    What chance Spriggs?

    This week, add some dash. Stella reckons he's learnt to kick (I reckon Stella's drinking before lunch time again), against his old club, from what I have seen of him he knows how to get his hands on it. Even if his disposal is poor he might slow the Cats' down a tad. I say bring him on...

    I think he should be given a go.

    I would be happy if he tries 100% as others in the team seem to be giving less.

    Bring him in! Spriggs bandwagon!
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Hmmm Chambers was actually showing something like being a servicable option in the ruck vs Melb.
    May haved saved his spot for a couple of matches at least.

    Some players lift against their old clubs and WE NEED SOME LEG SPEED, so he should be given a chance to play.

    Retrograde step bringing him in.

    Play someone like Willoughby or Schmidt. You know if we play one of these guys with the Premiership Team after 3 years in the 2's, where they dont have seconds players around them, they might just star and make the grade in one hit.

    I don't think the Cats would be sending spies to our reserves games each week, so springing a debutant or two on the Cats could unsettle their team balance. As the reigning premiers, the opposition will be well aware of the capabilities of the 22 that played on Grand Final day and will have done their homework. This is why a debutant could be a masterstroke; they will not know them anywhere near as well.

    Or renegade?

    Get him in, give him 3 games, if he aint AFL level, piss him off and let him play park footy back home. That said, I'd like to see a young bloke get a go.

    He may not be able to repeat that in front of a bigger crowd.

    Spriggs In
    Chambers Out

    Even put Spriggsy into the ruck! Its not as though he's gonna do any worse than Chambers!!!!!!

    I think Willoughby deserves a chance. Why not bring both Spriggs and Josh.

    Against the cats on the larger Telstra Stadium, leg speed will be crucial.
