JakovichScissorKick 771 Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) No such thing as 'only a scratch match' ! This is the only MFC action this week as we arent playing March series. Important first hit out of the season for two of your young stars in Brayshaw and Fristch. Pickett on show again. Another chance for Mitch brown to impress ahead of Round 1. Jordon, Rivers, Sparrow., Bradtke.... so much potential there. Can Bedford step up and show what hes capable of? Edited February 27, 2020 by JakovichScissorKick
Demonland 74,431 Posted February 27, 2020 Author Posted February 27, 2020 I'm still surprised that Luke Jackson isn't playing. I get that they want to manage the loads of the younger players and perhaps they have him earmarked for early senior games so they don't want him to burn out. If that isn't the case then I'm baffled that he isn't playing in this game where he can get a taste of the ruck or play as a key forward or even some midfield minutes. I hope it's not this weeks mystery injury of the week.
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Hope Fritsch actually plays this week. 2

DubDee 26,675 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 these 6 day breaks are killing us... ? Gus is back! great news! only May and Gawn on our best 22 injury list! 1
old dee 24,083 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) The fact that we have to add 8 VFL players versus only 1 by North suggests to me we are going into this game under manned. My gut feel suggests like last week we will be in for a poor result scores wise. Edited February 28, 2020 by old dee

Neitz the Great 557 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 On my count we have 4-5 best 22 players and they have 13-14 so it will be a bit of a flogging me thinks
Damo 3,466 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) this is a bit disappointing. At least i can see others have the same issue and its not my PC, or inability to log in using my memebership. Working Now! Edited February 28, 2020 by Damo 1
Demonland 74,431 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 Dees kicking to the Northern end.
Demonland 74,431 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 Jordon & Sparrow in the guts too.
Demonland 74,431 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 Goal to Spargo from deep in the pocket. 1.0.6 to 0.0.0 1

Exactly I hate losing as much as the next guy but this scratch match is about getting run in the legs, game time into kids and hopefully no injuries. 3

Demonland 74,431 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 Behind to Kossy. 1.1.7 to 0.0.0
Demonland 74,431 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 Fritsch tapped heavily below the knee.
