B: Buckley Jamison Walker
HB: Tuohy Waite Yarran

Foll: Warnock Bell Murphy
C: Thomas Graham Simpson

HF: Gibbs Henderson Lucas
F: Menzel Watson Casboult

Int: Ellard Everitt Curnow Cripps
Emerg: Holman Giles Docherty

Time to go for some run and carry.
Good run and creativity from defence. Walker, Tuohy, Buckley & Yarran should work over any fwd line.
Cut the plodders.
Better kicking inside forward 50.
Add some excitement.

Curnow on Watson and Everitt on Goddard.
Jamison on Daniher and Waite on Carlisle or visa versa.

With the emergencies coming through and the addition of Judd & Carrazzo we will win our fair share of games this year.

..not sure about your forward structure hombre', I reckon hendo would need to work up the ground a fair bit leaving bolt close to goal since he will relieve ruc and can't motor too far or he will run out of gas, and watto doesnt yet have a running engine either, so I think we will get rebounded too easily..

May well be right but what options do we have???? :wink:

Big Kahuna Boot · **Posted:** Wed Apr 02, 2014 1:10 pm

..keep the bolt as key forward pinch hit ruck, don't rush in krooz, drop Rowe.. ..I like it and agree with that, but watto is too slow as a ff and also for locking the ball in, I don't mind playing him but if we do just develop him at chb, lock him in there for half a season and give him a chance.. ..or just delist him now and be done wit it.. .but don't swing him around the field and give him a taste here and there wit no consistent y of senior games.. ..my main concern is the 'musical chairs' we all play with players and their positions and roles.. ..especially for the younger less experienced types, it really stifles development.. ..its why I'm reluctant to suggest walker as ff, I think he currently is our best option but he is playing well at hb..

I can't even fathom the idea of loosing to Essendon* and being 0-3 for the season.

I love the young fella, but I worry that his small frame won't handle the cheaters at the G in front of 70,000. He's got plenty of time. I'd bring him straight back in against Melbourne and give him a full game.

If Carrazzo's fit I'd play him sub. Walker is a no-brainer, Wood to replace Rowe, McLean's too slow and Lucas isn't up to a big important game like this. We need Armfield's pace and experience.

I think we can win with this team.

70,000 at the G on Sunday night? Even if it's vs Essendon*.

C'mon mate.. April fools was yesterday.

Here's hoping under 30,000 rock up just so we don't have to put up with this scheduling from next year

Not even a @#$%&! 12 hour break between the game and work the next day to get over the loss.

Glad to see we are on a Sunday night again :roll:

That timeslot isn't even convenient for me to watch on Foxtel. If I lived in Melbourne there's not a single possibility I'd make it to the game. Full credit to any of you blokes who rock up. You're true supporters.

In the meantime I'll look forward to another week of Fat Vlad defending his horrendous ticketing costs and scheduling.

Essendon* are number one for kicks, marks and disposals while we are 15th, 17th and 18th. Complete opposite game styles so interesting to see what the brains trust come up with this week.

Apparently Adelaide wish to make their play for Thursday nights so Thursday may get more traction next year as it's seemingly more appealing vs the non-family loving Sunday nights in Melbourne. Luckily we're only the home team in one of three that we're playing in.

Come on Blues ......... this time with feeling ....... FFS

Hopefully I'll win $25m tonight. It's the only way I'll get to Monday with a smile on my face.

..hope our mids are switched on, cos with Ryder out everyone knows that knockers will win vast majority of taps, and they all get tapped down his shorts..

That's because Aussie Bogans would rather take their kids to footy on Thursday Night in order to keep them out of school on Friday so tegu can all take a long weekend out in the bush in their caravan/camp trailer.
