[snrub]

Alan Obst? Don't they need to promote him off the rookie list first?

 

[Carnthe]

Does that mean we have elevated Obst? In which case one would think he will definitely play.Still no love for Ross.

 

[Roos4eva]

Getting a bad feeling about Ross.

Oh, and Gav cops the reverse Hales treatment.

 

[Shinboner Schem]

am looking forward to seeing how Lower and Edwards perform.

Edwards playing for his supper

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Looks like we're trying a few things, might drop Goldstein for some more run through the middle maybe? he would definately get smashed by the saints defense. Seeing Power is in the extended bench, would hope to see him dropped to the twos so he can re-evaluate where he's at.

 

[davo99]

Ross must have done something to warrent his selection every week oh is Crocker just blind probably why he didn't get the job. Good to see Smith and Garlett get a run why did they elevate Obst iand not White surley he is ahead of him and even instead of Obst play guys like Riggio probably not desrving of a game but we nned to see if he fits or Gav could be rested

Wouldn't worry mate, he's had a good taste of it this year.

Another pre-season and some skill improvement will see him play most games next year

 

[PowerIStough]

Hopefully Obst plays.

This guy is a gun

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Lindsay Thomas is a very lucky boy. Still.

 

[Giveadogabone]

Can play Watt but dont have the charitable spirit for Harro's 150th?
Saints must be shitn themselves with Gibbo CHB. Ross is the biggest mystery for a long while. Urq?

Crocker- needs a career change

sounds like a good idea he can take that lazy p#%@k thomas with him let him evaluate how hard you have to work to be an afl footballer saw him in the flesh on saturday my mates couldnt believe how lazy and dis interested he is very very ordinary and has been all year.

 

[giantroo]

Hallelujah, Josh Smith is back.

 

[sross]

Alan Obst? Don't they need to promote him off the rookie list first?

If they don't play him they don't have to elevate him. Also, so what if they do, what difference does it make with 2 rounds to go. There is nobody else on the rookie list that looks anywhere near getting a game.

 

[MagicalRoos]

I was really hoping Ross would be given a run. A little dissapointed about that.
If Watt is a given then the other 2 I'm hoping will get a run would be Lower and Smith.

 

[scottywiper]

In Ed I trust.
Great to see him back.

 

[budge11]

Weird

 

[Chadwiko]

Swallow named in the forward line. Ed Lower, Josh Smith, Aaron Edwards, and Alan Obst all named in the extended bench.. interesting.

Depending on who plays, this game is a career maker for some of those kids.

Harris gone.
Jones on the precipice, likely gone.

Well lowers named in the team so he will not be dropped tomorrow when the final sunday teams are named unless there is a late change on sunday

[HongKongRoo]

Anyone get the feeling this is Scott trying to get a feel for who to keep and who to cut next year? Urqs is safe so may just be an excuse to rest a niggle, he knows what Harris and Jones are capable of. Aside from Watt the rest of them are auditioning for the new coach.

 

[Event Horizon]

Can't make any sense at all out of the Obst selection.
If he has been promoted (which he must have been, to be named) then surely he will play on Sunday. Now, why did we decide to give him a game? Presumably because we think he could be promoted to the senior list at the end of the year. If not, this is a joke. Wonder what role Crocker sees for him in the seniors?

I wonder if the new coach had any input into these selections.

 

[Bigeasy]

I reckon Crocker has cracked the shits he didn't get the job and has dropped the bastards that let him down.

I reckon he flogged them this week as some sort of sick revenge. We could get flogged by 150 points this week.

Not a good sign for Spitz wicks, first foot out the door?

Crocker still has control of the team till end of season. Is a good sighter for scott though
