What about Jack Steven for next week?

Post: # 1000105Post kaos theory »

mcevoy will be certain replacement for gardi.....but is there a chance for another small/mid runner?

The choices are:
- Geary
- Armo
- Steven

Steven adds pace, goal kicking ability, and something different...he aslo seems to do well at the G...

Obviously, it depends on whomay go out.....Its unlikely Ray, Peake or Mini will be droped. Gram maybe an injury concern....but none of those 3 play his role...

Really? Hadn't heard that. Was emergency in the earlier final. Hope he gets it right for next year.

Will be interesting to see if Rossy sticks with Gram. He was critical of both Dal and Gram on the footy show. Said he expecting both to improve. I think Dal will be better for the run, but no so sure about Gram. He may miss. If he does, I think Geary will replace him, but if Gram can get up I think they will play him.
Watching the replay he struggled to change direction and could/should have been able to hold that tackle on Leon early in the last. He is clearly struggling.

He won't drop anyone. I just can not see that happening, particularly since none of those guys have played for a few weeks now.

Gram was struggling to turn quickly and often looked like he was moving at half pace. Is an obvious weak link with his groin problem now. Can't imagine a fit Geary being worse.

Gram and Gardi will get a week to assist recovery, no-one will be dropped if RL can help it, I'm sure.

Baker will be even better for the run, NDS will improve too.

Been in Alaska for a sizable chunk of this year, with limited internet access. What happened to Steven King? No mention of him in any injury list.

If Gram is carrying something which on yesterdays performance suggests that he might be, geary is a similar player (relatively). Although mini and eddy played their roles well, I can't help to think that Armo up fwd could also lay 10 tackles but may also pop up for a goal or 2. A little more upside IMO.

Really? Why isn't he on the injury list with Raph and J Smith?

Grammie made a vital spoil in the dying seconds. Ran off his man to do it, knocked the ball out.
