Woud be no surprise.....fits the mould of Hardwick's favourite convenient scapegoat - the non-first rounder kid who was only average but still better than at least half-a-dozen of his favoured & immune hacks.

Hardwick keeping faith with his boys. They owe him one.

Donut a bit a stiff. Can understand his demotion but doesn't set a great example when you leave certain blokes in the team after the way they played against GC. I think Rance has finally blown his foot out from carrying Troy Chaplin for 12 months.

Edit: Good to have the creep back

Yes he is, he doesn't stands up and has been very average for a few years now. McDonough, Knights, Gordon, Arnot & Lloyd should be played before him. Do something Newman.......

You've only just worked that out  :o

Got to feel for McDonut, granted I am not a fan as such but I thought he was a lot better against GC than a number of others - sends a very poor message indeed (IMHO)

At least they didn't drop Griffiths  :-\

Gee I'm just not sold on this team...really thought Lloyd and Knights could of come in to mix it up a bit and provide some run....Grimes I can understand because he always keeps his fitness and God do we need him down back! Probably on Waite. But hell, I don't think we have the pace... :-\

Title: Re: Official team vs Carlton
Post by: the claw on March 26, 2014, 08:37:43 PM
on mcdonough. while a bit harsh dropping him after just one game to me he looked out of his depth.  personally if chasing a better current option i  would have liked to see one of gordon or knights come in for him. id nprefer to see him play in front of some named if for no other reason than the experience.
i see peterd has been named forward again. how a edwards did not get picked in his place is beyond me.

i gotta agree with a lot of posters here. we dont pick players on form  or for position we pick players who we like the most. they are usually spineless or lacking in basic skills or both. rfc the club where glass half fulls get long service leave.
terry hardwick come on down son. enjoy your contract while you can. why because its starting to look like your another another in a long line who dont have the balls to see a rebuild right thru.

Rance's omission is huge. He is our best backman. I'm worried Henderson will towel us up now. I'm pleased to see King back in as he is a huge presence in the forwardline and creates goals through his aggression, pressure and uncompromising attack on the ball. I'm hoping the bigger ground suits our spread and helps players like Vickery and Griffiths.  :pray

Not very confident....God I hate Carlton  :banghead

I agree Rance being out of the side is a big loss. I am glad King is back in the side. Need people of character in the team. Thank god no more Eddy Betts but need to watch Gibbs. He killed us last year and will do it again if not taken care of. Given it is going to rain today would like to see them make a late change and bring in Biscuit. How Petterd survived stuns me. It shows weakness by the selection panel.

Post by: RollsRoyce on March 27, 2014, 07:25:53 AM
I'm pretty disappointed with these selections, but not really surprised. There were a lot worse than McDonough last week, but he gets scapegoated. Case in point: watch Dimma's dissection last week, and he refers to Grigg's "lack of defensive accountability" ( I am paraphrasing him word for word here.) It may only be one incident, but it's a quote which defines that particular squib.
Pet Turd is another one who just flabbergasts me. He brings absolutely NOTHING to the team, yet is an automatic selection every week. "Cameo" Vickery had better be on notice too. At the very least I'd expect Dimma to have told him that if he keeps playing from behind like he did last week he'll be running around in the 2's next week.
I'd really liked to have seen the likes of Lloyd and Gordon in the side.
Title: Re: Official team vs Carlton
Post by: Rampstar on March 27, 2014, 08:30:20 AM
the club should pay the fine and bring in Gordon. Its crap weather and we need an extra hard nut in the middle.

Post by: hyperlite on March 27, 2014, 09:31:40 AM
rancer out is huge. bugger...

Agree 100% with the a.edwards over pettard calls.

Foley - good opportunity to show hardwick he's a nuffer for cutting you from the final last year.

The fact that we lost last week has taken some of the excitement away, and it's basically all nerves now.

gee i hope we beat the scum ... cant handle another loss to these narks. My hand has only just recovered after belting the poo out of that seat at the end of last years elim final.

Wet weather hopefully turns it in our favor - i think we have a good record in the wet?  :pray
