**** you Howat, taking the place of decent footballers like Edwards.

 

[banzai]

Cant believe Howat would play ahead of Edwards, Polo, Morton, Coughlan etc.

 

[itsintheblood]

Is this for ****inG real? Howat in place of edwards and morton? That would have to be one fo the dumbest things ive seen. Unless we're playing games of course!!!

 

[HFC082]

What's the go with Cogs? Are they taking the conservative approach with his knee?

 

[banzai]

Its basically the same team that won the spoon with McMahon and Simmonds added...

Hasnt played enough yet, will need a full game at Coburg first.

 

[Oh we're from Tigerland..]

OMFG!!! Worst possible team for first round. Few points to fix!
1. McMahon at forward flank will NOT work1!!!!! We got him to give us the run off the back line, so put him there!!!
2. Morton not playing!!! :O Been one of our best players over the preseason.
3. Edwards not in the team, and Howat is!!??
4. Where the **** is Polo!!!???

 

[HFC082]

Fair enough. Just make sure he gets bathed, and don't let him near the showers

 

[krustyman]

where's polo, how come moore can get a game?

 

[WATIGE]

No Turnoverdale - wohoo

 

[WATIGE]

This means Howat's been elevated again - am I right?

 

[banzai]

No Turnoverdale - wohoo

The one positive

 

[Wally07]

That team selection is not too bad with the obvious exception being the selection of Howatt.

At least there is no tivendale

 

[Drunken Wookie]

No Tivendale and Hyde an emergency will please some!
Not a bad line-up. The defence looks very solid and I see they're going to persist with the Raines in the midfield caper.
Would have Morton and Edwards ahead of Howat surely...
Go Schulz, back from cracked ribs so soon, I really hope it's a sign of increased determination from him and a big season ahead!

 

[Checkers]

I can see them having Howat infront of Edwards because he has had limited preperation but infront of Morton? Why bother getting him if someone like Howat is getting a game infront of him.

 

[Richo Rules]

howat is a suprise to me also
morton should be in

edwards and polo have had interupted pre seasons which may explain why they have missed

 

[TigerPower]

OMFG!!! Worst possible team for first round. Few points to fix!

Get a life mate, the rfc selectors have more brains than you. Howat is a half decent player, his stats back it up, edwards is lacking match fitness so howat is the better option. Morton obviously isn't playing for a reason and the team has been selected how it is because the selecters think thats how we will best match up with carlton.

 

[TigerGlory]

No way can Howat be named in the side, thats a shocker of a decision.

No Riewoldt? Disappointed. And i thought Schulz was injured too.

I'd much rather see Polak at CHF and Schulz at CHB to be honest.

Andrew Raines in the centre is good. I'd like to see Newy there too.

Its alright i guess. Im spewin Morton wasnt named.

 

[Oh we're from Tigerland..]

Im starting to think that maybe we put Schulz in there to scare Carlton a bit, who are lacking tall defenders at the moment. I HOPE he comes out for Morton!

 

[Bluegene]

Not a troll but who is this Edwards guy you all wanted to play?

 

[HFC082]

Not a troll but who is this Edwards guy you all wanted to play?

Shane Edwards. He goes alright

 

[richoatthedisco]

How can they pick Howat ahead of Polo, Morton, Edwards or even Tivs FFS?

 

[RichosGuns]

Late Change Morton IN, Schultz OUT... watch this space

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Not a troll but who is this Edwards guy you all wanted to play?

It's just an inside joke mate, we don't have an Edwards on our team.

 

[beaver's army]

one of our best youngsters, light frame but has great skills and loves to take the opposition on.
