As long as it's not pendles :P Would be good to see krak get on tho!

Pendles and Swallow to KO each other !

well there goes my overall chance. The last mintue trade of cotchin to anthony looked good lasty night not anymore.

This sub rule is a real killer! I think it's going to effect us all at some stage through out the season...

i really dont see why anthony is the sub, its basically thowing the game, why do that when you have the bye next week.

Mish · April 02, 2011, 03:55:47 PM

seriously!! how is anthony a sub?! he is oneof our best midfielders! and we have a bye next week!!! and why is Atley on field! he has been crap to date!

this is going to be a long year! if the coachest dont know how to use sub properly and who is more suitable to be on bench then how are we supposed to know who is likely to be subs or not!

They should announce subs when the teams are announced. Would solve alot of head aches leading into each round picking teams...

THough of course they dont think about, fantasy football, when they think bout the AFL :P

Krakouer and Anthony killed it when they came on u would have to say. though the game was already over...

Has there been any explanation from Scott in the post match press conference that anyone has heard as to why Anthony was a sub? I don't have him myself and I'm not a Roo's supporter, but I'm just really interested why a team would start with a sub who is EASILY in their best 9 players! It just doesn't seem right. I know what Scott would say anyway "it was about team structure".

Bluke · April 02, 2011, 08:18:04 PM

So how does Atley fit into that structure better than Anthony? lol

i would say anthony is probably in the roos top 4 players easily. 64 in a half is a good result, he saved himself in my team. I really want to get in pendles but anthony probably saved himself in my team from that effort.

look, it makes perfect sense to me to play someone like krak/anthony as the sub, they can both be high impact players, but as we saw last week with krak, a lot of it will come from just quarter bursts. Putting someone like krak on in the last quarter, when the other team is exhausted and he can just fire instantly, makes perfect sense to me.
