Team vs North

[godees 858]

Just read Lovell's report...ben holland 9 contested marks! There's no stopping the dukes

[Beamer 1]

I think I deserve credit here.

I picked Carroll & White as inclusions, and to Maric.

[Rogue 585]

Maybe Aussie is getting a rest from footy for a week, just for a freshen up. Maric in for him.

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised.

PJ, Martin, Valenti, Wonaeamirri/Maric please.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

How is Martin still not getting a position in the starting 18? Not that it matters as he'll play anyway.

Would love to see Maric debut, simply because it's an extra incentive to turn up despite a guaranteed loss, however can't justify dropping anyone from the bench to make room for him.

[45HG 1,539]

I'd drop Aussie for Maric.

Aussie is the only first year player to avoid getting a few weeks break this year, and from a distance he seems to be getting a bit tired in my opinion.

Give Maric a go in a home game in what is essentially a low pressure match, but one that would still give him a taste of AFL footy

That's what I was thinking. It's all about just getting one or two games into the kids to show them what needs to be done. The Roos are a hard side, Maric will learn a lot from getting 80 minutes in the forward fifty. If he blows them away, play him the following week, if he doesn't, drop him and let Wonna run riot after a bit of a rest again.

Or alternatively play them both an dwhat the Kangas defence squirm against 3 extremely skillful small forwards in Wonna, Maric and Sylvs. Plus having to deal with Miller. I like our forward line.

[beelzebub 23,313]

ahh that's right...we have ON field things to do hehe :D

Love to see Maric get a few minutes out there.

Well unles fate changes Ill be catering to a hospital returnee on Sunday..so will rely on all your eyes !!

Should be an interesting game..often the Roos_Dees ones are..Normally try to make a point of getting to these

A few Dees playing for future here.

make a change from all the off field hullabaloo at least

go Dees

And how would you know?

In fact, you wouldnt know [censored] from clay mate.

[H_T 3,043]

Ahh yes there is football.............

I/C: Aussie,Valenti, Martin, Johnson

If Junior does not come up, give it to Maric.

I would dearly like to see Maric get his first MFC game too.

[H_T 3,043]

I'd forgotten about the actual football...

Will the club survive long enough for the game even to be held?

Will anyone show up?

Answer: Yes

Well North and Melbourne are just about the 2 worst sides as far as crowds go so I'd say less than 30,000

What do you want, a medal?

Carroll and White should be put out to grass. Even if their form warrants it, with 6 games left in the year their inclusion is of little to no value to the side. I'd rather see an 18 year-old Addam Maric get 1 handball and 5 frees against and learn a hard footy lesson than have somebody who is in no way part of our future return to the side. Get the kids on, and give them game time.

That's what I thought too, Wonna was a little quiet last week..

IN: McDonald, Maric (debut)

OUT: Wheatley (Calf), Wonaeamirri

He won't play. Garland, Warnock and Martin all deserve their spot.

Why would you bring in Carroll? No need and Bailey won't do it.

Good idea lets drop the nucleus for the next 10 years for chopper.

Or better yet, squeeze him in by dropping someone like Wona, Morton or CJ. Who cares if building those young guys to understand each other so we are prepared for the next 10 years.

I don't know whether you understood and agreed with me, and your sarcasm drowned out the sentiment, or if you have totally misread my post. When I say 'put out to grass', I don't mean put them on the field, I mean put them out to pasture. White has been a tremendous servant for the club, but his playing days are finished in any meaningful sense. Carroll is just finished.

what he said.

[youami 54]

but wona taken out more so to freshen him up for the last few rounds. i think he'll miss two games, maric will get 2. wona back for the round 19 clash, fresh and ready to go.

That's funny.

Hope Maric gets a game or two. Don't know who to leave out, maybe a slight injury concern in the starting 18.

[Beamer 1]

I dont want a medal.

I just think it was ironic that so many disagreed with me and yet both Carroll and White were included in our extended squad.

[Andys_demons 0]

Maric is defintely in and I've heard also Carroll.

Outs would therefore be Wheatley and Wonaeamirri.

Not sure if there are any other changes.

they were in the squad last week and didnt play.

the squad means jack really. the chance of them getting a game is very very low. especially if they are not named on the field ala mcdonald...
