how are we going to cover the absence of Tarrant and possibly Pebbles as well? :(

im starting to get pretty damn concerned about our ability to score enough to beat melbourne and sydney over the next few weeks guys :/

i wonder if cam cloke can ruck the game with guy and have josh up forward the whole game? maybe rotate cam and josh?

burnsy put up forward? if we have burns, didak and davis up forward thats a pretty damn small forward line

i eagerly await confirmation on pebble's playing chances and seeing the team on thursday

what are you guys thinkin?
 
Obvious thing would be Fraser up forward. I think Bk will come in, I also think that Rocca will be named and the withdrawn on Sunday or Saturday.
I think we will be fine if Fraser, Davis and Didak fire or if it rains CARN THE rain, let there be rain on monday and lots of it.

Cam is up to playing an 'above average' role at CHF, but a dominant role is beyond him (not having a dig at Cam at all - he's progressed fantastically).

BK?? Well he'll probably come in, but only by default.

I dare say if Billy boy could hold the bloody pill for long enough, this would be his chance.


But if you don't perform, you don't get a chance - can't argue with that.

So we'd have to be looking at:

IN: Presti, Buckley, Kinnear
OUT: Tarrant, Rocca, Maxwell

(Dutch will play Willy methinks).
 
I think Dutchy will play in the magoos too, i also think that Buckley may go forward. C.Cloke is most certainly and option. I think that your right BK will come in by default once again, or maybe Walker will get in before Bk...
 
yeah forgot about kinnear - good point, be awesome to have him come in and have an impact

but guys!

the rain?!?! you want rain? after the Dees beat freo in hurricane like conditions :eek: i dunno if it would help us, i would like to think it would but it could backfire...

...what we HAVE to do is limit their opening quarter.

look at the game vs adelaide - they got 5 goals to our 1 for the first and we had to play catch up and hold off footy to win

vs kangas was similar as the roos got a few goals up on us and thank christ we were able to get a couple of late majors

last week vs eagles it was a similar situation to the roos game, our midfield was pummelled and we were a few goals down very early, and once again thank christ we got some before quarter time

now i think my point is that it feels like we let teams get a head start and then we have to catch them. if WE get the headstart i will think we should do pretty damn well. add rain to a headstart and our odds look good

so i HOPE to god that we can match it with them and be ahead by a few at quarter time :)
 
I think you will find that Presti & Tex will come in (Sorry BK lovers but it just ain;t gonna happen - he hasnt shown the form in the Magoos) Buckley won't come back either - they will give him the extra 2 weeks - there is no way he will be risked this week. Not a chance that Maxwell will be dropped - he has been great - put his head over the ball and been a tough contributor down back! Dutchy may have to start in the Magoos I think! Pebbles will probably play with Fraz, Stretch & Cam swapping forward and ruck!

Andrew Williams for FF!

Um, on a serious note .. our forward line could look like this:

Burns C Cloke Lockyer
Didak Fraser Davis

With Swan, Richards, Buckley, Walker, etc rotating through & playing in other positions.

Who knows. Stranger things have happened
 
IN: presti holland bucks walker
Out: rocca tarrant maxwell swan

thats for mine anyway, hoping tarrant gets off at appeal, no need to risk rocca, only if tarrant doesnt play
hopefully bucks is right, holland straight back in
walker deserves a crack
maxwell and swan squeezed out only because of who is coming in
 
Ooh, Ben Kinnear could be coming back for game no. 51

If Ben Kinnear is in town, then so is the BK Army.

In: Kinnear:D Buckley:cool: Prestigiacomo:) Holland:rolleyes:
Out: Rocca:( Tarrant:mad: Maxwell, Swan:(
