I can’t wait to be typing ‘IF LAVERDE DOESN’T PLAY GONNA THROW WOOSHA FROM THE TOP DECK AT THE G’

Exclude Saad and McKenna who do you play on the premier small forwards?

samwoods · February 27, 2019, 9:43am

We had some arguments over whether Hooker, Hurley, Francis and Ambrose could play in the one backline. Too tall?

Well take out Hooker and put in Hartley, and the coaches must think it might work.

Will be interesting to see how it goes.

He’s been best 22 since 2015. What are you talking about? I don’t think we have anyone with his skill set (height, pace, tank, play reading ability) who has gone past him.

Dumb question, it’s been a long day but parking at Ikon Park - likely or unlikely?

Yep. Bomber threw him in for a few games over the 2014 season and he showed a bit of promise, and since then he’s been fixture when fit

Bomb_Doe · February 27, 2019, 10:05am

How good to see Joey listed. It’s a very positive sign on what is still a careful journey back. Here’s hoping for a successful return.

Deckham · February 27, 2019, 10:07am

We can’t lose, really.

Deckham · February 27, 2019, 10:09am

Be cause he is in the ‘managed’ brigade.

I asked previously amd I have checked a few places out. Kinda depends on which direction but the back streets immediately surrounding will clog up and take ages to get out of. Best to go between Lygon and Nicholson or off Sydney Rd and catch tram a few stops.

Killer_Mike · February 27, 2019, 10:12am

How does that work?

Houli_Dooli · February 27, 2019, 10:14am

Competition for spots heats up
Long v Ridley
Ambrose v Hartley if Hooker not ready round 1
Mitch Brown v Mckernan

Then bench players just need to put best foot forward - Jok, Guelfi, Laverde, Baguley
If they can be impact players maybe a bench spot is on the cards.

Plus we gotta fit these guys in too
In: Hooker, McKenna, Fantasia
And Myers.

It’s interesting naming Long in the ground and mckenna on the bench.

Carlton have a tall forwardline posted so 4 tall defendees May work ok this week
McKay Hurley
curnow Ambrose
Phillips/Lobbe Hartley
McGovern Francis

Thanks heaps for this info mate, it’s really helpful. I’ll take your advice and park between Lygon and Nicholson or off Sydney Road.

ivan · February 27, 2019, 10:29am

It will not matter, the ball ain’t getting in there

With all due respect Ivan, he hasn’t played a proper match for 18 months, and he’s still not back to full fitness.
Let’s see if he can get his tank, leap, awareness back first, and reassess where he fits.
Gleeson had a lot of opportunities to get to where he was, who is to say Lav, Guelfi, Ridley, D Clarke couldn’t do the job just as well?
With our “walk up starts” being Hooker and Hurly as our big guys down back, Saad and McKenna our quicks, plus Francis, I don’t think Gleeson is necessarily the missing link. There’s Ambrose and Dea to consider, plus it’s a good spot to give someone an apprenticeship.
That’s how I see it anyway.
