Past #1: Hamish McIntosh - drafted at pick 9 in '02 ND - traded to Geelong for #36 in '12 trade period

Good article. I'm feeling more confident about Hamish's progress now that he is dominating games at AFL. I heard heaps of raps for him in his first year about being superbly talented, but never heard of his performances in the VFL. Good to see he is backing up that talent with dominant VFL performances to really deserve his position when he finally does get it. Go H!!

There will be one late change:
OUT: Petrie
IN: McIntosh

You heard it first!

Is this fact or wishful thinking?

Reliable source mate.

Laidley is leaving it to the last minute, (drewy's bruising still not too good - has trouble running) H is likely to play today, if not definately next week.

No late change for us.

Best of luck to Hamish

Petrie injured early in the game, should've put Hamish in, hope it's not too serious.

 

[scottywiper]

As expected, Hamish and Brady in for Blake and Drew, both injured.

Watson, SMITH and Baird named as emergencies.

Excellent news. Hopefully Drew is not rushed back in and is given plenty of time to get his injury right and some form up for Port. In the mean time, give Hamish a few weeks to settle in and make his mark.

 

[RoosLuver]

Great news for Hamish, wishes to Blake & Drew for speedy recoveries!.

 

[speedy]

I know we are all happy to see Big H in, but the team looked more balanced with Drew at CHF. Can we have both Rocca & H in the same forward line? Hale & McIntosh will end up spliting game time.

Great to see JWS in the emergencies.

Now where is Trotter?

 

[Harry is a gun]

Bout time. Hope Drew has to fightto get his possie back, and Hamsih has a blinder

 

[scooby1279]

good stuff hamish, now we just have ot win the game lol.

 

[viccles]

Won't happen but it would be the best thing ever if JWS came in as well

 

[magoo]

Great to see another youngster getting a game.

BTW to those who have been watching the magoos regularily, has Hamish been dominating games in the same way that petrie (of for that matter watt or hale) did before they got a regular senior call-up?

Mmmmm.... Smiiiiiiith

If McIntosh has a very good game will he be dropped for Petrie the following week?

I sure hope he doesn't get dropped!

Drew's had fairly limited game time this year, including two games (Sydney, Hawthorn) where injuries restricted him to less than 20 minutes.

I'd say one game out, and at least one (possibly two) games back in the VFL is a safe ground between giving McIntosh a chance to impress, Petrie a chance to get game time, and not embarrassing Petrie with an extended run in the VFL.

I can't recall the last youngster Laidley has given huge gametime to, on debut or in his first 3-4 games, something which always gives the selectors a chance to drop the youngsetr back to the VFL.

I think Drew's been pretty decent this year, and Laidley's comment that he wouldn't "rest" Drew just to give Hamish a run, probably indicated he's happy with Drew's form this year. In the article I read he seemed very keen for Drew to get up and play against the Crows.

Congratulations to the kid on making his debut.

I'm very jealous of the Adelaide based Roo fans who will get to see his debut live. When he gets his first touch (and hopefully, first goal), give him a massive cheer on behalf of all of us Victorian Roos fans.

 

[roogirl_416]

i'll make sure that i do shinboners! i cant wait it should be a killer game

*go roos*

 

[tashibatts]

Congrats Hamish.. been a long time coming

Hope he stars...

Welcome back Brady.

Very good to see JWS in the emgs- really didn't expect him to be pushing so early, but am extremely pleased he is.

Go Roos
