I wonder if Hislop didnt get a week if he would be in the squad?

going by reports he played a pretty good game for bendigo last week, definatley got some grunt about him which is good to see.

whats the go with Mcphee? not included again.

Injured?

Yup he is injured. He is still getting over the bout of osteitis pubis and i think he has a shoulder problem at the moment.

Shit... Gumby better kick six, otherwise he'll be in the wasted draft picks thread by Monday There'll be booing from the terraces and DC's Sheedy dartboard will be peppered.

If in 4 seasons he is playing like Kepler is then yes he will be in the wasted draft pick group.

But lets not be a moron andrew, I have never had harsh words for players in there first couple years.

But lets hope your right and Kepler does get AA status

Anyone know what's wrong with Scotty Camporeale? Hasn't played a scratch match yet either...

Kepler has already played for Australia ( in the international rules game here in Perth in 2005)

He must be good so all you doubters should now get off his back

He spent so much time playing for Carlton that I can't see the red and black on his jumper.

You could say that....but I wouldn't know why (unless your sole purpose is to be continuously negative about our team)

Upper leg injuries - can't remember if they were quads or hamstrings, but he's had a few niggles which have reduced his training load and stopped him from playing.

Yeah, all of a sudden he's got chronic problems ever since he walked down Napier St...

Would he have played if Sheedy was not the coach? Seems it was similar to Kevin Walsh playing for Victoria in 1986.

Typical stupid response by Andrewb. As DC said, if Gumbleton shows nothing like Bradley has in the next three years, then he will get a thread about him. I normally give players three years, hell I even thoguht Henneman might become a player if he played forward. But if you dont show anything in three years, then you shouldnt be in the team.

Whoever goes to the game, can you give us a report on the game? I would be veyr interested to see how Lloyd, Gumbleton and Jetta go.

- How Thighs goes on Lynch
- how Bradley plays: Was last week just one of those weeks or is he just crap?
- If Welsh kicks it further than 25 meters
- If someone other than Davey runs back and tackles someone.
