Hannebery In this Week? Yes!

[alison.z]

Not from what a little Birdy told me!!

slightly different though ... bird was on scholarship so was around the club a lot ...

i think it's quite unusual that we play a first year draftee who lives full time in melbourne and has only played 4(??) reserves matches ...

Thx for the heads up.

I'll just nick outside and grease those wheels and get ready for the masses to jump onboard the wagon.

I think we only have a sample of two though, and the other was a skinny ruckman in a year when we were coming off a GF. So hard to discern what is "normal".

I must say that I reckon the club has got it right in most cases - people were calling for Jesse White last year. When he did make his debut, he clearly wasn't ready so he went back to the reserves after a couple of games. Can't explain why he didn't play against Essendon though

Apparantly was down with flu all week. He should get flu every week if he is going to come out and kick 12!

I'm looking forward to White playing CHF and not just pinch hitting in the ruck. On more than one occasion this year I've thought he moves more like Pavlich when attacking.

There'll be a riot if White is left out this week.

But if he and McVeigh come in and Pyke stays, who gets the drop?

Ablett? Melcho?

If 50-possessions Buchy is back in form he has to get promoted.

I can't wait to see who is in the team this week, or make that who is not. As you say, McVeigh in, White in, also Hannebery and possibly Buchanan in, which would mean 4 out. If they actually do play the younger ones to gain experience, Pyke and Smith should stay in. What an interesting dilemma that would make!

Can't see how Smith can retain his spot if they bring in McVeigh and Hannebury. On form, Malceski may be the other to miss.

Ablett seems to be the obvious one to drop out for White, since Ablett was in as a forward last year.

If White is in for Ablett, then another tall will have to come out given that Pyke came in for McVeigh.

Richards??

[Cant turn right]

Bring on 5 o'clock!!!!!!

[Plugger46]

Richards??

I hope so. Has played forward over the last two weeks - with White coming back and Carlton not having an overly potent and tall forward line, they might decide that he's not required this week.

Not necessarily. You could argue that we went in short against North (losing both White and Hall). Last week partly reinstated the height (ie Pyke for White's old role). Bringing in White this week (to Hall's old role) would just get the balance back to where it was before the North game.

Hannebury definately playing this weekend

Roos has announced that Hannebury will definately play his first game this weekend . Good luck to the young bloke!

You're probably right but I've heard Roos say on more than one occasion that they use the first year as a 'settling in year'.

Pretty hard to judge his ability on 5 minutes a game.
