Forward line should BBBBH not make it

[Dave]

How will Roos structure it?

Is Doyle ready to return yet?

Goodes at CHF?

Any suggestions?

[penga]

it might give scotty stevens one last chance ie:

davis goodes (resting midfielder)
schneider stevens o'loughlin

[Triple B]

We will probably go back to the old fashioned style of the resting ruckmen at FF.

Ball and Goodes rotating. Ball is a premiership CHF.

Interesting prospects... who for CHF as Micky will play in front of goal... Pebbles? Maybe rush Doyle back and rest him next to Micky...and rotate Ball/Goodsie thru CHF...there are a lot of options, but you don't want to upset established team balance too much. BBBH, though he can't mark the ball any more, has handed off so many goals with his bullocking work that he will be missed if suspended. And, will Stewie return this week, and if so, who else might have to go?

Ireland said a few days ago that the next few weeks are make or break for a few of the boys.....maybe Stevens chance to stand up and be counted, but i still rate him as a CHB over CHF. A chance to give LRT a lengthy amount of time up forward at CHF?

Hey there Ace, I didn't think we were going to be around after October to have to worry about it anyway...

Pebbles has the strength to play a similar role to BBBH, but is his calf ok? Heard that he'd injured it again.

I'd hate to rush Doyle back if he was not ready. We really need him to be fit and take him into the finals campaign.

I just hope Bazza gets off and this wont be a problem.

I wouldn't change our set up one little bit if Bazza goes, because its the last thing we need. I would put either Stevens or LRT into Bazza's role and hope of the best. Its a good sign that we haven't needed Hall's goals this season and that we have Magic, Davis, and O'Keefe kicking goals.

Although he has created many goal opportunities don't forget!

that's exactly the problem we may have if he goes. Who's there in the gap to provide the handball for the player running on?

[Dave]

My choice would be LRT.

He seems pretty good with his reflexes and handballing.

(eg Davis' wondergoal)

I reckon they are thinking about Doyle if BBBBH gets suspended.

I asked Roosy on Saturday night if they were going to put Doyle straight back in and he said "it depends". I guess it might depend on whether Hall is there or not.

I think they will want Doyle in for the finals campaign and it is a make or break risk that I think we need to take. As a big bloke he doesn't need to run too far at FF anyway.

Cheers.

BBBBH has definitely played very unselfishly lately by creating opportunities for other players. His strength is still used to bust through packs in the foward line.

Our great range of goal kickers reflect that the foward line isnt set too strictly. But we dont get too many marks in the foward line and i think either LRT, Ball or Goodes should rotate for that foward position and hopefully they can take some good marks.
