What are they paying for 39 plus?

Jump on.

 

[agro]

Lord must play

When you’ve only got 23 for players then he should - but we may be giving a few players farewell games in the next two weeks.

 

[Opium]

What are they paying for 39 plus?

$10

 

[yibbida]

but knowing us lately, it will be unconvincing and hard fought.

That is our gamestyle. We try play "finals" like style for 24 rounds of the year. We need to find an "easier" gamestyle.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

What are they paying for 39 plus?

$10.00. 40plus
$5.20. 25plus

With Harry also a likely out, I've had to change my mind about the ruck. It's a bridge too far to have Mirkov rucking without Harry as a backup.

Out: Martin, Boyd, Fogarty, Curnow, McKay, Williams, Saad (still can't believe we had at least 7 injuries from one game - that's crazy)

In: Young/Lemmey, Wilson, J Carroll, Binns, Marchbank, Lord, Moir

B: Cowan Weitering Marchbank
HB: Newman Kemp Cincotta
C: O Hollands Cripps Acres
HF: E Hollands McGovern Moir
F: Motlop Young/Lemmey Owies
Foll: Pittonet Kennedy Walsh

Int: Wilson Hewett Lord J Carroll
Sub: Binns

I'm in a quandry about the second ruck. I'd prefer Lemmey up forward over Young, but not so much as a second ruck. Kennedy can potentially play the Grigg role again, as we have 3 extractors on the bench and play forward as well. I hope we don't choose to go small down back as JGov will kill us.

MGov is the only option to go forward for mine, and since Marchbank was only under concussion protocols, he should be right to go, but I have zero faith in that. If Marchbank doesn't get up, Young definitely comes in but plays back.

Wilson is our 7th defender. Cincotta plays a role down back.

Acres is on call to go back or forward as needed.

Williams

Was he injured?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Was he injured?

Wasn't he? Maybe I just assumed. LOL

If he's fine, then he stays in for Moir.

I was visiting my Dad from some time in the 3rd quarter. I missed some of the injuries.

Think McGovern was the 7th but he did come back on

 

[RAPPA]

If you can’t get a game now with those outs, you’re well and truly on the outer

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Oh, that will be fun.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing some young guys come in, but technically there are enough available to not debut anyone, I think.

If it's 6, then Young, C Durdin, Marchbank, J Carroll, Binns ... okay 1 debutant guaranteed.

And Binns is essentially a second time virgin

 

[Kruezing]

I’m sure he’ll get a mention tomorrow

** Subject to fitness **

I could be crude, but instead I'm just going to say that he only got to second base.

We don't want you anymore but here's a farewell game in front of youngsters we intend to keep. That's not really working for me.

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Desperate times......

Def: Weiters, McGov, Young, Williams, Cincotta, Newman, Cowan

Mids: Mirk, Crippa, Walsh, Chugga, O Hollands, Our Lord, Binns, Blacres

Fwds: Lemmey, Kemp, E Hollands, Moir, Owies, Motlop, George, J Carroll

Ipso Facto: In- Young, Mirkov, Lord, Binns, Moir, Carroll, Lemmey
Out- Charles, H , Saad, Martin, Fogarty, Boyd (all inj), Pittonett (omitted)

Seven changes, six forced!! Charlie simply must not play even if he's tested and passed fit, have to throw the dice here.....

 

[Robertio]

How has the Irishman been going, he has some moves and i wouldn't be against trying him out next week.

There's a few ahead of him including everyone who's available

He is a bit mercurial, could see him playing up forward and scoring very unconventionally.

Probably a soccer goal from the boundary, 35 metres out.

He was a forward over in Ireland and a smaller forward line will change the gameplan a bit, I'm looking forward to it.

Cripps CHF, lemmey FF, Kennedy FP.

Young to ruck (i actually think he's a decent ruck).

I would have thought the perennials deserve a farewell game given all the work they have put in over the years.
