Go Blues

As sad as I am to say it,they are great changes. ADL needs to be dropped. Simmo should be dropped after such a game. Davies in after yet another great game in the VFL is good, and I repeat something I wrote earlier today I erally don't get what Bryan could have done wrong last week in the VFL. I thought he was fantastic.

Well done Clarke for keeping your spot.

Happy to see Bryan in, not so happy to see Wiggins out, and still though De Luca would be ok if he was permitted to play in the forward line.

Hopefully a week or two in the ressies gets him some time in the forward line.

Thanks heaps SAS87, I'd be stuffed without you. As an interstater I appreciate you posting this gear early for us.

Go Bear, tear 'em a new one.

Its about time De Luca got dropped. He is soft. The only reason they have played him for that long is because there isnt anyone else to replace him.
I saw bryan play in the twos last week and played a great game.

Bryan isn't an AFL Ruckman, anyway all the best for your debut!
Scotland and Davies are there by default and it's going to get ugly on Saturday.

Thanks again sas87.

If Stevo's out surely Simmo should stay in...not even an emergency

Glad to see Bryan get an opportunity.

Friday night will be worse

Looking fwd to seeing how the Bear handles himself. Hopefully Davo gets a bit more game time.

Looks like there will be a late change if the reports on Stevens are true. Bowyer?

YARRAN!!





.

He becomes one on Saturday.... he may become a failed AFL ruckman, but cmon, be supportive of the guy. He has deserved a game on VFL performance in my view. Easily.

Further, Davies had a great game on the weekend. You can argue whether he belongs in the AFL all you'd like but like Clarke, deserves to be tehre on VFL form.

Good to see Davies back in. Let's hope he gets a decent opportunity.

Bryan will be interesting. First game. No ruckman. Heat goes straight on.

Well done Bryan..........

now....he must take every kick out......and go
straight down the middle........!

it'll end up half way down the ground.....it takes
us 8 kicks.....7 handballs and.......
two turn overs to get the ball to
the centre of the ground........!


kindest regards tommi

Watched the VFL game twice and to be fair he is a hard nut unlike Deluca who occasionally kicks poorly. May be best suited to a KP like DeLuca more than ruck and at least he throws his weight around.

sshhh tommi... you're giving away the game plan!

I too agree with the changes. Bryan in gives him the opportunity he deserves.

Simpson he'll be back and having a run in the twos will at the very least give him some confidence again.

Wiggins as per Simmo. A chance to be given free reign in the two's rather than a task.

Archie, i'm sure he too realises that on form he doesn't warrant a spot, hence back to earn it and the pressure comes on if the Bear can perform.

With the rumour about re Stevo not playing i really would like to see Davies given a run on the ball lets see if he can truly give the No 7 some justice.

We win this week , quietly confident.

Nick Davis always seems to do well against us, the little bastard. Job for Carrazzo perhaps?

Well I'm not sure Scotland deserved his spot this week. Wasn't impressed to much his game for the Bullants. Not complaining through as Scotland is a classy player when in form.

Bowyer will obviously take Stevens place if he doesn't make it. Davies and Bryan have earnt there spot .

Now lets hope Dennis has told them to play for the draw.

Would have preferred T-Lo than Scotland. I am totally against the immediate promotion of an otherwise solid performer who has a bad streak in the firsts and after one decent at best performance in the twos, they're springing back in (ala Bannister). This doesn't achieve much - it's like waving a marshmellow over a camp fire.

Then who do we put on O’Loughlin? Cloning is looking more and more attractive as a option. Do you think the AFL would notice?

Two Lance Whitnalls,that's what we'd end up given our luck, ATM .
