BBB needs to lift or go back to Casey just like any other player. I'd rather JVR play if Brown continues his woeful form. Either way Weed plays as he is our only viable ruck/forward. 1

Players don't read these posts you do know. 1/ wait and see. Every team selection post has someone or more saying so and so shouldn’t be selected because they are a dud. 2/ I believe that some do. I think Disco posted prior to his debut thanking posters for their support.

I don’t know if any players read these posts. What I do know is that some players’ family members do.

If that’s the case, then it’s fortunate that I haven’t said anything too bad about ANB for a couple of years. And more than thankful, for once, that I live in Sydney. (She scares me)

After all, it was Tom McCartin who she wanted to “hunt down and kill” for punching “Bayles” in the ribs. And where do you think he lives?! 😆 Edited June 19, 2022 by WalkingCivilWar

Stu 1,075 Posted June 19, 2022 Posted June 19, 2022 If Daw is injured or unavailable for selection, I imagine we will go with May in for Turner, Weed in for Gawn, and Tomlinson in as sub. This will keep our structure consistent with how it has been all year. Weed will play Jackson’s usual role of second ruck/resting forward like he did against the Hawks. If Daw is selected I believe Weed will come in to replace Mitch Brown. Further, if Daw is suffering from mental health concerns right now, I’m really happy for the club to give him all the time and support he needs. The guy has literally stood at the precipice and stared down his own existence. The result of a game of sport pales into insignificance. 1

Seriously?

Hopefully he'll be back into the side in a month he's already better than Tomlinson in the back and allows Petty to pinch hit in the forward line. 1

dees189227 12,526 Posted June 19, 2022 Posted June 19, 2022 I'd still like to see Bedford get a full game
chook fowler 19,783 Posted June 19, 2022 Posted June 19, 2022 Hard to see a player with poor physicality such as Weed will be any good in the ruck but there is no one else, assuming Daw is unavailable. 1

Weid has actually filled the second ruck role decently in the past, it’s not his preferred position but I feel like as a forward he almost tries to avoid contact, whereas as a ruckman he knows he has no choice and it seems to settle his issues about the physicality of it. At the end of the day where we are at now is “decent” is the best we can get, we have injuries, last year we got a good run. We clearly have a very good best 22 but now we test the depth of the club, as well as the character of the players. Oliver, Trac, Viney etc will have to work a lot harder to win the clearances now and frankly I feel like they have been getting way too used to the armchair ride they’d had from Gawn. 1
layzie 34,528 Posted June 19, 2022 Posted June 19, 2022 So now we're thinking mental health concerns for Daw and not injury? 1 1
old dee 24,084 Posted June 19, 2022 Posted June 19, 2022 Does anyone know when the team is announced? Not sure to be honest why I want to know.

If that is the case the club has kept him off the injury report to protect his privacy and give him space to get well. The worst thing would be having it in the headlines or worse social media where really unsavoury people lurk and who knows what they might troll him about. This last comment isn't about your post, more a general comment but it may be best if the reason he hasn't been on the injury list doesn't get much airplay on DL. On the bright side he was in the pics when Turner's debut was announced. 1
