Out (and never to play again): Ellard, Warnock, Jones
Other Outs: Henderson (inj), Whiley

In: Jamo, Menzel, Casboult, Graham, Tutt (I suppose)

However ... if Byrne or Carrazzo available then take out Tutt.


On the other hand I would be extremely surprised if Tricky Micky and MC would drop either Jones or Warnock. Just the way it is. Roll on 2016.

Mm thought he disappeared quickly at the NB game. Wasn't sure what happened?
Bugger, we need talent ...but will no doubt pick more talls and taggers

OK. I'll go Graham instead of Menzel.

We couldn't possibly lose this.
Could we?

Ellard won't get dropped and neither should he be.
He was one of a few that actually tried his guts out.

Drop Gibbs. He only cares about what he looks like in the mirror. Let him know he isn't wanted if he's going to give us about 30 % of what he's capable of.

I think it was Parko that said he'd rather a player gave you 80% of his best every week than someone who gave you 100% when he felt like it and the rest of the time gave you nothing. That's Gibbs. Ellard is i the first category. So are Armfield and Touhy.

If Ellard is part of our future God help us. Tries hard but is seriously deficient in the skills department. His kicking for goal is soul destroying. Couldn't hit the side of a bus from 25m.

What? Like Murphy? And Gibbs? When was the last time one of them slotted inn a set shot WHEN IT WAS NEEDED TO WIN A GAME??? I'm sick of this revisionism. Ellard gives us as much or more than these entitled idiots.

Ellard does his job
If the rest did theirs we would be better off

This. Willard and Armfield are always easy targets, they have their deficiencies but try their guts out and above all else are honest. Both of those qualities are sorely lacking in the majority of the list and need to be questioned.

Edit: Ellard. Bloody autocorrect and bleary big weekend eyes this morning :grin:

yeah in a team struggling to find 22 guys who are committed on gameday ... armfield and ellard select themselves based purely on effort.


i'm not sure what malthouse will do this week with selections, but imo it needs to be something drastic & major.

dropping gibbs to the reggies, would fill that criteria. Warnock should never play 1st grade again. Casboult by all reports played great and ran his guts out for 4 qtrs y'day ... so he should be back.

maybe give this willard kid a run. he sounds like a gun.

Menzel has hamstring tightness let me refresh what that means
Hamstring tightness = pulled hamstring 4-6 weeks
Pulled hamstring = means hamstring off the bone out for season.
Hamstring off the bone = someone cut his leg off.

So if the club is saying hamstring tightness it means he is gone for 4-6 weeks

Ellard busts his gut for a poor return.
i'd honestly rather a poor return from a player with a bigger upside.
Can't really see what his value in the team is.

I only kept Ellard in because I didn't want to keep Gibbs or Murphy. At least Ellard gives something. But he should be gone at the end of this year.

we can only hope that ellard's effort and his never give up attitude catch onto other players with more ability and talent.

b'cos right now there's only 5 or 6 guys on our team trying. and ellard is one of them.
