      You would think LRT would play, v. little point in taking him up as an emergency when he needs time on the paddock.
      I have a sneeky feeling we won't see Hall either. Pushing @@@@ up hill now with this game.

        damn, damn, damn. Not looking good for finals:- Barry Hall - proppy at best, Leo Barry injured, Tadhg Kenelly injured. Looks like our good run with injury is over. Must have been luck after all.

          How good is Ed Barlow? What sort of role does he play?

            I'm not sure if the pessimism is justified. Kennelly's been fairly quiet by his usual standards in the past month and nowhere can I see that he's been ruled out for the year (yet).

            A good chance for a youngster to step up and make a name for himself. Other options to fill the role could be Goodes or Davis.

            If we're relying on a half back flanker - admittedly a very good one - to win a flag, then we're in trouble anyway.

                We've really utilised the rookie list well in the past 3 years. Good luck to the Cheese.

                I also think LRT being ferried up there will see him come in for Hall.

                  Damm.......we will really miss him. LRT to come in

                  So how valuable is the number 17?

                  Does he really make a big difference?

                    Yep, he's the first barrel out of defence, and Malceski is the 2nd.
                    A big loss, we have only won one game with him out (Bulldogs) and he has missed 6 games so far.

                      Grundy and Vogels have both been tried, neither have had much impact. Laidlaw is unavailable. Dempster has not done that much since he was dropped, and on what we have seen does not merit a recall. For once, rather than pick on reputation, this callup has been done on form - Cheese is the next best performed player and deserves this opportunity.

                      He can play either forward ot back, but has looked most impressive in games where he has played CHF. He is an accurate kick for goal, and also appears to have (given time) the ability to pick the best long target and hit them. When he plays back in the twos he is the designated kick off man, and has done that job well. Would not reckon that he has quite the mobility or the marking ability of Laidlaw. As Liz has said, he is also prone to the occasional brain fade.

                            For some reason, Roos saying "debutante" has me imagining Cheese taking to the field in a frilly white dress with "41" on the back. That would sure give the team some excitement.

                              yes, we all think he "can" but whether or not melcho actually steps up a notch remains to be seen.

                                We will miss Tadhg.

                                However, it is great to see another youngster get a run.
                                This year we have given game time to:
                                Jack
                                Philips
                                Schmidt
                                Moore
                                Vogels
                                Grundy
                                Laidlaw
                                Barlow
                                Brennan

                                Barlow makes up our 3rd debut for 2007.
