Good luck to the Sherminator.

Re: Team - Round 2

Thing is that Will and Roughy are are ruck combo for the future so we need to keep him.
Don't know how much longer Huddo has in him.

Anyone know Minson's contract status? Would he be willing to wait out Huddo?

I really feel bad for Will right now, he's been dealt a real shitty hand with the AFL's awful rule changes. Don't get me wrong I'm happy to see Roughy in but I've been a big fan of Will over the years and it sucks that the AFL have made his role and others like his obsolete.

Was mentioned earlier in the thread that he's contracted to the end of 2012.

A Minson/Roughead combo I'd imagine would be the Dogs ruck setup after this year. All things being equal, I'd regard that as a decent setup.

He's contracted until 2012, so unless we can trade him, he'll be at the club next year.

Real land of the giants forward line, if we were hoping for improvements in forward pressure, this week wont be the week. The positive is that Brisbane don't really have the half back rebounders to really cut us up like Essendon were able to.

Just on Brisbane; Joel Patfull at full forward? Really?

Used to play forward a bit back in his time at Norwood.

AFL website have Roughead in Wood out. Emergencies Wallis Minson Moles

Regardless of form (Minson by all reports had performed better than Roughy) it tells me that the MC think Huddo and Minson are too similar type players.

That does seem to be the message.

Hopefully Will can keep himself up and about, because Huddo is going to need a few rests this year, and once the season's done, Minson will be our number 1 ruck. Going to be tough for him not playing week in week out though, especially as his form has been pretty solid.

Cordy is a long long way from being proven, I don't think we'd be making too many decisions based on Ayce stepping up just yet.

That is what I meant. If Cordy does well this year then Minson may be on the outer if not then Minson will probably get a coulple of years more on his contract.

Of course Cordy would have to play seniors for Minson to be on the trade list.

Unfortunately Cordy has put on weight and is not as agile and athletic as he was. He has a long way to go and his injuries have not helped him. He needs a good run at Willi Seniors and perhaps in the secoind half may get a game.

Any chance there will be a late change or two for us?

Wouldn't be surprised to see Wallis come in late, couldn't think of anyone under an injury cloud though. Griffen perhaps?

Do you know something or are you just putting it out there?

I guess we will know more after the Willi game tonight, but I would suspect that they would hold one back to be safe anyway.

A bit of both.
I'm told a couple of players looked very proppy yesterday.
