I think the selection committee live in the Bizzaro world from Superman comics where everything is opposite (cry when your happy etc..). I'm glad there isn't player called Badkick on the list, he'd get a gurnsey every week in Bizzaro world.
    In your example Badkick would in fact be a great kick, but would sadly never get called up to play.

        Well Henry proved a few of us wrong today. And it looks like we're going to need him with Braddy injured. Pykey and Rohan were the other positives i feel. Not too much else though.

              he was handy, but still have little confidence in him. But you couldnt fault his attitude to todays game.

                You have to be joking, what about looking to the future Currie White etc Playfair is a hack I dont know how you people can say we should play him let the youngsters have a go.

                  37points loss.I predicted 39 if a couple of policies remain in place with selections.

                    He was far more effective in the ruck today than White has been. I'd like White back in the side, but strictly as a forward. Henry has his limitations but competed well out there today, all around the ground. Definitely in the running for TLM votes this week.

                      I'm not sure that his ruckwork was far more effective than White's has been, but he did offer a bit more when the ball hit the ground. That said I like Henry quite a lot, and he's always been a pretty handy ruckman- I was expecting him to be rucking with Jesse back to the forward line last week when he was brought in. I thought he was pretty good today.
                      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                        I don't think Hank is going anywhere soon what with Braddles probably out, etc. White back in (assuming he behaved himself in the 2s) and maybe (oh lord forgive me), Cheese in for Kenelly.....

                          Apparently White injured himself in the ressies and MOD had 54 possies

                            Did you actually watch the game today??? Also White needed time in the Reserves to get some confidence and touch back. Remember the coaching staff know how White operates and will do whatever is right for him and the team. He'll come back into the team and offer us more that what he has done so far this year.

                              I agree wholeheartedly Liz. Henry was okay in the ruck and White should have been in the team today in the forward line.

                                Does anyone else have that sneaking suspicion that the coaches are actualy using this year is a "rebuilding phase" and are blooding heaps of possibilities and combinations, contrary to statements made in the past, and are not exactly expecting to make the top 8?
