Alright said the stout controller, you're in Jed!

Hooray! said Thomas. Well done! said Jizzy.

And off they went to sleep.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Our forward line looks a bit thin, going to need a 3 goal cameo from Westy or Jimmy Harmes and plenty of goals from the midfield.

In Harmes we trust

 

[dogwatch]

L Jones (34) and T Duryea (happy 34th birthday Doc) as emergencies. Definitely a changing of the guard! Lobb, JJ and Libba the only over 30s.

The sub will be an interesting call. No way it will be Davidson (the Doc Apparent) and unlikely to be Harmes because we'd assume he's now fully fit. Besides we'll need the hardness and the experience he brings. They seldom make one player sub two weeks in a row so probably not Hynes (but he did have 61% ToG last week which is close to a normal game). So it will probably be between Cleary and Dolan. Dolan has been sub every second game for the last month and could very well be sub again. However Cleary seems the more flexible because he could come on for a small or (with some shuffling of Khamis etc) for a tall.

Hynes would be my pick, but failing that, Cleary.

Oh boy... We are in for a rough ride

This is why Bevo is a great coach and we’re threatening year after year for 10 years now. Not afraid to make the tough calls. Macrae, Daniel now Jones. He knows when players are ready to get in but also knows when it’s time to move on. Jones timing has been off all year. Maybe it’s a temporary form thing, maybe age is finally catching up but let’s pull the pin and change it up and find out.

Week after week we will have plenty of chances to score

Haven't been to Manuka. Thinking of driving up.

Surprised at their seat costs... $40 for general admission? Having a lend.

Bold call

and Duryea

and Duryea

Duryea needs two more games to get to 100 for us. Hopefully he clocks those up at some stage but I dare say this will be his last year on the list.

That sounds expensive

Pack warm clothes.

I went a few years ago and it was bloody freezing.

That sounds expensive

$25 for a 4 year old in GA

Making up for poor crowds with inflated prices and fake crowd sounds

Called out Jones’ form the other day.
Constantly flies to fist the footy and allows the ball to spill out the back. Happened multiple times on the weekend. Deserves time in the twos. Needs some touch.

 

[lachy]

Jones has been out of form but we don't exactly have tall defenders who can match the best forwards for speed on a lead. He was the only one...

Yeah, could not disagree more, that bloke Lobb is not exactly slow and has been our best KPD since going back for some time now

 

[lachy]

I agree Jones has been down but he has a lot of credits in the bank, plus we are down on talls. That's why I suspect it's more than simply dropped, but maybe

Not KPD'S

 

[lachy]

Lobb first for me

By a margin, also the best to replace Darcy, can we clone him

 

[lachy]

JOD to play back? He did go to FB during the pre-season

Was back last week

Bit more for 2 Adults $88 in premium. Still cheap compared to most competitors these days

 

[Al dente]

It's great that we have the balls to do it

He has been shocking the last 3 weeks

Hopefully he can reset and get his judgement back

why are people doubting the Jones decision and making excuses.
Jones needs to spoil and intercept very well to make up for his deficiencies (kicking, decision making). he is not doing either currently.
he is a liability, headless chook at the moment. constantly letting the ball and his man out the back. not marking well
why would you play an older guy in that kind of form over young ones. great call Bevo.

go Buss! one of the most long awaited debuts i can remember

Pack warm clothes.

Haven't decided what to do still. There's a fair chance it is wet and there isn't really any cover available

Latest BoM forecast:



That's a whole lot better than a couple of days ago when they said it could be as much as 9mm.
There will probably be cloud cover which will stop it from being too cold. Like right now in Canberra it's about 13.5 degrees, not much less than it was in Melbourne at the same time last night (15.1).
But do bring warm clothes just in case

I'm going and I'll be in the open (Hill stand). I'll take a raincoat and probably put some thermals on.

It's fine up here this year. Warmest it has ever been and not getting cold

Just when you think Bevo has stopped making weird risky calls - he does it again.

You’ve got Lobb, Khamis and a debutant - minimal defensive nous there against Hogan, Stringer and Greene.

Remember the Port game last year - Jones went out at the last minute. Defence was a shambles.

Lobb likely to be needed elsewhere as well. Buss needs to be bought in with someone to help him - not get thrown to the wolves.
