While I’m not in the outraged brigade that some are that RCD isn’t getting a game I do find it bizarre that he can’t even crack a 26 man squad or be named as an emergency.
Is it possible they offered him a contract extension which he turned down and so they aren’t giving games to someone whose future lies elsewhere. 1000% speculation ofcourse.
-
I know it doesn't mean much but seeing Castagna on the field send chills down my spine.
-
Im outraged that Castagna is in the 22 and theres 6 blokes on the ICB that are better than him. Hardwicks a clown. Hes becoming more like Sheedy everyday with his favorites.
-
George into the starting 18 :help.
If the MC drops Maurice out of the 22 tomorrow night then they are clueless.

I'm in the outraged brigade because it just sends a terrible message. Seriously, not sure what else the kid needs to do.
As for your speculation, who knows but I don't think anyone could blame the kid if wants to leave
Clearly not a favourite

Should be noted MRJ and Daniel have been away for a family members funeral so 1 or both of those boys may miss. Willie is out this week for the eagles although obviously it being his farther the relationship is a lot closer.

I was told earlier this year that RCD was seen by the Club as a replacement for Cotch and his role. While Cotch is in the side (and possibly going on next year) then that would exclude RCD. It doesn't make sense to me but that is what I was told.

That's fair enough, TK.
It just that there's been no mention that either would miss for family reasons (funeral). Surely, the Club wouldn't name them if they weren't going to play?

Nank in some doubt according to 7 news

Not sure but I saw in another thread that MRJ and Dan wernt at training as they’re in the Tiwi islands for willie snrs funeral and then saw willie jnr was an out this week for the eagles.

No you're correct TK. I wasn't disputing what you were saying. Just stating the Club hasn't said anything about them possibly not playing and has named both in the squad.

Seems like we try to do anything to fit George in that team :banghead how many times has he proven not up to Stack and Rcd should atleast be in that 26 man squad.

I think we already know they are clueless given the Cantstandya farce that continues

Yep, I would've thought after that Suns debacle and then him butchering running into an open goal against Port last week, he wouldn't be promoted ahead of others already in the 22 :huh3. We don't have the luxury anymore of carrying someone like George. Momentum is so important in modern footy especially with these new rules to "open up the game". So butchering gimme disposals and goals that hand control directly back to the opposition are so costly.

Castagna oh dear. Mind blowing decision. Well the selection committee are very very brave. If he fails badly in a tight loss..... Oh Boy.
-
I’m amazed that Gibcus hasn’t made way for Sampson Ryan, freeing up Ben Miller to play down back and give Nank a chop out in the ruck before resting forward now he’s kicking goals.

Dimma has said the same a number of times in a number of pressers. Said it this season a few times this season, stressed it after the Eagles game
Best way for him to learn and further improve is to actually play along side Cotchin...
It is a joke
-
pee weak changes.
Been fine without Soldo but I suppose you could argue the Hawks rucks are big.
Edwards should only be in as med sub.
No spot for George or Ross in my team. Shocked no RCD after his huge numbers.

It’s just an extended squad, all of these things are still possible. Although I do rekn they’ll play both Ross and George, doubt soldo will be picked.

Wouldn't hurt for RCD to continue to play good reserves football. He's a little hard done by but he's not Tivendale in 2008 getting 37 and 6. Be consistent and it'll come. And when you do get your shot, get a stuffing kick and hold down a spot

So what constitutes consistency at VFL level? He has been in the bests bar 1 game for the last 6 weeks and doesn't even get into the extended squad. Others string together a couple of good games and in they come.
His last senior game the Coach, you know some bloke called Dimma who's a 3 time premiership coach said it was his best game for the Club..But the next week because Cotchin is back he gets dropped. Bit hard to hold "hold down a spot" if you play a good game and get dropped the next week. Again while others play poorly weeks on end and "hold down a spot"
I agree with what you've suggested but when someone is doing all those things at VFL level and not getting a chance while others do then there is something wrong.
-
I'm not the world's biggest fan of RCD but its hard to imagine him stringing together a better run of VFL form.
Something's up behind the scenes with him I reckon.
-
Would be surprised if Soldo plays, we already look too tall. No Lewis, no Reeves, they really only have Koschitzke up forward as a genuine tall, with maybe McEvoy occasionally. So I guess Tarrant on Koschitzke to start, with Balta/Miller on Gunston?

They have named three players 193cm or more on the Bench 4 if Howe at 191cm plays
.They have the option to go very tall still.

Soldo insurance if Nank doesnt play surely

Some sanity prevails. Would prefer Ross in for Shedda, maybe Ross will be the sub.
-
Lol overreactions were well worth it :lol
-
Good team. Gee if we get Grimes and Martin back for finals lookout!
-
Lol overreactions were well worth it :lol
I'll put my hand up ;D.
MC either reading OER by dropping George tonight or trolling us by naming him in the starting 18 last night for a laugh :inquisition.
-

Agree FFV, Sheds should be the sub. While Sheds will go down as a club legend and Ross is no A-grader, dropping an inside ballwinning mid for Sheds (v.2022) is an odd decision. Why weaken our midfield depth after the past two wins in a row?
At least Maurice stays in.
-
I don’t understand why Gibcus is playing. Has lost confidence, didn’t set world on fire when dropped to the twos and we have Ben Miller - a defender - in the ruck.
I’d have dropped Gibcus, put Miller down back and give Sammy Ryan a crack.

:cheers

I like having a more mobile second ruck that can compete in ruck contests, go well around the ground and fill in at both ends depending on what is required. For me I’d persist with the nank/Miller combo for the remainder of the season and five Ryan some opportunities next season.
As for gibcus I do agree. Has faded as the seasons gone on which is understandable. Assuming dusty and grimes are recovered in time for finals I’d bring them back in for Gibcus and edwards with edwards being the medical sub. I think that’s our best 22/23 at this stage with everyone healthy.
-
This is probably the team that I have liked most this year. If stack and RCD were playing I’d be all over it. But it’s a critical game, if we win we make finals. I’m just hoping Maurice has a big impact as he usually does and sonz continue to hold his own. GO TIGES
