Changes for Rnd 7 v Bulldogs (Nipper Gordon to debut!)

[BSA5]

Interesting that in this afternoon's press conference, Nathan Gordon was the first name to come out of Horse's mouth when asked who may replace Kieren and/or changes to the side. Obviously not a like-for-like swap but Nipper's been getting the votes in the reserves. He named Luke Parker, Lewis Johnston and almost as an afterthought Brett Meredith.

Even though I don't think Gordon has what it takes to make it at AFL level, there's only one way to find out for sure, so it could be worth a go.

Don't think it is that straightforward. I never understood exactly why Fosdike's retirement didn't qualify as a LTI - maybe it was because he didn't actually have an injury then and there that prevented him from taking to the ground. But when Paul Williams was forced into retirement midway through a season with a shoulder injury, we elevated a rookie in his place - Phillips, I believe it was, who made his debut the very week Willo retired.

isnt it linked to the the vetrans list? if you dont have two nominated you can promote a rookie instead the year willo went down did we only have one on the vetran list? or was phillips just promoted to fill his spot for the 8 weeks

Bolton would still be clogging our list as a vetran rather than on the LTI cos he retired.
So only player we could elevate for would be possibly bradshaw, malceski etc if we thought were indefinite because we must have goodsey and someone else as vetrans

I believe our two vets are Goodes and the other Bolton

In Fosdike's case he retired at the start of the season. That might have something to do with his ineligibility for the LTI

yeah think your right so he was never technically on the LTI, should of just chucked him there, though only gives you 8 weeks doesnt it?

I think 8 weeks is the minimum time needed on the list, not the maximum.

Pretty sure that one is nominated as an "inside vet" and one an "outside vet", giving us the ability to have 39 on the senior list. That does mean we are allowed one designated rookie but I think you have to designate them at the start of the year, not when you feel like it.

But it is probably a moot point if we just want to promote one rookie as I am pretty sure Bolts qualifies as a LTI.

All clubs are allowed to promote another rookie, without the LTI requirement, but that doesn't kick in until about halfway through the season.

That's one incredibly tall bench you have there.

I'm starting to like the idea of Mummy at FF. Could be the answer to all our problems. He's a good ruckman but could be a great FF. Plugger lives again.....

Exactly! He would go right under the radar and be a major headache. Why would you sacrifice a top ruckman to make him a KPP??? Coz thats how you win matches! It enables us to get full value from having 3 good ruckmen. Tall on a dry day is good!

Someone his size will never go under the radar....

[Wazza]

Why would you sub Pyke off in the last quarter? He allowed Mumford to go forward and kick 2 goals and nearly get a 3rd against Carlton.

To allow Mummy to stay on the ball last qtr and bring on a fresh runner for the last, Pyke gave us nothing around the ground and we lacked an extra runner IMHO. Mummy can still go forward for 3/4 game I dont understand your point?. You want our best ruckman to sit in the fwd line in the last qtr?
The otherpoint i was trying to make was to give Jesse a full game at ff and not put him on the ball- ff is probably the hardest position to learn (given his basketball background)he needs time at ff not trying to play backup ruckman.
