Round 4 Team Announcements

[Jroo]

Haha, at the moment it doesn't look like it does it :P King was very average on the weekend, but his defensive pressure is pretty important for us when he's fit. However I have a feeling Lloyd might be a bit more dangerous and skilful around goals than Kingy!

Well said, King is important for us still, but hasn't been great so far. I like the selection of Lloyd, think he can do well.

[Mr.Craig]

I'm very surprised that Chapman has been named and given he's not on the extended bench it appears he won't be cut tomorrow. Not sure why they feel the need to risk him at this end of the season.

Jobe stated on the Footy Show that Chappy will travel but will have to get through Saturday training in order to play.

Personally I think he wouldn't have flown if he wasn't a certainty to play on Sunday.

Where the hell is Big Boy? Ruins everything that guy.

[RoughRed]

where is Hutchings...???

:o

[Noz]

Chappy will start as the sub you would reckon.

I'm not just talking about McEvoy here, but it showers me when players don't show any obvious signs of injury during a game and then you suddenly discover they are out for like six weeks. If one of my players gets injured I want to see a limb detach or something, at least I know where I stand then.

Unless its your leg then you won't be standing at all.

[Mr.Craig]

It's been quite some time since I was legless.

Hearing rumours in the Doggies camp that Ryan Griffen might be a late withdrawal.

if he is, then he'll be a perfect downgrade target post-byes

Also could mean that Bontempelli could play his first game.

It's a problem with the amount of disclosure given out by clubs. There's no obligation on them to report on every niggle to help out your fantasy team, although we really wish they would.

No idea how long McEvoy is actually gone for, but he's gone from my team. These phantom injuries can last weeks, so who really knows, better to bite the bullet.

"McEvoy just hasn't quite recovered. It hasn't settled as well as we'd like. He was close to play this week though." #ClarkoPresser

If the guy's a late out, then it should be top priority for them to explain why and give a timeframe on his injury
okay.... maybe more so for the bigger names (as they bring the fans through the gates), but still
