I hope this isn't a sick joke.

Petterd and Moloney dropped?

[mikeod 21]

Surprised we see no Rivers - and also surprised to see Moloney out. I didn't think he was the worst by a long shot.

Petterd and Moloney dropped?

seems a bit stupid

Great no Rivers again.

How the hell did Moloney get dropped. He's one of our only players with balls.

And how did Weetra and Garland survive.

[Nasher 33,615]

Colour me perplexed. Surprised Moloney was dropped, but not that surprised Petterd was dropped. Young or not, his game the other day was average.

Glad Yze is out, and happy with all the ins. Disappointed about no Rivers though. Hope it's not bad news.

I would have been happy to see Petterd get another crack, and am happy that Garland and Weetra have been given another opportunity.

[LeBron James 41]

No rivers, whelan? Moloney and Petterd dropped?

Oh god....

[ucanchoose 1,816]

I don't care about the rest of the team as long as Yze got dropped. Thank goodness for that!!!!!!!!!

[Guest MFC4Life]

I'm speechless. This makes absolutley no sense to me except for Yze.

[ucanchoose 1,816]

Although maybe this week Miller can play CHF

[beelzebub 23,364]

Hmm.. cant say Im upset to see Adem 'rested' in the Magoos... Am suprised about Petterd...maybe hes a bit underdone after all. I dont think Weetra deserved to go down ( not compared to others ) Moloney

How isnt Rivers a starter ??

For the answers to these and other questions....go see him >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[IWAP 170]

On the positive side, you've got to love those ins

All 3 will be important contributors to our side in 08

[Bruce Almighty 0]

Moloney dropped! he was the only one that tried!

We must be tanking!

[godees 861]

Cannot believe Moloney was dropped. What is the match committee on? (I can only hope this is some attempt to manage his OP by not pushing him too hard too early)

Rivers not in - are we tanking already...

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Moloney dropped! he was the only one that tried!

We must be tanking!

i refuse to believe that moloney has been dropped. Maybe he didnt pull up 100% given he did miss most of last year??

good to see bartram, sylvia, and dunn in, high hopes for all 3

rivers and wheels next week hopefully

[Jaded No More 68,913]

I don't think Moloney would have been dropped... which can only mean one thing.... injury. ARGH!!!

Where the hell is Rivers?

[Nasher 33,615]

I don't think Moloney would have been dropped... which can only mean one thing.... injury. ARGH!!!

He's in the emergencies though. Sure he's injured?

[dees_rule_4eva 22]

Very disappointed to see Moloney dropped. He was clearly one of our better players. Although on the positive side, Yze getting dropped is a good thing - as is seeing Sylvia, Dunn and Bartram in.

'belzebub59', it may be that rivers is pulling up a little sore after VFL matches, if so they may think he won't stand up to the the extra stresses of AFL YET.

[Mousey 47]

Rivers?

Wow Why!!!

Yze out good!

Moloney out!???? WTF!!! he was one of the best!!! Surely this cant be for on-field performance? Maybe off-field!! Only reason i can think off!!!

[Doggo 32]

I don't think Moloney would have been dropped... which can only mean one thing.... injury. ARGH!!!

I think you may be right Jaded.

Dean's playing a bit of funny buggers IMO...

Moloney, dropped? Ahead of Bruce, Green, Wheatley, White, Robertson and the plethora of other 'hacks' from last weeks performance...

You've got to be kidding... !

[Jaded No More 68,913]

He's in the emergencies though. Sure he's injured?

We'll see if he plays for Sandy this week or not.

I can't believe they would have dropped him. He was probably one of our best out there.

Absolute stupidity to drop two young players in Moloney and Petterd, who both had reasonable games, and leave in a whole host of senior players who are not pulling their weight (for a change ).

[The Emblem 1]

Moloney

Yes shame no Rivers, and with that Full Forward line the Doggies are going to be running the ball out of defence so fast my heads spinning already.

Surely DB is having a lend of us, we could not possibly line up like that and be serious about winning!

Petterd was rubbish on the weekend. IMO he was worse than either of Green or Bruce (which is clearly what you're getting at). Yes he had plenty of friends, but I certainly wouldn't have described his game as "reasonable". Young or not.

I've got no explanation about Moloney though, assuming no injury. I didn't think he was bad enough to be dropped.

The fact is he still has shown a lot more than Garland and Weetra.
