Thanks Ugg. Not too surprising.

Not surprising at all. I like it. I just hope Parker gets more game time. Haven't really thought about who should be sub but we need all the Parker we can get out there through the middle of the field.

And just like Rohan, I don't think we should get into the habit of using the same sub each week. Get some game time into them.

Looks like it will be Parks though. Only other player I could think of would be Nick and I don't think it will be. I think they'll play Nick and then sub him with Parker if no injuries pop up during the match.

I'm starting to warm to the idea of Mal as the sub. Looking past all the excitement about his return, he did play only 70 minutes in the reserves and there has to be a reason for that. The reserves' bye has forced Longmire's hand to select Mal this week, but I think they'll still be wary of playing him for the whole game. He would be an excellent sub, having the ability to play back or forward on even midfield at a pinch and he definitely could make a difference when he comes on.

I just want to see more of Parker! Could be good to use Malceski as a sub since he only played 70 mins last week ... Could be good to ease him back in?

I think it's a good idea. It would also mean that when he comes on the pace of the game wont be as strong so it would be better for him. Pro's and con's both sides I guess. Mal subbed for Parker or Parker for Mal. Either/or is good by me!

[Captain]

I reckon they might have Jetta as a sub

Can they use him as a sub if he has been named on the field?

Everitt as the SUB. If Eski gets into trouble (heaven forbid) Shaw moves to HBF and Everitt gets a run up forward. Probably won't happen, I imagine Horse would like to stretch the defense. Then again he could play LRT up forward again. I can still see that SCREAMIN' SPECCY he pulled down last week.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Everitt should be starting up forward.

Hi All,

Just wanted to post a quick note to let you know that Red Zone guest passes have sold out for Sunday's match.
Reserved seats and general admission tickets (in the Victor Trumper Stand, Bays 14-18) are still available.

See you all on Sunday!

Agree. Eski for sub, Parker to get 28 disposals

Wasn't it fanTAStic?!

This should be a physical game and I imagine the "brains trust" will hold back the sub until he's needed or until early in the last quarter. Parker needs to be given a good run and could be a gun.
Malceski couldn't be up to it at this stage. He'll be the sub.

[ABloodsMan]

Can't see Everitt as sub. I think we'll need his height in the forward line from the beginning.
