I agree. No doubt there'll still be some uninformed flower at the game who will still give it to him but I'll be going along mainly to see him hopefully have a good game. He could have sooked it up and passively seen out his time in the NB's but instead he's been super positive and a great team player. He deserves success and I hope things go his way.

I'll still be nervous when he has ball in hand but hopefully he takes the same intent he's shown in the VFL into the AFL. The last thing he needs to do is go back into his shell. Fingers crossed. I have no doubt the players will also be fully behind him and hoping he has success.

Wow SPS dropped

Yep, I wish him all the best, he's in Navy Blue and that's all that matters

Double post

wonder why SPS was dropped ?

Harrison Macreadie (Omitted), Nick Graham (Omitted), Sam Petrevski-Seton (Managed)

'managed' ?

injured? rested? disciplined?

SPS still an emergency, strange

he looked tired and sore just before the bye so i would guess extra rest

They're just giving him an extra week's rest.

He better be rested and not playing for Northern tomorrow.

I only watch the odd NB game and read the reports on TC

If someone can mount a case for the high quality,sustained over several weeks performances of
a) Sumner
b) Thomas
c) Lamb
d) Smedts
e)Macreadie

at ressie level, I'll shut up about KJ and to a lesser extent, Boekhorst

Otherwise, selection is predomonantly based on the Tony Abbott model of 'captain's call'

And we're meant to swallow it

I agree love to see SPS play but obviously needs a rest
Macreadie I think also struggled he will be back
I'm happy that lamb gets a go thought he was ok last year and this is probably a final test to determine whether he will be on the list next year or not
Jones not convinced like many but has obviously done well in the seconds -once again it is his chance otherwise he won't be on the list next year
Thought Graham has been ok so a bit surprised at him being dropped

Jones, if he doesn't perform over a couple of weeks he is in big trouble. Shows something then maybe he has a career. A pretty low risk strategy from the SC.

As a midfielder Graham just doesn't get enough of the ball, averaging 18 disposals a game this year.

Coming over from Tassie to watch this game so am hoping for a four quarter effort from the boys , looking forward to seeing the young blokes live , am not expecting a win but as I said before just want a real crack for four quarters, pity sps isn't playing but he has struggled the last few weeks and I think a week more rest won't do him any harm , we must remember he had bugger all preseason , am coming back over to watch the game against the dogs with my son (first time for him to the G ),so am looking forward to that one , hopefully some nice melb weather for that one would be good GO BLUES !!!!!
