Imagine if we play Hooker as a permanent forward and give Stewart a go as the swing man during the game.
He can sing? Multi talented.
Edit: Doh you fixed it. now I look stupid!
Good ins for the Weagles as well
What excites me the most is that weāre actually putting games into a quality young ruckman instead of playing duds like TBC and Mckernan
Pretty happy with the side, if we had a full strength side with players in form, would only be looking for Raz, Francis, Redman and McKenna for Snelling, Gleeson, Guelfi and Clarke.
But Iām not complaining.
You mean the same Redman they just dropped?
WERE GUNNA
I did qualify it as players in form, Redmanās form last year was best 22.
A year ago we could only dream of having to omit an in-form ruckman for team ābalanceā.
Seems batsh*t insane to play Daniher but whatever.
Doesnāt it just, I mean WTAF?!
Yep Woosh said that previously
They also only had him play 80% game time and ball was hardly in our fwd line for first half
Did bugger all in our main training session this week based on reports so should be good to go
May not play vs Cats however
Great to see my boy Hooker make it to 200 games. I was first on his train way back when and will be the last off it. Even asked for his number on the jumper from the club. Impressive effort by the big fella, one of only a handful of all the blokes that have played for the club to make it to 200 games. We seriously need to celebrate with a win over the West Cokes.
Kennedy out leaves a big hole in the forward line.
I hope Hepp can impact the game. Last time he came back he was underdone.
Why the need to be so conservative with Daniher?
Stewart came back from the same surgery and has played 6 games in a row (7th coming up) off short turnarounds.
Because Joe is crucial to future success and has more severe OP than Stewart. i like James but hes not anywhere close to the level of Joe.
Youāre implying weāre taking a big risk with Stewart.
Maybe thereās simply no risk anymore based on how Joe has recovered.
They do apparently train them at greater loads than in games so if been recovering fine in that lead up block then likely no issue.
We did the same thing last year by playing him in 3 games with a short turnaround. if we are fairdinkum with his recovery, we need to be cautious
