Now definitely getting the feels;

In: Lord, Young, C.Durdin, Fantasia, Carrol, Binns

for the 6 outs.

Lord sub (if no injuries, not used unless we have a big lead with 5 to go or are getting thumped).

Where’s Binns ffs

Not actually a debut

 

[jj1978]

Lord debuting this week, probably be made sub

Where’s Binns ffs


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Binns has "debuted" so no announcement on that needed.

 

[SolGoodman]

Binns isn't a debut. Just needs to be selected and I expect he will be

Odds on we have like 8-9 ins for tomorrow’s extended squad

 

[Stamos]

Where’s Binns ffs

?

 

[Prem17]

Great to see that Lord will make his debut.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Where’s Binns ffs

[TBellicious]

Great news. Go on Lord

 

[DirtyLeeds]

People keep adding Little Durdin but isn't he injured??

 

[Prem17]

It's only my opinion but I this young man strikes me as the kind of guy that will give everything for the club that gave him the chance.

Up until MSD I really had no idea who Cooper Lord was. When he was picked I was surprised. I thought we would pick Liam McMahon

Everything I have seen since has been impressive. Seen him up close at games and just works and is a really nice likeable kid. He's a tough nut that will tackle and chase but his ball use is very good. He hits targets

IMO a great pick by Austin & Co. I have no doubt he will step up.

Just please Voss, play him in the middle where he belongs

Played limited game in the VFL last week

 

[carlton_99]

Wonder if they’re planning an announcement a day or Cooper is the only “confirmed” debut so far.

Yeh this would be my question as well

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Woweeeee

I am looking forward to the injection of youth, though

 

[Accidental genius]

I'm looking forward to Lords debut game.

Good luck young man.

Pfft, he’ll be the sub and you know it…

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

I can confirm I just had a call from Vossy, believe it or not! He asked if I'm available on Sunday.. I said "I doubt I'd last 5 mins, but sure!" He said I'd fit right in.

Just spoke to him myself. He asked me, how would you describe yourself as a player?

I answered, can't kick, can't mark and can't tackle.

He came back with, No problems, we will play you as sub and hope like hell we will not need you.

Brett Ratten started in back pocket. Just saying.

because that's where he played in the 2s and earned his spot

Gap between 1st and 2nd is bigger than the gap between 2nd and last - crazy stuff

 

[GT619]

I know it’s the VFL, but Power on the surface seems a lot more adventurous than Vossy tactically.

that's how lukey played in his day. energetic

deserved it , earned it

 

[swuzzlebubble]

When we travel to Perth we take at least two, sometimes three emergencies with us

This might influence if Durdin and/or Fantasia play because no point taking them over as emergency if they are needing game time

As did Wayne Harmes.
