DVR, Graham, Jaksch, Boekhorst, Wood need to shine,
1AW in trainwreck mode needs to be dropped White - good warrior but rested and gave little Lamb - worst game of the year looked tired though - won't drop Rowe - worst game of the year - won't drop
1AW and White should be dropped though to find form in VFL.
There is no way C.Curnow will be back within two months let alone two weeks. I'm not sure of the current thinking but years ago it was thought the worse thing a GF sufferer can do is over-exert themselves during recuperation. It can set them up for years of relapses. Gentle exercise used to be the call, long walks, gentle bike rides, aqua-aerobics, etc., etc..
Gorringe will have his work cut out in his first game. In fact, the entire team will have a huge challenge to be competitive.
It's interesting that Wood is an emergency. Does that mean he's been upgraded in place of Charlie Curnow?
McKay was placed on LTI when he was first injured. Curnow is at the club on light duties but not sure when he will be fit again. Could be two weeks could be two months no one knows but is improving.
Very much maligned. If you're not top 10 player at the club you will be dropped - just ridiculous.
has had three below average years.. all the others have been extremely good. Do we forget the games where he defeated Goddard, Goodes etc when playing in the backline as 23 year old?
He was riddled with injury and form in 2012 + 2013 then played the whole of 2014 in the middle and was a star (best and fairest) 2015 was injury hit but this year so far he is in career best form as you would expect someone in their peak and will continue for another three years.
Don't think this team can afford too many injuries and not liking what I hear from Gorringe. Agree with laj Rowe has to ruck and bring in Jaksch to play forward & Weitering if fit to play in the backline. Rowie will need to play all game in the ruck against Goldstein and will get 100 hit outs. Just need to keep doing what we are doing not doubting Boltons talents one iota and pull a rabbit out of the hat
Jones was OK today but he thinks slowly. He's got very good leg speed for a bloke his size but a couple of times today he hesitated momentarily before he chased, it's as if he loses touch with the game sometimes, or is so focussed on his own game that he forgets the simple things. He's never going to be a top player but we might finally get some value from him.
