Oh please- give me a break...

What about Petty ? I thought he played well against The Town..

Well at least the behind the play villain - Greene will not be there ( still two weeks to serve )

It will happen now I assure you

I understand what you are saying but as Goody says it is all about Team balance and if means that other players in the 22 change around to cover a position then there is always other players to fill the void. A classical example is Gus moving to the HB while JJ covers the Wing position - which he did with class last week.

totally agree 100%

won't happen.

Thought Petty played a serviceable Game tonight. Petty in for Tomlinson for mine. Never been a fan of Smith but even I must confess Smith has played better toey this year. So, maybe Smith for Hunt but in any case changes will be minimal knowing Goody's track record.

Must be a very unstable ground at Willie cause the ground keeps moving up and down. I notice the players become fuzzy at times... I put it down to the fog...

Hey, Mr someone scored a Goal for us.. Love watching a black screen....

The telegraph line seems to need repair again.. Someone needs to pedal faster. The Camera work is disgusting.. Like it's primitive stuff... anyway where are BBB's goals I ask ? Can someone please contact the Post Master Generals department and give them a new bike so they can pedal faster... Hell, there was better reception watching the test pattern in 1906

BBB for Tomlinson and move T Mc to CHB while we have the luxury to do it. T Mc is too valuable an experienced player to not try that. By the way T Mc had a better AF score than The Weed against Port.

Just hope Wines does not have Covid more to the point. Yep, hope he is OK

in: BBB AND Smith out: Hunt and The Weed

Frankly BBB, although I thought he would be in the Team today, in fairness has not trained all week. Goody and the selection Panel are renowned for limited changes and the mantra that all players should be seen as 100% fit. OK I was proved wrong but clearer heads have prevailed @ selection... That's why I would make a really bad selector.

Is that factual ?

Slightly different: Waiting for Bowser to break the record for most consecutive game wins from debut. = 18 ( according to Gawny)

Because their are other players ahead of him and as I said previously on this thread it is all about Team balance these days with changes while we are winning kept to a minimum. T Mac can be utilised in other areas of the ground in a productive manner. Watch this space @ Team selection

You make a lot of sense but frankly I cannot see T Mac being dropped.

My point is that Goody did play T Mc at CHB on occasions in round one / two through need and even Goody admits that we have a good second string defense right now but it can only get better with the return of the fab four, and I say that based on the fact that we have Lever, Petty, Salem and Hibbo out so that represents over 70% of our "best" defense in rehab OR not in our "best" Team. e.g. the 2021 GF side. So I still see room for improvement when these guys get into form and return. Maybe all four, maybe just three...That will place pressure on our then Casey list and that's a positive for the year ahead so long as injuries are stable as they were in 2021through 2022.... Right now I feel T Mc has the attributes to assist the back seven given we have an inform Weed and BBB. Versatility with the Team grows even more so in the year 2022 as Gus did a few weeks ago on the HBF, now on the wing as against the Gliders....( BOG) Versatility is the name of the game at the Demons in 2021 and through to 2022 and beyond. That is what good sides do. We do it well. But hell what do I know. I am just a passionate supporter like everyone else looking for 2022 glory. We all have our views and we all want the same outcome.

Sorry. I did leave that out and my answer would be = Hunt who needs to get some dare back in his game. I still am a fan of no 29 but consider others ahead of him right now. Dunno who the second player would be but I just have a hunch that Goody will go as is.... and this selector will be ignored...lol

Look, I think you are part on the money except how can you not include BB , I agree , and then retain The Weed ? Frankly if I were a selector (and thank God I am not) I would bring BB back, retain The Weed and move T Mc to CHB to strengthen the second string back seven till Lever, Salen, Hibbo and Petty are available then re start our thinking then. Like, push the problem out till we have to make a really hard decision...lol

Brown should come out of isolation to take on the Power at the Adelaide Oval, but will not have trained with the team all week. Gee !!! I personally would play BB @ FF and The Weed @ CHF and move Mc D to CHB.. But to be honest Goody will be reluctant to change a winning formulae and BB may just fall short of selection. I would bring in Lever @ the expense of Hunt though.

Locked away till the end of 2024 is our Bowser.

I apologise, you did include them.
