This doesn't make sense. Campbell I thought wasn't playing this weekend and Razor was ??? I think we are playing funny buggers again.

Glad to see Kayne is getting a run at Coburg. Although I think he might be recalled if Campo doesn't show.

 

[DragicevicFan]

Whats happened to Fleming's calf strain??

 

[shawry]

Not happy Pettifer was dropped. Also not happy if they are playing funny buggers.
Fair enough on Pettifer though if he is going to get a full gmae , but i still think Fleming or King should have gone before Kayne. Fleming did kick 2 goals but did jack all else. King did well last week buti still ahve some personal bias and would like to see him do it two weeks in a row. Kayne didnt do too bad for the time he was oa nther field, although some time at Coburg may do him good getting a full game on teh ball.

good team...here's to a win...and Holland and hall dominating in the magoos.

 

[iLoVeNeWmAn]

Here's CHEERS to my avitar and he's powerful words - onya Martin, I knew you were the one to give Danny and the boys the balls to send Pettifer to the magoos 4eva!!!

As for you Shawry and your sadness at the dropping of Kayne Pettifer - let me just remind you that ONE semi, sort of half decent, once in a blue moon, flash in the pan, average game against the Bummers does not mean you deserve to be in the side. It's that mentality that will win us a spoon, not a flag!!!

If it were the Glenelg Tigers we were talking about, KP might get named on the interchange at best - shew Kayne, don't bother us, shew Kayne, don't booother us.......................

Team looks good, however I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Staff and Campbell miss, and possibly even Cogs.

Hope not, GO THE TIGERS!!!

 

[crackertiger]

Why oh why is King in this side?

Frawley must think he is the only other on ball option we have apart from Rodan. We would be better of giving Hyde or Pettifer a chance in the midfield.

This realy ***king *smile* me.

King, go back to Coburg where you belong, you are a hack.

 

[TigerFurious]

Bad luck Kayne ;D

 

[Tigerdog]

This just doesn't make any sense anymore.. the way I see it Staff is least doubtful followed by Cogs then Flemming then Campbell. And assuming Hall isn't fit and Kellaway isn't named as an emergency or Hyde or Macgrath or Schulz then it looks like Danny's now infamous statement, from a few weeks back about not playing guys with injuries, is a complete crock. Of course you want to win every game but it has been proven time and again if a bloke carries a niggle into a game, particularly a hammy calf quad or groin, the chances of aggravating this injury would have to close to 90 percent!!
Bidders will play so will Pettifer beyond that who knows... it really *smile* me that there is bugger all honesty in the selection of these teams these days.
Just because Sheedy (who borders on insanity these days when it comes to football) does it so much, doesn't mean we have to!

 

[Tigerdog]

If Coburg play this Saturday it will give us a better indicatipon of what's happening. Unless Hall sits out the game for pure deception. :

 

[Harry]

PETTIFER IS OUT - YES!!! (lets all do a little dance of joy). This will be short-lived however as there is no way Campbell is playing. Frawely's getting pretty good with these little mind games - you had me there for a sec spud - you funny bugger - hahahahahahahaha.
If you really want to play mind games danny try naming Daffy for next weeks game ;D.

 

[gustiger12]

Reckon HYDE or even BIDDISCOMBE would be a better inclusion than KING.. I have nothing against KING as he is a goer, but he is to easily forced off the ball for a midfielder and can't kick over a Jam tin.

No good winning the ball and kicking it to the opposition. They already have a full team. We don't need to help them.

 

[iLoVeNeWmAn]

Just a quick and probably an irrelevant observation at Richmond's training on Wednesday.

Rory Hilton (and Marty McGrath) were the only 2 players not to wear their correct numbers on their backs from all the players present with Rory donning the no.40 guernsy.

May be a sign of things to come for Rory if he keeps playing like a slug!

My prediction though - 3 goals from the number 1 this week!

 

[JohnF]

LMAO, another classic caption to go with your avatar TigerFurious!

Thought Biddiscombe had done enough tagging Embley last week to justify his spot in the team for another week. (Co)burger King had a good 1st quarter and was useless thereafter, should be given the ass! Pettifer should join him in the seconds. Should Fleming and Campbell not make it we should bring in Hyde and Hall, unless of course Hall is still injured, in which case bring in the sargeant.

 

[shawry]

Newman: Kayne had a good game last week for the 60 odd minutes he was in the side last week. I still reckon he gets a raw deal. And it just so happens i live in SA and do support hte Glenelg Tigers aswell. They are improving and no longer cellar dwellers.

 

[Rampaging_Richo]

Agree on Pettifer Shawry. I thought he did some good things against W Coast. But maybe a few weeks on the ball for Coburg is needed even from a match fitness POV.

Campbo should not play. Calf injuries are the worst for happening again and again.

If he is to go out, I want Hall in. We need some more height to combat Goodes.

 

[shawry]

Agree on all points Rampaging Richo. I do see benefit in Pettifer playing a full game for Coburg too.

 

[Tigerblood]

If Hall is fit, why isn't he in the team? We are desperately short on height. And if he isn't fit, why is he named as emergency at all? I don't get it.

 

[Rampaging_Richo]

It was always a ruse by Danny & Co. Hall was always going to come in for Campbo.

 

[DragicevicFan]

Hall would be quite an almost perfect matchup for Goodes i would have thought.

He trained well today, the likely inclusion IMO
