Named on the extended bench, still wondering if they will play him or not.

Fergo the only definite to play out of the ins

Rivers will be missed again, hopefully fergo will prove me wrong that his time has gone

I don't think ferg will play, and I hope he doesn't.

I would rather give Warnock another week, than watch Ferguson perform the same old tricks.

Great to see Brocky... hopefully he plays.

And Ricky named as soon as he is fit, the boy has certainly made an impression.

Don't think they should risk Wheels, and I'm glad they are giving Beamer a break.

Bench IMO will be: PJ, Jones, McLean, Petterd.

P.S.- What is going on with Jared??

Posted

But he is named in the squad? If there were doubts wouldnt they name him on the extended bench?

Who would he actually match up with?

Wheels good matchup for Armstrong?

Doubt he'll play. We may as well keep Warnock in for another week.

I can only assume that Ferg is listed in the 18 because he'll be playing.

From the interchange PJ will play and I'd take Whelan, McLean, and Petterd. Not sure if that unbalances our structure - perhaps Warnock will get the nod ahead of one of those three.

Rivers not playing is a blow, but we're getting closer to a full-strength team.

PS. I'd be playing any of our best players if they're fit - we don't want to our relatively young team get blown out of the water after playing a couple of decent games.

Yeah, I saw that AFTER I posted, and edited my post accordingly.

I should really learn to read properly :wacko:

Ferg in the starting 18

This means he will definitely play

To those of you havent figured out this rule by now, may God help you

P.S.- What is going on with Jared??

The original, persisting hamstring soreness has apparently translated more recently as back soreness. Might be wrong but didn't he only play the one NAB against the Tigers, in which case he's only managed 4 games out of 11. Seems the situation is more complex than some are prepared to admit.

Posted

Ferguson is a much better match up for Hansen than Holland. He will def (obviously) play.

It all depends on McLean and Whelan fitness but I hop the final bench is: PJ, Jones, Whelan, McLean.

Petterd, Holland and Warnock to miss.

Posted

But do u choose to miss Pettard if he is 100%?

The kid has nothing wrong at all other than suprising the hell out of me and playing bloody awesome?

Posted

Whelan, brock and pettard wont play. if they were ready they'd be named on the ground.

I'm getting very concerned about rivers ... how about the club come out for once and tell us what the f*** is going on, instead of treating us with the usual 'it is a one week late withdrawl hammy" crap. it is not like it is round 21 and we are fighting for a top 4 spot. we're 0-7 for christ's sake.

Rest Moloney till he is right - if that is round 1 2008 well so be it. do the OP operation if need be ala powell

That is a good point.

But if they definintely not going to play they wouldn't be emergencies. My guess is they are on the bench because they have a fitness test. If they pass, they play!

Don't forget the game is 3.5 days away! That's half a week! Nothing is final.

Posted
Where did ya find that our Jaded?

Big Footy Eagles Board has the inclusions as Cox, Fletcher and Morton. Embley was already out will remain so. Army is a popular choice to be dropped but you'd think he'd get a game against his old side.

Posted

Yeah exactly. It seems strange that McLean and Whelan are named on the bench - I would have thought they are either in the seniors or not playing at all. McLean and Whelan should never play at Sandy.

Posted

I would of thought Holland would be a good match up for Lynch and Carroll to get the third tall. It wil be interesting to see who is finally named in the 22, Brock had a broken bone so if they name him he is right to go because they would of scanned it this week. He won't be fit and hopefully if he does play doesn't flattern him for the following week.

Posted

My guess is that they will be given till sunday to prove their fitness.

Fergs to do rivers role... needed on the wide expanse of Subi (maybe Ricky-Bobby coud do that role but probably giving him a chance to prove his fitness also).

If they play we will see no ward, holland and maybe wanock.

We couldn't be this lucky could we

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
