Glad I had a Plan B.

Now I just need a Plan C for when Plan B fails.

d.clohesy · February 16, 2015, 10:35:18 PM

My plan b is having belly and leuy. Though i wonder how long before one of them is injured.. plan c. Premo and someone..

AaronKirk · February 16, 2015, 10:45:25 PM

Premo R1, Leuey R2 and Bellchambers as forward cover.

Lets hope this holds up for round one :o

Tbh this has probably done me a favour. Really wasn't keen on him so this makes it a bit easier.

RiOtChEsS · February 17, 2015, 08:35:45 AM

horrendous luck for the lad :'(

Ricochet · February 17, 2015, 09:29:54 AM

Think this probably the only comp where we can still go with two midpricers in Leuey and Belly, just due to 2 trades a week

Just curious, but why are people focusing on Belly, yes he is cheap, but last year averaged only 54.5 and was subbed out in only 1 game. Averaged 73 in 2013 with 18 games which is the most he's ever played in a season. Carlise was ahead of him for the ruck role last year and Bombers now have Giles to compete with.

Is Belly even in the best 22?

Carlisle averaged 2.6 hitouts last year, how was he ahead of Bellchambers? And Giles is there to compliment him, not compete.

Having said that, I wouldn't pick him.

He was the #1 ruck against the Blues, Freo, and the 2nd half of the Hawks game (after Ryder went down)
Managed 10 HO against the Hawks (McEvoy 28, Hale 20)
18 against Blues (Warnock 41)
9 against Freo (Sandi 45, Clarke 17)

So he got beaten pretty flowering badly

Mr.Craig · February 17, 2015, 10:52:47 PM

Put it this way - Jordan Lewis averaged 3.4 as a third man up...and he's 12cm shorter than Carlisle.

Kreuzer straight swap for the GC ruckman? (either Nicholls or ZSmith)

Which one though? Who is the preferred ruckman or will it be 50/50.
