Reid out Walsh in

[wolftone57]

Pyke named as starting ruckman instead of Mummy, not that it means anything.

He has been starting most times except last week. That is due to the Coaches wanting to make sure Shane is ok and not over taxed and he has proven he can do the job.

[wolftone57]

For all the good work longmire has done with the team, he seems to royally screw up the use of the sub and bench game in, game out.

Walsh in for morton is madness.

Walsh has not come in for Morton he has come in to replace Reid who is injured. Bolts has come in for Morton.

But what if Tommy plays well this week. What happens with selection for the final round. Reid will be back, and Morton will be avaliable.

Is Tommy someone you'd take into finals, holding down a forward post against the best...

If Reid's fit he's straight back in of course. However if his injury persists, or if anyone else goes down (touch wood), hopefully Tommy proves that he'd be a worthy replacement for the finals if needed.....

We're off to the Rising Sun tomorrow [/url]

In South Melbourne?

In South Melbourne?

Yes indeed - Raglan Street. We get the 112 along Clarendon St and a short walk from there.

Glute could either be the gluteal (buttocks) muscle itself or could be sciatic nerve related (similar to the "back related hamstring problem" that are occasionally reported).

There are three Glutaeus Muscles the Glutaeus Maximus, Glutaeus Medius & Glutaeus Minimus. They all relate to the buttocks from the hip as far down as the abductor muscle.

Gee they'd be great nicknames for three of our blokes!

So Peb is Glutaeus Maximus, that's a given, possibly Goodsey Glutaeus Medius, and Benny Glutaeus Minimus.

Any further suggestions?

Wasn't Gluteus Maximus in Gladiator?

"My name is Gluteus Maximus, Commander of the arses of the North, loyal servant to the true emperor Marcus Aeriola"

Was thinking much the same thing, good match up for us as Walsh only needs to harass and lead away from the ball

Having the 3 talls plus Goodes in the forward line ensures they have to play Lonergan in the back line. He has been slipping up forward and causing teams a lot of trouble. We don't need an extra tall forward to deal with. If we had gone smaller Lonergan would have been free to play forward and that we don't want.

I must admit being a bit nervy about this game as they are trying to prove they are up to finals. The old players are trying to prove they still have it and the younger players are trying to prove the can match it. But I am hoping our lot show them who is boss and prove once and for all that the old Cats players are past it!

I know the pub well. I used to have my offices across the road. I know it is a Swans friendly pub but have never been there on match day.

So much ass talk.

Thought this was a family friendly site. Outrage.

i just think this a crock. we will have three or four talls, all of which will be less mobile than their opponent - and only pyke really gives me any confidence as a marking forward.

i watched walsh really closely against the saints and i have to say i hope he has improved A LOT. a forward line of walsh, mummy and LRT looks very slow and highly unlikely to take marks against scarlett, lonergan and taylor.

as usual unless we get the ball in and lock it in with midfielders - which exposes us if they cant there quick enough so the ball goes back over their heads (a la second quarter re hawthorn)

i know we have travelled really well this season but i just think the game plan has been exposed against the better teams...or teams where we simply cant hold it in for any length of timne - and multiple goals are kicked against us quickly.

It's lots of fun - the next best thing to being there when you can't.
The food is pretty good too. And they have Coopers on tap downstairs.
