Changes vs Pies (Queens Birthday)


What

Recommended Posts

you beauty.  we need Viney on Monday.   if we are to get anything out of this season we need a win, otherwise itll be 4 losses on the trot and all momentum gone

if he is 50-50 - for Viney that is pretty much 100%. unless the docs pull him, he wont pull out due to pain

The Legend continues to grow!

Viney won't get up, Two Changes 

Grimes for Omac

Kennedy for Harmes 

Yeh Viney was doing light duties with H this morning. Pretty sure he wont be a late Inclusion.

How dare the cub misinform us supporters about how long Viney would be out.  I'm outraged that playing with Buckley's head is considered more important.   Off to the microwave. I go....

I also agree but where to fit him in is the problem.

The two that immediately come to mind is Wags and Hunt but they've hardly done anything wrong. Maybe a rest would be possible but with the bye just around the corner it would hardly be warranted.

Replace Kent.

Defensive pressure Solid body. Experience.

Nor can I, but I cant imagine that will please too many on here

I wouldnt see him dropped either... more the case for whom ? 

Harrmes is off the boil, Benken  is bubbling over.  Youd expect maybe an ex Pie to revel in sticking the boot in ( again )

How the defence lines up is more about how their fwd lines up.

I believe the forecast is for a reasonably fair day, no rain. Perfect for footy at the G 

Go Dees, tear then one...

In: Grimes, Harmes

Out: Wagner, Kennedy

 

Cant see how Viney could get up. If he does would expect Bugg or VandenBerg to be out.

:wacko::unsure:...ummm.

hmmmmmm

I think that one change makes the most sense 

If Viney gets up (doubtful) could change to Viney for harmes and BenKen for Kent with Trenners to spend time in the forwardline to keep midfield rotation up. 

Fair day no rain? Puts big expectations on Garlett and Dawes to improve from last week. Conditions won't be an excuse if it's dry

but he is (very much) left handed, lh, with a high % of handballs

My bad, dc. It is his right hand.  Viney saw his surgeon on Monday and received a positive report on his right hand.  I guess this means he can handball: splint and bandage around his middle fingers - nice platform to hold the ball to handball with his left. :rolleyes:

I'm sure nothing fazes FIGJAM but I like that he has something extra to think about. To really mess with his head we can name Viney in the final 22 and when final lists are submitted 1hr before the game, replace him with an emergency, if necessary.

Edit: Don't know what to say dc.  Just saw this pic on our website.  It shows his left hand strapped.  So I was right the first time... 160609_Viney.jpg

Maybe this is a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing...:wacko:

Now we're really messing with Buckley's head.

Viney has a knuckle injury doesn't he? Whilst having surgery suggests lengthy recovery time in order for the bone to fully heal, I imagine the risks involved in breaking it again are less than other areas of the body. 

He'd have to hit somebody again with his hand or someone would have to kick his knuckle or something for further setback.

I feel like it's super important for him to play this week for a must win game for us. He can miss next week because I can't see us beating the swans in any way. And then there's the bye so that's two weeks off.

Yes, I'm a doctor.

Viney plays.

If he had played last week those two scenarios would have been probable.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
