Changes for Rd 16 v Geelong

[Rob]

Just saw the announcement that the Lions will debut South Sudanese rookie Reuben William. We've got to play Aliir this week. Not only does he thoroughly deserve to play based on his form, but what a great story to have 2 Sudanese players in the AFL for multicultural round. Only downside is that it would make Gillon McLaughlin too happy.

Three if North decide to recall Daw

Lang, Cockatoo for Stanley, Kersten, Gregson.

In: Aliir Naismith TRichards Papley
Out: McGlynn Laidler Nankervis Heeney.

Suprised they excluded Laidler
Maybe Heeney has been carrying something as suspected

A bit harsh on Laidler. Glad Aliir is back, looked good last week and took the game on. Teddy wasn't challenged or very involved in the second half.

[ugg]

Heeney listed as managed. Other three have been omitted which is a little surprising for Laidler

Emg are XRichards Nankervis and BJack

[churry]

Also Mitch Clark is back for Geelong.

I would of liked to see B Jack in for Towers...At least he tackles and doesn't shirk the contest.

He would be up and about, big time, for his bro's 200th.

[WolfGang]

At least 1 member of his family would be at Simonds Stadium if B Jack gets picked !!

Nankervis McGlynn and Laidler all named for reserves. Heeney not.

I'm happy with the changes. I wanted to see Naismith, Aliir and Papley come in the side and they're all there. Horse said that Heeney was being rested. He's a star, but just needs a bit of a rest to freshen up. Laidler was a bit off last week. He's not injured, because he's listed in the reserves side. Bringing in both Aliir and Ted, we had to drop Laidler.

Now that Foote is not even an emergency it really surprises me that he was upgraded this week. It just seems so unnecessary. Suppose he gets injured in the reserves, then we will have wasted an upgrade slot, unless the rules allow you to withdraw the upgrade under those circumstances. These rookie upgrade rules are some of the most obscure in the AFL.

Heeney rested ? Haven't we just had a bye recently? methinks something is rotten in the state of Denmark

[kilroy]

I like it, we have to play the structures. Heeney is tired and sore, a few weeks managed should see him back and ready for the finals.

Heeney had 4 touches last week. Maybe he was left out due to poor form, but they didn't want to say so.

Laidler out Alir in. Sounds like we are rebuilding.

Rank outsiders this week.

He isn't playing reserves while the other three are

Mitchell goes, Mills goes to the midfield. QED.
