Armfields performances last year means he should be considered otherwise agree very uninspiring selections

Graham can play. Has to play on the ball though. He's been played out of position at half forward and it hasn't worked, time to play him in his natural position again.

Predictably, the cheats have loaded up their side with their dad's army.
Knew the pricks would set their sites on us.
Bring the same effort we've shown in the last 6 qtrs, but with a bit more polish in the fwd 50, and we should get the chocolates easily.

Let's leave all the warm and fuzzy recollections about our past to the cream puffs on this forum.

Real men like you and I need to assume our guard position and resume hostilities again :wink: :wink: :wink:

Fair enough..... you flower! :wink:

Hard to ignore Crowley when he picks up 30+ touches and kicks 4 goals in the VFL. Similarly, Simpkin picked up 30+ and kicked 2.

If we had someone doing that for us, we'd be playing them.

Gibbs forward - YES! Big YES from me.

Weitering forward - No! He's even said himself he's enjoying it down back and prefers it down back. Only 5 games into his AFL career....... I don't wanna go stuffing up his development swinging him all over the ground.


Last week was the first time this season we've had Gibbs, Murphy and Cripps spending a lot of time in the midfield together. Its no coincidence we also won the game.
Until we have someone stepping up to take Gibbs' role in the centre square, he should stay where he is.

Kerridge forward then I guess, he did feature up there last week with some success.

I like Gibbs spending some time up forward but I think it will only work if it's a part time gig. Keep Daisy up forward as well and please play Armfield.

What to do with Kreuzer? I would like to see him play the majority of the game up forward. I know he plays his best football in the ruck but he is out of form. Perhaps even using Casboult in the ruck a little bit more might get him more involved and leave Kreuzer to be the hulk inside 50. I would like to see it more often anyway.

Too many players not staying in the game long enough. Phillips, Sumner, Lamb, Tuohy, Kreuzer and Plowman (a bit harsh considering his role).

Between the three of them there is a good balance of experience, youth, inside and outside and an ability to kick goals. Far from the worst midfield group in the league, just need to extend it from three quality midfielders to five.

Ryan Crowley, Jonathan Simpkin and James Polkinghorne will all come in for the important battle between arch rivals. The three come in at the expense of Craig Bird, Martin Gleeson and Conor McKenna.

Glad Graham is back in. Hope he plays on the ball and bounces back to form.

Just find it a little spooky that our two main key fwds in the pre season IKON thumping are the same two who go around Sunday, i.e. Jones and Casboult. They were shocking that day.

Anyway, let's hope their confidence has improved since then and actually having a decent midfield to kick it to them (plus Army's presence), makes all the difference. The only senior mids we had out there that day were Curnow and Graham.

Youre kidding.
He had the clean up Monday, Rewired on Tuesday, Bog on Wednesday....
He's playing his first game against Essendon*.

They must be expecting a huge crowd at the G weather permitting.
Nearly finals atmosphere...this is a bit different...every game counts.

WE have to win this one.

Spooky.

Double Spooky.

We had our entire midfield, including ruck out that game.

To the NAB squad we the midfield group Kreuzer Cripps Murphy Gibbs Simpson Kerridge Wright Thomas Sumner Plowman Tuohy to the NAB team.

We should win....we have to win.

Lamb was strong today .




Would have been an even better game if he got a fair go from the maggots, he was reamed.


I reckon there were four goals denied by the umps through non-decisions - one to them, three to us, two of them were gimme goals for Lamb.

Scum ins: Crowley, Lonergan, Wallis, Merritt, Sheedy.

I don't care if the current side is drug-free (better test that Crowley again to be sure).

Just look at that jumper and grind these servants of Beezlebub :evil: into the turf, Blues.

This is THE must-win game for the year, bar none.

Hate hate hate.

Plus a little bit of dislike...




Hate.
