Not happy with Davies out and De Luca needed a spell.

You must be joking. Maybe Angwin was talking about the high profile people being the match commitee?

Deluca? Scotland?

Hows the hell does Bannister get a game ahead of Russell? I had a Richmond mate tell me how impressive Russell was against Coburg a few weeks back, and the guys on SEN were impressed with his efforts last weekend also.

Even Clarke should be pissed at not being selected ahead of Bannister.



At least Bentick is in.

Interesting selections, Diggers deserved a go because of his game last weekend, Clarke gets the encouragement award. Good to see Carrazzo back, dissappointed for Prenda thought that one or two should have been dropped before him.

Nope, i'm not happy with those desicions either!

For christ sake we expect the world from Davies yet we done't want to give him any match time what-so-ever. In one week, out the other!

DeLuca needs a few weeks in the twos! END OF STORY!

And Bannister. Jesus, same thing as Davies. In one Week, out the other. That is no way to restore confidence in a player.

Agree with Johnson and Prenda though.

You'd have thought Bannister is in to play a specific role on one of Bruce, Green or Yze which Clarke couldn't play and DeLuca may go onto Holland after completely shutting him down last year.

Maybe if Carrazzo doesn't come up Clark could come in to replace him. Still surprised not to see Livingston as an emergency at least.

The team is immediately 20% better with Davies out of the side

The funny part is, despite maybe two names, our team looks great on paper.

When they get on grass though, well...

NOW YOU'RE JUST SOME CLUB THAT I USED TO KNOW.

Nicholson? Ah wtf??

Are they trying to be exposed in defense or are they going to play him up forward?

One more week for Livo?

Why isn't Livo in the team?He played 1 game at the Bullants,isn't that enough?He usually plays well against Neitz.

I'd be extremely surprised if one or two of their emergencies don't play

Went to training tonight for the first time in ages, and if Russell was the speed demon training in the number 2 jumper we are going to have a very good player, who looks a natural. Does anyone who went know whether Raso was the player in the No. 8 jumper with the white baseball cap? Looks like a project player who could be special but is the skinniest player I have ever seen!

Round 9 and we still are yet to select a side with a proper FB plus CHB!. Why why select Digby rather than Livo or Karl who are CHB's? Once again Lance will have to fill in at CHB and once again Fev will be under more pressure. Just don't understand these selections.

Sporn, Norman & Russell another week in the magoos.

There is some talent here, add Livo and Chambers and there is some talent missing this week.

Well Digby and Lance can alternate as the CHB/Alternate forward and that should work well I think

Yeah but Wiggins counteracts this and we are still 20% worse off

Agree. It seems we are going to do a bit of tagging though with Wiggo, McGrath and Bano all in.
