Zaharakis said Hardingham and Hooker are fine and should play

Ajax22

Good stuff

Worrying news about Ellis, hopefully he gets another shot and destroys it to hold his place

Good news for Couch owners, not so good for us that don't have him. Would have preferred he stays out for a few more weeks to be a downgrade target

Colliwobblers

suxks about ellis theres always going to be one rook that spuds it up and is in and out of the team, a few games in the magoos and he should be back talented kid.

Will be watching Buntine and adams when they debut for the giants gun + gun and i need a replacement for howard and potentially ledger.

Nice work modifying and posting up the list Ricochet

He was ok for his first game .. think ill be starting Bugg over him for now tho

crabapples

Yeh i had buggalugs on the bench ellis on field, at worst i agree with colliwoblers ellis will b ok

picker_man

how about smeldts? reckon he will get another game this week?

crabapples

Horlin-smith i reckon... I had him in my side early on so i wanna see him get a game :)

mezzoculo

Yeah, let's not forget that Morris and Ellis played against a forward line that included Betts and Gartlett. That's tough for most teams to deal with.

Windigo

I think Smedts is safe. Scarlett out helps his chances.  ;)

picker_man

good point im going to risk him on the field this week for either ellis / morris

Justin Bieber

Ellis???? Wtf!! I have no replacement cause Morris sucks. Why don't they replace him?

Ricochet

Morris will be alright mate. Richmond have a tough first up draw that's all
