Good to see Blease, Howe, Strauss and Cook...but no Tapscott?

[Range Rover 1,935]

Fitzpatrick ??

[old dee 24,000]

Good to see Blease, Howe, Strauss and Cook...but no Tapscott?

He needs to get on the park soon

two years with little return will not be good.

I get a faint Tilbrook smell here!

Looks Good but all muscle and not much action.

Hope to god he plays somewhere in the next few weeks.

[Bates Mate 4,511]

I'm most looking forward to seeing

Howe - hopefully stand on someones head

Blease- Never seen the kid other than you tube hope to see some of that pace and footskills

Morton- still don't believe he has bulked up

Watts- Obviously

Martin - more so to see what they will do with him and if has improved his skills

Maric- traiing the house down all summer apparently

Spencer - If only for his unco kicking style, gets me everytime

[Demons 32 235]

Can't wait to see Howe and Blease in action...

Looking forward to the usuals such as LJ, Col, Trengove etc

Naturally pumped for the golden one Jesus H Watts

But really NAB cup is great for the first year players, so Cook, Nicholson, Johnstone, Evans, Mcdonald, show us what ya got!!

Yes Warnock, Fitzpatrick and Lawrence, there's 46 on the list

[TrueGRITS 0]

Man Old55 - you pipped me to the post literally!

I was so proud of myself for figuring out who was missing...

Anyone have any ideas why McKenzie is out?

[old55 23,833]

Man Old55 - you pipped me to the post literally!

You gotta get up early - leave the pirate in the sack ...

Hope to god he plays somewhere in the next few weeks.

Probably a bit early to be writing off his 2nd year in the 2nd week of February...

Fitzpatrick ??

Fitzpatrick is injured. He was on crutches on the sidelines at the I/C game.

What's the story with Jones? Is he just being rested?

[mauriesy 7,410]

Liked this from the AFL web site:

"AN UNDER-STRENGTH Melbourne side will kick off round one of the NAB Cup with five of its best 22 sidelined.

Key players James Frawley (pectoral), Michael Newton (broken wrist) and Ricky Petterd (hamstring) are all injured, while Nathan Jones (soreness) and Mathew Warnock will also miss the round-robin clash against Adelaide and Port Adelaide."

[Je Roos Salem 661]

ahh soreness for Jones.. i see

[Guest Thomo]

From the Melbourne website in the article naming the squad

"Tom Scully (knee soreness) has been named in the initial squad, but is under an injury cloud. Robert Campbell (achilles), Jack Fitzpatrick (foot), James Frawley (pectoral muscle), Nathan Jones (back soreness), Jordie McKenzie (groin soreness), Michael Newton (wrist), Ricky Petterd (hamstring) and Matthew Warnock (ankle) will miss through injury."

Geez that's harsh. Tilbrook cost us a fortune and was supposed to be a superstar.

Tapscott's a kid.

ID I don't think I was writing him off.

It is just disappointing that he is not being involved in practise matches etc

after a bad year with injuries.

Lots of good comments about him when he was drafted and so far he has been injured most of the time

since arriving.

I just hope he is not all "looks" and we get to see him play somewhere in the next few weeks.

[old dee 24,000]

Geez that's harsh. Tilbrook cost us a fortune and was supposed to be a superstar.

Tapscott's a kid.

And he needs to get on the park soon!

Because another year like last year would not be be good for his future.

The competition is littered with players who would have been great if they were not constantly injured.

[Steamin Demon 401]

I'm really looking forward to seeing Howe and Sammy Blease, I have previously posted Sammy probably wouldn't make it. I hope this Friday I am shot down in a sceaming heap. BTW LOOK OUT I SEE A JURRAHCAINE COMING !!!

[Whispering_Jack 31,131]

The injuries have given seven players the opportunity to make their debuts in senior AFL company. 

Not all of these players will represent the club on Friday night but a few will:-

Sam Blease, Lucas Cook, Michael Evans, Jeremy Howe, Cameron Johnston, Tom McDonald and Daniel Nicholson.

That's the exciting thing about Friday night. We can worry about injuries when the season starts.

Cale Morton out for 6-8 weeks with finger tendon injury.

I got a laugh outta this one too Maurie. Juice has arrived...pretty high raps for a rookie.

Is that a sick joke or are you being serious???

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Is that a sick joke or are you being serious???

no it's true. Shouldn't be seeing him and Frawley til about round 3 but who knows

WJ has nailed it. The NAB cup is all about getting some glimpses of the unknown players and we will have a feast in this regard on Friday

Sauce?
