Sinclair, Murdoch and Lee will be cut from the starting line up. Meaning Pierce, Acres, Minchington, Mckenzie and Delaney will play. Pierce, Membrey and Bruce will start up forward. Can't see McKenzie or Murdoch playing. With neither Fisher nor Dempster playing I reckon Richo is forced into playing...

Definitely The Troggs. "Wild Thing " was their huge hit from the beautiful year 1966. That song was one of many with great lyrics from that year, but none more delightful than "Hit the Boundary Line " ( regrettably illegal 50 years later ).

[quote="BringBackMadDog"]If Roo and McCartin don't play I would like to see Pierce get a run at it, his form for Sandy this year has been outstanding and he has improved out of sight. Lee has to come in for Goddard, this is his last chance to show he has what it takes. Acres should also be...

Well organised Kosi. Good stuff.

Out: Sinclair D-Mac!!!!!

Agree. I think travelling emergencies will be DMac and one of the bigger guys - maybe Lee. I would like to see Sinclair have a run in the midfield at Sandy .

I admit that prior to this season I did not think he would develop into a top class player. He really has gone to another level. It is not just his in-and-under ability - his pass in the last quarter that led to a goal was a cracker. As he has only just turned 23, the trajectory is definitely still ...

He was a bit quiet today, and got run off in the 3rd quarter quite a lot. He will be a player just needs to work harder and build a tank to be a regular senior player I was sitting very close to the interchange bench. He was off a lot ( I see from the stats this morning he was on for only 61% of ga...

I was there. Plus I went for its conclusion where a lot less attended. So I am one of the few that can say that I attended the longest AFL/VFL game in history. Very surreal as one assumed that they would just turned the lights back on after a few munutes. But no, pitch black for all! I am still ann...

I remember storming out of the house in the last quarter as they ran over us. Craig Devonport and Daniel Metropolis- what a couple of Coodabeens ! Hardly the inside midfielder type. Devonport was such an enigma. I was in Sydney and saw him kick 11 in a reserves game at age 17, playing on Mark Browni...

Our defenders were fabulous yesterday, but on the big WA ground, where it will be harder for Roo to work back to help, I think they will need a hand . If Roberton is fit I would bring him straight in. If not, one of Lee or Goddard. I think it was telling that in the last quarter, with the game to be...

Why was that not a free to hickey? Clearly bumped in back causing interference. Scores level at time........ Livid Just watched it again in slo mo. Definitely a free to Hickey. Plus they injured his leg when they squashed him in that contest, which meant he struggled to the next ruck contest, which...

Yes, and we hate to wait for Richo in the presser to let us know it was concussion. I was listening to 693 AM radio on the way him from the game. Their interviewer was in the NM rooms after the game interviewing Petrie - fair enough. He was then asked about injuries. He talked about Higgins and Well...

Unfortunately, unlike last week, many of the youngsters are not stepping up to support the veterans. Roo, Joey, Gilbo all strong. Need more from Bruce, Membrey, Billings, Lonie, Acres, Minch . Also it looks like they need to practise their set shots from 52- they've had plenty of them.

Stand Alone teams .... Expensive, and as soon as a few injuries hit... They are useless. And that hinders development ... Kids need to developed into winners, with professional habits. You need 6-8 state league gun non listed players who keep the seconds competitive regardless of AFL injuries I agr...

I am fired up for this one too. I will be away for work for the next fortnight after this match ( back in time to see the Freo game, thank goodness ) , so I am hoping for an effort from the boys that will sustain me for that period. It actually is more enjoyable going to the games this year than it ...

I remember him too from a stint I had in the cheer squad in the 70s. I see there has been some questioning of the current cheer squad on this forum , but geez it was hard work in those days behind the goals at Windy Hill or Victoria Park or particularly at Carlton ( where Hawthorn also played) , in ...

Pleasing to see NOK named second best for Sandy Development team today in his first game back from injury. Brenton Payne also returned today, though not named in the best .

No need to apologise for those words, ralphsmith- beautifully written. Great post.

For this match we swapped a midfielder ( Acres ) for a tall back ( Lee). ( Membrey for McCartin, and Gresham for Lonie were more like-for-like swaps). For North, with their 3 genuine talls, we need to reverse that. Neither Lee nor Goddard were named in best for Sandy tonight, but based on his game l...

Roo - 3 goals, 24disp, 14 marks. Acres - was everywhere for the most part, stood up in several tackles. Hickey - 2 straight weeks of great performances against top ruckman Membrey - feels weird having a 5 goal guy this low, found his spots well and didn't force anything Sinclair - involvement up th...

Similar to the dropping of Bradman. He kicked on a bit when he got back in.
