MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION

[CBDees 3,167]

I thought I read somewhere that pederson is out with illness- replaced by Strauss? Can anyone confirm?

As of 1.00pm Saturday, the AFL App still has Pederson in and Strauss as emergency.

[Sir Why You Little 37,242]

Jesus i really hope people inside the club read this thread because it really sums up where the MFC is (or isn't) at this stage.

The diehard supporters are in here. We are the ones who buy memberships NOW for next year, and even we are losing interest in this trainwreck right now.

Gold Coast $1.12 says it all. I feel disgusted and very angry because it is all true.

They haven't yet announced the final teams for tonight's games. (I think they announce the final teams at the same time as the sub - so about one and a half hours before the game)

I am preying that Strauss does come in though! (that would mean I have something to look forward to - doesn't make the losses as bad when you are studying the new comers)

I hope our new coach watches (or commentates) tonight and pencils in his new team.

At least the cricket is on as well....

Luxbet only gave me $1.09

Thank god, and we've gotten on top early too. Gazza's finally getting some reward. Nice little haul in the first innings.

[P-man 13,366]

In fact stuff the game, let's talk Ashes.

Is Watson a problem in that team? Rumour has it that he and warner hate each other..

Can make that rumour #426 about this side. I saw him and Clarke having a laugh on the field yesterday, looking like best buddies, and they supposedly hate each other too. I wouldn't pay much attention.

Watto's been bowling very well actually, from memory he's been the most economical and taken some vital wickets. Just needs to contribute with the bat. I like him dropping down to 6. I think he could do well there. He's never convinced me as an opener.

(We better not turn this into an Ashes thread btw :D)

True, we'll get pounced on.

Hey! If we abuse each other, that's allowed

I'd put Warner on Gazza and tell him to treat Gazza like he did to Root.

Siddle at CHB, to run up through the middle all game with the ball, deliver it, turn around and do it again and again.

Silicon on the goal posts at our end.

And Watto to be the sub - because I'd perversely enjoy the sight of the nancy boy sulking yet again.

Nice...very clever

[Sir Why You Little 37,242]

Watson has bowled very well this series. We need him without Pattinson.

[Guest]

Strauss and Nicho in for Pedersen and Howe..

Davey sub, good to see Strauss get a go

Bird goes to FF with Lyon as the crumber.

Yep, I like where this is going.

Howe dropped??

Rapt about Strauss.

[deanox 10,026]

We were too tall last week and gws exposed that so interesting changes, especially with Gawn out as well.

[P-man 13,366]

Please god let Strauss show something. I seriously need something to inspire me out of this game. I'll take just about anything.

Only good on sticky, slow wickets wyl.

Patto's a great bowler...and he can bat.

Patto is great, but that backbone is not well JR

Any chance Cummins will ever get back?

How come these blokes do their backs in and McGrath and Courtney Walsh played a combined 30 years between them and never had a niggle??

Too much short order cricket.

The bodies are not conditioned for Test bowling imo

I hate 20/20.

It's fun live, though.

Good atmosphere.

Bulldogs just beat Carlton.

The beer's kicking in and the Blues lost.

Super coach, [censored] list still doesn't work!! Ha! ha!
