Yeah, that's right, and I agree with you regarding this week.

What has Newton done to deserve a recall ? He's been AWOL for weeks...please...at this stage we should be building a forward structure around Bate & Miller :angry:

he's had around 15 shots at goal for sandy in the last 2 weeks... kicked 4 on the weekend on a day that was from all reports an extremely difficult day for key forwards...

not only that, but his game 2 weeks ago included 11 one %ers, 6 tackles amongst 13 marks... not sure how he fared in these areas on the weekend, but i think these performances warrant a call up...

he's obviously in form, and Bailey said he will reward form... so lets bring him in...

Cale will be brought back this week no doubt about it. We need some skill round the packs with Davey gone and Cale plays that role to a tee.

Im predicting a 25 possie game this week from the rake man with an efficiency rate of 92%.

Bring in McDonald for McLean.

Garland - Minson

Bruce - Johnson

Cooney - Dunn

Aker - Bartram

Hahn - Frawley (Big challenge)

Garland will get Murphy. Martin will get Minson

16 shots at goal in 2 weeks, 7 or 8 shots last week in terrible conditions for forwards with limited opportunities.

I'm not saying he should be in, but he hasn't been AWOL for weeks, he's played two pretty good weeks.

Garland will get Murphy. Martin will get Minson

I can see this happening for sure. I think Frawley will get a re-call in place of Martin though.

DB is quoted as saying those who performed well for Sandy are in consideraton. Frawley was close to our best on.

Is that the actual side as selected?

Bruce is in it, so I'm going to assume it's not your preferred side.

Don't think so Dan, it's too early and they usually name an extended bench for a Sunday game.

Don't think so Dan, it's too early and they usually name an extended bench for a Sunday game.

When do the players who are on the extended bench actually find out if theyre playing or not.

Are they told on Thursday they will be emergencies or are they told closer to game time?

Bruce is in it, so I'm going to assume it's not your preferred side.

Believe it or not, its the side I selected.

Who do you think Bruce will match up on Y_M?

Believe it or not, its the side I selected.

That's unusually sensible from you Y_M.

I agree with your side. I might keep Bode for another week though. Unlike most I'm not ready to chuck him in the scrap heap yet.

i think martin will be kept another week unless match ups demand that he is left out.
