We have Cripps.

They don't.

McClure on 3AW says Ablett far from being a certainty to play. Injury continuing to cause discomfort.

So no pressure on the 20 year old who has played 12 games then?

Yep I don't think he'd appreciate Tommy Bell lining him up to test out that shoulder

Take another week off Gaz :thumbsup:

I want to drop Simon White every week but once I do it the first time I'm stuffed

Richmond were 3-10 when they started their run last year

Beat GC & we're 3-9

Bring BB in. From all reports he had a great game in the NB and him up against other kids in the GC could give him the confidence. We need his speed too.

Im tempted to bring in Whiley as i reckon he'll be a player under Barker and his 'take the game on' approach. Anything's better than using him as a tagger.

they're saying up here, abblett will never regain full range and motion of his injured shoulder. it still gives him pain and to play again is about managing the pain.

with that prognosis, you can't imagine he'll ever be super effective ever again. he's one good whack on it, away from retirement.

If we lose it's not because we're tanking.
It's because we think all we have to do is walk on the ground.
Been a problem since 2012 especially. I'll just think that way. Go Blues. Hope we win. :smile:

In that case, Whiley & Holman to the forefront for the Gibbs replacement.

BB if Murphy doesn't come up or he could even take the spot of 1AW.

A good win, no need to make wholesale changes, including Jamison. Another week in the VFL will do him good (practice his disposal) and the backline performed quite well last week.

Jamo has had a few years to practice his disposal lol. Great backman, but very ordinary disposal.

BB and Whiley will flourish under Barker and I want one last long look at Watto before season's end too. Blues by 24.

tank!!! :fight:

but seriously, i know one swallow doesnt make a summer, but look at all of the positivity on the site over the last couple of days due to this win.

play to win, not to lose and things will turn themselves around. there is talent on this list that will come to the fore now that malthouse is not trying to smother it with his ego. even if we lose, as long as play with intent there is hope. play to lose and we might as well shut the club down because none of us will care

Oh! Bender! How dare you misquote the quote!

"One swallow a summer maketh not."

Get it right, mate.[/quote]
