SMACK!

[Bomb_Doe]

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

Jake can’t argue he isn’t being given a good opportunity to impress.

Plus it’s what you use a practice match for. To see how others step up if the club has to name him in the starting 18.

[Mr_Sunbury_1]

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

I honestly think he should struggle to get a game this season. I don’t see any reason why he should be a walk up start. Our team will grow so much more with Langford, Parish, Laverde etc ahead of him and we have Shiel to fit in from last year’s team. He isn’t pushing Smith, Heppell, Merrett, Zaharakis, McGrath etc out either. He’s a one sided, one dimensional, one position player we should move on from rather quickly IMO.

[Deckham]

Well on the one hand, watching Langerd smash that poser would be delightful. On the other hand, it would be a hoot seeing your reaction should Cripps pants him.

[ivan]

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.

Yes obviously he’s got to prove his fitness First and yes he may not be the same player he was but all things being equal he is best 22. Perhaps I misconstrued aboods’s post

[samwoods]

What do we reckon team, will this be shown on the AFL live App???

[Jake_Brady_10]

SMACK LAV
all on the floor
SMACK LAV
Give me some more

[Killer_Mike]

I won’t enjoy it that’s for certain.

I would hope you don’t get any enjoyment out of it either being a Fark Carlton player.

[cul_de_sac]

Do club memberships still get you into preseason games for free? I’ve got to start work at about half time, literally just up the road. I’d pop in to watch the first half but not if I have to pay

[domaura]

Cripps would make our best 22 and we’d like him in our best 22

Any chance we could ever have him at EFC?

[Deckham]

Bitter sweet.
Like my women.

[barnz]

whatever happened to akon?

[Maxx]

It wasnt too long ago and will probably be brought up again over the next few weeks that we’re lacking big mids to compete with the others across the league. If Langford and Stringer don’t bash n crash in stoppages and we’re only breaking even in stoppages the discussions will come again that we have drafted and traded in small players and haven’t acquired a big mid.
Myers will play, but it would be great if Langford can start to show he’s capable of taking over that role and silence the external critics.

[hambo]

For General Admission it’s five bucks plus booking fee when I looked up ticketmaster, ten bucks for a seat.

[cul_de_sac]

5 bucks? That could work

[Killer_Mike]

We were mid table for clearances this year.

Swans, Hawks, Eagles and Tigers all averaged less.

Tigers in fact were second last.

[hambo]

Yeah but 8 bucks with the booking fee. Doesn;t look like there are any reserved seats left.

[The_Real_Pumpa35]

Strangely this game isnt on the afl app schedule what the hell are those fools at AWFUL house doing

[hambo]

coke

[Dons-All-The-Way]

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

I reckon Guelfi would do really well. Not sure if has trained there at all, just based on his competiveness and tackling. Seems to also be reasonable 1 on 1 in marking.
