I’ve had some bad doses of man flu as well.

But if Clarry is training as reported (away from the group), it can’t be that bad.

That’s what I thought as well. Did I also hear that he actually showed up to training as well? I mean if you have the flu, you ain’t getting out of bed, let alone  rocking up to training.

It's a home game so should have GA access on your membership.

One can just tolerate the GA seating allocated to members, but if you get up for a coffee or snack, or even go outside of the ground for a cigar (and your chauffeur delivering the cheese platter from the the boot of the Roller in the car park), whatever seat you initially chose will be gone and those selected by no-one will be the only vacancies. It would be most acceptable if in future football seasons the MFC demanded first-level frontal seats for Members GA (instead of FA) entry. We could all get together, then, and swap French bries, camemberts and other acceptable nibbles for the upwardly mobile citizens without flaw.

Far out …still two sleeps and an afternoon nap to go. What a wait!

You show excellent taste Deemania and obviously understand the laws governing the status of the riff raff.

You would be a fine citizen of Romsey.

Great looking team on paper this week really should win pretty easily (assuming Gawn and Oliver are ok)

[Jaded No More 58,497]

McDonald dropped?

Must mean Petty is going forward again. 
I guess no Lynch for the Tigers and Lever back is allowing us to do that. 
 

My guess is also that Gawn will play most of the game at FF. Lowers the risk with the knee injury and gives us a proper focal point up forward.

Good to see Jordon in the 22.

An interesting group to choose a new sub from:  Laurie, Schache, Dunstan, D. Turner...

[dees189227 10,876]

I will be holding my breath that max gets through it.

Thought the same thing Jaded. Petty, JVR and Max must be the tall forwards. I like it. Lots of marking strength in that group.

Yep.... going all in on Petty & JVR with some Max assists

Smalls &  Fritta will also need to get to work

We’re a better team than last week. Should smash  the Tigers

Good opportunity for JVR to take control of the forward line. 

Will be interesting to see how he goes about it. 

Good luck young fella.

If McDonald can't hold down a spot with BBB out he must just about be heading for the exit. Not sure of his contract status, 1 year?

[Diamond_Jim 11,928]

Weird....Thursday TMac named in team and Schache can't make squad

Saturday... no TMac and Schache named as emergency

[Roost it far 6,239]

If Max doesn’t play does Schache come in??

Perhaps TMac’s back is stuffed from copping a knee in it last week 

[layzie 29,136]

Hope you like Petty up forward.

God Tom Sparrow is a cat with nine lives..

Dropping Tmac was the right choice. It had to be done and I think unfortunately for him he just spends his days at Casey unless we're smacked with injuries.

Don’t quite understand that logic, we are playing tall forwards made up of 2nd year player in van rooyen, a resting ruck and a unproven key back swinging fwd. All over a dedicated key fwd who kicked 4 goals only 2 games ago. Sure Tmac isn’t the bees knees but that lineup is asking for trouble.
