i think I did ha ha. I shall clarify.

My thoughts are Rocky be named, given til last minute, but wont come up, so changes come sat night will be atley and pittard for Rocky and Houston.

That being the case, the only change named tonight Pittard for Houston.....

we shall see
I'll be happy with all of this.
 
Rocky to play deep forward ala Dangerfield when he got injured and replace Wingard who will go into the middle and **** shit up with Gray.

Well Jack Hombsch has just announced he is in.

Fittest he's looked in some time. Biggest knock is his speed - really happy to see him get another game because his career is on a knifes edge.
 
so SPP wont be selected and made to play sanfl!

How does this even work?

Is this a provisional suspension? Which isn't really because he's still eligible to play organised ball? What is going on?

If he’s playing SANFL it’d be on form, not due to a suspension. A suspension would rule him out from all comps.

Honestly not the worst thing in the world for SPP to play a bit of SANFL. What better possible reality check for how lucky he is to be an AFL footballer could there be than having to play an SANFL game.

SPP has never played for the Magpies which is extraordinary in itself. Not a bad move imo.

I think that’d leave Ollie as the only bloke we’ve drafted since 2013 who’s never played a game for them.
 
Love Hombsch.

Does this mean CLurey is out or Houston? They are not tall forward other than Hawkins

Hopefully both and Pittard is in as well.

Except the Magpies don't play until Wednesday, is that right? if that is the case there's no way he plays Wednesday and then fronts up against North Melbourne a few days later. I'd be resting him from all football this week.

Hombsch comes in as cover for Howard going into ruck and Clurey stays in, surely. Clurey has too many brownie points to be dropped after one poor game when he was asked to carry too much of the defensive load.

If the AFL investigation is done and dusted then that rationale is fine, but if he's still facing a suspension as has been rumoured, just dropping him to the SANFL as a partial preemptive strike won't count as the extra missed week as he's played a game of organised ball.

Then there's the logistical issue of the Magpies playing midweek, etc.

Shamozzle.

IMO this is the clearest indication yet that the coaches made a mistake when they decided to play Howard in ruck without replacing his role in defence.

At least they're grown up enough to do something about it.

Has had a heap more opportunities than Atley despite being taken in the same draft. Last year you could say it was justified, not so much anymore.

Like playing Trengrove in the ruck?
 
I'd play SPP if available ahead of Atley

Atley ahead of Trengove though I don't want him anywhere near the AFL team
