I don't see it, but Tambling must be doing something right.

Straight back in.

I'd like McGuane in, Astbury forward and Polo, Post and Rance emergencies.

[Danog]

Did Gourdis sleep with Hardwick's missus?

[WilliamPowell]

I've said after last weeks Coburg game - if Jayden Post plays this week it will be an absolute disgrace. Would send a terrible message. IMHO it should be Gourdis' name on that list of "Ins"

Will be interesting to see if Jake King plays - The way he hobbled around after last weeks game gave the impression his corky was a bad one

[TigerTimeII]

tambling is doing many things right, he is doing everything dimma wants him to do, and sacrificing his own game for the team

u will all see it eventually

[mightytiges]

I'd like McGuane in, Astbury forward

That seems to be the plan wayne based on the ins. Mind you I quite liked our backline with Astbury, Moore and Thursty as "talls" and Connors, Newy and Lids as our small/midsize rebounders. It's been nice to see good skills out of the backline.

[eliminator]

shame didn't bring in Gourdis. Happy to see Cousins back in. Who is going to go on Harvey?

Why do you say that WP?

I think Post has been pretty good the last 5 weeks or so.

He has also been playing a lot in the ruck also, which is something new to him.

Last week the way Coburg played it certainly did assist the forwards, they continually chipped sideways and allowed Collingwood to block up any space the forwards had to lead into.

TFL,

He started off well but dropped off again work rate wise

IHMO he is playing like he is disinterested.

The defensive side of his game is for the majority of the time non existent. His chasing of opponents running off him is extremely poor. There were a couple of times last week where he iether point blank didn't chase or just jogged along with his opponent running off him. And then to see him bark instructions to teammates to man up and chase ... well it just makes my blood boil. I realise he relieved in the ruck last week at times and it is new to him however, what shouldn't be new is going in an making a contest, that appleis no matter what position you play.

okay enough already you have been banging on about this for months now.

I see sometimes he does some nice work off the ball but tell me seriously what role has he been given by Dimma. I cant see it personally so you seem to know more than us tell us what kind of role has he been given this year

He must be doing something right because every time he is ready to come back in he is a walk up start.

[Stripes]

You're quick OE, I'll give you that!  Just saw that come up myself.

We must be keen to win this one otherwise you would have expected one of either Post, Rance or Gourdis to come in to get a run. WP assessment of Post aside, I would have liked to see one of the younger guys get a gig particularly Gourdis as I believe he has been playign some consistent football for most of the season at Coburg this year.

Well, I'll just have to wait until later int he season I guess but good to have all three (yes even Bling) back in the team.

Not sure what Andrew Browne needs to do to get a game, especially after Vickery's effort last week.

I think there are a couple of others who could ask the same question
