Time to elevate Tom and play him for remaining 3 games. Cant believe he is sitting in th Bullants week after week when he exactly the type of midfielder we need. Should have been elevated by now after several long term injuries to our list :(
 
excuse my ignorance regarding rookie listed players , but is he available for selection this week? Or can't we pick him because of Curnow ?

Place one of the senior listed played on the long term injury list and we can elevate him. Seeing as Judd and Carazzo wont be playing for the remainder of the year we certainly have the ability to do so.
 
He won't be out of place in the side (and God I love how he hurts someone every week), but what we really need in the side is a ball magnet - our midfield possessions are way down this year - mainly because of Murphy's and Carrazzo's problems. Hopefully Graham is that magnet.

Guess we'll see what takes place this week, as both Judd & Carrazzo have been ruled out for the rest of the year.
Would like to see Lucas back in the side as well - we missed his run and carry last week against the Doggies.

Is there a limit to this? If you had five players on LTI list, could you temporarily elevate five rookies?
 
Tom Bell was elevated under the mid year rookie elevation the week before he broke his jaw. In other words, he is in Micks plans but got injured so obviously couldnt play. 3 games back now after injury, I think he is a big chance to play this week.

The opposition are aware when Robinson and Bell are in the area. Both these guys can really hurt. Saw Bell smash an opponent the other week and the opposition took note.

R: Kreuzer Bell Robinson

:cool:

Recall a game where Geelong's mids had a look after Robinson went full ball at one centre clearance. :D
 
I think posters are right to suggest that his grunt work is fantastic and exactly what our seniors are sorely missing, but it's clear in the VFL that Tommy can overextend his aggression and give his younger teammates unnecessary verbal serves whenever Tom's opponent runs off him and gets the ball. I've seen it several times and I wish Tom could be more constructive when directing youngster like Temay, Bootsma, Buckley and I've got the feeling from listening to the coaches address the players during the breaks in play that the coaching staff have noticed this as well.

Can't say I've noticed that although he is quite vocal and demanding on the field

If you do though give Bucks a serve undeservedly, you can expect to get one back.
Young Dylan could have killed Mitchell for ignoring his calls to pass to him last week. Even I was scared from the stands. :)

Dylan Buckley.... the scariest 45kg footballer since Simmo with a beard! :)

Get it in check and in a constructive manner and this is exactly what we need.
 
Apparently our players are neutered when they play in the seniors. Give these boys a run and inject some mongrel into the team FFS!
 
Hopefully the MC are forced to play the bash bros this weekend due to our injuries.

Anyone know if Graham played for the NB last weekend? Haven't heard his name mentioned in any of the match reports.

Yes he did, but didn't shine as much as previous weeks. He still had a good game, but Ellard, Bell & Robbo were better.

Does anyone know what this guy is like around the club? How he gets on with his team mates? Just based on the interviews ive seen of him, he seems like a bit of a strange cat. Some people just werent born for the camera, so im curious as to how he is received? Is he close with anyone specifically?

He's buds with Nickey Graham and used to hang out with Lucas a lot. He's a really nice guy, is studying real estate, easy to have a conversation with.
 
He's well liked at the club. The whole list is on good terms right now from what I hear. You have your quiet ones like Blaine Johnson but even in games we saw the boys get around him.
