Elimination Final v Carlton - Including Teams

[Triple B]

Interesting that Jesse is named on the extended bench.

Of the bench: Jetta and Pyke are certainties, MOD no chance, but it wouldn't surprise me if either of Moore/Rohan or either of Reid/White get the nod, obviously not both big men and doubtful both small men.

From the interchange you'd have to say Jetts, Pyke and White are safe so its from Rohan, O'dwyer, Reid and Moore. Of course it will be Moore but does he really deserve it on form ??

It's the least they could have done for a 21st present. A spot in the side.

Probably shouldn't read too much into it, hasn't played the last 2 weeks as an emergency, they probably want him to run around in Canberra on Saturday rather than hanging back and twiddling his thumbs on the Sunday.

Why would they name MOD, maybe Kennelly is doubtful. I would have thought Rohan would be ahead of him for a defensive role.

MOD didn't do any work with the Main Squad yesterday. MOD won't come into play at all.

[Triple B]

Why would they name MOD, maybe Kennelly is doubtful. I would have thought Rohan would be ahead of him for a defensive role.

You have to name 25, this week he is the token guy to make up the numbers. Of course Rohan is in front of him, so it's all good.

There aren't many other guys available, assuming they want Vesz to travel to Canberra, that just leaves O'Dwyer, Gordon, Currie, Johnston, Heath and Sumner. They do not need another tall so that rules out Currie and Johnston; Sumner and Gordon are not ready; and Heath just came back from injury. That leaves O'Dwyer as the default option. As Triple B said, he is also the token option, as when was the last time we needed to use all 3 emergencies (touch wood)

[aardvark]

So its a "we still love you MOD, please don't go to GC" token selection ?

You shouldn't have said that Ugg.....

He's a funny one MOD.

Most of us ressie watchers love him to death, when he got chances in the seniors he played pretty damn well (got a gazillion possessions against Carlton in the NAB Cup), yet he seems to have been left out in the cold a bit. He may well move on, but I can assure you he is one player I will NEVER boo if he chooses to seek opportunities elsewhere.

Strangely enough, having said all that, I don't think the club has actually treated him poorly, more just a victim of circumstances. His shoulder injury came at a very poor time for him infortunately this year, I feel sure he would have got a run at that time when things weren't looking so hot in the seniors.

Is it worrying that Roos doesn't say anything about Mumford here

Mumford, who suffered a knee strain against the Western Bulldogs, Kennelly (knee soreness) and Hannebery (hamstring tightness) will be tested at training at ANZ Stadium tomorrow.

However coach Paul Roos was very confident that Kennelly would definitely be right to play, and he said Hannebery had also progressed well this week.

Yes.

Moore will get the nod..keep your eyes on him a bit more and you'll note the work he does off the ball. Few in the side are better at knowing 1. where the ball is, and 2. where his team mates and their opponents are. He then has the capacity to get and deliver the pill.Works excellently in tight forward lines. Gets a start every week from me.
