Changes V Hawthorn

[ScottH]

Drop Kennedy?
Are you ppl serious?

He's been fantastic the last few weeks. Had a few dodgy HTB decision go against him, but he's been one of our better players, and is improving.

[Peace]

Out : Bevan, Bradshaw, Kennelly,
In : TDL , Mumford, MOD

on a more serious note, this is an excellent selection.

agree 100% he does so much grunt work. If anything id be putting him on the ground and in the thick of it a hell of a lot more

I agree totally. Our best inside midfielder at the moment by a fair margin.

Agree except McGlynn (if fit) for TDL. Even though I admire his courage and endevour I don't think Bevan deserves to be in the 22.

Hawks were great today against the Blues. Going to be a tough contest for us on Sunday.

I'm a little concerned about who we have to play on Buddy. Bolton hasn't done too badly in recent years, and while LRT and Grundy have both stepped up this year, I don't think either has the agility or pace to keep with Franklin if he gets decent supply.

[chalbilto]

Too right. I think Grundy will get first crack at Buddy and LRT to Roughhead. Lets hope the midfield can get on top and stop the supply to the Hawks forwards.

[wearebloods]

He may have the wrong genes to be a power forward - 74kg & 182cm doesn't make a Jonathan Brown physique

He's not a KPF, but as a more disciplined/consistent version of Jeff Farmer, he could be an ideal inclusion to a side that is currently lacking sufficient avenues to goal.

Nah, I reckon LRT will go to Buddy first. He has the better reach of the two, which is Buddy's main weapon in marking contests, and Buddy tends to play a bit further up the ground, which tends to suit LRT. Grundy is pound for pound a bit stronger, and I can see him working off Roughead more than Franklin.

[Peace]

they played hard and well today against the blues, whoever comes in needs to be ready for relentless tackling and pressure.

[cruiser]

Great. We play Hawthorn just when they find form and confidence and we lose it.

There was a post in the Heave Ho match day thread about us playing the Poos and Wees into form.... I think Caaaaaarrlllton did that for us today! Goodesy loves playing the sewerage, heres hoping he bounces back into redhotedness!!!!

I think Pyke will stay, Heath will stay also because of the 2 week minimum policy that Roosy has. Bradshaw, Kennelly out injured. Mumford in. Bevan OUT, MOD/Vesz in. White (if not injured in). Can Pyke kick straight? Just a question ( and don't flame me) he is a big fast body... if he can mark and kick.... Chuck him up forward?????? ducks for cover

[707]

It looks as if Braddy an Tadgh won't play so thats two we need and, as much as I like him, I think Bevan has to go. Pyke stays. McGlynn may be doubtful.

Mummy in, after that let's go with the two form ressies players, MOD and TDL. We could do with the pace and the clever forward.

That does however give us an extremely young side, MOD, TDL, Heath, Jetta, Rohan, Hanners but lets bite the bullet.

Bugger that Hawthorn were great today :-(

It is not looking good but don't be surprised if Barlow and Ted are back.
