Who'll be in for Haynes? My tip is Bradley.

 

[Pevers-Legend]

why won't haynes play?

My tip is Dyson or alvey to come in. Reckon it would be Alvey given he is a bigger body and Geelong are quick (although that also favours Dyson as well).

Haynes won't play because he hasn't even started back into full training yet! He's still on the laps around the oval.

Unless it's another elaborate scheme by Sheedy, and he's been doing full training in secret.....

 

[BomberGal]

Is Rioli someone they've just named for mind games, or is he genuinely right to play? I haven't really kept up with it this week.

 

[Seb]

Nice to see other supporters struggling with their coach's mischievous, yet stupid schemes of dropping players on match day.

Thompson, after doing an apprenticeship under Sheedy, pulls the same stunt - Naming a player who 'doesn't come up' each week. Very annoying for us supporters if you ask me.

Anyhow, incase you haven't checked Geelong's teamsheet, Sanderson, an option to play on your troublesome smaller forwards, will be missing through injury. He is being replaced by Rooke (on form, a slightly bewildering decision).

David Johnson (the brother of Mark) was omitted also. However, as Thompson loves making the gameday changes, i'm expecting him to come in. Who will be out? Well, I have no idea on that one

 

[Hosko]

Not sure why Rioli wouldn't play, he only rolled his ankle!

 

[Darealrath]

Would be happy with any of the 3 emergencies coming in.

 

[nonchalance]

Rioli will be fine.
Haynes is the mind game.
It'll be a huge surprise when he actually plays.

Good to hear that we're not the only ones who cop this bull****. It's not as if Thompson is going to seriously worry about Bradley, Alvey, Haynes or Dyson being in - he's got bigger fish to fry.

Apologies to Cats - I grinned very widely to hear that Sanderson was out. He looked the goods against Melbourne last week, and Cupes and NLM will be happy - as will Lloyd. Sanderson did a bit of 'third man up' quite effectively against Neitz, too.

Ricky Dyson is in for tomorrow night dont no who he has came in for !

 

[pWnd]

i could see why they'd choose haynes if they wernt sure what the weather would be like (i.e. whether to choose a tall or short type player) as happened last week, but considering this match is being played at the dome you really gotta wonder.....

 

[lufc618]

Fitzy, where did you heard that Dyson has replaced Haynes?
