Is is role to be a useless lump? No goals, seven hitouts - 0 to advantage - and 6 touches from more than half the game time. No way they can keep playing him.

Here's an idea - keep ROK, Jolly, Moore, Hall, B2, Mattner and Kirk.

Then bring in the complete reserves side.

This will make a lot of posters here happy

Yes, the one in the last quarter where he spoiled B2 was an absolute howler.

No promote the Ainslie team instead!

LRT wasn't too bad today, certainly made some good spoils, defensive efforts. Few errors once he got the ball, but defensively good.

Our problem is that we are running out of fit players!

David Missen is missin', any coincidence.

Are you saying Matthews is so bad, he needs to be dropped twice?

OUT:
Playfair (inj.)
Goodes (inj.)
Matthews

IN:
Malceski
Barry
Nick Smith

All the players which would be worth bringing in (Schmidt, Fosdike, Barlow) are not fit enough to play.

But this is the sort of backs-against-the-wall stuff that seems to bring out the best from the team.

**Robbo** · 27th July 2008, 04:13 PM

Is Brabazon fit atm?

***NMWBloods*** · 27th July 2008, 04:30 PM

I'm not sure how fit Malceski is either - there is some talk that he has soreness in his knee.

LRT is certainly in our best 22 and he was quite good last night.

His decision making isn't the quickest (perhaps his foot skills aren't so good that he is always confident to hit a tight target - and he knows his limitations), but he is a good mark, very brave in a contest, and gives 100% effort.

Any skill issues that he may or may not have are not a problem when eski and leaping are in the team.

Not sure who we can bring back in (injuries are clearly a problem).

What is Barlow's situation?
