Team changes

[DemonWorshipper 304]

Looks like Garland is fit considering neither Warnock or Macdonald were named in the emergencies!

[titan_uranus 25,042]

Wow. Did not expect Warnock to get the chop. Especially given Rivers holds his spot (ridiculous really).

Wonna unlucky. Thought he was tackling and applying good pressure in the forward line. MacDonald was to be expected.

The ins are good, Scully Trengove and Bate all make us better and we're better adapted to Carlton. I just wish it was Rivers out instead of Warnock.

[Bates Mate 4,508]

good changes, Warnock a bit stiff but he did get pantsed by the POD last week and carlton's midget forward line mean no match up

bring on the bluescum

[Strawbsodwyer 0]

whats going on with warnock? dropped because of carlton's pace in the forward line? would that thought rivers would have been the first to get chopped.

[PeterJames 46]

Mclean dropped as well!

[Bates Mate 4,508]

Looks like Garland is fit considering neither Warnock or Macdonald were named in the emergencies!

I think Cheney might get a deserved call up if Garland does not come up

[Vagg 2,439]

Would love to see McKenzie & Cheney squeezed into that side!

[Bates Mate 4,508]

Mclean dropped as well!

what!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting 8 months to boo him , I will now go with thanking Carlton everytime Jizzsperts gets a possesion

[titan_uranus 25,042]

Damn it. Really wanted McLean to be out there. That sucks.

[Nasher 33,617]

Reckon it's strange that both Warnock and Macdonald got the flick ahead of Rivers, and neither are emergencies. Oh well, not too shabby all the same.

Don't forget Cheney is named and can play tall as well

[buddha82 12]

Agreed. I think we almost look a little stretched down back without him there - who plays on Kreuzer or Jacobs while they're forward?

[Longsufferingnomore 1,637]

how did Rivers survive. Warnock has to be match ups or maybe sore cant be anything else.I would have liked to have McKenie in that side.

[Grand New Flag 3,227]

Dam! McLean getting dropped.

I really wanted to boo him and beat him.

[Jaded No More 68,972]

I have a feeling they are giving Rivers every chance to prove that he still has a spot in the side, and that they'll stick with him for the rest of the season before making a call.

Very surprised about Warnock though. He had a shocker last week, but I definitely see him as part of a our future.

So happy to see Scully and Trengove back.

Good team!

Disappointed about Brock, and I reckon the boys will be too. It was a bit of an added incentive to win.

Rivers is still in because of his leadership ability, I'd say. They really talk him up in that regard, so I'm not surprised he's still in. Similar to Bruce, there must be things he does that we simply can't see.

Cheney is definitely an option and seriously deserves it as he has been starring with the Scorps.

[Roost It 1,434]

Does he bring a stool!!

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Don't forget Cheney is named and can play tall as well

Can he play small to start with?

Not fast enough for the smalls. Not strong enough for the talls.

He would really want to do better than rely on that. Dropping marks and poor disposal are not the hallmarks of a leader.

[titan_uranus 25,042]

Agree.

He's pushed Warnock out of the team. He's going to have to give a heck of a lot more than what he's been giving to make that a good move.
