Assuming Grimes,Jack, Vlastuin and Deledio all play.


Grimes very unlikely, they said last week he'd suffered a setback was likely to miss a further 2-3 weeks
No Vlastuin either (injured).

AFL website mentioned possibly Griffs and Lennon (trained with the forwards this week).

Won't bother going this week. Hampson. stuff me.

What a great opportunity for someone like Elton to play against a pretty ordinary Port forward line.

Since when do 2 ruckman ever work? Hasn't worked for about 10 years.
Go Tigers!

Agree with the Elton comment. Must be given the chance and has played solid enough footy at VFL level. Lets see what Chaplin offers as the so called leader down back this week......

Yep so we're going to play 2 ruckmen, both slow as treacle as well as Vickery who runs even less than those 2

Perfect opportunity to give Elton a run for 2 weeks and see what hes got, but nah..

Jacob Townsend's Wonder World - because we wonder what in the world the club were thinking trading for him....
We gave up pick 70 odd for him, hardly the end of the world.  At least he has shown he will have a crack.... Moore is worse.
People around here are always quick to let me know when im wrong so no specifics,  but i actually like a fair few things about Townsend. First year on our list he at least is one of well one big inside mid that we have. There is nothing to lose playing this guy what is there to lose? Old saying nothing ventured nothing gained i still have hopes this guy will prove people wrong though even i admit there are two key areas i have serious concerns about.

Dunno if any one has taken the time but his record as a run with player against the big inside mids is pretty decent, wht are we not at least trying him in this role.

For a supposed "midfield enforcer" & "Cotchin bodyguard", he's been next to useless... only bloke he ever seems to hurt is himself......

Vickery might be the first AFL player to take the field in a motorised wheelchair....
“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.
