      Against Geelong at Geelong for a first game in the ruck might be wise to give a miss. I would go with White against this mob, for with due respect to Pyke, we might be one man down before we start. Then again if he was up against Blake it might not be too bad.

        So I heard from Primmy, a real bummer that work got in the way and I could not watch the kids last week.

          Brian Taylor just bagged Mike Pyke on 3AW. If he is the form player, Roosy should play him IMHO......

          Currie is 96KGs maybe a debute later in the year but we do not want another Tim Barling, David Willis, Gareth John, Stephen Doyle etc. You obliterate young ruckman playing them too early, and he has had injury history already

            Surprise suprise! I feel glad things are back to normal in the world and BT is giving it to us.
            Anyways, this is just crap for Seaby. He was going along so beautifully and you could tell how happy he was to be here.
            I want Jessie up forward but someone that can really run and pressure the cats bringing the ball out of defence might be just the ticket for Fanta Pants.

              Move white into the ruck and let him float around the forward line as well, i reckon he will kick more goals is this role anyway.

              bring in TDL or Mcglynn to replace white in the forward line or bring in the ranga and shove nuget down there.

                That is awful for Seaby. He has fitted into the team quite seamlessly.

                I have a bad feeling about kids debuting against Geelong at the Cattery after poor old Laidlaw tried his heart out in the rain down there and never saw the light of day again. Bad vibes so no Fanta Pants please...I want him to be a 200 gamer for us not 1.

                  What did Porkchops Taylor say?

                  In a funny way, Seaby breaking his ankle has brought instant respect and admiration from the fans (saying he would help others) and I think whoever replaces him (be that Pyke or Currie) will be stuffed by round 18 and we will have a fresh ruckman back.

                  Seaby's stats have gone down in the last few weeks (he is on a number of my internet team lists) so I think it will me a win win all round. We have depth this year and how good is that.

                    Hadn't thought about that one. It could be very tempting and certainly form isn't an issue.

                      Mummy is going to have to step up big time against his old team this week. I reckon this week will be Seaby out and McGlynn in. That is it. White will be 2nd ruckman. If one of them breaks down during the game then LRT is the replacement.

                        Problem with LRT being a back-up ruckman is that the Cats have three genuine tall forward targets. Unless Thompson changes his structure and omits one of those talls, I think LRT will spend his afternoon on Big Tom Hawkins.

                          Is Mc Glynn fit?

                            FFS it is so simple and I agree with you in a roundabout way. GET GOODES OUT OF THE @@@@ING FORWARD LINE. HE IS A PLAY MAKER, NOT SOMEONE WHO HAS THE PLAY MADE FOR HIM! If this means getting Jessie back into the forwards then just do it. Otherwise leave Jessie in the ruck, play Goodes on the ball, and bring in Rohan!

                              ...Pyke in for Seaby
                              Rohan in for White
                              Mc Glynn in for Bolton
                              As for Moore and Teddy....both looked in ordinary shape after the game.?

                                BT always bags Mike Pyke. I think it's pretty certain Pyke will come in for Seaby - let's hope BT isn't calling (or shouting) that game on the weekend and that if he plays, Pyke puts on a good show. IMO he was BOG in the reserves on Saturday, but translating that to playing against Geelong is a bit of a stretch.

                                Bad luck for Seaby, I hope he makes a quicker than expected recovery.
