What does Houli have to do to get another game in the seniors?

He's been consistently good at VFL and yet others are getting a game before him. :confused:

Maybe we could have debuted Remiers against West Coast when our season is well and truely gone.

Apart from that I'm pretty happy as long as Johns is out of the side.

Interesting to see MJ and JJ. When was the last time we didn't have a Johnson in the team?
 
Tell ya what i was critical of MJ and that he should of been dropped awhile ago but in his defence now apart from the shocker he had on sunday the guy did kick 3 goals against the crows with a couple in the last quarter to help us win. Now i'm no rocket scientist but doesn't that say to u that he maybe should of played in the forward line at the weekend.

Bit strange to me dropping a guy a week after bagging 3 goals but keeping him in the side when he was doing bugger all earlier in the year. Spose thats why the coach has been given the arse

But I have a feeling that maybe one of Pev or Jobe will get dropped in favour off the messiah,

Jobe and Pev are in career best form. They will be certain starters for Sunday's game. The only reason they would miss the game would be through injury.
 
MJ shouldnt be dropped. he should be chucked in the forward pocket and left there for the rest of his career which could be a long one if he played there. we saw what he can do against adelaide. he is an awesome contested mark, would bag at least 3 a game playing forward...
somethings sheedy does puzzle me. like last week why wasnt lucas put one out in the goalsquare with campbell brown, lucas was carrying and injury (therefore the less running the better) and had a massive height advantage that wasnt exploited. MJ playing in the backline on a quicker player week in week out is always not going to work.. forward pocket, not in bendigo..

im happy with reimers and gumby coming in... johns will make way for gumby and i think rama may be rested (in other words omitted), we will see though

Yep in my opinion Sheeds has totally lost his mind!!! What's the point of omitting MJ to bring in Camporeale???
 
Whats the point. He will get a big rest in another 4 weeks anyway.

At the moment he is struggling. If Scotty is injured, why not let Gumby or even Johns have a crack at it. Doesn't look like we will be playing finals.

would greatly suprise me, ant said he trained very well during the week, and given that he played with injury last week (he didnt train at all really last week) he will play even if he has an injury this week
It wouldn't surprise me because in Sheedy's press conference, he said there's a chance Lucas will be rested and Gumbleton will take his place at CHF.
However that was before training yesterday, so Sheeds might decide to keep Lucas in after doing well at training.
 
Really unfair for the selection panel to make MJ the scapegoat for the shocking performance against hawthorn. Sure he made skill errors but there were plenty of people who were more responsible for that beating than him, at least he was getting his hands on the ball and he was the matchwinner against adelaide 2 weeks ago. They obviously have a very short memory.
 
Just more really, really wierd selection decisions there.

MJ out, Campo in - obviously not a "focus on the future" selection... but if not, what? Campo > MJ? Maybe 3 years ago...

His disposal has been very ordinary this year.

He's good games have come only at the smaller Telstra Dome - not at big grounds similar to Subi.

Sadly the game has passed him by.

Has Rama been rested?
Bit confused because he is placed on the emergency list.

I can see Reimers having a cracking debut in front of his home crowd, will be playing in front of a lot of his mates.

Also excepting Monfries to crank it up for his 50th game.
Congratulations on making the 50th. Onya Gus!! :thumbsu::thumbsu:
 
Re: Final side for Dockers

Yeah pretty happy with that.

Think we're a bit too slow/not-good-enough in the midfield to win though hopefully freo have a bit of a letdown after the derby.
 
i can't believe that we are half a game out of the eight and people like you are ruling us out of contention, show some support and optimism.

And also, monfries is a youngster so what you are saying is that you want to start regularly playing youngsters but take out monfries in the process.

get a clue
Also with a bad percentage which means we will have to be an extra game clear in order to make the 8, and we have 2 very hard games over at subi, with the other 2 winnable but not locked in. If we win 3 it may get us into the finals, but i think we would have to win 4 to make sure we get there, which is a very tough ask.
