Doesn't the weekend have a positive feel when we win?? I also liked 10 goal kickers too. I hate to admit it but sometimes we seem better at scoring when there is not one forward option in L.F.
Some good marks by Reid & Mc Cartin.
Out; Jack
In; Rowbottom
Still only had 40 inside 50s. Somehow conjured 22 scoring shots.
Some suggestion Sam Reid got hurt last night, so might miss.
Menzel played a full game in the NEAFL. I wonder if they’d be tempted to get a game of AFL into him before Collingwood?
Please let Buddy be fit this week?
Jack surely has to go. I thought everyone else acquitted themselves really well. Fox did a great job on Saad, COR played well and atoned for his 100m penalty in style.
OUT: Jack, Reid
IN: Menzel, Buddy
Jack will probably be given the week off to recover from the head knock he got early in the game. Everyone seems to have missed that, saying he was very quiet etc. Well, there was a reason for it.Originally Posted by Markwebbos
I thought he was very lively in the first quarter.....he looked like the Kizza of old. It was a real pity he got that head knock I reckon.....
I thought he was quite "sprightly" for a gent of his age in the first quarter too. Horsed was asked about the concussion in his presser and said that Jack was tested and passed the test... Longmire implied that it was a non-issue, but Kizza seemed not to play well after, barely touched the ball, gave away free kicks etc.
My comment about dropping him was based on taking Horse at face value i.e. his performance was unaffected.
OUT : Jack, Reid
IN : Rowbottom, Franklin
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
I had the same thought BR but we'll have to see what happens with injuries. Ernie K's suggestion about Buddy for Reid will be neat if that's how it works out. Having McCartin and Blakey up and going makes Reid feel a bit more expendable
A very even team effort but Reid and Jack had minimal impact. With McCartain's and Blakey's impact, Reid's place in the team is not a given. I wonder whether he needs to be converted to a key position defender. This potentially would free Rampe to provide run out of defence. Anyway my preliminary thoughts on next week's team selections are:
Outs: Jack Reid
Ins: Rowbottom Franklin
Absolutely.What a waste of money he has been, injuries accepted.What is he on 600k ? Defender until he gets injured again. Can take a mark so should be able to punch and like a good defender cant kick straight for @@@@.
Rampe is such a penetrating kick and has good run and carry. We don't see it much because he's always taking the opposition's number 1 forward. With Maibaum and Grundy injured and the emergence of McCartain and Blakey, I think it makes sense to at least try Reid in defence. At very least he could get the ball to ground - I would back Rampe to win it at ground level too, he's as tough (and as stupid at times!) as nails.
Reid stays (providing he is fit) as he has been providing back up to Sinclair in the ruck and provides a reasonable contest. Allir had a run as ruck, which weakens the defence.
Buddy comes in for Jack and plays on a wing or high half forward, delivering the ball into McCartin, Blakey, Reid or Parker.

Buddy for Reid obviously
Rose for Jack but it won't happen
rose never
forgotten 1996
2005 a much sweeter memory,2012 even better
