Re: Round 10 Team

I hope the MC have had a good hard think this week and the boys don't get flogged or possibly win?

Might be the time to take up drinking again......................

Good luck Howard.

Re: Round 10 Team

I don't understand how we can have Boyd, Cross, Libba, Ward, Picken, Wallis in the team & then Moles and Reid on the bench, that's some serious lack of pace.

Add to that, Gia and Higgins in the forward line.

I totally agree, we have too many slow inside midfielders and slow small forwards like Gia, Higgins and Vez. I know that we don't necessarily have a Stephen Hill or Patrick Dangerfield waiting in the reserves but i think we need to play guys like Dj, Hooper, Stack just for team balance....even though they may not be better players than who we have in the team.

Re: Round 10 Team

Okay so was concussion why his game was so ordinary or was it his groin...or was he just poor...?

Grant going out is good.

Stack going out is good

Gilbee going out is good

Interesting if Huddo plays.

Of course the outs have to be replaced at the revolving door of Hill for Stack doesn't overly appeal.

Williams on Buddy in Lake's absence is a frightening thought.

Williams has done the job well before, i think it was down in Tassie.

That was then, this is now - one swallow doesn't make a summer...

Williams' confidence and form may be less than back then. Also our defence was a more cohesive unit, our mids were applying pressure, and I think Lake was playing and able to help.

In short we were a better team back then, and I don't think Williams is particularly better.

Some boxers have a glass jaw, Shaun has a glass body.

Re: Round 10 Team

I like the selection so far, at least there were some balls behind the decisions. Good luck Howard and I hope Reid plays too.
Grant deservedly has something to think about.
Would love to see Lake and the Coondog but if they aren't fit they can't play.

Winning this game might be a stretch but as long as they put in I will be far happier than last week.

Re: Round 10 Team

I'm impressed that Eade had the balls to drop a senior player (Gilbee)

Why? Gilbee was best on ground against Richmond, and was just gaining form before that, one bad game and he's the scapegoat. I realise people want to see change after such a horror loss, but dropping Gilbee is not an intelligent move.

Having said that, I wish Christian Howard all the best and hope he has a great debut with a few hoofing passes on display.

I love it! He is totally Shaun Higgins.

Re: Round 10 Team

Just dumbfounded! I think we can finally confirm Andrew Hilditch as our new selector.
Franklin to kick 19 30 this week! I like Lukas Markovic,but he doesn't have the aerobic capacity to get near Franklin. We have a 600 grand a year FB wallowing in the 2's.
STAGGERING! One would think you'd put it to Brian and give him the challenge.

That's what Christopher Skase said to Peter Knights about Warwick Capper


PS. Morris will play on Franklin

I agree.

At least we will be able to see if this bloke is up to it or not. For heavens sake, he was a first round draft pick and he performs worse than an elevated rookie.

Re: Round 10 Team

Apologies if i missed something about this on another thread, but i thought that Cooney would only need a week's rest for his knee. Is there anything to suggest that it is worse that first thought?

The first assessment was that he would only miss a week so things must not have gone that well with training this week.

It's been reported that the injury is one that will just need to be managed through the year.
