Squad only so maybe no change at all
But good work on Jarryn ( only 2 games back) and Arryn ( someone tried to tell me he was on the surgery list).

Mini has been working hard and presenting at Sandy .

have they released an "extended bench."

SainterK · Post: # 1101115Post **SainterK** » Thu 07 Jul 2011 5:58pm

Geary might sub, ease him back into it

Or then again, they may simply be the emergencies.

Tommy unlucky, maybe against WCE monster forward line he may get a crack.

At the moment, the bench is a lottery. Looks like we will have to wait until Sunday.

Ground conditions may influence final selections..

Pumped to see Geary is back in the mix, I am a big fan of his even if he does have his flaws...

I would like to see Geary and Siposs in for Gamble and Raph.

Jacks Back · Thu 07 Jul 2011 6:19pm

Sunday extended benches are finalized on Friday afternoons.

He is applying pressure, making people actually earn their spots, he can keep doing exactly what he is doing.

Do you think that any player would really feel pressured by McQ though? Let's be realistic he might make a whole bunch of tackles but he misses about as much as he actually sticks and plenty he misses are awful.

But if implied pressure is what we are after then by all means...

Literally all he does is run around chasing putting on perceived pressure despite being unable to tackle consistently...so basically his gamestyle is a complete oxymoron...a tackler that cannot tackle

My mate watched the Sandy / Collingwood match and said that Mac Qualter was the best on ground by fair margin, he seems to get more of a run on the ball at Sandy so gets to show his wares a little. Good on him if he has gone back and worked his way into the seniors.

Love the Geary and hopes he makes life hard for Port, he is the only guy in our modern history to wear as many head bandages as Ball and Baker.

Johnson is still not getting a game which is a shame, I would love to see him get a few games straight. Tommy could come in against GC or some one they regard as a walk up.

Goddard has worn a few bandages over the journey, even Dal has had a fair share for a pretty boy

:P

Nobody will ever beat Ball though, there were times when I thought he was sponsored by a bandage company....

----- Weird feeling just came over me then, that was the first time I've had a positive feeling when thinking of or discussing LB since he left... I think the pain is healing, perhaps one day I'll even look back fondly on him

gringo · Post: # 1101160Post **gringo** » Thu 07 Jul 2011 7:11pm

I know what you mean. I watched the Brissie smashing on youtube a while ago and had a bitter sweet reaction, he was good in those days but the sour taste came back.

Geary hasn't been tearing it up in the VFL so find this a little confusing.
Obviously they have faith in the guy and keen to get him back in contention.
But if I were Smith, Walsh, Simpkin, Johnson, Winmar I'd be peeeeved.

BigMart · Post: # 1101166Post **BigMart** » Thu 07 Jul 2011 7:36pm

As well you should, he earned those bandages The hard way....

I think Big Ben is safe.
