Changes for the Port game?
« on: July 05, 2014, 09:34:13 PM »
Rance rolled his ankle but played on. Apart from that we got through today with no injuries.

Fire away with your changes, if any?

When is Grigg due back from injury? Reckon he'll get a run in the two's?

Thomas for Arnot is a lock. Especially since we are playing his old side.
On the rebound from two losses. :help

Foley won't be dropped , nowhere near
Arnot or o hanlon didn't do a great deal nor Did Newman ...would like to bring McDonough or Lennon back in ...if arnot got dropped from here you'd think that's a line thru him

Got a few tricks this kid, certainly has no trouble finding it, nine possies in 30 odd minutes, would have liked him to have grabbed that ball on the flank and roasted it through the middle for a sealer rather than fumble it....first game in a while in a pressure cooker , deserves another chance  :shh

Changed your opinion on O'Hanlon in the space of a few hours BJ? :lol :rollin :lol

Arnot looks ordinary - drop for Thomas. Foley out for Vlaustin and Dea our Morris.

O'Hanlon was nervy - give him another week imo.

Saw Arnot lay a couple of heavy tackles today.

That alone gets him another few games in this side.

Yeah lets bring the gun Thomarse back and stick him in the forward pocket too then see how well he goes.

Hilarious stuff.

Big problem is that he couldn't get a kick against a bottom 4 team
He is gone !!!

Why play kids for a week?
Arnott and O'Hanlon have earnt 3-4 weeks in the seniors.
On the other hand, Newman. Bacharach. Axel.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Some of the youngsters we have drafted start off really well and then just seem to stagnate for ever.Vlas is one.I have no doubt he will be a very good player for us but seems to be treading water at present.
I would say Arnott,elton,Griff,are nother group who just cant seem to step up.Maybe their development is being stifled by this extraordinary recruitment of recycled players we have got.
All credit thought to  Ellis who  appeared early this season to be following the same path but seems to have really turned it round of late.
Mc bean is one who is hard to judge as he has had a series of injuries.

Maybe if their play in the twos demanded selection they could get a game without being gifted
