That's a long list.

its starting to take its toll and this week the cats should regain, mooney, chapman,
the players in bold are ones whod step straight in i included swallow cos with the lack of run in the midfield id give him a go,

the one thing that is interesting is that a big injury list and boggle cant get back into the side.

 

[Event Horizon]

Thommo's Melbourne form has been much better than his interstate showings, and he would be a huge loss against Geelong. We'll practically have no forward line in case he misses.

 

[Harris 10]

We'll practically have no forward line in case he misses.

People on this board want him dropped anyway along with Grant, Thomas & Jones.

thats 4 out of our to 5 goal kickers they want out

 

[shinboner magic]

I think its time shagger had a rest as he looks a long way off his best and more than likely we will get smashed so we can freshen him up for the week after.

Gee i wonder why? they did only kick one goal on the weekend between them. I'm not saying drop them but you can understand people's frustration.

 

[macka11]

How did he hurt it walking off the ground at the end of the match???? Not that he was near the footy all night.

 

[mighty mick]

bring back brown

Don't worry. You can't take those things seriously. People are just venting there anger for some bad efforts.

BTW, Thommo should play. I also hope Wells comes back in.

 

[__aria__]

Leigh Brown come on down son!

 

[Robertsonroo]

bring back brown

I know that Browny cops a fair bagging on this site, but the truth is, we don't have a 'link man' in our team...someone who takes the pass from the back half and directs traffic into the forward line. Simmo can't kick/Harris is a workhorse but kicks like a mule/Rawlings ditto. Brown has height, is a good handballer (standout in this team) and can KICK (long and goals). I would give him another go....there are some others who haven't put up their hands for about a month and that's too long when we are encouraging youth (J.Smith/Ross)

I hope your joking. I have never seen player miss so many targets by hand. That said, I think he should come back into the team this week. If Thommo doesn't play, bring in Josh Smith.

Yep, personally, I can well understand the frustration.

But what I can't understand is not taking two seconds to reflect on the big picture before spewing forth with these volleys of wisdom.

Fantastic.

Apparently he buggered his knee bending over to pick up all the balls getting kicked at his ankles.

 

[The Other Dean]

If Thommo doesn't play, bring in Josh Smith.

If there is a desire to replace an injured Thommo with a big-bodied bloke pinch-hitting up Forward, please let it be Smith.

Besides, the missus reads Vogue and she assures me that Brown is not in this season.

TOD just owned someone bad... ruthless... x 2

 

[rangeroo]

Here in lay's our on field problem.With possibly 12 out/doutful due to injury the 22 out on the park don't feel pressure for position in team,there for they play with almost total position security.Not good chemistry for all especially "C" graders who don't need to fight/preform to keep spot in 22,unlike Cats every player is playing desperatly for a place in team.

Agreed. Your Missus knows all.

Problem with this team, and let it be said only a small one however... we just don't seem willing to drop established players who are massively out of form. I'm not talking 1 or 2 games, but there has been a bit of recent history over the last 4-5 years where players have been horribly out of form for massive swathes of the year yet retain their spot. Often this has been due to injury, it has done them and the team no favours in my opinion.

 

[Archer_11]

Good to see Azza might play again this season.

 

[The Teflon Dean]

It's a blessing in disguise.

We should tag Scarlett anyway.

Sure, blame ya mrs for the vogue subscription that gets debited from your credit card each month....its always someones mrs!

According to 10 NEWS Thommo is fine. Just tune in at 5:40.

 

[scottywiper]

Thommo will miss.
Which should bring Josh Smith into the mix, I would think.

Has to be Smith.
I am very interested to see him running out of the square by himself, because he was never going to work with Thommo in the team.
