Didn't he kick 7 before his injury?

 

[THE CAT WRANGLER]

Great team !

 

[dazbroncos]

yeah couple weeks b4 he was injured by memory. serious talent

Hope the umpires are switched on cos I expect Ayers to apply plenty of physical pressure - not all necessarily within the rules either.

Go Bankers

I think they would be competitive against a lot of the afl teams out there at the moment. Some real talent and experience in that team

T.V. game this weekend.

Even us interstaters will get an opportunity to watch the Bankers. Replay Wednesday morning on ABC1.

Looking forward to it.

And the thread title should reference 'August'.

Just checking whether we're paying attention, I guess.

Been thinking about him and how his rehab was going, like hearing about the VFL boys.

Good to see Chappy held back another week

Could be a close one as we have little to play for while Port have plenty, and particularly if all 3 emergencies travel to Perth. That said with players looking to stay in the mix for AFL finals and others looking to stay on the list there shouldn't be much of a tapering off.

Looking forward to seeing Cowan now he's strung a few together, some have him eyeing seniors, others have him delisted, I get the feeling he could put in a big showing on Saturday.

Ayres and Cleary Bankers juggernaut by 17.

Golly, why would they take all 3 emergencies to Perth, do you know something I don't?
PS, about this, I mean.

Dunno Fred, seems excessive but with plenty riding on the ones and little on the two's maybe they would??

Not much point in being an emergency 3000 k's away, such an important game I wouldn't leave anything to chance.

No talls named though which is interesting.

What's the usual number they'd take?

As far as I know this season (unless they know beforehand they're going to make a late change) it's usually only one or even none.

 

[LifeSpan-Void]

Don't mean to be a pedantic buzzkill but shouldn't the thread title be 17th of August? Otherwise we're really coming in off the long run-up on this one.

 

[muttonchops]

Pretty bloody good VFL team that would easily beat Melbourne and GWS. Maybe even St Kilda. Looking forward to plonking myself on the Paul Couch and having a good look at this one.

You know our VFL side is a strong one when 2 AFL listed players are named on the bench.

So we're half-way there?

Think its just Hartman.

 

[JUBJUB]

Think its just Hartman.

Sheringham is also named on the bench

 

[WA Cat]

Does Mathew Knights travel with the AFL team or coach the VFL team against Port?

 

[meto]

Really interested in how Cowan goes, playing for his career at Geelong atm, also Chappy of course!
