Round 17 Discussion

[Mr.Craig]

We're going to need to pull something out of the bag for this one, I was pessimistic about our chances even before the Kangaroos game. Woodward has been named in the best for Box Hill the last five weeks. Langford, Simpkin and Cheney are all in form. It's seriously time to give Hale a rest, either we bring McEvoy back in or give Lowden a crack considering he kicked 4 on the weekend.

Gotta be brave and shake things up.

[Nige]

Wouldn't they be less likely to make changes to a losing side and be reluctant to bring in kids (Woodward, Langford) in a big, must win game?

[JBs-Hawks]

Gotta get rid of this Ben Ross spud too

Considering the form that Hill has been in, I'd back one of those two in ahead of him atm. The safe option for Sewell would be Simpkin but there's Hallahan hanging around too. Experience aside, it should come down to who the best 22 available is and right now I think we're carrying a few guys who need a rest or a stint in the seconds.

Do you agree with JB on his Ben Ross call? Is his position in jeopardy?

I don't think he's done enough to hold his spot, no.

[Scrads]

Agree with the consensus that there will be changes.

Possible outs are Hale, Lake and Ross. Sewell a definite out.

Potential ins are a plenty though. As mentioned previously, Hill, Langford, Hallahan, McEvoy, Lowden, Woodward, Simpkin, Cheney all lurking. If Lake misses, I'd like to see all 4 of the above miss and bring in Hill, McEvoy, Cheney and give Woodward a run.

I have a sick feeling in my stomach that this will be the week Ceglar makes way for McEvoy however.

[Nige]

Ceglar's been way too good to drop.

Surely you'd cut short Hale's career instead.  :o

[tor01doc]

Cheney in for Lake

Langford in for Sewell

Hill in for Ross

And then there's the usual 13 injuries to deal with!  ::)

[Rusty00]

Going to this game, but can't say I'm filled with confidence :-\

We've just been coasting for a while. Not playing particularly well, but doing enough to generally win until last week.

Hopefully we get a response this week, because that was a pretty poor showing against the Roos.

[JBs-Hawks]

Going to the game but might have to do a Nails and sit by myself since the Hawks would only give me one ticket and my crows mates are struggling to get a general ad ticket.

[Mr.Craig]

I'll be in Melbourne at the Port game. ::)

[Scrads]

Confirmed: McEvoy in for Hale.

Woodward also on the plane over (but could still be emergency). Sewell is a definite out and Ross is a potential out. Wish I knew who else was on the plane :P (Langford, Hallahan, Simpkin around the mark).

[Nige]

Really hoping Woodward finally gets a game.

[LF]

Yay McEvoy in is great for my Euros team
