Followed Dunks to Brissie??

Hey that's not punishment.

The 0 - 2 start isn't really the issue for most supporters it's more about the way we are performing.
Whilst I'm excited for Arty to be making his debut I would have preferred a couple of games at Footscray as a lead in.
It's all well and good to be working hard at training but it's very different we that siren goes off.

Prior to Xmas I don't think I could have envisaged Arty playing until much later in the season but his progress since then has been impressive.

Yep.

If you compare it to last season it's chalk & cheese... I left the Rd.2 game against Carlton last year feeling like we were a pretty decent team having shot ourselves in the foot against a team that were up & about... polar opposites to this year when I left Saturday's night feeling like we're a bottom 4 team.

Bolded bit. Me among them. Jones may well not be ready but if he's a torpedo bearing down on defenders and pressuring them, in my book, he's earned his spot.

Luke Dahlhaus v2. I wait with keen anticipation for the Art Jones Play Home. (I think it is meant to rhyme a little).

I wish Arty all the best. I was keen to see him in Rnd1.. but I'm just not sure we've got the timing right on this one.
1. Adductor injury keeps him out of Rnd1 & 2...
2. The team is struggling en masse to deliver anywhere near a coherent performance in the first two rounds.
3. The team has a 5 day turnaround to face Brisbane
3. Arty comes straight in for Rnd 3 in a critical match against Brisbane.

I'm just not sure that's the perfect recipe for giving Arty the chance to shine.

I hope I'm massively wrong on this and the lad makes a decent contribution, and the rest of the team lift their standards.

McNeil has pace to burn and applies pressure. I really don't know why he's on the nose.

Named an an emergency last week so he must be close

[bornadog]

In: Arty, McNeil, Treloar

Out: Darcy, West, Scott,

If Lobb fit, then Mclean to sub.

[MrMahatma]

Definitely a faster team.

[Rocco Jones]

In- Arty, McNeil, Adz, Lobb, Gardner
Out- West, , Truck, Keath, Darcy, Tobias

If guys aren't declared fit
Khamis for Lobb
Keath for Gardy
Truck for Adz

Sub: Truck

Play Tobias pretty much only forward in VFL unless we are looking at giving him CBAs in AFL.

This would be mine, only question Marra or Darcy depending on how the former is travelling.

We can't have both kids in atm.

[Axe Man]

I keep seeing people dropping Keath, can I ask what the knock is on him this season? I've been at both games so perhaps I've missed some things but I thought he has been ok and moving much better than last year.
