So what are the umpires going to be like?
Chris Donlon (1), Jeff Dalgleish (7), Scott Jeffery (29)
Donlan has crapped on us a few times, hasn't he? The other two hardly ever umpire our games.
They'll save Stevic and the other maggots who really hate us for deeper in the finals.
Edit: Just put my tin foil hat on and noticed Stevic and McInerney are umpiring Geel v Freo, the one game that will have the biggest bearing for Collingwood (should we win). No doubt Stevic will be playing for Geelong so we have to travel interstate next week with a six day break. |

No way Didak. You don't name him on the wing and then sub him.
I don't think Thomas.
Prolly Dwyer, maybe Blair |
Didak won't be on the wing. He will be the sub. Didak no longer has the fitness to operate at top pace for 100 minutes. As a sub, unleashed early in the third quarter, he could win the game for us.
Maxy and Caf won't start on the bench either. The four interchange players named on Thursday night are never the starting bench on match day.

And I believe Blair's spot in the side has been under question for the last couple of months, there's a good reason Bucks made him the sub last week. |
You really think so re Blair?
I thought his form ok and his pressure acts top notch. Would have thought he'd be we'll in front of others to maintain his spot.
I must be missing something. |
Has played one decent game in yonks, against the demoralised Essendon.
Doesn't hit the scoreboard, doesn't get enough of the pill when running through the guts, tackle count is down this year too. Not to mention the fact JT has gone past him in leaps and bounds.
And looks like Bucks has finally noticed that and put him on notice by making him the sub last week.
So yeah, you're missing something. |
Lucky your not on selection committee then because I think your wrong aside From the only quantitative stat re tackle count you provided.
Thus i Am pleased to see him retaining his place.

I knew you'd be happy with Dwyer being retained in the side.  |
Dwyer's an interesting one mate. For me, he's a "lock" in our side. Wonderful skills, balance and blend of offence + defence, ala Dayne . |
+1. Agree 100 with Dwyer. Reminds me a lot of beams.. Very well balanced and being a bit more mature could work in his fav. Doesn't change a game but is consistent in his work rate which may allow others to take the game on..

Never has a truer word been said. This guy rotates between Geelong and Hawthorn. He gets a game for these clubs most weeks. |

+2 Dwyer is a beauty not a big bodied player but worth his weight in the "class and ability to read the play" stakes! Even if he is light he is not afraid of the contest and like Daisy does a lot of work behind play. |

| I understand why we didn't select Jolly to ruck with Grundy: that would make us very slow and Port only have one young ruckman as well. However, I am disappointed that Jamie Elliot isnt in the team. I would absolutely have him in, ahead of Alan Didak. We need extra pace and the dangerous small forward. |

anyone actually consider Elliott still carrying an injury? 
I'd guess that Sinclair is also.
Great inclusions, pretty obvious outs. No excuses, we must roll them
Can't wait, GO PIES!

So Blair is a protected freckle duck alongside his Captain |
Any danger of you posting something that's not a swipe at Maxy? It's getting a little sad
