[naraku]

Why Ham ?

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Shiel out, Ham in. There is no God.

 

[carloss]

I didn't want to win anyway....

 

[JT_the_Man]

Why Ham ?

Ask Truck?

 

[naraku]

Ask Truck?

Can you ? He won't take my calls

But seriously, I know it's mid for mid but I would rather give Baldwin another game or boost Tex from emergency list.

 

[VelvetSledge]

I’m just gonna assume we’re tanking and cheer for Brisbane to kick a ton on us to secure a number one pick

 

[thaibomber]

Why not give Hobbs a run or the big fella Voss Or Mcdonagh.... OR MICKEY FRIGGIN MOUSE, just not ham.

 

[MiguelM]

Hope they play Ham wing and Cox CHF with a roaming Francis.

 

[Learntopray]

All of you just wait, Prosciutto will teach you his worth.
He'll give you a vintage 12 possessions and 1 tackle and you will love it.

He tastes good in my baguette, that’s about all

 

[Seb78]

Would've liked to have seen Hobbs in. Not that we need a strong body, hard in the contest type of player.

Anthony Munkara,.come on down!

 

[TheGrizz]

Why Ham ?

Because he was an emergency

 

[Vindicater]

So Midfielder out and wing in?

What the ****. Bring Hobbs in.

 

[eth-dog]

Because he was an emergency

So Midfielder out and wing in?

What the fu**. Bring Hobbs in.

 

[eDPS]

Tex Wanganeen the only emergency not listed to play VFL

 

[Lore]

Tex Wanganeen the only emergency not listed to play VFL

Debut as the sub?

 

[TheGrizz]

So Midfielder out and wing in?

What the fu**. Bring Hobbs in.

Or........

Shiel out, Stringer in to cover centre bounces, rest of mids and Stringer share Shiels midfield minutes

Ham covers Wing/half forward minutes Shiel would play when not in midfield. It doesn't have to be a direct substitute.

 

[andleanback]

Debut as the sub?

They would have marketed his debut by now

 

[JayJ20]

Poor choice by Rutten. Shiel should have been replaced by a ball winner. Would have been a good time to debut Hobbs, though he wasn’t listed as an emergency.

Looks like another large deficit in contested ball/clearances.

 

[JT_the_Man]

There is surely no way we debut Tex Wanganeen as a sub?

Our midfield worked great last year with mcmerrish, and when we had less players to roll through there and let our guys spend a majority of time on ball. Tomorrow we have parish, merrett, stringer, Mcgrath Caldwell. That’s plenty for an onball rotation.

** oh and perk

It didn’t work well against the good teams, hence why we were 1-9 vs top 8 teams.

Centre bounces were fine mainly because of Stringer, but we were ordinary around stoppages.

That’s not got nothing to do with another midfielder, that’s just the way we got bullied at the contest. Shiel ain’t fixing that. And we more than competed against the dogs (r21) , the dees and Sydney both times and gws.
