Next week...

In: Kreuzer, Lang

Week after...

In: Cuningham, Williamson

Stocker?

 

[Mr_Plow]

Stocker?

Week after that:

In: Stocker, Macreadie



We'll need to stagger the ins to build some continuity within the team.

Side starts to look better and better. Expect some improvement if that happens

Stocker and Macreadie aren't in my best 22. They will be next year, though, with Simpson and Thomas dropping out.

The conversation is ready to move to best 30.....you little ripper.

Not yet but I expect them to get games. Names like Stocker Macreadie TDK Williamson get 10 plus game this year that would be great

Nice to see some depth and options

 

[Mr_Plow]

I feel the same way.

Gibbons screamed to me of someone trying to make good at all cost and that sounds fine on face value, until you see that ego and not 'team' may be at the forefront of his thoughts.
Now that shouldn't be a slight on a player that's waited several years for the opportunity to show his wares on the bigger stage, but for now and from what I saw through the pre-season, Polson came across as the better team-first man to me.....to me.

Reckon Polson would actually do better without Gibbons and probably vice-versa.

Agree, can see selfishness creeping into his game, team doesn't need that atm.

Don't see a role for him when others return.

Whilst interested to see stocker play I hope that he is held back and only picked after he bangs down the door with 2-3 good games in the VFL. The kid will be under added pressure knowing the deal that was done that allowed him to drafted by us, so waiting until he is showing good form might help to reduce the pressure on him a little for that first game.
On the other hand playing him in the same round that the crows dropped Gibbs would be a nice troll to to them.

 

[Espio]

Please keep Polsen in. He will be worth it in the end. Gibbons is end of the world cover

Wouldn't put Williamson in that group, he is clear best 22. Nonetheless, the players returning from injury have me buzzing atm.

 

[Soapy V]

We will probably take 2 emergencies so they will miss VFL. Disappointing

Missed a lot of football. Patience. 10 plus games and staying fit and I’m happy

I call this total nonsense

Nah, just needs to grab his chance at the dream job. Pressure is with the club to win games as a justification for the trade.

Win games to justify the trade? It's not how it works

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Brought a tear to my eye -

I don’t see Jake and Elwood any longer. I see JAB.

They are aiming at 15 games for Williamson.

Of course it is, finishing positions this year quantify the value of the deal. And yes I've heard the lines about where we rated him, we were going to trade it anyway etc.

10 plus fits that criteria doesn’t it?

 

[TooBlue14]

So you’re not sure now. I’ll wait for the update. We kicked ten goals. Murph was directly involved in four. He had the ball plenty of times and played well.

Nah I’m sure. While watching love he pulled out of contests and handball when he was under pressure as he looked scared to take possession. I’ll watch the replay to confirm. I couldn’t care less how many scoring plays he was involved in. He looked soft in the last quarter.

 

[Doro]

Emojis don't convince people of anything

 

[Arr0w]

Don't think Stocker will be in the final side, if Kennedy comes back in..
