For our sake and his, I hope he plays well and grabs this opportunity.

Happens with every team. West kicked 4 against Freo a few weeks ago, Keays kicked 4 against the lions earlier this season. We just think it happens more often to us for some reason

Been happening since John Georgiadis

 

[JJBagger]

Marchy must have been born under a ladder. Can’t catch a break

Keays kicked 5 last night and I think I heard that he has kicked 12 over the past few weeks, these players pop up regularly against different clubs. I remember Beaumont kicking 9 in a half against Collingwood, never went close to doing it again.

We only notice when it happens against us.

 

[Gw2_James]

If he's not injured, hes sick. Again he only managed one game. Surely enough is enough..

"An Illness"

 

[BigFrizz36]

Both. Voss mentioned that Durdin was sore but would play if he made it through training. Track watchers reported he struggled and didn't make it through.

Durdin has been elevated into the team with Marchbank a late out.

 

[JJBagger]

"An Illness"

Knowing Marchy’s luck, probably leprosy

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Well this is Big D's opportunity to be that big defender we all recognise we need, he may have been under our nose for two years, a little bit like the throw at the stumps that Jones was....

 

[katmanblue]

"An Illness"

We can rule out leather poisoning.

I’m so happy to see Big Durds in to see how he goes at AFL level in our structure, hope he can win some one on ones and build!

Go well Nige

Harsh…funny but harsh.

 

[Blue By Blood]

Durdin struggles to make it through training according to track watchers and is now in the team. That’s a hell of a risk to take when we’re only going in with the 2 tall defenders.

And.. Kemp now an emergency. He was dropped to find form at VFL level and yet still may play regardless. That reiterates two things..
a) It stinks of mixed messaging and must be confusing to the players
b) It shows we are wafer thin in viable defensive talls and however we achieve it, we have to address this at the end of the year. All of Young, Durdin and Marchy probably have to go but how do we replace them all with a lack of currency and no viable trade targets?

Either way.. we have to win and find some form. Need to rediscover our mojo and that balance between attack and defend.

 

[Blue Reaper]

Really keen to see what Big Durdin can bring.

But I also thought he didn’t get through final training?

 

[Red_man2008]

Interesting that he didn’t get through training and is still preferred to young and kemp getting a reprieve

It’s only mixed messaging and confusing to players if they don’t talk to the players…. And there’s no evidence of that

 

[Coops93]

Failed to get through training.

Apparently didn't matter.

I'd suggest we were playing funny buggers with selection and that this was always going to happen.

Yep 100% - the Teague days are well behind us

 

[JJBagger]

Yep 100% - the Teague days are well behind us

Yep, heard some horror stories (both first and second hand), about communication during the Teague years

 

[TENACIOUS]

I don’t feel confident at all in this game…

Why would anyone drop Kemp for Kennedy in defence Kemp would have been the perfect matchup for Zurhaar…

If our midfield brings the form of the last 2 weeks, we could get rolled..

Blues by only 20 points…
