Preview Round 20 vs injectors Sunday 4:40pm at Marvel

[Val Keating]

The rest are out there now. Including Thomas.

 

[Val Keating]

Comben looks really good

 

[Val Keating]

Absent players of note apart from the 4 that have covid are Stevo and LMac

 

[Hojuman]

Comben looks really good

Don't jinx him Val.........

 

[Liam Boy]

Comben looks really good

 

[Val Keating]

Don't jinx him Val.........

Well he’s just playing on his own in the forward line.

It’s just the way he marks the ball. He takes it with arms fully stretched then snatches it into his body. Great technique.

 

[TheBigHorne]

In: Turners.

You know it, I know it, we all know it

Sad but true

 

[Val Keating]

Sad but true

Probably but he was training with the 2nds players if that makes sense.

The first group were all players that are usually in our best 22, the second group were players in development or struggling to get a game.

Side note- watching Thomas train with the second group, his skill level was so far above that he stood out massively.

 

[Moti]

who were the 4 covid players again? CCJ, Curtis?

Yep. Once someone goes through Chemo their immune system is never as strong again.

 

[Val Keating]

The outs are easy

Out CJ, Hall, Perez & Curtis

Ins to come from Larkey, Lazzaro, Turner, Ford, Mahony, Thomas & Comben

I’d like to see in Larkey, Comben & Thomas.

Likely ins Larkey, Lazzaro and Turner

Edit- As GR wrote, Curtis is also out so we’ll have 4 changes.

needs more in Goater

 

[Val Keating]

needs more in Goater

True. He’d fill a need off the back flank.

P.Curtis is an out as well.

 

[Val Keating]

P.Curtis is an out as well.

That’s probably why Mahony was training with the main group.

 

[The Nostradamus]

here’s hoping PC is fine and pulls up with minimal symptoms

 

[shintemaster]

Patch is a goodun. Got the win in his first game to show clarko what the list can do then designs creative ways to tank the rest of the year to get Clarko a good draft haul. Hawthorn in tassy? Don't defend against the breeze. Essendon? COVID outbreak. I look forward to what he comes up with against Sydney.

Typically turning up to the game is sufficient for us to not win those ones.

Not a bad game to bring Comben back in to play. JZ probably needs to skedaddle out of the forward line though to make room...

Yep I reckon bring Comben straight in. Might be Patch's lasting legacy.

My outs would be (forced) Hall, CCJ, Curtis, Perez and also Spicer (omitted).
My ins would be Goater, Larkey, Thomas, Ford and Dawson.

Thomas should play in the vfl for at least a week..l would love to see Comben in but he might be another week away. l think Turner will come in at the expense of Spicer......as well as Goater, Larkey, Ford and Dawson..

AFL R20 injury update: Stars on comeback trail ahead of Bombers battle

Despite being a late exclusion from last weekend’s clash with Hawthorn, Nick Larkey still has some way to go to prove his fitness ahead of this week’s game against Essendon

www.nmfc.com.au

 

[hellas_johnny]

We saw how much we struggled without the 2nd tall walker needs to come in for cj and play fwd just this week. Either him or try mcguinnes there. Can't be going in with just larkey and goldy especially with larkey coming off injury

 

[giantroo]

The Kangaroos will put Larkey through a fitness test on Thursday to determine his availability for Sunday's clash with the Bombers. Cunnington is a chance to return from a long-term absence through the VFL, while Comben and Hayden should also play reserves footy this weekend. Four players, in addition to interim coach Leigh Adams

, are in the AFL's health and safety protocols. They will exit on Sunday, but will have to be passed fit to play after developing COVID-19 symptoms. – Riley Beveridge

 

[DunderHead]

Taz has had a few weeks break. He may need reserves time to regain touch or he may be super fresh and ready to play. Could we throw him back?

We definitely need a couple of tall targets up forward Larkey plus resting ruck may be enough but it would be better to get either Walker or Comben in there.

If they see Comben as the future. Maybe they just play him in the remaining games for the year. Prob not likely given our history but wtf do we have to lose.

Agree it’s time for the Goat
