Groin soreness I hear.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

You're shitting me.

Wow, interesting team:

- No Pods is bloody annoying...but no second ruck? I know the Lions are probably going to be undersized, but still.

- Duncan's fit enough to be named emergency, but not fit enough to be in the team. I guess they didn't want to drop Hogan...hopefully he plays a blinder.

word/rumour on the afl chat with Stanger and Mayor is that Chappy will be replaced by Duncan

Dissapointing about the jPOD - especially considering the Lions have no Merret, Drummond, Brennan and Clarke. Really could have exploited that - but perhaps not a bad thing to include a more mobile forward line given that Maguire and Staker aren't very mobile.

Still - jPOD missing is suddenly a big out! Hope he is nice and fresh for the Collingwood game

Surely Pods will be back next week!?!?!?!? Ludacris!!

Re: Round 8 Teams - Brisbane vs. Geelong

So Pods out , in a week or 2 it is Chapmans turn to be dropped then again about round 19 or 20

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I hope he is fit for Collingwood, I just got my TSHIRT today.

Surely Simpson/Gamble will play, we need another tall.

Good to see Hogan retained, hope he plays well.

Still think Chappy might be a late withdrawal. If it's good enough for a sore Pods to be rested.....

Brisbane only named one ruckman so maybe. But Blake can't ruck a whole game. Maybe Mooney for 5 mins, and a small setup?

I still think Dawson will be a late inclusion.

Get well soon Podsy.

Re: Round 8 Teams - Brisbane vs. Geelong

I'll be honest the first thing I worred about when I saw 'Pods dropped' was my dreamteam.

This makes it interesting on Saturday, it could well be Lonners that's back up forward..oh joy..

TJ DROPPED? Interesting...

 

[burto]

He didn't look too sore when slotting through an easy five sausages against Sydney.

I'd be dissapointed in the club if Pods has been pushed out solely to let Stokes in, as much as I like Stokes. Pods is clearly our best forward.

 

[UnderatedEnright]

Damn! Was looking forward to seeing the jPod on TV for the 1st time

 

[Selective Retention]

Maybe he has a fear of flying or something

D.Simpson late change on the cards I think OR Lonergan up forward when Moons or Hawk ruck

 

[hamG]

Taking a simplistic view, we have lost 5 goals from the team in a big match.

I've got no faith in Hawkins to kick a bag, hopefully watching Pods has given him a kick in the ass.

Re: Pods ..DROPPED ...why ?

First Duncan, now Pods. The worry i have is Duncan should be in the side and so should pods

Yep, there is no way that any either Pods or Duncan could have been dropped for poor form. Unless they are suffering genuine injuries/soreness.

Agreed...I am sad, but at the end of the day if he does have an injury, it's the right call.

My DT really needs Duncan to be a late inclusion, but not at the expense of Chappy.

 

[CF]

whenever "soreness" is used as a reason for omission then it just a planned rest week for that player most of the time.

I agree...Pods is critical. If Chappy doesn't play, and Mooney has to go ruck, I really struggle to see us winning.

Hopefully the smalls can kick some goals.

Hawk better get fired up, Pods is way ahead of him.

Re: Pods ..DROPPED ...why ?

Typical rest after a few games straight.
