[Bleed Red Blood]

I say let Warfe rehabilitate for the rest of the season so as to promote Rojers

good to see Doyle and O'loughlin come down from 3-4 weeks
To 1-2 weeks
One thing which I hate is seeing a player being at 3-4 weeks and not improving.

Hopefully they will be right for round 1. Albiet burst players of the bench.

Micky doenst need much match practice he is that gifted - could quite easily kick 3-4 goals from the goal square.

[blinddog]

Micky O could just kick goals from the word go, as long as he has those shots to the knees; before, during and after the game

[sharpie]

Either of these two guys are worth around 3 goals out of the goal square with or without match fitness, so hopefully they'll be good for Brisbane

[Cheer Cheer]

Magic - yes

Doyle - No

[sharpie]

Doyle is tall enough that he gives the opposition nightmares in defense. Remember he has kicked multiple goals in a number of games when he hasnt been required to do the ruck work

How many is multiple?

He has kicked 3 once and 2 three times.

He certainly appears capable of doing it, but hasn't really shown he can yet.

Well there you go, in the limited number of games he has played at full forward, and not in the ruck, he has kicked goals, often more than one, thus making them 'MULTIPLE' goals. Therefore he HAS shown he can do it.

You dont have to argue with everyone for arguing's sake.

[NMWBloods]

I'm not arguing (although somehow I knew you were going to say that).

I was just clarifying that he has not shown yet that he is a goalkicker who often kicks a number of goals, although it appears that if he stays fit he could be.

[Cheer Cheer]

If we put doyle and oloughlin in the goal square in round 1 to kick 3 goals

Doyle would be an 30% chance at best

Magic 85%

[BAM_BAM]

the encouraging thing about Doyle is he kicked those goals early and then (a minor bad point) was taken from the field injured. Imagine what he'd be able to do given a full game

[stellation]

I don't like putting really tall guys in the goal square. Even if it works I find icky.

[TheHood]

Doctor's Orders:

Add Doyle
Kick 3 straight
Remove until full-time

Repeat dosage once a week for a full footy season, plus finals!

But I wouldn't type it. It would be written in an indesipherable script, just like all prescriptions!

LOL - I can just imagine Longmire recommending to Roos that we put Doyle in the goal square, and Roos dancing around Homer Simpson-style on his toes, wringing his hands, saying "ooh nooo, it's sooo ickyyyy!!"
