So who is going to come in this week.

With Hirdy, Fletcher, Davey, Hisplop out . Laycock and Stanton doubtful, Jetta suspended who will get a game this week ?

Is Monfires or NLM available ?

Having Rama back was sensational but he was clearly off the pace and if wasn't for these injuries I would have thought he might go back to Bendigo for a little while.

I also think that Bacha might give a bit more value than Dyson.

I think Hislop and Laycock are ok... Hislop was a corky and exhaustion and I don't know of any cock injuries (mind you, they're not talked about openly).

Outs: Ryder, Hird, Davey (confirmed)... Fletcher (likely)... McVeigh (if this is a girls' game).

Ins: Lloyd, Stanton, Lovett-Murray, Campo, Monfries

Not sure what's happening with Winders' injury.

Possibly Bradley as a floating forward to stretch the doggies down back. Houli might get a look in, too.

Nice to have a bit of depth for a change.

Mal Michael might be exposed for pace this game unless they play Darcy up forward. It would have been an ideal game to give him a rest.

Campo and Heff were both named amongst Bendigo's best yesterday. Both of them will probably come in on that basis, although Campo would be more of a certainty than Heff.

NLM played but didn't do a great deal by the sounds of the match report, and probably needs a few more weeks in the ressies to come good:

Sounds from that match report as though Kepler's doing OK, but is still making too many errors/turnovers.

Monfries will come straight in to play as a small forward in the absence of Davey.

Suddenly the depth of the club is tested. We're about to find out just how deep our backline stocks go, losing both Fletcher and Ryder. The loss of Hird and Davey (both inspirational) is seriously going to hurt... add the possible loss of McVeigh, who has been in great form this season, and we're looking in deep trouble with the likes of Stanton already on the sidelines.

Looks like it'll be a return to the seniors for old timers like Campo and Heff, although a recall would be warranted for Monfries and Houli. CJ to make down back with Lloyd to come in?

In: Lloyd, NLM, Monfries, Houli, Heff/Campo
Out: Fletcher, Ryder, Davey, Hird, McVeigh

Houli might miss out as Campo might come in for Hird. I've tried to say who might replace who with the ins and outs. Obviously Lloyd won't play down back, but if CJ moves down back to replace Fletcher, Lloyd obviously comes in to FF (which is where CJ should be played).

With the lose of Flecher why not give Gumbelton hsi first match? He can play up forward or go down back. He cna give us some flexibility against the doggies.

Gumby's not match fit. We'd be better off promoting Chartres from the rookie list for mine.

I don't think his match fitness is that bad. Consider how Sheeds rarley uses his bench anyway.

ABC2 on cable had last weeks game against Tassy during the weekend. Thought Houli looked pretty good and would play him in preference to Campo or Heff.

Given our precarious position, I reckon they will go with the oldsters.

Tore his hamstring and was out for around 6-8 weeks. Only his second game back, why would you play him?

And being a KP forward, where would he play?

PLEASE NOT HEFFERNAN.

I love the bloke but he's way past it.

Post by **danstar84** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 8:32 pm

Campo and Monfries would pretty much be certainties, and Lloyd comes back in.

If Stanton is right he will come in. Otherwise Houli may be a reasonable choice. Wouldn't mind seeing Lonergan get a game, although he has been played up forward a fair bit.

Lovett-Murray may be brought in to add some height down back. Luckily the Bulldogs don't have much in the way of tall timber down forward, so will really need to get good games from the likes of Slattery, Nash, MJ.

We can't bring in both Heff and Campo, too slow.

Just a quick question, Hows Jetta coming along? Is he still injured.

In: Lloyd, Stanton, Monfries, NLM, Houli, Campo (All can use the footy well).

Out: Fletcher, Ryder, Davey, Hird, McVeigh, Rama.

He's been busy getting pissed before playing a game of footy.

In Jetta's defence BD, my understanding is that he was only the designated driver and thus drank nothing but water.

The bloke who was busy getting pissed was my man, Richy Cole.

Cheers jimmy. I've been away for a few days and I haven't heard anything else on the story. My bad.

I reckon Cole has played his last game for the club.

Sorry, But thank god! Never thought he could play, never trusted him with the footy, always thought he was a dud...

Cole should have never played a game for this club.
