You're doing well in this thread Broadie... they've even started chanting your name.

[Broadie]

Now if only we could get that on a banner...or the real Broadie onto the ground...actually, hang that last thought - I'd rather we win more games.

if brodie was to come back into the side in 2 wks,who would they have to drop,i dont think he will come back in to be honest after the great performance on saturday night.


cheers bryan..!!

[Joel]

Somebody will be dropped, ie. Williams. Brodie's efforts this year have been really good. He will come back in.

[Kristin5]

I think he should come in for Richie Cole. Brodie's been great this year and deserves his spot back in the seniors to play finals football.

[pies4ever]

why drop ritchie cole,he has been good for us over the last couple of wks.


cheers bryan..!!

[JLC]

Brodie will come back into the team as he is very flexible. Brodie could also revert to being the crumber we require.

I think Williams will be the player dropped. How many games has Williams missed this year?? Or do we have a Derek Kickett situation on our hands here ??

Tex will survive as he can play in a few positions and has a big body that can inlifct some damage on people.

Ritchie Cole? are u flippin mad or something? where have u been the past 4 weeks? ..... williams wont get dropped, he's obviously micks love child but after his performance on sat night, mick would have to consider dropping him surely

[Kristin5]

No, I'm quite sane (thank you for asking )

Richie Cole's disposal is absolutely disgraceful - time and time again he fumbles and misses easy shots for goal. This cannot be allowed to happen in all-important finals. I would actually like to see Rupe back in the side too....and can't believe he misses out when the likes of Richie can still be selected. I realise he is only young and inexperienced, but we can't afford to carry players if we're to win the big one.

[JLC]

I like Cole as he is hard at the ball and has a real crack and knows how to tackle. Cole did miss a sitter on the weekend but then again so did Burns and Obree.

IN: Holland
OUT: Williams

[Daks]

nah, once again i'd have to disagree, yes on sat night his disposal wasnt all that flash but it was a fierce game, and yes i kno finals are meant to be fierce and if u cant perform under that sort of pressuer u wont last long but some of the things he did after poor disposal really impressed me... midway thru the last qtr, he got a hurried kick away and it scummed along the ground straight to a Briscum player but he made ammends and went after the ball, dove on it and dished out the handball to a teammate (i forget who it was) and in the finals we need a player who is willing to do things like that, he's one of those players.

[Pied Piper]

Have to disagree Kristin. Cole made a significant contribution to our win on the weekend - we were anything but carrying him. Missed shot aside I thought he mostly used the ball OK. More important was his ability to win the hard ball in high-pressure circumstances - in finals, just getting the ball and continually driving it forward is enough. See Tony Shaw's Norm Smith performance in 1990 for an example.

I would certainly be on the side of those tipping Williams for the axe myself. Now there's a player we're carrying.
