how the **** does power still get a game. and thomas!!!!!!!!!!!

grrr

 

[Roosurgence]

What a step backwards!

Shannon Watt has proven he is a hack, at least give Grima the chance to prove himself.

What was the point of elevating Grima? If he can't get a game in front of Watt, I can't see much of a future for him, well at our club anyway?!?!?

 

[giantroo]

We aren't going anywhere anytime soon...

 

[Roos4eva]

Oh my ****ing god.

I have no issues with Harris coming in.

Watt, meh, not as bad as Power and Thomas staying in.

The only two outs from that match are injuries, far out.

Where the **** is Ross?

****.

 

[hellas_johnny]

its coz of his experience. Grima would get absoloutly mutilated against collingwoods forward line, just get over it! He's in end of story!

 

[silkykanga]

Having a mates goin away party tomorrow night and deciding i wouldnt go to the footy was sort of a hard choice because i'll spew if im not there and we beat Collingwood
But after the changes im glad im not going and i tell you what if ross doesnt play i probably wont go to another game of football this year until power and thomas are dropped

Laidley cant be serious can he! What a joke this has become!

hahahahaha Shannon Watt OMG i cant believe what im reading!!!

 

[gokangas]

On the back of one of the most disgraceful efforts by a NMFC team this decade NOT ONE SINGLE PLAYER IS DROPPED! They have to be kidding!

 

[75-77-96-99]

what the

no ross or grima

been a member since 1977 and been though the highs and lows. not too see more changes is a disgrace.

thats it for me.

was looking forward too see a couple of new faces and for us too drop power and thomas.

ross must be a shattered kid atm...............

pies by 10 or more goals

 

[Moti]

Grima just hasn't had the game time yet. Watt has played well so he is in.

Great to see Harro back.

Lower and Thomas are extremely lucky.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

I said on the other thread that there are quite a few trhere who must be on last chances. After last week - in fact the past several weeks - to have no player dropped on form is quite extraordinarily forgiving of the match committee. Hope they all appreciate the favour and grab it with both hands.

Don't mind the ins, but I'm sure I'm in the minority - we are short on options. But when I think what we have missing now, it's more than worrying.

Hope all the guys picked this week appreciate the favour and grab the chance with both hands.

Ditto.

Selectors absolutely squibbed it.

 

[NMFC ALWAYS]

its coz of his experience. Grima would get absoloutly mutilated against collingwoods forward line, just get over it! He's in end of story!

No different to Watt being mauled over and over again

Geeez i hope Leroy and Watt match up at some stage during the night

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Grima and Delaney have shown so much more than Watt in the VFL so far. Giving one of those younger guys a chance to shine on the big friday night stage would be excellent for the club. But instead we opt for watt. He has proved already that he is a hack. Ben Ross not getting game is crap, we really needed his speed.

Good to see Harris back though. Hopefully he and swallow combine and win most of the ball of of the centre.

 

[Zondor]

how the **** does power still get a game. and thomas!!!!!!!!!!!

grrr

Why Ross wasn't brought in for Power is beyond me.

Fricken Laidley but you knew it. You just knew it.

Watt would come in and Power would remain in the side.

And Thomas is also very lucky.

In all seriousness....

 

[Devil Fish]

Im happy to see Watt back in - we've just got to play the kids. We never know how good Watt could be unless we give him a chance.

IMO - as long as Power & Watt play this year, Laidley is telling me he is not a coaches sphincter.

 

[r_boy]

It took 5+ years for us to realise Brown was crap. How long is it going to take with Power?

 

[gokangas]

The truth may lay in the emergencies.

 

[Biggie_]

OOOOHHHH FFS!!!

how the hell can power and LT still be in the side after last week.
does Ross have to have 40 tounches and kick 10 goals to get a call up.

i was kinda looking forward to seeing some new faces this week aswell.
but now... ****!!!!

 

[Flawed Genius]

Shit.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Lindsay Thomas should buy a lottery ticket.

 

[giantroo]

What's the pies paying for over 39.5?

 

[r_boy]

I thought the door was ajar for fresh faces? What a load of crap.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

When the last nail goes into Dean's coffin....he'll say Watt?

Talk about digging you own grave.

When are we going to hear the "youth" policy Terry Wallet spin from Dean or was that earlier on in the week?

As long as Watt is mandated to play on Leroy Brown, I will enjoy this week's episode of Keystone Cops.

Jar Jar Binks aka Power will probably tag Swan. Funnily enough wikipedia in relation to Jar Jar says that "The character was widely rejected and often ridiculed by sections of the series' hardcore fanbase."

Good to see Maxwell in. Now Thomas might really get hit and still get no free.

 

[Crazy Horse]

So I guess this means our forward line is fine, we just need to fix up our clearances and shore up the defence.

**** me
