Post here for discussion of the Round 8 teams.

Higgins listed as emergency

 

[Outburst]

cheneeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[C-Dog]

Ch-Ch-Cheney

Hopefully he can impress!

 

[Haydos]

I guess Higgins will be given a fitness test tomorrow afternoon and they will make a late change if he comes up.

Cheney in

Why would Higgins be an emergency. Surely if he's fit he plays.

 

[Bond.ShaneBond]

I know it isn't DT related but Bennel played his best ever game against West Coast. Baffling decision if he doesn't have a niggle.

 

[senrulzisback]

Come on Goodwin, please make it.

 

[Kahuna]

Good to see Cheney back, will help out with the backline problems at the moment. Even more with Hodge out, actually Cheney will probably score better than him.

Eade said Higgins won't play unless he is 100% fit.

It's called tanking.

 

[CrozaN]

yep correct. I guess he is emergancy incase there is a late out and he is forced to play.

Or.....

He is going to have a fitness test tomorrow and if he passes, might come into the side in expence of someone.

 

[kangaroo19]

Eade said Higgins won't play unless he is 100% fit.

But surely they'd name Higgins and list someone else as an emergency if Higgins doesn't pull up ok... That's why it's confusing Higgins isn't named.

 

[LemmingMaster]

I thought the same thing, really liked the game he played.

 

[Haydos]

Doesnt really matter which way round they do it. If he's passed as fit tomorrow afternoon he will come in.

 

[Bond.ShaneBond]

Yeah I agree. We really need to tank against the Bulldogs.

[Audrey_Horne]

Ziebell out? That makes things interesting

 

[Juzz]

Broughton IN - Yay!! 1 less donut

 

[bigman100kg]

Broughton back
Zieball out
No Ablett

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Broughton!

 

[Atavistic]

Broughton and Cheney in really helps.

 

[JuddyBuddy]

FFS, Hodge and now Ziebell?! Is there ever gonna be a weeek when someone in my team doesnt get injured?!!!!!

 

[Biggy_Boy]

With Higgins and Ziebell out, my forward line is stuffed. The only consolation so far is the naming of Broughton.

 

[BarcaRulz]

Hopefully Mitch Brown makes his return with Zeibell out.
