Pre match. Pies v. Hawks - All comments

It's out of left field I know, but I wonder if Bucks might consider resting both Grundy and Witts this week and playing Hudson as our ruckman, with support from White? I don't expect it, but the more i think about it the more it makes sense. Our young rucks are looking weary and it would be good to see if Hudson can still cut the mustard should he be called upon in September. A bigger ruck load for White is what he needs.

Would have thought the Doggies game was the one to try Huddo against Minson. Ceglar and Hale I think a better match up for Witts and Grundy.

Then again perhaps Hudson could exploit Ceglar and be a real advantage for us.

Could work against Ceglar, but doubt Hale hasn't had the pleasure of going head to head with Huddo.

Don't doubt the peoples beard, he'll give 110% and take no prisoners.

do you think Hudson can still move? Isnt he turning 100 this year?

Did anyone else see frost limping about at training on the news tonight? Looked very proppy.

Bigfooty whisper he's unlikely to get up.

Also that Swanny has a groin issue that may or may not be related to his wrist injury. Will play through 2014 and have surgery post season.

Neither come from posters I'm familiar with.

Need to maintain the strategic course. Keep getting games into our kids.

We need to remember that we will get peaks and troughs with kids. No point in playing Huddo unless one of our young rucks is injured.

Similarly with other kids. I'd rather play them than not. While I'd love to have a crack this year, (and we can) it must be more about the next two years. We need preparation for this as our mission in 2014

Also everyone is discussing the Hawks injury list. Our list is just as bad.

Actually ours is now far worse.

I tell ya if Frost doesn't get up to play and joins Brown, Reid, Maxwell and Goldsack on the sidelines then we have little chance.

Who in the hell would play on Hale or Roughead if a switch is in need?

White would be the only player with some size and mobility who could be sent into defence.

^ NOW I am getting very nervous indeed. sigh.

I have a sneaky feeling that we might see Marsh make his debut, all being a forced debut.

Chronic overuse might cause such injuries (at least that's what someone has told me)

Got a Funny Feeling we will win this Game

I love your positive feeling DTM but unfortunately I think we have far too many injuries this week to counterr Hawthorn, If we had close to a full list, I would definitely back us in to win and win well.

Bloody injuries...........

[MJ23]

Id suggest Frost is very doubtful given how much we need him for the rest of the year. The club has been overly cautious this year with injuries and I dont expect this to change for this game.

Marsh could very well find himself in the team because he is tall. Oxley could also come in however without even Goldy in the team we have real problems.

( that was one of the strengths of Leroy, he could play ruck, forward and back. cant see white doing this )

Jokes right?

There is no way we could currently be without Brown, Reid, Maxwell, Goldsack AND Frost, surely?

The only way a team could possibly have such a contingency covered is either ridiculous numbers of versatile talls who can play at either end, or a serious imbalance in the original squad.

We're screwed. We will end up with Blair as a key defender

Now your talking...... I like the way you think...

I would love to give Marsh and Armstrong a go if those rated above them are out injured......

In Armstrong case we've still got a few other options then... when was the last time the boot studder and orange boy ran out for a game? for any team?
