Nankervis and Lloyd need a spell in the reserves. There are ready replacements for Lloyd but unless Naismith has made a miraculous return to fitness Nankas replacement is problematic. Assuming Franklin and McGlynn are unfit I would expect Robbo to get a game.
We really need find a way to get Nic Newman into the side though, he is now ready,is an elite kick and moves well. If we could play him we could free Rampe to play midfield against the bigger midfielder like Collingwood. He played midfield before becoming a half back flanker. The small forwards of the Pies are the worry and a smaller quicker backline would be in order.
I think the only option for a tall besides Nanka ATM is Xav. At least he's quick, can kick and has proven he can get possessions even if he won't get a lot of hitouts. He can play forward too,that was before he got labelled a backman by the club. We need to get some games into the kids.
We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!
OUT : Nankervis, LLoyd, Cunningham
IN : Pyke, McGlynn, Jones
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
Hard to be seen if your on the bench..
PS we must be playing Collingwood this weekend as Eddie is in the news about something about his career being ruined. (As if he had one we care about..) BTW If Tony Lockett had have speared him properly with his Crutch at this time, ( Plugger Spears Eddie With Crutch - YouTube ) he would not have ever been on TV again. How good would that have been. :-)
