Again, Im sure the FD know wha they're doing - Grundy will dominate vs the 3 backsups... I guess if they're holding firm on philosophy of not bringing in folk who are under done then it makes sense.

Ta. That's interesting. I thought for sure they would play him

[Robbie57 1,996]

We have grown up, no rushing people back, picking people based on form you have to hand it to Goodwin his actions match his words.

No... to expand NO! Love taking the cash and listening to Eddie bleat. It may be unfortunate in the future to get less revenue because less Woods supporters show up due to our relative ladder positions but I want it all... smash'em and take their money.

The Filth still make good money on QB. 

They have infected the Ponsford Stand for all games i think??

I'd say the wording will change to "he's been ready to go for a few weeks but we've held him back, so he's got the training load right to come straight back in!".

As much as they say all players at the start of the season start at zero again, we know some start at zero* (the axtrix being, if your name is Jones, Lewis, TMac, Viney, Hogan, Watts, Gawn, Jetta or Tracc you'll get in no matter the circumstances) - probably a few I've forgotten. Some like Watts and even Jetta will be excluded in the pre-season but come season proper the rules change - and so they should.

Salem could be the only in although I have a sneaking suspicion Ben Kennedy might get a look in.

Why telegraph it now though? Why not wait until team selection? Just handing info to your opponents....

[beelzebub 22,338]

There's training on Sat ?

I think it depends on how the coaching group see Buggs performance the last two weeks, was he just unlucky in his goal kicking or does he need to go back and work on it? 

[Gator 16,921]

So Hogan has officially been ruled out.

I thought some on here claimed to have the good oil.

Seems not.

Not even slightly trying to be patronising. Pretty certain FD's are sophisticated places and have multiple plans in place before the game...dependent on a multitude of contexts.

Going to give him a run in the ruck in lieu of Spencil getting up. Allows us to move Pedo fwd and have Watts as a stay at home forward as well. 

Not sure the ball will get there, however.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,416]

Could we do no change?

Has Salem warranted an immediate return after a silly and undisciplined act? Does his overall form in 2017 gain automatic entry in our best 22?

I think they are concerned about Grundy around the ground and therefore our current blend can get an advantage here
