Mousey 47 Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Well i dont know about many but i am facing the fact that its going to be a long year indeed and we are rebuilding and developing young players, so i dont mind us losing games for us to get a good draft pick (fingers crossed perrsonally for Naita) but this mondays Queen of Birthday game is like a final on itself usually for me and i love watching and cheering every minute of the game...i have a sense of pride for this game. What is everyones thoughts for their ins and outs? I think we should bring in a lot of guys to make their debut, lets just see what happens to them on the bigstage in a big crowd, that includes Maric and if Grimes is right bring Grimes up. Now robbo will be put on the long term injury list wont he? Valenti would be the obvious choice to be elevated for good? but due to the fact our forward line is just simply pathetic, lets take a risk....bring on the Zomertron? Trent Zomer? At least he will be a target to kick too!!! John Meesen? Lets see what he can do? We might as well !!?
Whispering_Jack 31,365 Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Zomer hasn't even played a senior game for Sandringham.
Mousey 47 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Posted June 1, 2008 so?? lol i know it sounds unconventional but really what do we have to lose and our forward line is in trouble!! other than newton who else can we bring up from sandy to be a target up forward?
The Emblem 1 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 so?? lol i know it sounds unconventional but really what do we have to lose and our forward line is in trouble!! other than newton who else can we bring up from sandy to be a target up forward? I want to see Grimes play this year too but at the moment he cannot by definition be match fit. And Mousey...Whispering Jack is a guru. He is Master Po...we are mere Grasshoppers.
Pates 9,697 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Brock (nose) and Robbo (Achilles) will be out due to injury, and Bate's a possible omission as well with his hand. Rivers and Carroll are available for this week, i don't know about Whelan but if he's available surely he'd be straight back in. Valenti and Holland were unlucky to be dropped last wee, and Bails did flag a possible return for Newton. Can someone tell me what the severity with Davey's injury, i'd love him to be back but only if he's fully fit. My Ins: Valenti, Holland, Rivers, Maric, (Newton, if Bate injured) Outs: Brock, Robbo, Frawley, Buckley, (Bate, if injured)
CarnTheDees 52 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Davey stated he's a 80-90% chance to play QB, so assume he's in. Holland in to play forward (and possibly cover Rocca if Warnock struggles) Garland on Medhurst Rivers in to cover Cloke Bell out Whelan in to play on Davis Davey back in Bartram and Buckley back to Sandy OUT: Robbo, Bartram, Bell, Buckley IN: Rivers, Holland, Davey, Whelan Valenti in if McLean doesn't get up, Newton for Bate.
Gouga 570 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I'd like to see... In: Davey, C Johnson, Martin, Morton, Newton, Rivers, Valenti Out: Robertson (inj), Bartram, Bell, Bruce, Dunn, White, Yze but it won't happen!
Demons 32 235 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 In: Rivers (best 22), Newton or Holland CJ (sandy form has warranted it), Davey (best 22), Morton (already best 22) Out: Bell, Dunn, Robbo (inj), Yze, Frawley. Other changes should happen but no way will 5 get dropped.
Guest unstable punt Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I'd like to see... In: Davey, C Johnson, Martin, Morton, Newton, Rivers, Valenti Out: Robertson (inj), Bartram, Bell, Bruce, Dunn, White, Yze but it won't happen! putting Martin in is just irrational thinking
RickyBobby 0 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 In: Rivers, Davey, Morton Out: Bartram, Frawley, Bell Maybe dutchy will get a run if fit...
_becks_ 35 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Robbo out Holland/Newton in Bartram/Bell out Valenti in Rivers in Frawley out Davey in Yze out gees i hope Brock can play this week, and Davey. Otherwise we will lose by 200 points
Guest MFC4Life Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Its frightening that none of our experienced players are performing and we are now missing Neitz, Robertson and still possibly Whelan ( I have given up prediciting his return). That was without doubt our worst game of this year. St. Kilda are crap too. There were countless times when St. Kilda performed a CMB (Classic Melbourne Botch). You tag Gram and he won't get a kick and Ball, Dal Santo, Hayes and Riewoldt are the only blokes that keep their heads above water.
Pates 9,697 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 gees i hope Brock can play this week, and Davey. Otherwise we will lose by 200 points I hope so too, but The Age had him listed as 1 week out. I would love Davey back as well, he has become the spark of the Dees again, he and Aussie work really well off each other.
Nasher 33,674 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Brock (nose) ... will be out due to injury ! Then he can go down as the first player in history to miss a game with a broken nose.
titan_uranus 25,252 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Brock wouldn't miss QB because of a broken nose. He'll play. God I hope Davey plays. Maybe Meesen to the forward line? He can move (apparently), maybe he can mark and/or kick too.
mfcrox 143 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I'd like to see... In: Davey, C Johnson, Martin, Morton, Newton, Rivers, Valenti Out: Robertson (inj), Bartram, Bell, Bruce, Dunn, White, Yze but it won't happen! I'd like to see that sort of thing as well... we have to look towards the future. We are at the half-way mark of the season, and there are some decisions that will have to be made at the seasons end in regard to who to keep, and who goes. Bring C. Johnson in for the last 12-games to see if he is up to it. How can you evaluate a blokes ability at AFL level, when he is sitting in the stands each week? Also bring the likes of Meesen, Martin, Newton, Valenti and Maric in... these are the future and we have to get them in eventually, what better way to do it than in front of 60,000-70,000 for the Queens Birthday??? If we lose by 100-points with a young side, then so be it. What have you lost other than some percentage and 4-points??? The kids will be better for the experience with some league football under their belt's... but it frustrates me when we go for the older names like Holland, White, Yze, etc. and still lose by 60+ points. Nothing against any of those older blokes, they have been incredible servants for our club... but we have to look at the premiership clock, and I think that by the time we reach "premiership o'clock", the older blokes I have mentioned will be watching on well into retirement.
Demon Tragic 0 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Outs: Robbo - very sad Bell - not showing enough Yze - enough said Dunn - Doesn't cut it Ins: Davey - if fit, if not Maric Rivers - badly missed Morton - better off for the rest, will relish a game at the G with 50,000 Holland - Can do the job on Rocca whilst Rivers sweeps or provide a foward target for small forwards

Cards13 9,117 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 ! Then he can go down as the first player in history to miss a game with a broken nose. give him a face mask ala the NBA players, he'll suit up or his dad will belt him on the nose again
_becks_ 35 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I have just read a poster saying that there will be 8 changes! People this amount of changes will not be made. It will be four, maybe five maximum.
