What to do with O'brien when Rusling's back.

I think we might be able to keep him playing because i think you are aloud to have a nominated rookie who can play, therefore, he being that one. Let's hope so though, and good point to bring up, something I completely forgot.

I think its fine that he goes back to the rookie list.

It's not like we don't have guys that could come in for him.

I reckon even Mick would tell you Wakelin is still a far better player. But he is merely taking the chance to develop our youth as much as possible.

John Anthony would also be capable, I reckon he'd be as good as Harry at pick 30 odd.
 
Not possible. They must be verified as long term injured. Tex has a broken thumb but no doctor will write him off for the minimum term required (eight weeks???)

As soon as Rus is fit to play for Willy, Harry will get dropped back to the rookie list and return to the Seagulls. That will open up a spot in defence for Wakelin, Jason Cloke, or maybe even John Anthony.

Is ipossible to put another player on the injury list, if they're not injured? (ie. Tex or Hall)

hahaha. Putting the player on the injured list when they're not injured, now that would be an insult. Or it could be seen as the "polite" way of telling a player they are crap.
 
We could throw a little cashola to the team doc to find a few more fractures in Tex's thumb that weren't picked up on the first x-ray. In fact, not only were these fractures not picked up at first, they are season ending to boot.

Damien Peverill circa 2001 ring bells?

Re: Hoggy

Yeah, I remember him playing great but had to go back onto the rookie list, but...

In 2004, both Lovett-Murray and Lovett played off the rookie list. One of them had an (N) next to his name in the Record, stating nominated rookie, so I figure that is something to go by.

That's because Essendon had only one veteran, so they can have one of their rookies take the extra spot.

We have Bucks & Burns.
 
This is a dame shame. Harry is in sensational form and is one of my favourities at the moment.

Certainly doesnt deserve to be dropped, would continue to get a game if we can get him onto the list.

Hopefully it will work out :cool:

yeah coz none of our players ever turn it over?

johnno did it for the first 5 years of his career.

rowe's skills are developing.
It's precisely because so many of our players turn it over that we shouldn't be adding another.

The fact is, for every Johnno whose kicking has improved significantly, there are about 15 others who started out poor kicks and stayed poor kicks.

If Tristen can get it together it will be good for our club.
Hall too.

I think the formula is:
Chad Morrison + Crowbar + Masked Attacker = O'Brien kept on the senior list
no disrespect but :D :D :D

You mean the bloke who got 30+ possies on Saturday and was named as one of the best on ground in the midfield??
yeah but i have heard that not many like him at the club, so i was thinking if we break his leg no1 will care!

I would like to keep walker, i dunno im still hoping he may turn into something!
