disappointed at Harry's lack of versatility. He played all over the place in his U18 year. Certainly wasn't permanently stationed at full forward.

He should be the ideal ruck/forward, even if only following the Tom Hawkins model.

Excellent wet weather footballer but maybe without enough point of difference from cripps as an on baller - as in you probably couldn't play both without being too slow.

Would rather JSOS or McGov...or actually find a proper option. A Chol/Coleman Jones type

 

[FRUMPY]

Seems my timeline for when we get Charlie back was actually pretty spot on. Two weeks of contact drills, 2 weeks of VFL, one with managed minutes, one full game play... gets to round 15 with Charlie possibly being available for round 16.

How are my doubters about the timeline I set out, going now?

did you have us at 5-10 at round 15?

 

[FRUMPY]

Surely, but here we are. IMO, the only way he plays is as a third 'tall' - the only time he has looked good was when they played him fwd.

I agree, and I'm even a little concerned about our lack of depth in that area. Unless we play one of Levi, Pitto or TDK as our 2nd ruck, we have no one else to provide that chop out.

I know it's bold, but I wouldn't mind trying JSOS, Setters or Kennedy as our ruck relief. One of them can be the new Shaun Grigg.

Martin's my smoky. Can jump, is also great in congestion, hard to tackle but sticks his own, and uses the ball well.

What exactly is a chop out?
I think the term is resting ruck................and do JSOS/Setters/Kennedy all go in individually at once or on each others shoulders?

My mate made me ask this..hes a bit of a clown

Bloody hell, B&B.

I am NOT your mate....

 

[I bleed Blue]

Cant wait till Charlie is fit and we can finally play our ideal forward and ruck set up

ruck- Pitto
HF- TDK Charlie McGovern
Ff- Casboult Harry JSOS

 

[bigblueboy]

I blame lockdown insanity

The guy already struggles with injury issues and you want him to go against the 100kg mammoths? tf?

Blues have sent me insane long before lockdown

 

[Dramoth]

did you have us at 5-10 at round 15?

I had us at 9-11 come the end of the season midding out on finals by a couple of games.

Or the Sticks model... tall mobile forward taking the ruck contest in the forward half while the actual ruckman is a kick away the contest just in case they win the contest and just slam the ball on their foot... kind of like what we tend to do with the ball.

Sorry, I meant we should use McKay in the ruck as relief... should have been clearer! Don't see the point in depserately needing a role player for it if Charlie and Jack are fit.
