Selection day again...

[rockhole]

I no longer care if we get thumped. I am almost getting used to it.

Let's have a look at the likes of Carlisle, Hardingham, Marigliani and Still and see what they have got. If nothing else, they will get firsts expereince and players like Stanton etc could get "rested" to give them a run.

If we don't know our best 22, playing these kids constantly in the twos is not going to help.

[Gatsid]

The way he's playing his stats might make him look good value, he's hardly playing good football. If they dangle the carrot and someone bites we may be able to snag someone good for him because his stats make him look better than he is. Rosso has hit the nail on head multiple times, if you're going to be an outside midfielder and you can't hit targets and you don't chase then what's the point? I've lost faith he has a lot of work to do to turn it around.

I'd like to see a few blokes who are going to at least going to by physical and work their guts out. On that note (and on the basis of last week Bendigo game), I'd seriously consider giving Marigliani a game if he's fit (copped a massive knock last week and didn;t return, but no mention on the injury list so...). Houli deserves a crack on his 2's form and probably so does Hardingham and Myers.

While I think Carlisle and Still have loads of potential, both those lads need a big summer in the gym (does Essendon eve have one?) before getting a game. Both a bit too scrawny at the moment.

[GoalSneak]

Yes, Carlisle and Still would be killed if played now, they shouldn't even be playing VFL really.

Hardingham is worth a try. He butchers the ball a fair bit (so he should fit in right away) but, on the positive side, he's strong, good in the air and prepared to take the game on. He has a surprising turn of speed once he's built up a head of steam.

[BERT]

Wasn't Lovett-Murray our beat against Melbourne 2 weeks ago?

[lozza89]

Who does Prismall have to F*** to get a game around this joint?

NLM had Gastro earlier this week.

They are all deckchairs on the Titanic. It makes no difference which fetid donkeys they choose from our extensive herd. If possible, I would simply choose which ever fetid donkeys are prepared to put their head over the ball and work for the good of the team. Make no mistake though, our performances against Melbourne and West Coast are as bad as you'd ever want to see. None of them deserve to play this week.

thanks Keri, this makes sense as otherwise I could not work out why NLM would get the chop.

But he's good enough to play for Bendigo this week?

Seems like bullshit to me.

Check your facts Kezza and get back to me.

How have you been anyway? Are you still starring on A Current Affair for the size of the brain residing in your noggin? Or was it Today Tonight? I've missed you on this forum.

[keri]

Missed this reply.

BD, There's a difference between AFL match fit and Bendigo match fit. I would bet my arse it was true. I was given that information publicly by someone who works at the club who was happy to make the statement under his real name on his Twitter feed, which is followed by the club. If it wasn't true and they weren't happy with it being public, he would have looked pretty bloody stupid.

Gringo, been pretty busy with insane work hours. So I found another job that didn't have insane work hours. Should be around a bit more. But I've said that before.

And I haven't missed you at all.
