Injury Thompson out

[fryingpan]

Sore calf, replaced with Armstrong.

Another week another inury

 

[Riggy1]

meh, I havn't been to impressed by Thompson's disposal effiecency (spelt wrong?) of late, no big loss

Go ARMSTRONG!!!!!!!!

 

[Good Win]

Just what we needed.

[crowman86]

Huge loss. Has been great in close this year.

 

[SydCrow]

let's hope Macca is OK or Gunner will debut!!!!!!

 

[NTRabbit]

Huge loss. Has been great in close this year.

Dangerfield has to spend the majority of the game in the middle and away from the forward line now.

 

[WALL-e]

Dangerfield in the centre becomes very key. Thomo had turned a corner last week with disposal damaging.

Tie your boots gunna!

 

[Coopers]

Great.

Just when we had the "bigger stronger bodies" advantage over the teenage Roos midfield.

 

[flackjack]

Sore calf...would that only be a week injury?

 

[Huntercrow]

Never a break!

We've lost a lot of experience from the line up.
but I get the feeling from the NM board that they may take us lightly.

 

[dplggr47]

big loss IMO. Thompson was great last week...
and Armstrong is no comparison, but good luck to the youngster.

 

[taylor_walker_13]

Excellent that is ten less turn overs this week, we will romp it home

 

[Cap]

armstrong for thompson seems very strange

 

[dplggr47]

armstrong for thompson seems very strange

well, Armstrong can play defence for Johncock, and Dangerfield can play midfield for Thompson...and Walker for Burton.
though i was hoping Sloane made it to the emergency list instead of Armstrong, which would've meant he'd be in the team this week, but i guess he's only just returned from injury.

 

[Schulzycrow]

We can 't take a trick. Thommo was just starting to show some form last week.

 

[Allefgib]

Danger to the guts!

 

[cmndstab]

I hope they give Danger some real responsibility in the middle this game instead of rotating him there from the forward line. Real opportunity to step up into that role.

Horrible news on Thompson though. I think some people who love to stick the knife into him will realise how much we miss him if he ends up out for a while (I no longer even consider that injuries may only last one week )

Ben Hart on 10 news just said that Dangerfield and Douglas will spend more time in the middle.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Good to hear Danger to the middle, Armstrong across half-back and maybe even give Jaensch a go across half-forward/wing... a more attacking role will hopefully get him in the game a bit more so we can see what he can really do.

Idiotic comment, replacing a first class, hard bodied in and under midfielder with a "green" outside receiver yet to prove he's even fit to tie Thommo's bootlaces!!!

He is replacing him in the side, not in position.

 

[jackster83]

Time for VB and especially Vince to stand up. Bernie has been pretty uninspiring so far this year.

 

[NTRabbit]

True, but the team is significantly weaker for it regardless.

 

[Allbetsroff]

Significantly is going a bit too far.

Thompson's form this year compared to last is chalk and cheese.
