Both are good and will get better but I can't agree that Armfield is more composed. Browne if allowed to settle in the BP will show what poise he has. Armfield has been good but is still rushing his disposal a bit. This will improve as he gets more games.

Wouldn't mind seeing Browne on Campbell. Armfield on Wells. Grigg on Grant. Jamo on McMahon. Thornton on Hale.

No way Waite will be allowed to play loose this week so I would play him on a wing.

I would put Russell on Harvey, has the fitness and would take Russell to the ball which he needs.

He plays like his pants are on fire and his own shadow's going to kill him!

And I say this with maximum respect.

Agree...it looks like he is still trying to run when he is trying to dispose of the ball. Very enthusiastic kid.

I also say that the utmost respect and not saying it is necessarily a bad thing. This kid is switched on.

What time are the final teams normally announced, is it about 5?

need to know if armfield is definetaly playing for fantasy footy selections, he would be very unlucky to be dropped after last week.

I really hope he plays not only cuz he is in my fantasy team but i really rate the way he goes about it.

I would be very upset if Armfield or Wiggins were dropped !

Both have been very very good.

Russell on the other hand.... nah i won't start

I'd be shocked if Armfield or Wiggins were dropped.

Armfield looks an excellent recruit and Wiggins looks more assured and strong this year.

How does Russell keep getting chance after chance? Seems to be playing a negative type role but does he have any other tricks up his sleeve? Too many missed shots at goal.
He gets a lot more games than some others on the list who are doing well with the Northern Bullants. Strange.

If that is the criteria then Fisher wouldn't get a game all year.

PLEASE DROP FISHER!!! PLEASE!

:shock:

Surely there will be a late change. Bower or Eddie for Saddo.
Saddo is not at all suited to the North forward line. They'll be fairly short too without Thompson and McIntosh. Honestly, who would he play on? If Eddie and Bower don't come up, I'd rather Bentick

We're trying to create a "WIGGINS" with Saddo.

:roll: :roll: :roll:
Do you actually know the evidence to back up what you're saying?

Fisher has kicked 20 goals 21 behinds, 48%..... Our 3rd Highest goal kicker
Russel has kicked 2 goals 12 behinds, 14%...... shithouse

Both from 18 games. Know what your talking about before calling for players to be dropped :wink:

RED ALERT ON BLUES MIDFIELD: RAWLINGS

http://www.afl.com.au/News/NEWSARTICLE/ ... wsId=65597

"I don't see Carlton as being a side that's below us," Rawlings said. "I think their footy the last few weeks has been exceptional.

"Their midfield's really their strength and also with Fev (Brendan Fevola). It's going to be a big game ... because I reckon if they make the eight they're as good a chance as we are."

Smart man. 8)

Yeah, interesting one that. I remember hearing a commentator (cannot remember who it was) 2 weeks ago saying 'i've been really impressed with Jordan Russell up forward this year.' ........... :shock:

WTF?

Fisher, whilst is an AWESOME mark has really been dissapointing. He should have really kicked 30+ goals as most of the ones his missed have been dead set in front!

So for me, both have been dissapointing. Especially Fisher's around the ground efforts!
