I wasn't under the impression that you could only name potential outs on the extended bench?

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Why even bring this up?

He loves to play the victim just like a few others around here, that's why.

 

[Tony Barber]

So the 18 named on the field aren't certainties then.
That should cut down on Thursday angst.

No. Cowan and ghs were withdrawn. Whole different ball game.

We had a couple of changes earlier today with Cowan and GHS withdrawn from the side and Bews & Lang bought into the team.

We may have used that as an opportunity to promote guys from the bench to the field and drop some guys like Stanley back to the bench under the idea of "team balance"

 

[GFrost]

No. Cowan and ghs were withdrawn. Whole different ball game.

Yeah I realised that after.

 

[Cronin]

Final changes for Monday:

......Yeah I got nothin.

Go Cats.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Murdoch must be washing Scotts car , doing his shopping and painting his house

Yep, I knew the side that was named didn't make much sense.

 

[Seeds]

MC screws with the big footy board.

no Cowan and back to a one less tall.

 

[cats_09]

Murdoch must be washing Scotts car , doing his shopping and painting his house

Murdoch had a good game in round 1 - play him in that same role this week where he can use his pace to run the wing, and get forward.

Don't ask have him playing a defensive role, give him some freedom to go forward and let's see the impact he can have

 

[bigfarter]

I hope the melters from Thursday are happy with how they expended their energy, haha.

I like Linc but Cocky is an auto-in and it's like for like so I'm okay with the change.

 

[STPer18]

I'M STILL ANGRY!!

 

[ShaunWDT]

Have people learnt not to melt over an extended squad yet?

 

[CatRiot]

You little beauty... Cowan not in. Cocky back in. Smith and Blicavs combo, Stanley out. Murdoch on the bigger ground is ok. I don't mind the selected side.

Bews as Emergency could be a handy last minute change.

Should be a drubbing to the Hawks.

 

[catswhiskers]

I wasn't under the impression that you could only name potential outs on the extended bench?

Just remember. The AFL makes the rules. The AFL allows the rule to be bent every now and again. This is one of those.

The two first round picks in 4 years being a second example.

The fact a regional mob are doing OK, even though the engine room boys are capital city types, is delicious.

 

[longtimecat]

I'm pleased with that team, only one change sounds about right, and giving the kids games early in the season is great.

 

[FredLeDeux]

Have people learnt not to melt over an extended squad yet?

You will have your answer next Thursday, when we have one for the Sunday game.
When Cowan will come back in.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

#getguthrieback drop Ruggles and bring in Lang and I'd be happy with the team.

We should still win pretty easily anyway though.

 

[cats2rise]

I think people's main issue is neither stanley or cowan should be in the 18 ahead of any of the 7 on the bench (well maybe ahead of murdoch but that's pretty borderline).

It was named 5 days before our game.

Overreacting, much? How many are going to take back their "the M.C is stupid" etc etc. Talk about going early...

 

[AM]

Murdoch must be washing Scotts car , doing his shopping and painting his house

No! He does have pictures though.

 

[you pick one]

No Stanley,Harry back at CHF game won at selection.Cats to kick their highest score so far for the year.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

I'M STILL ANGRY!!

Why?
