Ricky Petterd (collapsed lung) - to be advised

Adem Yze (hernia) – season

[WonnaJurah 5]

Guess Ricky will be out for the season.

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

Petterd will be the season you would think.

[Jaded No More 68,913]

Poor Ricky is all over the news, as every media outlet feels the need to remind us all how close he came to dying.

If he wants to take the rest of the year off, he should.

However, Chris Fagan and our club doctors have said that he could be back this season.

Get the feeling Bruce will probably play and Carroll should be alright.

So changes should be simple this week. Out: Ricky, In: Bruce.

What about Beamer? He's played a couple game in the ressies and I think he is a very important part of our future.

You would not think there is much point in rushing Moloney back?

But he's fit, he's played 2 games for Sandringham...

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

If he does not play again this year, that's almost two years out of the game.

He would want to make next year happen otherwise the game will pass him by.

I wish him well.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

You would not think there is much point in rushing Maloney back?

Given how much footy he has missed and IF he is fit then we should play him. He has missed a lot of football.

Madness, how much game time has Beamer had in the past two weeks?

[Rogue 585]

Future being the operative word.

He played one game for Sandy reserves and has just come into the Sandringham 1sts.

I don't think he's fit enough yet; he's certainly not dominating at Sandy yet from what I've read.

[Jonesy is the next captain 0]

Thats a might long list. Yeah what is the G-O with Moloney? We look like a better side with him around

That's enough to be AFL match fit IMO, who cares if hes only performing average, we need to get some match fitness into him ASAP, I cannot begin to describe how underrated the importance of his presence in the team is, he's one of my favorite players so this might be a tad bias but still.

In saying that, if the selection squad decide to give him 1 more week to prepare his body for AFL, then that's fine by me...

Ben Holland (nose) - test

Benny played against Tassie on the weekend. Is his nose only good at VFL level now?

That or they can't be arsed removing his name from the list?

[Pates 9,660]

David Neitz (hamstring) - test

What the hell, at the end of last week he was 2-3 weeks. IMO there is no point in risking him, keep playing Newts at FF and give him as much experience as being one of the main foward targets.

As for Moloney, i really hope he can shake this OP. When he's out on the park he's one of my favourite players, but he's got to get out there!

[WonnaJurah 5]

what about pickett to return ,any chance?

[Rogue 585]

what about pickett to return ,any chance?

He was named emergency vs Carlton, and isn't injured.

[beelzebub 23,364]

yes ...surely Neeta is a longer term probability..at least 3-4 ; absolutely no sense rushing back..might only harm the preseason and hence nest year.

Ive been wonderig about Beamer for some time. Some hard and uneviable decision may be made by this club as certain realities may overtake hopes and aspirations.

Carroll will be watched this week, but yod think hes better than evens to play.

[Rogue 585]

Retaining him would be a smarter choice than ditching him and getting an extra very low draft pick IMO.

[beelzebub 23,364]

it wouldnt be a matter of choosing to let him go erally, it may simply come down to a reliabilty/value for money / he's using a player's spot etc etc. some decisions are unplatable...but necessary. At full tilt Beamer is a gun, 1/3 fit and its the knackery!! thats life

Surely it comes down to exactly that - choosing whether to let him go or keep him.

As I said, I suggest retaining him is far better than getting a very low draft pick.

If his fitness means we're having this discussion in a year's time then sure, maybe it's the end of road. Way too premature to do now IMO.

[beelzebub 23,364]

I hear the sentiments..and I certainly hope he's on the mend. Otherwise really he's not adding to the equation, like it or not. If he doesnt play this year he will definitely be put under the microscope. This will sound harsh but there can be no rrom for pasengers in the team going forward, even if its a 1st class ticket !!

Hypothetical, he's traded at yeas end ...how is irrelevent , but he affords some value posibly to another team prepared to take a punt, or.....his injuries force him to call it a day. No return.

Its just a scenario....a plausible one even if not maybe probable.

remember...its about the team

[Rolling Stone 157]

How's this for an injury list:-

SYDNEY

Peter Faulks (groin) - test

Jared Crouch (hamstring) - indefinite

How do they do it year in, year out?

[Rogue 585]

Its just a scenario....a plausible one even if not maybe probable.

I can see where you're coming from, but I imagine we both think it's not worth delisting Moloney on the evidence so far.

I think Moloney's trade value would be extremely low, so I can't see that as an option. However, like any player I think that if the price is right we should look at trading. Moloney is one player where I can't see the market paying a price worth taking.

Anyhow, let's hope he is on the mend

[beelzebub 23,364]

agree.. would rather he came good :-)).. his penetratig kicks out of the middle , marked by a leading Newton....ah...we can dream :-).. thats a seriously lethal combination.. pin point kicking to a fella with glue dukes !! :-)
