Luke McGuane [merged]

[Mr Magic]

Did all you could expect.

[Hellenic Tiger]

He's definitely be in the side next week. While he plays a role and kicks a couple of goals a week he'll keep his spot. We don't have much other choice either . Thankfully it's Gold Coast next week. The only thing with Luke playing is he can't ruck so we either have to have big Ivan rucking all day alone or we bring in an inferior 2nd ruck  .

Derickx in the side helped that yesterday. Maybe we need to bite the bullet and play Angus as a second ruck resting the forward line and Maric can help in defence when Graham goes on ball.

[Simonator]

Was at the game and thought McG actually looked quite at home in the forward line, definitely x1000 better than Miller. I was right behind the goals and though YES he's going to kick this !!! Then handpassed to Reiwoldt under pressure 
Other than that, pretty good game !

jackstar you were right, i apologise to both you and McG 

the broadbeach carey is here to stay

[the claw]

needs to go come seasons end.

lets face it this is the last role of the dice for him playing forward. we need to fit in a ruck forward and any one of griffiths astbury elton in the near future.. theres just no long term place for him.
hes been a glass half full all of his career and remains exactly that. will say though id keep him over miller if it came down to it yet miller is only taking up a rookie spot.
white webberley mcguane macdonald and connors are the worst 5 on the list proper its likely (hopeful) we will cut more than 5 plus our fair share of rookies. miller heslin maric verrier.

its typical a reasonable game here and there and all is forgotten and over looked. there are some damn good reasons why hes in this predicament and struggled to get a game and they dont just magically fix themselves.

Last roll of the dice?

The dice have already been rolled and Luke got snake eyes. His first kick on the weekend from 30m out that he missed sealed the deal.

There is no chance he will be at the club next season.

So much disrespect for a favourite son.

Why cut verrier from the rookies as opposed to Wright and Darou?

[gerkin greg]

Verrier wont be cut. Good size, flexible mid option and improving. Just the type we need. Will be given another year for sure.

Surely an octo-bag of sausage rolls is not far away for the G-Banger, no?

Why cut verrier from the rookies as opposed to Wright and Darou?

quite simply, having seen a bit of him  i dont rate him. must admit havent seen him this yr so its a carry over thing from last yr. from what i gathered he has struggled abit at times this yr as well. size and footskills are two things that have concerned me. very skinny and every time i have seen him play hes absolutely butchered the ball.

darrou i have a bit of time for but he may take time to develop. piva is another big strapping kid with heaps to learn.
 look at the end of the day if all three are retained great. i was only giving an example of the sort of list changes id like to see.  i chose verrier because of what ive seen of him.
 6 from the list proper and three rookies instead of 4 is there abouts.

i do think we should use 5 nd picks and our psd pick. i also think we should use 3 or 4 rookie picks. to accomodate this some one has to go but this is the main point not who may or maynot get the arse.

[Penelope]

fair enough
