Welsh out??

[-CG-]

Everytime he gets a game it's his last chance, and he hasn't taken one yet.

Surely we'd get more value out of playing Meesen to cover their talls and cover the loss of Hudson, and see if he's actually worth keeping?!

Apparently its supposed to rain tomorrow and Craig did mention he was looking for experience this weekend.

Are you serious? No way would've Pfeiffer played this week even if he was available. Even after 3 consecutive strong game for Norwood Pfeiffer wasn't even an emergency last week, whereas Jericho was on standby.

Jericho; talk about being gifted games. And yet just today Craig says he's against that. Yeah...

How are you feeling ....your taking quite a beating AP on several boards

 

[the egg]

I dont care what Jericho does, as long as he kicks a couple of goals and slams a few cats heads into the ground. It's time to take a leaf out of Josh Car's book and get under the skin of the Abletts and Bartels and disrupt their game like it was done to cousins last week.

You expect Jericho to slam people into the ground?

He might be able to slam Mackie

People need to wake up if they’re hoping Jericho can suddenly turn it around and show some heart and physicality. The guy is as soft as butter, even at SANFL level. He shirks contests while playing for Norwood, he won’t put his body on the line, and he won’t take a hit. The guy is an absolute joke of a footballer and yet for some reason he’s still in the minds of the coaching staff. Are we happy to let soft players in our team? I don’t care if Stiffy gives me the Burgoyne example for the millionth time, he WILL not change his ways. In a year where he’s on his last chance and he’s playing for his career, he’s still as soft as ever.

What’s even more concerning though is that I’m starting to think he’ll be around next year. He’s already guaranteed Biglands being around in 2008, who the heck is going to be delisted? Time to worry.

hmmmmm maybe Drummond? I agree with your post Drummond, I don't think Jericho will be delisted tho. Seems to have something only the coaches see.

But who would you have put in from the 25 named to replace Scott Welsh? Mattner is not a forward.

 

[macca23]

Yep. Himself, in a dead faint, when he sees Mooney running straight at him.

 

[RoosterLad]

Well hopefully Mooney trips over the limp, lifeless body of Jericho and injures himself in the process, thus proving that Craig is a master coach.

I'm NOT disagreeing with you BUT there are no other options for Welsh that I can see.

You do have to think about team balance, opposition ect

That's not to say that becuase he's playing tomorrow that he still won't be delisted or traded ....my hope is he's traded for something as you say a litlle more committed

Mattner anyone?

 

[King Elvis]

I'm all for Mattner playing, but he doesn't fill the hole left by Welsh. Jericho is capable of playing up forward and kicking goals.

Jericho doesn't fill that hole either.

Mattner in, rotate Edwards through HFF.

 

[- PC -]

Deep down, I hope he does WW.

It would be an interesting test of his character, something I have always questioned.

It would give him an opportunity to put things right so to speak, or nail himself to the cross once and for all.

Nail.Cross.Legs

 

[lunacy]

Jericho in?

Mattner would be suicidal.

Couldn't we bring in Meesen to play as a forward, considering where a big man down without Hudson - pinch hit him in the ruck if need be?

We're not a big man down. Hudson out, Griffin In.

 

[cro_Magnum]

Put Jericho at full forward. They're all soft there anyway.

 

[jenny61_99]

Disappointed that Scotty hasn't come up. Agree that Jericho is a "like for like" exchange. Really hope he can show US what he apparently shows the coaches tomorrow. Hope he has a great game to shut doubters up. No, let me say - I hope he has a great game to help us win! I really think this will be his last roll of the dice.

 

[-WWJD-]

Could be a blessing in disguise, its not like Welsh has a great record against Geelong. Jericho might be able to keep Scarlett to only 28 touche this year.

 

[NSWCROW]

Is THE GRIFF injured ??

edit - Just read he's in !!

 

[crowsarethebest]

Geez. Vince would be a much better option. I reckon he would've been good on the HFF- except he's been suspended. Jericho to go on Mackie, the battle of the two softies (although Mackie is by far the better one).

 

[jenny61_99]

Just looking on the OS and can't see Welsh out anywhere. Can someone confirm this please?

 

[bus24]

looking at AFL livescores and I see Jericho, but no Radar.

Strange selection if true.

Only saw the last bit of Sturt on ABC but saw No Mattner. Did he play or is he the travelling emergency with Campbell and Meesen??

 

[ThePeckers]

No WELSH... Our leading goal kicker is out against the top side, and we bring in an amatuer/Jericho

I dont think even devine intervention is going to help him.

 

[earlsta]

NO welsh Or reilly.


who's the other player that is coming in other than Jericho?

 

[macca23]

Channel 10 just announced that Welsh was out with shin soreness but never mentioned Reilly.

Where did the Reilly "out" come from??
