Comrades, I was there today, and i agreed beforehand with Whispering Jack - a truck was coming, and we were the ones in the middle of the road.

Neitz will be out for a while. Newton has yet to play a game. It is time to play PJ at FF next week.

Sorry to break the news to you, but PJ is not the answer to our problems, not even close.

Agreed

But he is a quick fix and u can rotate all three ruckmen around: one FF, one Ruck and one bench.

Also bring in Dunn (if ready) for support even though i dont like the idea of Millar and Dunn in the same side we need them

Well apperantly Neita could be out for 3 weeks or more, and Robbo couldn't even walk into the rooms, so PJ may come in by default.

mmm they were saying robbo was ok...thats y they bought him on. guess its tender now. I trust larkins but will reevaluate mid week the injuries

PJ is a better option down forward than Jamar, more mobile and has played there most of his time as a junior and at West Coast. He can fill in the ruck role just as well as Jamar who only managed 9 hit outs today, against ruckmen who are average compared to the rest of the competition.

Jaded, I never said that PJ was a holistic solution to our multi-tiered woes. But we have a specific vacancy to fill, and I have nominated a candidate.

Ch. 7 news just said Robbo couldn't walk into the rooms, he was in that much pain.

He was running up and down the boundry trying to recover, why the hell did they bring him on with 5 minutes to go, when the game was gone anyways? He hurt it again as soon as he came on.

Stupidty from everyone involved!

If only Juice had had the ripper he was due against the cats he'd be the guy we'd look to. With his skill set, he's the kind of player that is capable of kicking 4 in a quarter, especially given he'd get the 3rd worst defender.

I would think Clint Bizzell would be closer to selection than PJ. He did play FF at geelong before he was made into a backman at the MFC.

Bizz and Newton are smokies for FF next week.

PJ is not an automatic choice. He might get the gig, there will be 4-5 players that will be in line for FF. A smokie might be the go to throw a very strong cats outfit offguard

Wrathchild, respectfully, the Bizz did not cut it at FF at Geelong. Whatever his place might be, he is no spearhead.

I have been wrong on many occasions. The same, yes, could be said of Yze Magic re some of his extravagant predictions. But both of us have faith in PJ. He showed enough in the most important game of 2006 to be given another try.

I'd love Newton to come in. It'd be our debutant against theirs (sort of). Wouldn't it be awesome if Carroll/Holland smashed Tomahawk and Newton got their 3rd best forward and kicks 4 in the first quarter!!!

I can hear it already...

I'd like to see PJ play CHF. Reason being he's not good at marking with his hands outstretched, either on the lead or overhead, so I wouldn't play him F/F. But he is capable of marking on his chest & gathering the groung ball cleanly, he's fast enough & mobile to be a contesting target at the key post & can chase & ruck the boundary.

Fergy's one who hasn't been mentioned as a forward option yet. He's had stints there with Sandy and shown a bit.

Dutchy's another option to come back in and play up front. I'd take these two over PJ in attack.

Bate's another one to consider. He did some of his best work at TAC Cup level playing FF.

Interesting times ahead.

If Davey was injured I'd consider PJ. I wouldn't consider him to fill a KP.

He's a 6"6 small forward.

We are definitely lacking at ground level in our forwardline.

I can't remember one crumbed goal we've had this season.

For that reason alone I'd bring in PJ as he is pretty good at ground level.

Dutchy will come in to cover Ottens or King.

Ferguson is not a forward, he doesn't have the smarts to know where to lead and he isn't very strong one-on-one.

If that's the options we have, I rather we bring in someone raw like Newton, who may end up doing nothing in the short term, but who at least will give us some insight into our future.

If Dunn has recovered from the operation, bring him back too. If he's not 100% match fit, play him out of the square all game where he doesn't have to do a lot of running.

PJ should not be given a role as a forward until he learns to mark overhead. It's a pretty basic skill for a guy his height playing football.

I agree.... PJ almost cost Sandy the game on Saturday. He doesn't deserve a spot in the team.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
