J.Cloke may stay in to sure up the backline, with mooney, kingsly, ottens and gardiner. You would suggest Waklin- Ottens, Mooney - Presti, Clemant - Kingsly, Maxwell - Gardiner. What if one struggles, he should in this week, unless T.Cloke will go back as well....

It might be rocket science, though!

It's a lay-down misere that Bucks will return this week and, IMO, we badly missed Travis as a third tall against the Weagles, so trust he's fit and well this week to come straight back in.

Earlier in the week, I said that we needed another ruckman because King (who has murdered Fraser in the past) and Ottens dominated against St Kilda last week and we couldn't afford to go with only Fraser. Therefore, I expected Richards to come back in, but have had a change of heart. Cam Cloke did a good job on these two guys last year and has that bit of mongrel I love to see, so think he should get the nod instead of Richards.

Pendles needs more time at Willi to overcome the setback of glandular fever late last year and I see no reason to rush Shawry back yet. Both will get their opportunity soon enough.

In: Buckley, C Cloke, T Cloke
Out: O'Brien (back to rookie list), J Cloke (Cam should have played last weekend, too), Caracella (unlucky)

i think thats the way MM will see it too...

except i recon MM will bring in Richards (because Richards is his new pet that he gives 5 more chances to than everyone else)

however i would much rather see Cam taking second ruck and playing forward... that would really stretch the cats and may have to put Mooney in defence which would be a plus for us...

Great memory, mate! :lol:

Actually, the reason I thought Richards would get the gig in the first instance was only because he's been played nearly every game this year and was clearly the apple of MM's eye. I changed my mind because I came across a piece which pointed out that Cam grabbed 17 hitouts last year against King and Ottens. Since Cam can play forward, is better around the ground than Richards and because MM is notorious for picking "horses for courses", I figured Cam would get the nod. I hope so anyway!

I'll also remember I need to ramp up my bagging of Richards! :D

Out : Harry, Carra
In : Cam, Bucks

Simple as that people.

WIth harry gone for now you cant take Jason or Maxwell out of the side with him because it leaves us very very think down back against a potentially big Geelong forward Line.

I had a good laugh at the posters here who omitted 3 backman for 3 forwards.. Do you have a brain?

Cam was excellent the last time we played against Geelong and needs to come in before Richards who would get bruised and battered against Ottens and King.
While i like Carra a lot, he is unfortunately the odd one out for Bucks to come in.

I really hope that Jason is able to cement his spot in the coming weeks. Shut a few haters here up. We are a better side when he is playing his best football.

The more I think about it, the less likely i think it will be that Jason will be dropped. With Harry gone (for now), it opens up the ideal spot on a HBF for Jason. My feeling is the guy deserves at least one more week to show us what he's got.

with Bucks coming in for Harry, I can't see MM making more than one or at the most two other changes. I suspect we'll simply see one other big guy (Richards, Cam, or Travis) come in for either Maxwell or Caracella.

i think that this may be the week MM makes a few changes to combat the return from hell that is coming back from subi. Its the toughest road trip of the year and really hard to back up from. For mine bucks is a deffinate and so is TCLO. We will need a back up ruckman and possibly a fast wingman to expose geelongs lack of lightning mids.

If it was my choice:
IN: Buckley, Cam Cloke, Pendles, Travis Cloke
OUT: Harry (rookie list), Carrots (Omitted, not as good as bucks who can take the sweeper role on the HBF or as a HFF) Maxwell and JClo (Both had shockers last week, maxwell 2 in a row, and lack of match ups.)

and a look at those changes "on field"

FB: Lockyer Presti Clement

HB: Bucks Wakelin Heater

C: Johnno Lica Lonie

HF: Taz TCLo Didak

FF: Thomas Rocca Burns

Foll: Fraser Swan Obree

Inter: Holland, Pendles, Davis, Cam Cloke

Cameron Cloke or Richards? It may boil down to Richards having played senior footy this year..Cameron doing ok in the 'seconds'. MM may think that CC may be an occasional option up forward for short bursts...posing then, the dilemna to man him up...and he can kick a goal... or Richards...might be bullied a bit by the likes of Mooney, and King's no pee wee either..Richards is a bit one dimensional...I'd probably give Cameron a shot but it's a toss of MM's coin....Pendleberry to keep waiting

I think we have to keep pendles waiting....

next weeks match is perfect for the kid...

we wont need the tall defence because we are up against the bulldogs therefore you would think Wakelin would probabally go out.. Rhyce would come in and probabally Jason ommitted, just for team balance.. therefore Pendles will come in to take on the small,quick bulldogs...

Wouldnt we love Harry in this case, it would be perfect for him (small forwards and all)
