A bit of a worry if you believe the reports about Houlihan's attitude. I think Yarran is a bit stiff since he has looked all class but I guess they are managing his load. Other than that nothing too surprising

OK... disappointed here, i had a feeling Hadley would be dropped, but i was hoping to replace him with anotha hard nut... aka Ellard who played bloody well in reserves (houlihan is soft and hasnt preformed in reserves)... im a Houlihan fan, but goes beyond me how he got back in the team without performing in VFL level....
Yarran dropped after playing possibly his best game so far... he needs some confidence, should of kept him in... Though Garlett has looked promising in VFL.
Happy with Fisher and O'Halpin, big test for O'Halpin over then enxt 2-3 weeks whether he will still be in our list next year...
Russel STILL IN!!! FAR OUT,, his got a love affair going with the MC i think

 

[Blue Bawls]

This was posted in the pre-match discussion thread, but meh.

 

[blues4flag]

Surprising. Houlihan comes in as I half expected he might though Gartlett for Yarran is out of left field. Probably makes sense as Gartlett is more ready for the level at the moment.

Wiggins/Waite for Fisher/O'hAilpin were the obvious changes and Hadley has been in horrid form of late.

 

[Cruiser23]

Jeffery back in....

But very surprised and disappointed that Yarran was dropped

 

[FRUMPY]

Gartlett a bit of a surprise. Obviously they arnt happy with Yarran's defensive pressure and what a pacier aboriginal forward (in place of Yarran) to stalk the backmen and keep the ball in.

Other ins arnt a surprise. Good to see hoops in, hopefully add a bit of experience and lift the skills coming forward. Like the look of the forward line with fish in it, just looks more potent than wiggins.

What reports are these? from people who dont rate hoops id say. Teague's match report said he had a great attitude and sacrificed his game as he was getting heavily tagged. Sounds like great attitude to me.

 

[Pie_squasher]

Bewildered Garlett is in!!! Doesn't look hard enough for me although same could be said for Yarran....

Where's Grigga?

Edited for unnecessariness.

 

[fnm_just a man]

Happy to have Garlett back...odds are we'll win. 2 out of 3 with him in the team...

 

[Crippa#9]

Can't believe Yarran out and Armfield still in.

Incorrect - he has been terrible and very disinterested at VFL level.

Not saying he isn't up to it (I am actually glad to have him back looking at the alternates), just wish he could've pushed harder whilst in the magoo's

 

[Alpha1]

Obviously Grigg might be in the reserves this week. Need him to get match fit, we need him in the side. His run and carry along with Walker has been missing for us.

 

[andrewcassa]

Yea.. good point.. Grigg left out after an outstanding game in reserves... maybe not fit enough... not risking it yet, give him 1 more match for fitness maybe =\

Well, at least the MC has brought in Fish... how much can one man do in the reserves to earn a recall? Not sure if Hoops deserves the recall though. Got a feeling Yarran is a little stiff, however Garlett must have obviously pressed for selection in the 2's. Yazz might need a rest anyway. Irish up forward as a 3rd tall... interesting to see how well that works.

JR.... boy I don't like ripping on him but he is DEAD SET LUCKY not to have been dropped... 4th interchange two weeks in a row.

 

[CarltonFan]

I'm still not sold on Fisher, but we desperately need to change up the forward-line so i can understand it.

 

[bigman100kg]

Is Scotland injured or out because of form?

Not on the injury list and I thought he was named last week. LAte withdrawl?

 

[Alpha1]

Holla shouldn't be in, hasn't looked interested in the reserves. Seems to have been rewarded for doing nothing, ohh well.

 

[BlueSnake]

I was a little surprised to see Yarran out as well, BUT, I guess the the MC's idea to is to give him tastes of AFL and develop his fitness/get used to the gameplans etc this year.

Still, Garlett (it has no T after the R people!) in surprised me a bit, but I'm not gonna complain. I like the look of him.

I'm glad Hadley is out... he just hasn't been in form at all. Not sure what's going on there, but anyway let's see how he goes in the Ants.

It will be good to see Fish again, I just hope he has a good game (and our forward line in general to work properly).

EDIT: Oh, and I'm really glad to see Browne still in. He's obviously still adjusting to the pace of this level but he has good skills and a surprisingly good overhead mark, and overall I think he could really be a player for us.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Looks pretty good.

Obviously Waite is a huge loss.

From the look of it, will probably stack it with talls up forward,
or could even play a 6 backs/7 mids/5 forwards and go with a bit of run and carry.

Least we have some options.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I thought Scotland missed last week because of a bit of concussion. What is the real problem?

 

[tigris]

Ellard who played bloody well in reserves (houlihan is soft and hasnt preformed in reserves)... im a Houlihan fan, but goes beyond me how he got back in the team without performing in VFL level....

Rumours are he was only in the VFL to serve a club suspension. Ellard can't play until they nominate him, which they can't do until they place Waite on the LTI, which I am guessing takes time and paperwork that can't be done in the short time they had from surgery results on Tuesday.

Where's Grigga?

Needed another week according to Teague

Can't believe Yarran out and Armfield still in.

Army killed against the hawks, and has had many other good games. Yarran has had 1 average game and 2 horrible ones. Get over it.

 

[Bluebear]

Is Scotland injured or out because of form?

Not on the injury list and I thought he was named last week. LAte withdrawl?

Late withdrawal last week with a viral illness. If he has the flu he could miss 2-3 weeks.

I am surprised that Hoops is back in. Doesn't send the right message from an MC point of view IMO.

Garlett for Yarran. Maybe they just wanted to give Yarran a taste, let him know what level he needs to be at, then go back to the two's to work on a few things. Not that upset with it.

Grigg won't have played a full match last week and they'll be looking to increase his TOG. Another good one in the two's should see him in for the Lions game.

Fisher and Setanta - c'mon boys......time to deliver.
