that's what I thought but the VFL site shows him playing against Footscray and having 19 disposals , 5 tackles

maybe there are 2 of him

 

[Grundogging]

Not a bad thing IMO. As long as Adams comes back helathy and we bring the bear in, the way Beams has been playing lately it's no great loss.

Could also pave the way for a run of games from Wills with a little luck, which wouldn't be bad for SC given his tackle-heavy approach.

Have I missed something re Grundy? Currently has the injury symbol next to him in SC. Any ideas @Herbie66 ?

Just the ankle he hurt last week. He played through, so should be ok.

can't play Cox , Mihocek , Reid all up forward so might be a chance to bring in Cox and give Grundy a spell ?

or just a bit cautious about his ankle

Stephen Hill listed as 1-2 weeks , does that put Bewley's spot in the team under risk ?

Bennell a possibility as well.

 

[Drew]

Thanks guys!

Yeah I think it does. Would be great if both Bennell and Hill get named round 13 to give us all a definitive answer.

Like many of us just trying to find that downgrade option with reasonable JS that will play during the byes and beyond.

Going around in circles on Hately , Bewley , Clarke ......really need a dg this week to go 1/2 up.

Will keep thinking

Far out

Anyone have any information on Stocker?

 

[Professor]

Anyone have any information on Stocker?

Yeah, no info apart from what's been printed, foot injury. Hopefully more comes out soon, personally I think it's a rest, as they need more senior players in the 22.

I'm half wondering if it's worth trading him to Dylan Clarke now (not for much money but enough for what I want to do next week), they are pretty stacked with half-backs with Daisy and Simpson back so wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't come back into the side next week either when I need players. The motivation is to free up another trade next week in order to allow an injury trade if necessary. if no new information comes to light I'll just hold I think.

Not sure if Stocker will be back soon. If you're trading this week, I'm concerned with Woosha's plans. Clarke was given the job and did brilliantly, does he keep his spot? He should based on that performance, is there a changing of the guard? Myers drops himself to the reserves, Parish comes in with 2 career best performances in the midfield. Will Clarke play midfield or wing, not sure. Seems the logical trade, but concerned about long term JS & going early while he's having his bye. That goes for Bewley too.

Yeah it's a tough one. I feel like we have a lot inside mid depth with Shiel back. You have Shiel who is guaranteed to play there and then Merrett and Heppell as the next two guys. Then Parish has started dominating and Clarke just came in and did a great job tagging. It might be that they try tagging given how well it worked for them and play Shiel and Clarke there with a rotation of Merrett, Heppell and Parish for the 3rd mid at centre bounces but it's difficult to judge. There doesn't appear to be a whole lot else coming through though so I don't feel like we can be too picky.

Also they have been getting Clarke to tag in the VFL and he is more or less our best mid at that level (and gets tagged as well) so I imagine they've actually been trying to develop him as our tagger with this in mind.

I personally really hope we continue to tag when the opposition has an elite mid, it's something that's really hurt us in the past.

Bombers plays HAW (JOM), WCE (Gaff, Yeo, Shuey), GWS (JKelly, Cogs), SYD (JPK), NTH (Higgins, Cunnington) & ADE (Sloane, MCrouch).

Do you feel there's sufficient danger in the abovementioned players for Woosha to persist with the tagging ploy...?
