Loved Voss comments when he was asking about Walsh.... offftt his face was scary!

Yes Vossy

 

[xDQ82x]

Cez playing.
Hewitt sub
Durds out

 

[Kruezing]

Yes Vossy

So BT is gonna front up or what ? Lol

 

[David Sylvian]

Giving loyalty, demands loyalty, would run thru brick walls for this bloke.

 

[skadoosh]

Voss already mentioned in his presser today that Cerra is playing.

Squad named yesterday has Durdin omitted.

Thoughts on his info about Hewett being sub?

 

[Sam The Doc]

Cez playing.
Hewitt sub
Durds out

Atleast Hewett isn't sub

 

[BigFrizz36]

Watched Marchy the last couple of weeks and he has been bog ordinary. No way in hell will he be picked ahead of Kemp, unless Kemp is too sore to play.

Thought Marchbank was rusty two weeks back but pretty good last week. Most on the reserves thread thought similar.

I doubt very much whether he is playing in the 1's this week but the more continuity he gets the better he will be if/when he gets called up.

 

[Bryce Bubbles]

Yes Vossy

Love that from vossy! A bit of agro is good to see!

 

[BigFrizz36]

As expected. Loving the continuity with the minimal changes at the moment. Hard team to play yourself into at the moment. Most teams would have our three emergencies as very important key first 18 players.

Hoping Pitt is happy enough to stick around...But guessing he will get knocks at the door now..

Can someone please explain this to me? I am struggling to comprehend what is going on here. And each week our injury list gets smaller it gets harder to fathom.

The only near-logical explanation I have read on here is that Orazio is playing as a high half-forward. Durdin/Motts can't play that role and we're waiting for Cottrell/Martin to replace him.

But given that Orazio is averaging 0.2 goals per game and contributing little else surely we would look at other options instead of like-for-like replacements only?

Fogarty doesn't kick goals but his role as a defensive forward is obvious as is his value. After 11 tries I still do not understand what role Orazio is doing.

Surely we can't get away with having two non-goal-kicking forwards against good teams. But we've played top 4 sides the last 4 weeks and averaging 111 ppg so maybe we can.

Maybe I just don't like Orazio. He did play for Essendon...

Don't tell anyone, but I heard he is the son of Voss.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Don't tell anyone, but stats are no9t the only thing reviewed by the match committee. He deserves his spot moreso than Durdin right now

Another week, another Orazio Fantasia selection.

I reckon that I've seen 10 people literally tell you that Orazio is playing high half forward pushing into defence (as in Cottrell's role). Still every week you act bewildered and rattle off how many goals that he's kicked.

It would appear that Vossy and the MC is happy with how he's performing . It looks like you are starting to recognise it. He'll come under pressure as players return but to me he has gone from below average to average in the last month or so. Maybe there's more improvement in him yet.

Oh, you can tell people that.

 

[heatleystandend]

It is ridiculous the amount of negativity thrown at Fantasia. It is like supporters are not happy if there is not a whipping boy.

[Sam The Doc]

It is ridiculous the amount of negativity thrown at Fantasia. It is like supporters are not happy if there is not a whipping boy.

when he does have the ball, it's usually pretty useful. That kick to Cincotta was perfect last week. I50 work is pretty solid.

 

[Blue since 72]

Cez playing.
Hewitt sub
Durds out

I guess a bit of a rest for George and they want to keep Fanta's nouse in the forward line.

If Mots puts in a good one Fanta could be gone nest week.

So.. same time next week?
