Agree entirely. Anyone who spews Menzel should be ashamed of themselves.

Carrots. That's what normally gets spewed. So, leave Menzel alone, and spew carrots.

If recent history against Sydney is anything to go by, then this could get very ugly.

Keep it under five goals and the side has done well.

We will not beat Sydney.
We will not even come close.
We will be lucky if we can keep it under 100 points.

Here's to hoping Sydney decide to have a day off and thump us by anything under 50 points.

wayne johnston and phil maylin were being hidden by parkin

as was craig bradley

cret,,,,, maybe we can 'hide' graham on the wings too..

youre funny....

We can hide Graham on the wing because we hide McLean, Ellard and Bell on the ground somewhere...
If their is one player who deserves an opportunity it's Graham, reward for effort, results show us that.
Still not sure what Ellard did last week to deserve the opportunity this week??? If Ellard is a walk up start, it shows us where we sit on the ladder... Likewise with Bell, not sure what he did the week before nor did he perform that well when he came on against the saints, wonder if Graham will receive the same freedom that most of our average players get.....
I don't know if Graham will make it but, give him the rest of the year then decide he's future....
Ellard has played 48 games and Bell has played 22, maybe judge Graham after 20 games???? Needs more than 2 quarters....

Bell is in our best 22.
Ellard is too (at the moment).

Graham is in our best 30. Maybe. That's the difference. If he has earned his place in the best 22 for the week because if injuries etc to players in his position, he gets a go. It's always been that way. Wiggo was the same. He was in our best 25 and had to wait for someone to get injured before he got a game. When he got injured or suspended, he had to wait weeks or months before he got another go.

This is Graham's chance to try and prove he is in our best midfield rotation. Not easy atm because we have a lot of similar paced players it seems. Now he has his turn. if he gets match time he needs to show, like Johnson, that he can hold his own. Nobody expects him to be BOG, just to do as he was instructed regarding team plan etc. if he does that and uses the footy when he gets it, he gets a return bout a la Johnson. A la Buckley. A la Bell in the beginning. If he's sub he has to make it a winning quarter for himself. Johnson came on as sub and had a few touches but he showed us all something in those few minutes that told us he was worth having a look at again the following week. Graham has to do that. Just show something worth looking at next week, maybe in the 21 and not as the sub.

Good players don't often fall through the cracks. It does happen from time to time but usually they get their turn. This is Graham's.

Graham finally gets a gig and his fans still aren't happy

All he needs to do is play his role

Nobody expects him to get 30 touches

Put your head over the ball, give 100%, run both ways, do what the coaches tell you, try to not @#$%&! up, and you'll have done well

Sydney play a game tailored to Graham's skill set, to some degree anyhow

Bang on

Looks as though Denis was taking some of Gavin's medicine...

Derickx withdrawn from the Swans Reserves side so possibly a late change.

Odds for Graham as sub?

Very likely.

I'd say Ellards defensive ability will see him start.

_________________
I hope Essendon* folds.

most likely, and when Mick brings him on for 20 minutes he will need to match it with Kennedy and McVeigh - thrash them in fact to stay in the team.

unlike Everrit, Docherty and Daisy who will be protected in the pockets and hiding on the wings - they must stay in the side - 100 minute players, week in week out - untouchables - Micks children, Like the Great Cameron Wood - 64 games in 10 seasons at 3 clubs

graham - one chance for 20 minutes.

He better step up or its delisting for him at the end of the year so we can recruit didak or O'Brien magumba on 2 million dollar contracts

Daisy has definitely been hidden in the pockets. Agree with you there. If he has lost his pace permanently, we are is strife with his albatross like contract.

Docherty has been fantastic this year in a variety of roles. He hasn't been hidden. Especially as he is a half back, who is learning the midfield.

Everitt is a utility. Not a midfielder.
