Changes v Carlton

[Demonised 1,373]

Cometh the time, cometh the Spencil. Bring Big Jake in to help out Max as he's still getting back into it, have him take it up to Kreuzer while Max can cause havoc in the forward line. And he's not injured, which makes him stand out at the moment.

Totally unnecessary. We are all covered with Tom and Pedo in the ruck.

The last thing we need is to be even less mobile, given how depleted our midfield is.

I rather plonk Gawn at FF and let Tom ruck for most of the game if Gawn is struggling for fitness.

confucious say, team who makes 5 or more changes rarely wins

unless absolutely required I would not make any more than needed through injury. Certainly Wagner would stay in if I was picking the team. not many had a good game on the weekend

I notice That a debutant Ruckman for Port Melbourne won the BOG medal against Jake Spencer.  And some fools on this site believe he is AFL standard. FCS Melbourne get rid of him. 

If this post is correct I doubt Spencer will be getting a call up.

...and nor would he add any value.

Will we be the first team this year to sit someone on Docherty? It's like he is a ghost that no-one can see.

I'd put ANB on him make him accountable and actually defend.

I know injuries are a part of football, but thanks to the AFL with giving us a 6 day break we have lost a lot of our players, this makes me so p$*$^% off.

Not happy!

4 games in 18 Days 4 ÷18=4.5 days recovery on average between games how can this be agreed to by the club are we still getting handouts from the AFL?

not quite.

1st game - 6 day break - 2nd game - 6 day break - 3rd game - 6 day break - 4th game.

as they say ... don't mention the war .... but week after this we have our famous Darwin expedition.

Great time to totally stuff up our players for a few dollars. Better clubs would not expose themselves to the risk.

The only good thing is that the next game is against Port which is probably a loss anyway before the following must win against North.

The sad thing is it is probably the worst team we would have fielded since 2015.

[SFebes 4,884]

We just need to find a way to win the next game or two before key players come back. Even if only by 1 point each.

But teams we play in Darwin have won the week after so it should be no different for us.

Frost is doubtful.

They just showed the team training on 9 news and Frost was moving fine.

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Why has the club not released any word on Viney and Tyson?

There are pics and rumours floating around that Viney has gone in for surgery?

This is seriously a concern. Usually no injury news is BAD news!!!

Apparently it's a specific surgery relating to the Plantar Fascitis muscle where they actually cut the tendon to help it repair.

Apparently if it doesn't fully tear, it can just continue to be painful and not heal properly.

As was Jack Watts last week. I actually think,and hope, he will play. All I am saying is that if he experienced hamstring tightness during the game but continued that is a different story from cooling down afterwards or a day or two later. From bitter experience, I have played out games with tightness,feeling OK,not great early in the week and pushing to hard in the next game.Having said that, trust our conditioning and fitness staff to make the right call. Still think there is some doubt.

Just trying to cheer up the place. Frost was with main group, bending down, touching grass and getting back up like a spring chicken from the snipet they showed. Can ill afford to lose more run.

It'd be nice to have Tyson available and Hogan, Watts & Garlett back this week!

Very true mate! We just have to scrape through the next few games with wins and get some soldiers back. The bye at the end of year may do us a favour like the dogs last year

why couldn't it be 3-4 rather than the dreaded 4-6 (aka the Black Death)
