Who will last longer between Duncan, Pods, Peterson and Rocky ?

[elxam]

Barring injuries, who will last longer this season (from rd5):
Peterson
Rockcliff
Podsiadly
Duncan ?

[browny_wce]

think pods wuld be the best
he shud get the nod over hawkins if it comes down to it i recon

[elxam]

have read somewhere ... thomo was keen to persevere with hawkins because he's the future of the forward for geelong, etc ...

[korza]

I think all for will be in and out all year.

[elxam]

yeah agreed korza, but who will finish with more games from rd5

[Justin Bieber]

Knights will probably play Gumby 22 games bar injury. He's in the 'other' section ;D.

Not completely sold on any of them yet. Korza is spot on. Rookies find it hard to stay in for the entire year, especially KKP ones. Duncan looks to be a smokie for me.

Pods is 28 but his skill has to be strong in a team like that, but i agree with the others aswell.

As i mentioned in another thread here, The player who jpod has been promoted to replace is due back from his LTI soon .. Meaning he may have to wait on the midseason rookie promotion or another LTI on the senior list to play more than a few additional weeks early this season.

If he keeps kicking bags don't think he'll be dropped though. Would be stupid if Bomber does this. He'll probably make room by dropping an out of form guy instead if Pods can maintain form. But if he isn't doing well, got to agree with you there AndyJ.

tks AndyJ...does anyone know actually when the player Pods replaced is coming back??

I'm hinking of picking Pods up this week like lots of others, but don't want to do that if he is only going to get a week or two???

Pods is replacing Mitchell Brown, who re-damaged the leg he broke last year, and he should be back around round 8.

Geelong has Steve Motlop who will miss around 10 weeks minimum with a dislocated shoulder; I don't know if he has been 'promoted' to the LTI.

Don't forget Rooke

Good point about steven motlop .. judging by what http://www.injuryupdate.com.au/afl.php has to say, motlop is along ways off yet .. Anyone know if a player in Pod's situation can swap the player their replacing? .... mitch w brown -> motlop ? that way he may be able to play all year :)


heres the link to that other thread i mentioned.

AndyJ, I think it can be done without any dramas.

Brown won't be back until Round 8, so it would just be for round 9 and 10 due to the Round 11 Free Rookie Upgrade.

Re the Brown-Motlop swap, I'd imagine it would be very simple

Mitch Brown off LTI
Pods back to rookie list

Motlop to LTI
Pods back from the rookie list
