Sandi will be out for 4 weeks

QuoteSandilands had scans today which confirmed that he had suffered tendon damage in the toe.

Griffin can come in and do a job. He has been smashing it in the WAFL averaging around 35 hitouts and 12 disposals a game.

Griffin will have to stand up. Kepler should be able to help out too.

Kep already helps out now as it is.

I wonder if we will bring in both Griff and Clarke and run the 2 big men

Wow, that is big news. I have Smith there plus I can move Petrie there if need be :-\ Going to be interesting to see how many get donuts now, or have to trade Sandi out.

I just hope Smith doesn't get rested ... Should be safe for this week at least though coming off the bye.

Kepler Bradley is an underrated big-man.... if I was a brave man, you'd almost pick him to shine in Sandi's absense

We need Kep up forward as he is a great target there and kicking goals (5th in Coleman)

Valk is right we need bradley up forward but hopefully Griffin can be the main man for at least a couple of weeks

to work out if Pav can fill the void up forward with a Griffin / Bradley combo

or is it worth a Griffin / Johnson combo to keep Pav in the middle?

KEPLER! :D

I think we should drop Johnson and run with Clarke/Griffin combo.

I don't like clarke but thats just me i would have preferred that we got another recognized ruck and delisted clarke last year...

Gotta give Clarke time to develop - he only turned 21 in March.

Cicjose · May 23, 2011, 08:38:42 PM

i know but for me he seems to get lost on the field at AFL level..... and its not as tho you have world class ruckman to compete with at WAFL level... Luke Adams was at the best club at that level last year but i don't know how his numbers would stack against Clarke.....

Massive out (literally)
