Teams Round 22 v Port

[Rocco Jones]

Re: Teams Round 22 v Port

Haha. Thought of you when I read the team selection.

Do you think it means Barlow has to play?

Awww, so sweet.

Yep but I believe he proves his worth as a runner anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want Roughy as 1st ruck because I really rate him highly. It's because I don't see the #1 role as being necceassairly harder than the #2 role. I think Roughy suits the #1 role more. IMO Roughy is very much overrated as a forward and really is a liability in the same forwad line as Hall and Jones. It's the perfect timing as Port's ruck div are inexperienced and state league quality.

Barlow looks the main option as back up but Cordy and Jones can do it as well if match ups suit.

I would probably have Roughy with reduced time in the ruck compared to Hudson with a bit more time up forward just to rest him up.

Changing of the guard.

Re: Teams Round 22 v Port

Vez, Stack, DJ and Barlow for mine.

DJ and Stack simply don't deserve to be dropped.

We need Barlow for ruck cover and he is in our best 22 IMO anyway.

Vez gets in ahead of Grant.

Rest Shaggy. We 'need' for the Hawks.

Re: Teams Round 22 v Port

Watching the team announcement video, it seems Barlow is little chance of playing if that's accurate. Vez and Grant might be fighting for one spot at best too.

Regards talls, if that's the case, we'd have to play Markovic on Schulz and Cordy on Westhoff, meaning Hargrave will probably have to take Butcher. Was actually pretty impressed with the way Butcher presented at the ball last week on debut and Hargrave can drop off his man at times so I'd be instructing him to keep tight.

Nah but Dahlhaus is!

Re: Teams Round 22 v Port

Refreshing to see Roughy as the number 1 ruck, let's look to the future and also see if Grant can make full forward his position, perhaps alternating with Hall

Re: Teams Round 22 v Port

Love this. I see Roughy as a 1st ruck rather than a 2nd ruck. The game has well and truly moved on from the days where you had to prove yourself as a back up first. They are very different roles.

I think all of us feel the same, but even in the secondary role he hasn't shown enough to warrant a promotion to the no.1 role.

I guess he gets a chance against another rookie this week, but I would hate to think how badly a more experienced ruck would work him over.

Like Brogan, perhaps?

I just assumed Mantis was suggesting Cordy to go with Brogan when he takes his turn in the ruck.

I'm a Will Minson fan.... not happy to see him missing out on a game again.

Re: Teams Round 22 v Port

Hudson omitted? Harsh!

I would say this is reflective of the opinion of the MC when it comes to 2012.

Re: Teams Round 22 v Port

Will there be more then 15,000 people there?


And how many have actually paid?

I've been offered more free tickets then a St Kilda parking inspector this week.

I didn't even look at their team and assumed Lobbe was playing as no.1 ruck like he has done for the last 6 to 10 weeks.

Looks like his career here may be over.
