GawnWithTheWind

I'd say Dawes hasn't pulled up well. Neeld was adament that Clark is playing.. So I would say they are taking Clark, Sellar and Pedo as the talls for the forward line. Otherwise we will be verrrrry top heavy

Pederson, Rodan, Byrnes and Gillies are all named too. No mention of Dawes.

I have done about 5 of these, but final one coming up to this week. FB: Garland - Frawley - Terlich HB: Watts - Gilles - Dunn C: Blease - N.Jones - Viney HF: Sylvia - Dawes - Howe FF: Sellar - Clark - Byrnes R: Jamar - Grimes - Rodan I: Jetta - Toumpas - McKenzie S: Trengove Match Ups: Frawley - Schultz Garland - Westhoff Gilles - Butcher Terlich - Ebert McKenzie - Ebert (lock down role) Jones - Boak (just beat him) Viney - Wines

Love it

FB: Garland - McDonald - Terlich HB: Dunn - Frawley - Watts C: Viney - N.Jones - Blease HF: Kent - Clark - Howe FF: Byrnes - Dawes - Jetta R: Jamar - Grimes - Sylvia I: Rodan - Sellar - McKenzie S: Toumpas E: Pederson - Gillies - Nicholson - 7 Debutants - McKenzie to do a job, otherwise not in the 22 based on talent alone - Sellars form gets him in over Pedo - Nicho and Jetta very stiff. Terlich based on form. - Kent to be subbed off halfway through the third and Toumpa to be let loose

Broke his hand or fractured his hand yesterday I believe?

This is assuming Blease/McDonald/Clark/Dawes all get up and Trengove needs another week. FB: Garland - McDonald - Terlich HB: Watts - Frawley - Dunn C: Blease - Jones - Grimes HF: Howe - Dawes - Kent FF: Sellar - Clark - Byrnes R; Jamar - Rodan - Sylvia I: Viney - Jetta - McKenzie S: Toumpas E: Gillies - Davey - Tapscott IF McDonald is out - Gillies in IF Blease is out - Davey comes in Key Matchups: McDonald to Shultz Frawley to Westhoff Garland to Brad Ebert McKenzie to Boak Wines to Viney

For me, I go to alot more games then just the MFC. That is the real benefit of MCC memberships

Billyboy... Yep, there is always exceptions to the rule. However, from my general take of the MCC members around me, MOST could afford to spend the extra $60 to help the club out. It is a common fact that the MCC members are generally more financially capable then the average (due to the history of the MCC and the whole waiting line shenanigans) $60 is a round of beers at the MCG anyway. SOME need to lift their game.

It is true, but at the same time pathetic by those supporters. You can get a low MFC/MCC package for $60!

4G has nothing to do with it. Hopefully they aren't going to be videoing it off their phones. Casey isn't exactly Liam Jurrah Remote... it has cable. I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't allowed to stream it live. But I would be happy with a recording to watch the following few days

As fantasy players I am assuming... Tuck is a great fantasy player

Wines may have a point to prove on Sunday and also Round 1.

Yep agreed. I think although Dawes didn't get much of the footy, he did impact the contest enough to show some help. Wasn't a terrible game for him. As for Martin, Athletic yes.... Smart and talented............. Jury is out. Every time he played on and tried to kick around the man on the mark may result in less years of my life.

I am feeling that they are taking a VERY precautious approach to this injury. I'd say if we were playing finals, it may only be a 2 weeker... I'd say he is a fair chance for round 1. Just my opinion......

Calm down buddy

Do we see Jetta and Nicholson playing in the same backline? Ideally you have two main talls, one third tall/small, two attackers and one lock down small. Talls: Frawley + McDonald Sellar/Gillies/Pederson Third: Garland MacDonald Attackers: Watts + Dunn Grimes/Frawley Lock Down: Nicholson Jetta/Tapscott/Terlich

Boak is a fair point. I am yet to see him tear apart a game though. I guess he would shut him completely out of the game. Pedersons supply wasnt great, I am hoping he just needs to adjust...

Wanted to gather some thoughts after our first real hit out and see what people are thinking for Round 1 v Port. FB: Garland - McDonald - Nicholson HB: Watts - Frawley - Dunn C: Grimes - Jones - Blease HF: Howe - Pederson - Toumpas FF: Davey - Dawes - Byrnes R: Jamar - Sylvia - Viney I: Jetta - Sellar/MacDonald - Rodan S: Kent E: McKenzie, Magner, Gillies Reasons McKenzie - Who is worth stopping against Port? His foot skills are horrendous, and is a liability because of this. Comes in to do jobs as needed. Magner - Viney/Jones/Rodan fill his role better. Can't have another clearance hardnut in the team Gillies - Hope he shows some more in the other NABs, at the moment is fighting with Sellar/Garland for that other tall defender role.

Can we confirm its not Wattsy?

What gets released to the media and what actually occurs can be a completely different thing. They may have him on a modified program, which may last another 5-6 weeks, so therefore they can promote someone else for the 8 weeks.. then when Gawn becomes available again for selection, the rookie can step down. Not sure there is toooooo much to worry about.

Any news on the squad? Are we releasing any of our guys to play in the match? Is it on ABC again this year? Buddy Franklin named captain, good signs for him, seems like he is maturing into a leader... Cheers.

The glove has changed the NFL. Ridiculous catches are being had now.
