R20, AFL 2010 Dockers V Swans: Pre-Game Discussion

[giant]

My first controversial post for the day - if Rohan is fit i'd play him instead of Moore. And thats not because i dislike Moore who ireckon is a pretty smart footy player but i think could very easily be lost over there.

Good point - Moore really struggles on the big grounds. He's started well the last couple of weeks but has gone missing after that.

Freo deserve to start large favourities for this - they've had a great year, they'll get their best player back and they'll be at home in front of adoring fans. Will be a very tough game for us.

I can't see them taking Nick over to Perth so soon after a hammy.

Especially on a ground where he would be flat out running and covering ground. Gee you would want him to be spot on before you did that.

yep, better off not to risk him this week.
We definitely need him fit for the Dogs match.

Wonder who'll be jumping on the flight this arvo? Smooch? Gaz? Vez?

You have to hope they haven't read Ted and left Hanners behind simply because he's annoying on long flights.

[Robbo]

Surely people are taking the piss by suggesting TDL should/could be dropped?

Freo could have ripped us a new one ... easily.

If Sandilands doesn't come back and with Ballentyne, Medhurst and the other one (Barlow?? can't remember) injured ... we just might have a chance this week.

The maths is easy ... if we win every game between now and the end of September we've got the silverware.

It's up to the players now.

Hmmm.... now there's a plan I like.....

[Peace]

I want Moore to stay in the side he is obviously very important for our forward structure... It'd have to be Smith in for Bevan unless someone is feeling sore, Melceski copped a big knock and I noticed Kenelly hobbling a little bit at the end of the game but that could have easily been cramps.

Is there anyone in WA that can go to the ground and see who is there?

Sorry Annie, but I don't think Medhurst being injured will cause Fremantle problems - given he now plays for Collingwood

What about the butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon then? That could give Jets 8 goals and BOG.

[Captain]

We need speed.

My changes: In: Rohan, Smith and Out: Bevan, Moore

Likely changes: None. I reckon Roosy will keep the same team.

Right you are ... I meant Tarrant.

Injury List as at 9 August 2010
Hayden Ballantyne - foot: 1-2 weeks
Michael Barlow - leg: season
Ryan Crowley - knee: 3-4 weeks
Chris Mayne - ankle: test
Aaron Sandilands - foot: test
Alex Silvagni - groin: 1 week
Chris Tarrant - knee: 3-4 weeks


(Didn't they all used to play for Collingwood?)

[RogueSwan]

We need speed...

and we already have it. Just watch the replay of the goal created by McGlynns' tackle. Coast-to-coast in no time.

Sandilands still in doubt for Dockers

I hope he plays - and falls apart at the first bounce.
