Round 1 Discussion

[Jroo]

Not sure if we can play Hampson, O, Griffiths & Vickery in the same team, who would miss out?

O should.
Is Ty Vickery 100%? He should line up in round one still.

[Nige]

Yeah, I think Orren should miss.

Griff and Ty can pinch hit, Orren's insurance.

[nickstiges]

Yeah I agree that O would miss out of those 4 but also who would miss for all of them to play in the one team?
I just don't think Dimma would go that tall against anyone other than maybe West Coast or Sydney.

[Vinny]

Gutted Miles wasn't elevated, that's BS!

[Nige]

Well, not really... Both were elevated for good reason.

Miles will get his chance.

[Vinny]

From what I saw and thought I thought Miles > Thomas easily, no doubt Thomas was good though.

Just think with his talent he deserves to be playing AFL, regularly.

Lack of Dan Jackson for Round 1 would have been a factor.

Tank will look to shutdown GAJ as best as he can and limit his influence which is what Jacko would have likely done.

That and he's a bit more experienced than Miles is so in a game we really should/need to win, it's probably the safer move. 

[Vinny]

Mm, that's fair enough.

[quinny88]

Yeah im happy with Thommo. Tackling machine and a genuine tagging option.

Vinny doesnt like it because he will keep Murph to donuts in round 2  :P ;D

[Vinny]

Murphy will be BOG ;)

[Nige]

Murphy will struggle to shake the hard tag

FTFY.

[Vinny]

Not as much as Cotch did last time we played.

[Nige]

You're treading dangerous territory young Vincenzo.  ;)

[Vinny]

Hahaha I know ;D

[quinny88]

Whats your team look like for this game boys? I would like to see..

B:   Grimes, Chaplin, Morris
HB: Houli,  Rance, Martin
C:   Ellis, Deledio, Conca
HF: Titch, Riewoldt, Newy
FF:  King, Vickery, Griffiths
Foll: Hampson, Cotchin, Thomas

Int: Vlastuin, Grigg, McDonough, Sub: Foley

Emg: Petterd, Astbury, Stephenson

Going to be warm and humid up there this time of year so would rather we went with a smaller side with a bit of extra pace.
Thomas gets the job on Gaz (poor barbie), left Knights out because I think he needs a bit more match fitness. Grimes is ahead of Astbury still in my books, Griffiths has demanded a spot.. Its funny that Chocco made Griff his project this year and were already seeing the benefits. McDonough has surely done enough and would be really stiff to miss out
