In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.
I'm over Meredith, let's see Sumner or Parker given a try, they can't produce any less than Meredith has done is his senior games.
Keep Pyke in, quality rucking
I'd be reluctant to have Bird out of the 21. Fan of Moore's as well, and I agree, I think he would get under some teams guards and might burst out 3 goals or just be boss with a ton of clearances.
Good lateral thinking with reg, we have nothing to lose, give it a go longmire!
Can anyone update us on what the weather has been like in Canberra recently? Are we any chance of a dry game this weekend? I am even happy to completely freeze my butt off down in Our Nation's Capital if we can see a game with a ball not resembling a bar of soap for a change.
Unless you look in the collective bargaining agreement on the AFL site ...
Full agreement here.
12. LONG TERM INJURY LIST
12.1 Each AFL Club may apply to the AFL General Manager ? Football Operations to
transfer a Player suffering a long term injury from its Primary List to its Long Term
Injury List. A long term injury means an injury or illness suffered by a Player
which, in the opinion of the AFL Medical Officer, after consultation with the AFL
Club Medical Officer, will prevent or is likely to prevent a Player, having due
regard to his health and safety, from participating in a Match for a period of not less
than eight weeks from the date the injury or illness is diagnosed.
The loss of Kieren Jack is huge! Moore should be the obvious replacement but we all know he can't maintain the intensity for 4 quarters.My call ,way back , that he be the Sub is based on two facts
1. He will continue to be selected regardless of his on field performance
2.He can be a good player for one quarter a match and make an impact something none of our subs have done in sharp contrast to other teams!
Personally ,he is not in my top 22 and I believe the game is too fast for his style of play.
I agree he might get under the radar but to burst out with 3 goals? 3 points more likely.
Young Parker looks a much more likely type with a lot more upside.Either way McVeigh is going to have a huge responsibility now.
White? At what stage do you admit the experiment is not working?
There is talk the Lake may be dropped due to lack of form. This from Rocket himself.
He's usually been the one who has killed us recently.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
Manuka weather - local weather forecast
I travel down for business frequently and it is getting pretty damn chilly (for a sydney sider anyway). Forecast is due to be Sunny for the days either side of Saturday but you never really know. I'm expecting it to be sunny. It was a beautiful day last year so hopefully we can repeat that. But by gee when the Sun went down behind the stands last year it dropped about 15 degrees!!!
